Trump's lawyer ordered to hand over all Ukraine records |
| House Democrats subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, on Monday for documents related to his dealings with Ukrainian officials, the latest step in the impeachment inquiry. "A growing public record indicates that the president, his agent Rudy Giuliani, and others appear to have pressed the Ukrainian government to pursue two politically-motivated investigations," three committee chairmen wrote to Giuliani on Monday.

Hello, winter, my old friend? |
| Kids in Browning, Montana, were gifted with a rare September snow day Monday after a historically early winter storm pounding parts of the West dumped 4 feet of snow on the town. Barely a week after the end of summer, snow swept across parts of California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Idaho, Nevada and Utah. While folks in the West dig out from the "winter" storm, people being scorched in the South ask how much longer can this endless summer last? |

Two years ago, millions of people said #MeToo. Now what? |
| When #MeToo exploded in the fall of 2017, its most optimistic promise was that it would become more than a hashtag, more than a brief interruption in America's regularly scheduled sexism, more than a reckoning for famous men who abused wealthy, white women. There was hope those two small words signaled the beginning of meaningful change and, eventually, healing – a belief the silence was finally broken. Has #MeToo delivered? "People are paying more attention, but I'm not convinced that we're able or ready to behave differently about it as a nation," said Kristen Houser, chief public affairs officer at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center. |
