Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

I suddenly feel better about tomorrow.
The history of contemporary music is littered with hundreds of rivalries both amicable and otherwise.
With this year’s Grammy nominations, a new feud has emerged to top them all.

Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.
