This is a critical issue we should all be watching closely. Under Donald Trump's encouragement, voter intimidation is intersecting with open-carry gun laws. Here's what we're looking at on November 8th and what the law says.

Trump-supporting Mayor ousted over racist Facebook posts says he has no regrets.

I mentioned on Friday that after the election we plan to expand our team and focus that expansion on more original reporting. Our iterative style of reporting is the centerpiece of what we do. But more staff capacity will allow us to go deeper, dog more stories at once. Building our Prime membership is a critical part of allowing us to do that. On Friday, we were coming up on 15,000 subscribers. With your help, we pushed through that milestone and now have 15,127, as I write.

We've set ourselves an extremely ambitious goal of getting our subscriber base to 20,000 and we hope to do that by the end of the calendar year - a very tall order but not an impossible one. To get there, we are going to shoot for getting to 16,000 by next Monday. So if you're a regular reader and ready to join us, get a better TPM experience and make it possible for us to expand our operation, please take a moment to join us right now. Just click here.

Late Update: Now at 15,170. Just thirty more to get to 15,200 tonight!

In her first post-sexual assault story interview, Melania Trump ventured out of the Fox News safe space and on to CNN to tell Anderson Cooper that the 'grab' tape was Billy Bush's fault.

I will say that if this were the Clintons and there was any analogue, the idea that Trump or the Trump campaign sent Melania out to clean up Trump's sexual assault mess ... well, we'd never hear the end of it.

The New Yorker's Ryan Lizza has a short piece out today throwing cold water on the idea that there's really going to be a 'Trump TV' after the 2016 election. My take is that I largely agree with Ryan.

Trump TV has always been a sort of Trump's Razor test case or ultimate example. Could it really be so ridiculous as the whole campaign was just a vehicle to launch a low-information TV news and propaganda channel? Everything is ultimately a grift for Trump. So it's totally plausible. Trump's Razor suggests that Trump TV is not only possible but probable. Indeed, the news out today suggests that Trump's mini-me and campaign general Jared Kusher (Ivanka's husband) has been talking to possible financial backers.

But here's why it's probably a dubious proposition.

Secret Service declines comment after Trump supporter says Hillary Clinton "needs to be taken out" and that "she should be in prison or shot."
