The U.S. Office of Personnel Management has publicly warned federal employees about violating the Hatch Act after FBI officials have been seemingly trying to undermine Hillary Clinton's campaign with a series of actions and leaks just days before the election.

Campaigning for Hillary Clinton in North Carolina, President Obama took on both Trump and North Carolina Senator Richard Burr, who is running for re-election. He's the sweetheart who only a few days ago made jokes about Hillary Clinton and gun owners and bullseyes. Yeah, THAT guy.

The thirty-sixth installment of Keith Olbermann's bi-weekly series, The Closer, produced by GQ, focuses on the horrific possibility of an America where Donald Trump's own media network would not only be a reality, but a means of destroying our most important freedoms with surgical precision.

At The New Republic, Brian Beutler reminds us that Republican power in Congress -- to threaten Hillary Clinton with a blockade of her judicial appointees if she's elected president, to compel the FBI to embarrass Clinton shortly before the election with more talk of emails -- derives from Democratic voters' decision to stay home in large numbers in the 2010 and 2014 midterms. The FBI, Beutler says, has no fear of recriminations because Republicans control both houses of Congress:

Bill O’Reilly was outraged Monday night that a poster saying “unborn lives matter” was denied approval by Catholic DePaul University for display on campus because it was disrespectful to Black Lives Matter.

It's finally over!

The Cubs have won the World Series, finally ending the curse of the Billy Goat that has haunted the franchise for over a hundred years.

In an epic game seven, Cubs manager Joe Maddon inexplicably did almost everything in his power to blow the game to the resilient Cleveland Indians, but after surrendering a three run lead in the eighth inning - a sudden, but short rain delay prompted the Cubs to score two runs in the tenth inning and they held on to win 8-7.

Songs that will always make you smile no matter what crap the day throws at you. This is one of those for me. Rave on!

Forget P***ygate! Once Donald Trump gets to the White House, he will be totally presidential, Fox News wants you to think. Fox News contributor Pete Hegseth managed to keep a straight face when he made that argument today on Fox & Friends

Please note that like most live stand up, this clip has some eff bombs and other swearing. Headphones at work.

We know that Donald Trump avoiding paying taxes for many years. Today The New York Times offers an explanation of how he pulled that off: He deducted debt of nearly a billion dollars even though he swapped equity in Trump partnerships for some of that debt, which meant he didn't have to pay the entire amount he owed. The tax trick was legally dubious and was eventually outlawed.

Louis CK shared his feelings on this election on Team CoCo last night. Knowing that this could cost him half his audience, Louis spoke candidly about his incredible respect for Hillary Clinton, who he'd vote for over anyone else.
