WASHINGTON - U.S. Sen. Cory Booker said Sunday that the recent shootings of police officers in Dallas and two unarmed black men in Louisiana and Minnesota provide another argument against electing Donald Trump as president. "When I hear a presidential candidate like Donald Trump gratuitously demeaning women, demeaning Muslims, demeaning Latinos at a time where our country needs reconciliation, we need people that bind our wounds and build bridges across our chasms," Booker said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

A suburban Minnesota police officer who killed a black driver reacted to the man's gun, not his race, his attorney said Saturday, giving the most detailed account so far of why the officer drew his own weapon. Philando Castile's girlfriend, who streamed the immediate aftermath of the shooting live on Facebook, has said he was shot several times after telling the officer he had a gun and a permit to carry it.

The US Democratic party's slide toward an increasingly anti-Israel position, led by Senator Bernie Sanders, has been halted, at least temporarily. During a meeting of the Democratic party drafting committee Saturday, supporters of Senator Sanders proposed an amendment to the Democratic party platform which would urge an "end to occupation and illegal settlements," in Judea and Samaria, as part of a general statement in the platform about the promotion of a "two-state solution" to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The two have been through a lot in their lives - long hospital stays, hundreds of regular medications and time getting therapy treatments. The twins from Cedar Falls also learned how to speak eloquently about their cystic fibrosis, and just came back from speaking to their United States senators and congressmen about it in Washington, D.C. "We basically told them the University of Iowa Hospital is important to us, 'cause they saved our lives multiple times," said Maren Denison.
As controversial as all the issues surrounding the immigration debate in the United States may be, most Americans agree that those in the country illegally who have been convicted of violent crimes should be deported.

Bernie Sanders 's delegates were thwarted Saturday in their attempt to push amendments blocking the Trans-Pacific Partnership, following a tense debatethat pitted Sanders backers and the Democratic Party's left flank against Hillary Clinton's supporters and President Barack Obama. The vote came as delegates wrapped up two days of wrangling in Orlando, Florida, on the final draft of the 2016 platform, a non-binding and largely symbolic document which will be officially presented at the party's convention in Philadelphia later this month.

Republicans are normally hesitant to acknowledge how race can play a role in how an individual experiences life in America. But after two black men were fatally shot by police this week, and after a Thursday night ambush attack claimed the lives of five officers in Dallas , some in the GOP took a markedly different approach when discussing race relations.
When Philando Castile saw the flashing lights in his rearview mirror the night he got shot, it wasn't unusual. He had been pulled over at least 52 times in recent years in and around the Twin Cities and given citations for minor offenses including speeding, driving without a muffler and not wearing a seat belt.
An Air Force installation in North Dakota has been trying to find its niche since its mission was changed a few years ago from refueling tankers to unmanned aircraft. Its focus might one day be at the top of the world.
Caitlyn Jenner isn't wavering in her support for Republicans; she just booked an appearance in Cleveland, the site of the Republican National Convention, two days after the confab begins on July 18. Jenner will appear at a "Big Tent Brunch" hosted by groups like Equality Ohio and socially-liberal conservatives, including the American Unity Fund and the Log Cabin Republicans, the latter being an LGBT GOP organization. Former talk show host Montell Williams, a Republican LGBT rights supporter, will introduce Jenner at the event, which will call for the party to embrace queer rights in its new platform.

Flynn in order to project strength and know-how on national security, according to four people familiar with the vetting process.
Combined spending so far for TV, radio and online ads of various kinds for and against Republican Sen. Rob Portman and former Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland starting late last year is up to at least $45 million, and much more is expected.
Spotify, a Swedish service, last week blasted Apple for rejecting an updated version of its popular streaming app in the online store used by iPhone users.

MIAMI On Friday, for the first time since the end of their sharp rivalry, Marco Rubio joined Donald Trump on the presidential campaign trail as one of Trump's lunch guests at Miami's Versailles Cuban restaurant. Rubio's attendance, confirmed to the Miami Herald by Trump's campaign and Rubio's Senate re-election campaign, is a significant coup for Trump, whose Miami trip is intended to smooth over relations with local Hispanics deeply dubious of his presumptive Republican nomination.
