After her rally with @BarackObama, I asked @amyactonoh about her message to survivors of abuse: "For those out there going through it now, hold on, please. If there's someone you feel safe with, say something about it. I know it's not always safe to do that. It wasn't always safe for me, but you will know. Get the help you need, and I can tell you there is a whole much better life out there.”

. @GreenePlacentia, a Democratic congressional candidate in AZ says she was raped over the summer while trying to repair a campaign sign.
She told @ABC today that she thinks it may have been a “crime of opportunity” but her face is “everywhere on these signs.”
“I'm pretty sure they knew who I was,” she said.
“And whether it was for political reasons or whatever, I mean, it was an attack on a woman, and no woman should be targeted, regardless of whether it's for political reasons or just because they're predators.”

“If you do this for me…I will be your ride or die in Trump world.”
That’s what a former Trump donor alleges Kimberly Guilfoyle expressed when asking him to cover her $100k credit card bill days before her Senate confirmation hearing.
On @GMA, I asked him what he thought the money would be for —
JOB: Did you think that she was asking for that payment in exchange for something?
ERIC DETERS: Oh, absolutely. She made it very clear, and the text messages make it very clear. She was so desperate for me to send that $100,000. She said, "If you do this for me,” and it's in the text messages, “I will be your ride or die in Trump world.”
