Happy birthday to us 🎈🎁🎂

Thursday, November 17, 2016  View this email in your browser We wanted to take a quick moment to mark a milestone: We're a year old this morning. We look different, we sound different. And there's still so much growing up to do. We love how you write to us out of the blue to tell us you love us -- or to point us to a funny video. We love how you also don't hesitate to keep us honest by pointing out when we've made a mistake -- or taken a joke too far. Thank you for making us your first-read in the morning. Keep reading and keep telling your friends. By Doug Criss. 1. Politics We could start off by talking about Donald Trump's pledge to ban lobbyists, or Hillary Clinton's first speech since losing the election, but instead, let's talk about you. We asked you how you feel about the election and your new president. You all left us more than 1,500 voice mails! Here's what you said.  2. Philando Castile Jeronimo Yanez, the Minnesota cop who shot and killed Philando Castile, has been charged with manslaughter. Castile's death during a traffic stop exploded online after his fiance livestreamed what happened. It was one of several police shootings of black men that sparked protests nationwide. 3. Sweden Sweden has a murder mystery that it wants solved, pronto. It's the death of then-Prime Minister Olof Palme, who was gunned down 30 years ago during a late-night stroll. So Sweden's appointed a new prosecutor. He knows what he's doing -- he tried the killer of a Swedish foreign minister in 2003. 4. ICC Russia says it's out of the International Criminal Court, which investigates hideous stuff like crimes against humanity. It called the court an ineffective and inefficient waste of resources. But it's probably ticked off that the ICC started a war crimes investigation into its war with Georgia that killed hundreds.  5. New York-New Jersey bombing Ahmad Khan Rahimi, who's accused of setting off bombs in New York and New Jersey in September, has been indicted on several serious charges, including the use of a weapon of mass destruction. His bail is serious too -- $5.2 million.  Share Tweet Forward Breakfast Browse People are talking about these. Read up. Join in. Baby steps Forget running or lifting weights.
