Here are a few national and Virginia news headlines, political and otherwise, for Monday, July 11. Also, check out the video of Black Lives Matter protestors shutting down Mercury Boulevard in Hampton to protest police shootings of African Americans.
- Amid protests, U.S. divide over race and policing deepens
- Sanders to join Clinton for New Hampshire rally
- Both are unpopular. Only one is a threat. (“Mr. Trump, by contrast, has waged a campaign based on bigotry, ignorance and resentment. He has no experience as a public servant, and his private record of bankruptcies and exploitation should be disqualifying. He regularly circulates falsehoods. He has no discernible interest in or knowledge of policy. Just in recent days, Mr. Trump tweeted out an anti-Semitic image circulating on neo-Nazi websites and attacked the media for reporting as much. He called one sitting senator a loser and threatened another while proving that he lacks even a passing familiarity with the Constitution. He praised one of the most vile dictators of the 20th century.”)

- Clinton’s new friend — and maybe VP (“Unlike other Democrats being mentioned as potential running mates, Tom Perez has actually gotten to know Hillary and Bill Clinton, and they’ve both taken a shine to him.”)
