It was Hillary Clinton's night in Philadelphia Monday, but it was Michelle and Barack Obama who stole the show. The outgoing First Couple stepped up before a packed-out crowd of thousands in Independence Square, outside the very building where the Declaration of Independence was signed, to reflect on the past eight years and to look forward to a promised future of hope and prosperity - pending a Clinton presidency. The crowd had already been warmed up by music from Bruce Springsteen (bottom-right) and Jon Bon Jovi, and a speech by Bill Clinton, but even that build-up wasn't enough for the emotional heights that Michelle Obama reached in her time on the podium.

Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin (main image with the candidate and inset at Westchester airport) finally made it back onto her boss's campaign plane for one of the final legs of Clinton's historic presidential run. Reporters spotted Clinton's loyal aide aboard the plane late Monday night after Clinton's campaign rally in Philadelphia. Abedin was effectively grounded after October 28, when FBI Director James Comey announced the stunning news that the bureau was taking another look at Clinton's emails. Abedin went to work at the campaign's Brooklyn headquarters, and participated in a big bucks fundraiser in Washington along with Vogue editor Anna Wintour. Then on Sunday, two days before Election Day, Comey dropped another bombshell, revealing that after a review of additional emails, the FBI was standing by its July decision - not to recommend criminal charges against the former Secretary of State.

In an apparent attempt to intimidate voters, at least a dozen trucks and other vehicles were caught on video parading around early polling stations in Florida waving Confederate flags. All of the vehicles were outfitted with the American and Confederate flag along with other flags that read: 'Trump for president.' The incident was caught on camera by John Zaccaro, Jr, who was volunteering as a poll observer in Florida, according to his sister Donna Ullman. Ullman posted the video on Facebook along with several photos of the Confederate-flag wielding motorcade on Monday. She wrote that her brother was 'seeing blatant voter intimidation and suppression efforts'. In the short clip, the Donald Trump supporters can be heard honking and shouting at individuals entering the polling station.

And he added that Belichick 'wrote me the most beautiful letter, and it was only two hours ago. So we called back'.

A woman donned a 'full burka' and posed as longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin at a New York City polling station in an attempt to prove the ease with which voter fraud is committed. The video, created by Project Veritas, was posted on YouTube just one day before the elections showing the 'undercover' woman being given an affidavit paper ballot to vote under Abedin's name. It is unclear when the clip was filmed, but a federal judge ruled on Friday night that the New York City Board of Elections must provide affidavit ballots to all voters whose names do not appear on the registration rolls.

Melanie Liverpool-Turner, 30, (pictured top, at the scene, and bottom right) has been charged with murder for pushing Connie Watton, 49, in front of a moving subway train in New York City on Monday. The two women, who police said did not know each other, were both standing on the downtown platform of the 1 train at the Times Square-42nd Street station (bottom left, authorities on the scene after the incident). Watton was shoved onto the tracks at around 1.20pm and pronounced dead on the scene shortly afterward, a police spokeswoman told Daily Mail Online. A Metropolitan Transportation Authority worker said Liverpool-Turner looked 'proud' as she was led away by police officers moments later. A motive has not been established, but Liverpool-Turner told authorities she pushed a German college student to her death last month, even though police concluded the 19-year-old had committed suicide. Liverpool-Turner underwent a psychiatric exam at Bellevue Hospital, and police sources told the New York Post she has a history of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. But now police are reexamining the 19-year-old's death, to see whether Liverpool-Turner was involved, NBC reported.

A white Seattle teacher has been placed on paid leave after wearing a Michael Jordan costume (right) to school. Peter Colino, a math teacher at Ingraham High School, wore a Michael Jordan rubber mask, the NBA star's Chicago Bulls jersey, a sweatband and black gloves to class on Halloween. A video of Colino in the costume spread throughout the school quickly after it was shared on Snapchat - but it also led to a parent complaining to the principal. Colino has apologized to his students, but said he's worn the same costume to the school for 18 years and insists his intent was to 'honor' Jordan (pictured inset in his pomp in 1998), not cause offense.

The emergence of humans accounts for just a blink in the timeline of our planet - but in the short period that humans have lived on Earth, populations have risen to staggering numbers. A new animation from the American Museum of Natural History shows the exponential growth of our species, from less than a million people when modern humans began migrating out of Africa about 100,000 years ago to more than 7.2 billion alive today. The most dramatic increase has occurred only recently; while it took humans roughly 200,000 years to reach a population of 1 billion, it took just 200 years beyond that to get to where we are now.
