Hillary Clinton's newest book is a certifiable flop by the publishing industry's standards, The New York Times reports. Stronger Together sold only 2,912 copies in its first week of sales according to Nielsen BookScan, which charts about 80 percent of nationwide physical book sales. By comparison, Clinton's 2014 memoir Hard Choices, which also didn't meet expectations, sold over 85,000 copies in its first week, and Clinton's 2003 memoir, Living History, sold six times as many copies as Hard Choices.

Stronger Together is co-authored by Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, and "presents [their] agenda in full, relating stories from the American people and outlining the Clinton/Kaine campaign's plans on everything from apprenticeships to the Zika virus," the Amazon description says. One Amazon reviewer remarked that Stronger Together was "far more interesting than I'd thought this book would be," giving it five stars. Most negative reviews were about the candidate, and not the book itself.

To promote the book, Clinton will "do a series of Stronger Together speeches over the course of the next several weeks," said campaign spokesman Jennifer Palmieri. Jeva Lange

One week after a jury acquitted the Minnesota police officer who fatally shot Philando Castile in 2016, the judge who presided over the case wrote the five women and seven men a letter of support, saying the public and media have been unable to understand "what you were asked to do."

Jeronimo Yanez was acquitted on June 16 of second-degree manslaughter and two counts of intentional discharge of a firearm that endangers safety. Last July, Castile was pulled over by Yanez while driving his girlfriend and her young daughter in Saint Anthony. Dash cam footage shows that after notifying Yanez that he had a legal firearm on him, Castile was commanded not to reach for the gun. Just moments later, Yanez shot Castile seven times, hitting him five times, and Castile's girlfriend, Diamond Reynolds, began streaming the aftermath live on Facebook.

The footage, released on June 20, horrified the public, with many questioning how the jury could come to the conclusion they did after watching it. In the letter, dated June 23, Judge William H. Leary wrote that criticism of the jury's decision "has focused primarily on a reaction to the squad-cam video and on consideration of issues you as jurors were never asked to address. You were simply asked to determine, beyond a reasonable doubt, whether a crime had been committed. You were never asked to decide whether racism continues to exist, whether certain members of our community are disproportionately affected by police tactics, or whether police training is ineffective." All of these topics have become part of the national discussion following several recent high-profile shootings of black men and women across the country.

Leary also told the jurors that any anger over the verdict is "likely due to failure to understand what you were asked to do and that you faithfully fulfilled the difficult task you were asked to undertake," ABC News reports. Days after the verdict was reached, the city of Saint Anthony settled with Castile's mother for nearly $3 million, saying that "no amount of money could ever replace Philando." Catherine Garcia

Over the past week, the Trump Organization has renewed its lease on more than 1,000 web domains, keeping its claim on everything from the defensive TrumpVodkaSucks.com, TrumpNetworkPonziScheme.com, TrumpIsFired.com, and relatively prosaic DonaldTrumpSucks.com to the presumably aspirational TrumpRussia.com and TrumpTowerMoscow.com. Politico, which has an interactive databas of Trump's domain names, says that "according to experts, it's common for large companies to buy up hundreds or even thousands of web domains, often to claim URLs for products they think they may want to develop in the future," or don't want others to claim to embarrass them.

Trump still owns his companies through a trust, though he has turned over management to his two eldest sons, and both the president and his lawyers maintain that he has no inappropriate business dealings with Russia. Trump has also pledged that the Trump Organization won't pursue new foreign deals while he is in office. Most of the renewed domain names deal with Trump Organization properties or future potential properties, but if you want a glimpse of where the president's business is wandering on the web, go to the database and peruse the "Odd Names" category.

Doctors on Wednesday readmitted Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) to MedStar Washington's intensive care unit over concerns he may be susceptible to infection, officials said.

Scalise was shot in the hip June 14 when a gunman opened fire at a field in Alexandria, Virginia, as Republicans practiced for the Congressional Baseball Game. After the shooting, Scalise underwent several surgeries and was in the ICU for nine days. He is listed as being in serious condition. The hospital said it will give an update on Scalise on Thursday.

A scathing new Amnesty International report pins the climbing number of migrant deaths in the central Mediterranean on "failing EU policies."

So far this year, more than 2,000 migrants and refugees have died while trying to get to Europe, the report said. In 2015, the European Union strengthened a search and rescue program that prevented deaths in the Mediterranean, the report states, but now, the focus is on smugglers as they launch boats out of Libya. "European states have progressively turned their backs on a search and rescue strategy that was reducing mortality at sea in favor of one that has seen thousands drown and left desperate men, women, and children trapped in Libya, exposed to horrific abuses," the report said, adding that it's believed the Libyan coast guard is colluding with traffickers and abusing migrants.

Interior ministers from EU countries are meeting in Estonia to discuss the migrant crisis and the European Commission's plan to combat it, which calls for splitting $92 million — half to Libya to boost the coast guard's ability to stop smugglers as they launch boats and half to help Italy take care of migrants that make it to the country. The EU has not responded to the report. Catherine Garcia

A measure now heading to the desk of Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) requires insurers in the state to cover abortions and other reproductive health services for all patients at no cost.

The bill, which passed in the Oregon state Senate 17-13, ensures that women are not denied access due to income, citizenship status, or gender identity, and does have some religious exemptions. Additionally, over the next two years, the measure would allocate nearly $500,000 to expand reproductive health coverage for immigrants who are not eligible for Medicaid, The Associated Press reports.

Oregon does not have tight abortion restrictions like some states, and there are no waiting periods or spending limits on using taxpayer money. The measure was introduced in early March as Republicans in Washington began to move forward with their attempt to repeal ObamaCare. Catherine Garcia

The New York police officer who was shot and killed early Wednesday while sitting in a marked truck in the Bronx is being remembered as a "jovial" and loving mother of three.

Miosotis Familia, 48, was a 12-year veteran of the force who worked in the 46th Precinct. She was with her partner when she was "assassinated in an unprovoked attack on cops," said James O'Neill, the New York police commissioner. The suspect, 34-year-old Alexander Bonds, allegedly shot through the window of the truck, and then took off. Officers found Bonds running a block away from the shooting, and he drew a gun when confronted; he was then shot and killed by police, O'Neill said. A silver revolver found at the scene, CNN reports, had been stolen four years ago in Charleston, West Virginia.

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio praised Familia's fellow officers for quickly coming to her aid after she was shot "serving this city, protecting people, doing what she believed in, and doing the job she loved." Friend Isabel Roman told CNN that Familia was a "very jovial, happy person," and devoted to her children — 12-year-old twins and a 20-year-old — while brother-in-law Carlos Corporan called her an "excellent" person, adding that the family was "completely devastated" by her death.

Opposition deputies were attacked Wednesday in Caracas by supporters of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro armed with stones and metal tubes.

At least six lawmakers were injured, in addition to several staffers. The Maduro backers entered the National Assembly complex on Venezuela's independence day, with national guard officers watching, the Los Angeles Times reports, and opposition member Tomas Guanipa showed reporters shell casings he said came from bullets fired from the street at the assembly. Guanipa accused Maduro and his supporters of using "disproportionate violence to maintain himself in power."

Since March, at least 91 people have been killed and 2,500 injured during anti-government protests, and more than 3,000 demonstrators have been arrested. The country is dealing with a crashed economy, food shortages, and violent crime, and polls show a majority of Venezuelans oppose Maduro's push for a new constitutional convention, which will be voted on July 30.
