10/20: Prime Minister of Britain announces that she will step down. Pres. Xi Jinping is tightening his grip on power in China.

The new Prime Minister of Britain announced that she will step down after an uproar in parliament and her own party. Liz Truss, who took over from Boris Johnson in early September, will be replaced in a new leadership election. Ukraine's army is moving to cut off Russian forces in the key city of Kherson, hoping to build on other successes on the battlefield. Russian President Vladimir Putin has now declared martial law in four provinces that were illegally annexed earlier this month. President Biden campaigns for Democrats today in Pennsylvania, one of the few places where candidates want his support. A federal judge says Trump signed a legal document under oath, claiming voter fraud in the 2020 election, even though he knew those claims were false. District Judge David Carter pointed to four emails that appear to show attorney John Eastman knew Trump and other Trump lawyers were submitting inaccurate numbers of allegedly fraudulent votes, to federal courts. President Xi Jinping is tightening his grip on power at the Communist Party's National Congress in China. President Xi has introduced more assertive policies at home and abroad, leading to chilly relations with neighboring Taiwan and tighter controls over Hong Kong.
