New top story from Time: At Thanksgiving, Biden Seeks Unity as Trump Stokes Fading Embers of a Campaign

https://ift.tt/3q4cU1i WILMINGTON, Del. — On a day of grace and grievance, President-elect Joe Biden summoned Americans to join in common purpose against the coronavirus pandemic and their political divisions while the man he will replace stoked the fading embers of his campaign to “turn the election over.” Biden, in a Thanksgiving-eve address to the nation, put the surging pandemic front and center, pledging to tap the “vast powers” of the federal government and to “change the course of the disease” once in office. But for that to work, he said, Americans must step up for their own safety and that of their fellow citizens. “I know the country has grown weary of the fight,” Biden said Wednesday. “We need to remember we’re at war with the virus, not with one another. Not with each other.” President Donald Trump, who has scarcely mentioned the pandemic in recent days even as it has achieved record heights, remained fixated on his election defeat. He sent his lawyer Rudy ...

New top story from Time: COVID-19 Deaths Eclipse 700,000 in U.S. as Delta Variant Rages

https://ift.tt/3uzWYGB It’s a milestone that by all accounts didn’t have to happen this soon. The U.S. death toll from COVID-19 eclipsed 700,000 late Friday — a number greater than the population of Boston. The last 100,000 deaths occurred during a time when vaccines — which overwhelmingly prevent deaths, hospitalizations and serious illness — were available to any American over the age of 12. The milestone is deeply frustrating to doctors, public health officials and the American public, who watched a pandemic that had been easing earlier in the summer take a dark turn. Tens of millions of Americans have refused to get vaccinated, allowing the highly contagious delta variant to tear through the country and send the death toll from 600,000 to 700,000 in 3 1/2 months. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Florida suffered by far the most death of any state during that period, with the virus killing about 17,000 residents since the middle of June. Texas was second with 13,000 dea...

New top story from Time: Efforts to Reopen a Fatal Shooting by Minneapolis Police Just Hit a Roadblock, But a Prosecutor Says He Won’t Give Up

https://ift.tt/2UXQeFa The prosecutor who initially validated the Minneapolis Police Department’s account of the fatal shooting of Terrance Franklin, an unarmed Black man killed by SWAT officers, is now looking at ways to revive the 8-year-old case after a state agency refused to investigate it. “I am determined not to let this review die,” Hennepin County Attorney Michael Freeman told TIME on July 28, two days after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) served notice that it was declining the prosecutor’s request to probe the case with an eye toward prosecuting the officers. It’s the latest twist in the May 2013 killing that Franklin’s family has called an execution, but that police have maintained was a justified use of force after Franklin, 22, allegedly grabbed an officer’s gun and opened fire. TIME in June published a lengthy examination of the case, focusing on a bystander’s video that captured sounds from the basement where Franklin, a burglary suspect,...
