But—surprise—there’s one thing the presidential candidates agree on: Don’t defund the police. Protesters have turned to “defund the police” as a rally cry in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis and other black people who have been killed by law enforcement.

“The people have spoken,” Musk about six minutes after the poll ended. “Trump will be reinstated.

The Statue of Liberty must not remain an empty symbol,” López Obrador wrote in a retweet....

You couldn’t shake a sense of deja vu as Schumacher mounted an inspired charge, catching up rapidly, making use of the semi-wet conditions and his car’s wet-favoring setup, just as he had done so many times during the early days.
