A new CNN/ORC poll that'll come out around the same time this newsletter hits your inbox finds that most Americans want a path to citizenship for undocumented, but employed, workers. And most support deporting those who commit crimes. But we're split on who we trust to make it happen: 49% say Clinton; 47% support Trump. | | | Yet again, regime warplanes dropped chlorine bombs in the Syrian city of Aleppo. The footage is just flat-out disturbing: Kids gasping desperately for air. A man lying lifeless as medics pump oxygen into his lungs. Such scenes are becoming all too familiar. Rebels still hold the city, but Syrian forces have it surrounded and have cut off basic supplies, such as food and meds. Last month, they dropped chemical bombs at a funeral wake for children. | | | Jacob Wetterling's parents finally got the answers they'd waited three decades for, but it did nothing to ease their pain. Danny James Heinrich admitted in court he abducted, sexually assaulted and killed the 11-year-old boy in 1989. The terrified boy had one question, Heinrich said: "What did I do wrong?" Heinrich gets 20 years for possessing child porn but won't be charged with murder. Because his confession was the only way to verify Jacob was dead. | | Five hundred. That's the number of people killed in Chicago this year, the deadliest there in two decades. It happened over Labor Day weekend, when 13 people were fatally shot. The reasons for this are many as this visual guide from CNN's Amanda Wills and Sergio Hernandez lays out.

Then, longtime host Greta Van Susteren announces she's leaving and it doesn't look anything like an amicable parting. It's just another dent in the armor for the network that's dominated the cable news biz for more than a decade. | | | People are talking about these. Read up. Join in. | | How I spent my summer
Taylor Swift's and Tom Hiddleston's summer lovin' is over. Their little lovefest ended after just three months. So will they ever, ever get back together? | | The trouble with numbers
