CNN
The Department of Justice has filed multiple federal hate crimes charges against alleged Buffalo shooter Payton S. Gendron which carry the potential of the death penalty.
The complaint filed by prosecutors in the US Attorney's Office for the Western District of New York states that, "Gendron's motive for the mass shooting was to prevent Black people from replacing white people and eliminating the white race, and to inspire others to commit similar attacks."
Gendron, 18, who is White, shot 13 people -- 11 of them Black -- at the Tops Friendly Market on May 14. Ten of those victims died.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
