After midnight on August 19, 2012, Enger Javier was standing in the McDonald’s parking lot where he hung out every weekend, talking with his friends and enjoying the Latin music that was pumping out of the souped-up cars congregated there. The fast-food eatery was a popular late-night hangout spot for young people in the Claremont section of the Bronx, a neighborhood where household income is less than half the citywide median and gang violence is common. The Trinitarios, Javier’s gang, were engaged in a bitter feud with another crew called Dominicans Don’t Play. On the night of the 19th, a former DDP member was stabbed to death following a scuffle, and Javier was arrested for the killing.

Hillary Clinton can now officially claim victory in Iowa, beating Bernie Sanders by a razor-thin margin of 0.2 percent according to Breaking News.

Five-time candidate for President of the United States Ralph Nader appeared on Tavis Smiley last night and had this to say about the state of politics in 2016:

Wow, the price of oil is still low as hell. Oil company earnings are terrible. Consumer prices at the pump are super cheap. Oh, that remind me, you know what we could use right now?

13. Toys - $506.95

Last quarter, the Lindsey Graham campaign spent $44.17 at Hooters.

Last quarter, Bernie Sanders’ campaign paid $625 to actor and careless man Mark Ruffalo. We wanted to know... why?

“Democratic caucus results in more than a dozen precincts are missing.”

Under Iowa’s arcane Democratic caucusing rules, ties can be broken by the toss of a coin, leaving the designation of some delegates up to physics. On Tuesday, Hillary Clinton won at least three delegates by coin toss. Which delegates? Delegates to what? Where? No one knows!

TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK blared a banner at Carly Fiorina’s post-caucus rally in Iowa tonight. The banner was speaking to a bunch of empty tables.

Who says you can’t have fun in Iowa?

This morning, the smart money had it that Donald Trump would win Iowa, and Ted Cruz would come in second—but it was possible that Trump could under-perform and Cruz would win. Well, Ted Cruz has won Iowa. Donald Trump is in second, and Marco Rubio is in third. But according to “the narrative,” Donald Trump is tonight’s big loser, and Rubio the upset victor.

On Sunday, the New York Times reports, 28-year-old Serge Duthely hanged himself while in police custody. This is the third time someone has hanged himself in an NYPD holding cell since May.

MSNBC has been giving its viewers a live look at the incredibly tedious process that is caucusing in Iowa, but they did at least manage to air one interesting thing: a young undecided voter clearly cursing on camera.

It’s finally here. In a few short hours, Iowa residents will crown their harvest king and everyone else in the country can go back to forgetting that Iowans exist for the next four years.

Tonight, voters in Iowa, the birthplace of democracy, are participating in something called a “caucus,” which, according to the New York Times on Snapchat, has something to do with popcorn. We will be updating this post with Democratic results and bad tweets as they come.

Europol, the European Union’s criminal intelligence agency, reports that at least 10,000 refugee children have gone missing since arriving in Europe. Brian Donald, Europol’s chief of staff, worries that an E.U.-wide “criminal infrastructure” of trafficking syndicates is targeting unaccompanied minors, the Guardian reports.

Soon we’ll have a winner in the first official contest of the 2016 election. For the Republicans, it’s likely to be Donald Trump, though it could be Sen. Ted Cruz. There is a small chance it will be Sen. Marco Rubio, the supposed “establishment” candidate. But it probably won’t be. And don’t worry: Losing—repeatedly and for a long time—is all part of Rubio’s master plan.
