WASHINGTON (AP) — Russian internet trolls worked to discourage black voters in the United States and "blur the lines between reality and fiction" as they tried to help get Donald Trump elected president in 2016. That's according to reports released Monday by the Senate intelligence committee. The campaign didn't end with Trump's ascent to the White House. Troll farms are still working to stoke racial and political passions in America at a time of high political discord.

Moonves was ousted in September after allegations from women who said he subjected them to mistreatment including forced oral sex, groping and retaliation if they resisted.

They are forced to give up their language and religion and are subject to political indoctrination.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Many Republicans are saying it's up to Democrats and President Donald Trump to cut a deal to avoid a partial government shutdown beginning this weekend.
