‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ Broke Box Office Records Last Night
While spoilers will not be given out, the film was full of surprises while paying homage to both trilogies that came before it. Greenfield said the success of “Force Awakens” would not be enough to offset the impact of subscriber losses at ESPN.
Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager Jeff Weaver Friday said that one staffer was sacked and more disciplinary action may follow against other staffers who had “irresponsibly” accessed Clinton campaign information as a result of a Democratic National Committee data breach.
House Approves .1 Trillion Spending Bill
The deal marks a major achievement for new Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who delivered 150 Republican votes for the spending bill. Under a plan worked out in bipartisan negotiations, the legislation would be combined and voted on in the Senate the same day.
The revelation poses a setback for Sanders, who is mounting a liberal challenge to the former secretary of state.
Liverpool Won’t Risk James Milner for Watford Game Due to Injury

Because competing campaigns use the system, it is created to have firewalls between different campaigns’ research files.
Hillary Clinton is still looking to maintain her strong national lead among Democrats just six weeks before the first nominating contest of the 2016 presidential election. We will continue to work with and report to the DNC regarding this issue to ensure that this isolated incident does not recur.
Some media outlets are reporting that a summary of computer logs shows four aides to the Sanders campaign accessed proprietary voter data compiled by Clinton’s campaign, with the reports attributing the information to an anonymous person said to be familiar with the data logs and the breach.
The breach was revealed at a time when Sanders’ candidacy is fading from its summer highs and Clinton is dominating the Democratic race, leading 59%-26% nationally, according to a Monmouth University poll Wednesday.
The breach was brought to light on Thursday after Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ campaign manager, admitted that one of Sanders’ staffers viewed the Clinton campaign’s private voter data.
The DNC made the move after its own vendor accidentally allowed Sanders’ campaign access to Clinton information.
Weaver said none of the data was downloaded, so he believes the Sanders campaign no longer has access to it. He blamed the breach on the software vendor in charge of the DNC’s voter data.
Today, however, the Sanders campaign has encountered its first major stumbling block. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) (L) and Hillary Clinton take part in a presidential debate sponsored by CNN and Facebook at Wynn Las Vegas on October 13.
Weaver said Friday that Clinton’s campaign data “should not have been looked at”.
“We’re giving them a variety of opportunities to see our candidates while preserving their ability to be out on the campaign trail, so that they can get up close and personal with voters”, Wasserman Schultz shot back. The campaigns then update that database with their own information about voters.
“The DNC is very susceptible and has taken a lot of incoming attacks for being in the tank for Hillary and its response has to be proportional”, he said.
The DNC’s suspension of Sanders’ access to the information means that Sanders will be at least temporarily unable to read crucial voter data in the weeks before the Iowa and New Hampshire nominating contests.
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Shculz told CNN’s “Wolf” that this confession never happened.
NGP VAN, the database vendor, issued a statement Friday saying the DNC had instructed the company to remove the Sanders campaign’s access to the database. “We have to make sure that they did not manipulate the information”.

“We need our data, which has been stolen by the DNC”. He added, “It is our information, not the DNC’s”.
