      Sen. Bernie Sanders, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and several other U.S. lawmakers introduced a resolution on Thursday that formally commemorates the 50th anniversary of the deadly 1973 military coup in Chile and apologizes for the role the United States played in the toppling of the Latin American nation's democratically elected government.

      The resolution also calls for the declassification of all remaining U.S. documents related to the coup and the events preceding and following it.

      Sanders Sends Message to Big Three CEOs: 'Time for You to End Your Greed'

      Sen. Bernie Sanders used his remarks at a United Auto Workers rally in Detroit on Friday to send a message to the chief executives of the Big Three U.S. car manufacturers, which have thus far refused to meet the union's wage and benefit demands despite raking in huge profits over the past decade.
