QUOTE O= THE DAY

"It has a fabulous view of a Chick-fil-A" – <= href="https://link.theskimm.com/click/14881043.280474/aHR0cHM6Ly9za2ltb=RoLmlzLzJPN2REdWM/5bae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8Bf25b4eeb" target="_blank" sty=e="color:#00b2a9;text-decoration:none;">A headline about the $2.5 mi=lion penthouse of your dreams. If that doesn't tickle your fancy, there's =lso a Shell gas station.

THINGS HAPPENING STATESID=

Border Patrol

The Story

Defense Secretary Jim Mattis is planning to send at least 800 troops to the US-=exico border. This has to do with the caravan of migrants that are making the trek to the border. Rem=nder: thousands of Central Americans are trying to reach the US, fleeing v=olence and poverty back home. Some have traveled together as a group for s=fety.

theSkimm

President Trump has made it very clear that stopping =his group from getting into the US is a top priority. And that immigration=is a big issue going into midterms.

Bomb Scares

The Story

You're still hearing about suspicious packages with explosive devices being mail=d to prominent figures around the US. A total of 10 packages have been int=rcepted – including two new ones addressed to former VP Joe Biden =nd one to Robert De Niro (a Dem supporter and critic of President Trump...=emember this speech?). Add=them to the list of leading Dems and critics of Trump that have been targe=ed. None of the explosives have gone off and no one has been injured. But,=as authorities focus their investigation on Florida, they're warning that more devices could be out t=ere.

theSkimm

Some say these actions are a result of the political =limate the country is currently in. Earlier this week, Trump called for un=ty to show that this kind of violence is not OK. He's since changed his tu=e and blamed things on "mainst=eam media" – adding fuel to an already growing fire.

Drug Prices

The Story

Yesterday, President Trump proposed a new plan to change how Medicare pays for s=me drugs. Which means lowering drug costs – which he's promised to do. He said foreign countr=es have taken advantage of American patients and have been paying less for=the same drugs.

theSkimm

Health ca=e is one of the top issues on voters' minds as we head into the midter=s. Under this plan, there would be an "international pricing index" to mak= prices more similar to those in other countries. And it would slowly lowe= prices over five years for half the country.

REPEAT AFTER ME...

What to say when you hear that Michael Avenatti and Julie Swetnick are on the DO='s radar...

This can't be good. Yesterday, a report came out that=said Google protected thre= execs accused of sexual misconduct over the past decade. Including Andy R=bin – the creator and "father of Android." A few years ago, a woma= he had an affair with accused him of pressuring her to perform oral sex. =oogle looked into it and said her allegations were credible. So naturally,=Google asked Rubin to resign, gave him a big goodbye hug, and $90 million =n his way out. Google's CEO responded to the report by sending an email to employees, saying the co i= "dead serious" about having a safe workplace. Oh...and that 48 people hav= been fired in the last two years over sexual harassment – includi=g 13 senior managers and higher-level positions – and no one got a= exit package. Hold for applause.

Who your mom keeps texting you about…Megyn Kel=y. You've seen the headlines. Earlier this week, she talked about blac=face on her show and said "when I was a kid, that was OK as long as you we=e dressing up as, like, a character." Obvious note: it wasn't. She got a t=n of backlash – including from her NBC colleagues – and apologized. But this isn't th= first time she's made headlines at the network...and not the good kind (s=e: this and this). Now, NBC's reportedly cutting the =ord on her morning show, and she could be packing up her desk soon. TBD if=she'd take home the rest of her reported $69 million contract.

What to say when you hear there's more LGBTQ characters on TV than ever before=E2��

That's the good news. Here's the bad news. A new study says nearly half of all H=spanics in the US feel insecure about their place in the country under Pre=ident Trump. And many have also experienced some type of discrimination in=the past year. Like we said, bad news.

What to say when your co-worker tells you something y=u already know…

Blank sta=e.

What to say when you hear that nearly 11 million people reportedly voted early=E2��

Have you?=/a>
