  • Is Russia behind an attack on the Pentagon's email system?
  • Jon Stewart hosted his last episode of The Daily Show last night. 
  • Donald Trump is accusing Fox debate moderator Megyn Kelly of making up things he's said about women. 
  • Alabama, Louisiana, and New Hampshire are all pulling state funding for Planned Parenthood.
