Fashion icon Gloria Vanderbilt has died |
| Gloria Vanderbilt, the last of a Gilded Age clan of millionaires, an early inventor of designer jeans and the mother of CNN's Anderson Cooper, died. She was 95, Cooper confirmed in an on-air, first-person obituary Monday. She suffered from advanced stomach cancer. "Gloria Vanderbilt was an extraordinary woman, who loved life and lived it on her own terms," Cooper said in a statement. She was, occasionally at the same time, an artist, author, actress, fashion model, designer, creative force, philanthropist and socialite. |

Would you give police access to your doorbell camera |
| Want a discount on a doorbell camera such as Ring? Some police departments will give you one, but only if you offer your footage in exchange. Police departments across the country are turning to homeowners to establish a network of cameras throughout their communities to help catch criminals. Access to doorbell cameras could help police identify people or vehicles involved in crimes or capture the path of people leaving a crime scene. Cities in Iowa, Texas, New York and Virginia, among others, have established such programs. |
Supreme Court may have weakened Trump's pardon power |
| A Supreme Court ruling could have major implications for prosecutions related to the Russian election meddling scandal. The court upheld Monday the ability of federal and state governments to prosecute defendants twice for the same crime – a form of double jeopardy that could come into play if President Donald Trump wants to pardon former associates ensnared in the fallout from Robert Mueller's report. For example, if Trump were to pardon his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, he still could face state prosecutions for the same crimes under the court's precedents. |
| More big Supreme Court news: The justices declined to hear another case involving a baker refusing on religious grounds to design a cake for a same-sex wedding and ruled against Virginia Republicans defending the use of election maps drawn with a racial and partisan slant. |

Apollo 11 astronaut reveals a newfound photo of the crew |
| Almost 50 years after a human first walked on the moon, astronaut Michael Collins just dropped what he called a previously unreleased photo of the crew: It shows Collins standing against a moon replica with astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong at his side. Collins, 88, was part of the three-man Apollo 11 crew, which made the first manned lunar landing in July 1969. While Armstrong and Aldrin landed and walked on the moon's surface, Collins stayed in lunar orbit. |

You like strawberries? Moons, too? You're in for a treat |
| Look up from your phones for a few minutes tonight to see the Strawberry Moon: the most colorful moon of the year. Although the moon was officially full this morning, it'll still look plenty big when it rises tonight. Why is it called a 🍓🌕? June's full moon signaled to some Native American tribes that it was the time of year to gather ripening wild strawberries. |
People aren't standing beside 'God Bless America' singer |
| It's on the Mount Rushmore of patriotic songs and was a staple of sporting events, but people are rethinking Kate Smith and her popular rendition of "God Bless America" after people discovered that she performed songs with racist lyrics in the early 1930s. The cringe-inducing song titles and its lyrics – "That's Why Darkies Were Born" and "Pickaninnies' Heaven" – led many to claim Smith's actions were evidence of overt racism. The New York Yankees and Philadelphia Flyers distanced themselves in April, and the Flyers even removed a statue of Smith that was in front of their arena. |
