It's Monday — here's what you need to know before the week gets away from you. The Platner story has taken a serious turn. The Wall Street Journal is reporting on illicit texts, and the Daily Wire has new reporting tied to an app called Kik. The candidate who had "nothing to worry about" just two weeks ago now has Cory Booker dodging questions, Andy Kim going silent, and his own campaign canceling scheduled MSNBC interviews.
