From Tom’s Reading List
Los Angeles Times: Jerry Brown: 'This is no time for Democrats to keep fighting' -- "After carefully avoiding any involvement in the Democratic presidential primary, Gov. Jerry Brown dropped his neutrality – and looked past his bitter history with the Clintons – to endorse Hillary Clinton on Tuesday."
Philadelphia Inquirer: It's time to take Trump at his word -- "So what is the Trump Doctrine that's supposed to stop the world from exploiting us? From his speech, and his previous foreign-policy utterings, it appears to be a variant of isolationism, sort of, maybe. Just pull back and let 'em rot."
Cincinnati Enquirer: Cincinnati police don't recommend criminal charges in gorilla case — "Police have wrapped up their investigation without recommending charges against the mother of a 3-year-old boy who witnesses said fell into the gorilla exhibit at the Cincinnati Zoo, according to a source close to the investigation."
