Anthony Weiner becomes Hillary Clinton's nightmare

All this time, we thought Anthony Weiner was just Huma Abedin's problem. Turns out he's Hillary Clinton's problem, too. Here's what's happening: FBI Director James Comey said Friday that while the FBI was investigating the former New York congressman's latest sexting scandal, it found new emails that could be pertinent to the previously closed investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of State. Weiner is married to — and currently separated from — Abedin, a longtime Clinton aide who had access to the same device or devices. The FBI obtained a warrant Sunday to begin a review of the emails, but Comey is super vague on what he knows so far. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is saying, "I told you so." Dems are furious and say Comey owes it to the public to reveal more information. Sen. Harry Reid and other Democrats aren't just accusing Comey of making Clinton look bad — they also accuse him of covering up information about Trump and Russian hacking. Carlos Danger just blew up the presidential race. T-minus eight days.

On to another Hilary

Hillary Clinton isn't the only Hillz in the news Monday. Hilary Duff is here, too, and she is SO sorry for her Halloween costume. The star went out in Beverly Hills this weekend with her boyfriend, trainer Jason Walsh, dressed as a pilgrim and a Native American. She had on a short black outfit, and he wore a feather headdress and face paint. Then, Twitter. People called her "ignorant," "racist" and "out of touch." Duff tweeted on Sunday that she messed up and is sorry she offended anyone. Celebs apologizing for racist cultural appropriation is a Halloween tradition. See the stars who actually got it right this year.

Forget everything let's just elect Bill Murray president

The Chicago Cubs are two wins in Cleveland away from the biggest comeback in almost 40 years. The National League champs blocked the Cleveland Indians from out-right winning the World Series on Sunday night, forcing a Game 6 on Tuesday. Besides the Cubs themselves, no one is more pumped about Sunday's win than Bill Murray. The Cubs superfan was caught on the big screen at Wrigley Field, crying and flexing. Hey, when you've been waiting for a World Series win for 108 years, you do you.

What's happening in Mosul

If you don't know what's going on in Mosul right now, you should. For two weeks, Iraqi forces and their Kurdish allies have been converging on Mosul from all directions to drive the Islamic State from Iraq’s second-largest city, the last major city in Iraq held by the group. On Monday, Iraqi special forces advanced on Mosul from the east, taking heavy fire but entering the last Islamic State-held village before the city’s eastern limits and clearing a path that was followed by army units. Since the offensive began, Iraqi forces have made uneven progress. The operation is expected to take weeks, if not months.
