  • The Federal Reserve will not be raising borrowing rates, continuing its nine-year stretch.
  • Sen. Bernie Sanders has introduced legislation to abolish private prisons with the "Justice is not for Sale Act." Hey, he also managed to avoid making a silly acronym.
  • A Virginia high school has suspended 20 students for wearing clothing with the Confederate flag on it. The school also forbids students from displaying the flag on their vehicles.
  • The death toll from flash flooding in southern Utah is up to 19.
  • At least 11 are dead from a magnitude 8.3 earthquake that struck Chile yesterday evening.
