More casualties as Armenian and Azerbaijani forces clash for second day

The New York Times lands the holy grail of journalism in the Trump era: a history of this larcenous President’s personal income taxes. The searing report details malfeasance on several levels, and promises to give both moderator Chris Wallace and challenger Joe Biden lots to talk about at the first meeting of the candidates.
