WASHINGTON (AP) — The Congressional Black Caucus is condemning President Donald Trump’s comparison of impeachment to lynching. Democratic Rep. Karen Bass of California, the group’s chairwoman, called lynching “a horrific stain on our country’s history” and said Trump’s tweet Tuesday inaccurately compared a constitutional process of investigation to “the systematic brutal torture and murder of thousands of African Americans in this country.

There’s a new trend popping up across the country this October. Halloween-themed Haunted Car Washes are offering customers a wash, wax and scare during October for Halloween. What makes this type of haunted house unique is that customers get to clean their vehicle while enjoying a slow spooky ride through the wash.

Haunted car washes have been set up in Alabama, Texas and Brunswick, Ohio.

Clinton’s allusion to Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard as a “Russian asset” has drawn criticism from some in both main parties.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A Pennsylvania court has ruled that a woman fired for showing a video of naked men to co-workers isn’t eligible for unemployment compensation. A Commonwealth Court panel found that while the video was meant as a joke, Sharon Rodriguez violated policies at the Philadelphia-based clothing firm where she worked. The judges noted Rodriguez was off-duty when she sent the video via text to a co-worker, but she also discussed the video at work with another colleague and played it for her when asked.
