America has a 'gruesome' history of lynching, but it's not a federal crime. |
| The House just voted to change that. The House overwhelmingly passed legislation Wednesday that would make lynching a federal crime , a move supporters say is long overdue in a country whose history is stained with the atrocities. "I cannot imagine our nation did not have any federal law against lynching when so many African Americans have been lynched,'' said Rep. Bobby Rush, a lead sponsor of the bill. The Emmett Till Antilynching Act is named in memory of a black teenager who was murdered in Mississippi in 1955. Supporters hope to have it signed into law by the end of February in honor of Black History Month. |

Listen: He's just 'Harry' now |
| Prince Harry – uh, I mean Harry – returned to the U.K. as his time as a senior member of the royal family comes to an end. (Remember, he and wife Duchess Meghan "quit" being royals in January .) Though Harry and Meghan aren't formally stepping down from being working royals until late March, he's already showing signs of change. When being introducing at an event in Scotland on Wednesday, the conference host said he "made it clear" that we are all just to call him Harry. How does the Queen feel about all of this? The couple's departure is a wrench for the royal family, and Queen Elizabeth II has said she wished they had wanted to remain full-time royals. |

Sanders got the frontrunner treatment |
| Sen. Bernie Sanders largely dodged criticism in last week's debate. But the Democratic front-runner wasn't so lucky at Tuesday's Democratic debate in South Carolina. "I'm hearing my name mentioned a little bit tonight," Sanders said. "I wonder why?" Meanwhile, Former New York City Mike Bloomberg was on damage control: Warren brought up a claim from a 1990s lawsuit that accuses Bloomberg of telling a pregnant employee to "kill it." Bloomberg exclaimed: "I never said that!" Who lost the debate? The moderators, according to Twitter, who had a hard time wrangling the presidential hopefuls. But honestly, who wouldn't? |

'Help end part of this nightmare' |
| The grandfather of a 1-year-old who died after falling from an 11th-floor window of a Royal Caribbean cruise ship in Puerto Rico last year will plead guilty in her death .

"I took a plea deal today to try to help end part of this nightmare for my family, if possible," Anello said. |
