Clinton takes on the fake news saying, 'Lives are at risk.' Remembering John Glenn. Online petition seeks shelters for homeless in SLC.

Happy Friday. Hillary Clinton challenged Congress on Thursday to combat fake and misleading news on social media, using a post-election appearance to tackle an issue that gripped her presidential campaign and culminated with a shooting incident Sunday in Washington. "It's now clear that so-called fake news can have real-world consequences. This isn't about politics or partisanship. Lives are at risk," Clinton said.
