Bodycams show us almost everything the MPD told us about Amir Locke's killing is a lie. The officers snuck into the apartment, did not announce themselves, surprised him, he did not aim a weapon at officers. The shots fired were, of course, from them. Also, he was not a suspect.

Socialist candidate Gabriel Boric has won Chile's presidential election, beating a far-right candidate who supports Trump and Bolsonaro. This is a huge victory for the Latin American left.

Democrats won the Senate by promising checks directly to struggling people.

Now, they are whittling every last one of their promises down to nothing, ensuring a total wipeout in 2022.
