GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! 'Cause I need somebody giving nuthin' but good loving all through the night. Someone to break me off a little something when I need to be satisfied. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

The Mercury's editorial endorsements are here, and some of our selections MAY surprise you! (But probably not.) In any case, I think these endorsements are very well reasoned and interesting, so read them, use them when you're filling out your ballot, and vote the shit out of this election RAAHHHHHH!

Advocates are saying that an immigrant business owner was tricked by a campaign into opposing a measure that she's actually supports.

Trump's hateful rhetoric about undermining and erasing trans people will not be posing any legal threat to Oregonians—at least at this juncture. However, the emotional turmoil it causes is very real.

Following yesterday's news that a bomb was left at the residence of liberal donor George Soros, we learn today that explosive devices were delivered to the homes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Secret Service agents intercepted the packages during a routine mail check, and a full criminal investigation is underway. According to the New York Times, "The motive of the would-be Soros bomber or bombers remained unclear, one of the officials said, adding that there had not yet been any claim of responsibility." I'm no detective, but if one is looking for a motive, a good place to start would be Donald Trump, Fox News, and the GOP.

OH, and if you need further proof of this unknowable motive, this just in: A suspicious package has been delivered to CNN as well, causing the evacuation of the building and an investigation by the bomb squad.


President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey continues his verbal attack against the Saudis, using even harsher language to accuse the government of brutally murdering and dismembering journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Meanwhile Trump is finally coming around, and now finds the accusations credible, calling the Saudi's actions "the worst cover-up ever." Hmmm... actually I've seen worse. (STARES HARD AT TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.)

Despite Trump's lies about the migrant caravan making its way northward from Central America, the group is growing larger and more powerful by the day.

Millions across the political spectrum are voting early in the midterm elections, so why shouldn't you? Again, the Mercury's voting guide is right here.

The Virginia attorney general has launched an investigation into alleged child sexual abuse committed by members of two Catholic dioceses.

The most non-shocking headline of the day: "White nationalist Richard Spencer accused of physically abusing wife throughout their marriage." Another great reason to... PUNCH A NAZI!

NBC claps back against their employee Megyn Kelly after she defends black-face Halloween costumes. Or they could, you know, fire her.

There's now a winner in the $1.5 billion Mega Millions lottery jackpot winner, and... IT IS NOT YOU.

Now let's look at this WEATHER situation: Cloudy today with a shower in the evening and a high of 62.

And finally, hey everybody! It's "Douse a Huge Pile of Dry Dead Leaves with Gasoline, and Toss In a Match" season! (Worst season ever.)
