Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Sunday night that the committee’s hearing with Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh should be postponed after a new sexual-misconduct accuser came forward. “I am writing to request an immediate postponement of any further proceedings related to the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh,” Feinstein wrote to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the committee’s chairman. She also said the FBI should investigate the new claims, which were made by a Colorado woman named Deborah Ramirez. “We need a fair, independent process that will gather all the facts, interview all the relevant witnesses, and ensure the Committee receives a full and impartial report,” Feinstein said. Ramirez alleges that Kavanaugh exposed himself to her during a party while they were freshmen at Yale.

Conservative writer Mark Judge, who denies he witnessed an alleged sexual assault by Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in high school, has said he doesn’t recall his Georgetown Prep classmates getting physical with any girls. But two women, including one who dated Judge in college, have told The New Yorker a very different story. Elizabeth Rasor told the magazine that Judge told her about an incident in which he and other boys took turns having sex with a drunk woman. “I can’t stand by and watch him lie,” Rasor was quoted as saying. Through his attorney, Judge denied the account. The magazine also quoted an anonymous woman who grew up in Maryland in the 1980s as saying she saw Georgetown Prep boys get female students drunk on “jungle juice”—grain alcohol mixed with Hawaiian Punch—for sexual purposes. “It was disgusting,” the woman said. “They treated women like meat.” Neither women suggested Kavanaugh was part of the incidents. Republicans have declined to ask Judge to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee about the party where Kavanaugh is accused of trying to force himself on Christine Blasey Ford.

The trade war between the United States and China stepped up Monday as the countries hit each other with the largest rounds of tariffs yet at the stroke of midnight. President Trump imposed fresh levies on $200 billion in Chinese imports—Beijing responded with tariffs on $60 billion in American goods. The tariffs are now so widespread that China is reportedly running out of U.S. products to target. There is no sign of the trade war cooling down—there are no further talks scheduled to resolve the dispute. Soon after the fresh duties went into effect, China accused the U.S. of engaging in “trade bullyism” and said Trump was intimidating other countries to submit to its will through measures such as tariffs. China said it was still willing to enter discussions but only if they’re “based on mutual respect and equality.”

America’s national parks are warming up and drying out faster than any other U.S. landscapes, a new study has found. The report, published Monday in the journal Environmental Research Letters, is the first to examine rainfall and temperatures in all 417 U.S. national parks. It found that, without a substantial reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions, national parks will become hotter and more drought-ridden in the decades to come. “U.S. national parks protect some of the most irreplaceable ecosystems in the world,” the study states, adding that reductions in industrial emissions could “substantially reduce the magnitude” of expected effects. The study found that, between 1885 and 2010, national parks warmed by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit—twice the U.S. rate—while annual rainfall declined by 12 percent, four times the rate of the U.S. overall.

Milk Makeup’s aesthetic from when it first launches has always been minimal and easy, and their new long wear gel eyeliner doesn’t disappoint. The matte formula isn’t drying (thanks to the addition of hyaluronic acid and avocado oil) and because it’s waterproof, it stays on through pretty much anything. I swatched it on the back of my hand and it stayed there until I harshly scrubbed it off in the sink with soap and water. The best part of this little $22 pencil is something that most eyeliner pencils don’t feature: the addition of a smudge tool and sharpener built right in. On the opposite end of the product is a small sponge to make all your ‘90s grunge dreams come true. Pull it out and on the other end of it is a tiny sharpener so you can keep your wings sharp without having to dig through your makeup bag for an additional tool. It’s an all-in-one package that promises to be your go-to for lining your eyes easily.

Iran has warned the U.S. that it will carry out “devastating” and “crushing” revenge after it accused the country of being involved in an attack on a military parade over the weekend that killed 25. The deputy head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned both U.S. and Israeli leaders Monday that it will seek vengeance for the deaths, which included 12 members of the Revolutionary Guards. “You have seen our revenge before... You will see that our response will be crushing and devastating and you will regret what you have done,” Hossein Salami said on state television. Many chanted “death to Israel and America” as thousands gathered in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz to mourn victims. Four attackers fired on a viewing stand where officials gathered to watch an annual event marking the start of the Islamic Republic’s 1980-88 war with Iraq.

Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, Michael Avenatti, claims he’s representing another woman with “credible evidence” against Brett Kavanaugh. Tweeting late Sunday, the 2020 presidential hopeful said he and his client will “be demanding the opportunity to present testimony to the committee” and that Kavanaugh’s “nomination must be withdrawn.” He added that his client is not Deborah Ramirez, the woman featured in a New Yorker article published Sunday night with a second allegation of sexual assault against Kavanaugh. Avenatti said he’s aware of “significant evidence” that Kavanaugh and his friends targeted women with alcohol and drugs in the 1980s in order to allow “a train” of men to take advantage of them sexually. A Senate Judiciary Committee staffer told the AP late Sunday that the panel is looking into the Ramirez claims as well as the Avenatti report.

Rob Goldstone—the British music publicist who set up the infamous Trump Tower meeting between presidential campaign officials and a Russian lawyer in June 2016—has said he wishes he could erase it from history, and that he should have listened to the “little voice in his head” that told him it was a bad idea. Goldstone told NBC News’ Cynthia McFadden that Donald Trump Jr. came to the meeting expecting “opposition research” from the Russian government, but it ultimately failed to materialize. He blamed the Trump campaign for allowing the meeting to go ahead, saying he knows nothing about politics. He said his email to Trump Jr., in which he promised material that “would incriminate Hillary,” was “puffed up,” and that he had no direct knowledge that the Kremlin was trying to help Donald Trump, adding: “That’s what I do. I’m a publicist.” Goldstone is not facing any charges.

An FBI team that specializes in missing children has joined a massive search for a 6-year-old boy with autism who disappeared this weekend in a North Carolina park. Maddox Ritch, who is nonverbal, was last seen in Rankin Lake Park in Gastonia at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, with his father and another adult, according to WSOC. He started running and the grown-ups lost sight of him, officials said. More than 20 agencies are involved in the search, which includes sniffer dogs and drones. Authorities say they haven’t ruled anything out, including abduction or the possibility that he fell into the lake or is hiding on nearby property. Maddox, who has blond hair and blue eyes, was last seen wearing an orange T-shirt with the words “I am the man.” Anyone with information is asked to call 704-869-1075.

Some 8,000 people in South Carolina have been urged to flee as the aftermath of Hurricane Florence is expected to unleash floods as deep as 9 feet in some areas. The city of Georgetown and its surrounding areas are at risk from severe flooding from two rivers swollen from the storm—the Pee Dee and Waccamaw. The potential flood zone encompasses an estimated 3,500 homes. Pre-recorded voicemails were sent to those in harm’s way over the weekend, and officials are expected to start going door-to-door over the coming days. No mandatory evacuations have been ordered but Georgetown County spokeswoman Jackie Broach-Akers said residents are now being “strongly urged” to leave on their own.
