Jan. 6 hearing: Trump ignored aides and evidence he lost election |
| The House Jan. 6 committee set out on Monday to prove that former President Donald Trump knew he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden but lied to the American people with wild election fraud claims against the advice of top aides. In a second public hearing of its findings, the committee released a mountain of interviews with former Trump officials and campaign aides – leaning particularly on videotaped depositions from former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr and campaign manager Bill Stepien – to meticulously debunk Trump's election fraud arguments. The hearing zeroed in on how Trump declared victory on election night as advisers urged him to wait. The committee said Trump leaned on the advice of former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani to claim he won, characterizing Giuliani as "inebriated" on election night, a claim supported by Trump adviser Jason Miller, who told the committee, "The mayor was definitely intoxicated."

South Carolina headlines primaries in four states |
| Voters in four primary states on Tuesday will weigh in on issues that will animate general elections across the country this fall, from abortion to former President Donald Trump's political power to battles for control of Congress. Most political eyes are on South Carolina, where incumbents Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C. and Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C. face challengers backed by the ex-president. Rice was one of ten House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for inciting the insurrection, while Mace opposed impeachment but has criticized Trump for his conduct. Voters in Nevada, meanwhile, will decide the nominees in a fall Senate race that could turn on the abortion issue – and decide control of the U.S. Senate. A Republican senator in North Dakota faces a primary challenge, while voters in Maine set up an interesting governor's race in the fall. Texas rounds out the day with a special congressional election in the southern part of the Lone Star State. Read more |

Under decades-old Hyde Amendment, millions of Americans already live in a 'post-Roe' world |
| The Hyde Amendment is a provision passed three years after the landmark Roe v. Wade decision that restricts federal spending on abortions. Because of Hyde, millions of people across the U.S. already live in a "post-Roe" world, out of reach of abortion care. Overturning Roe could make matters worse, experts say. By further amplifying long-standing inequities in reproductive care disproportionately faced by people of color, its reversal would put those who suffer greater maternal health risks in further peril. And so far, efforts to repeal the provision haven't been successful. Hyde has been renewed in federal budgets every year since it passed in 1976. Read more |

US Open gets underway amid major drama |
| The 2022 U.S. Open Championship at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, happens to be one of the toughest tests in golf. But this year the tournament is about more than just the game. Phil Mickelson arrived in Brookline, Massachusetts, from London where he was among a dozen players at the U.S. Open who took part in the Saudi-funded debut of the LIV Golf Invitational. Half of those players were PGA Tour members a few weeks ago. Mickelson still is, choosing not to resign his membership despite criticism for taking payment from an organization funded by a government shrouded in human rights allegations. The topic is unavoidable and threatens to overshadow the second-oldest championship in golf. Read more |

A strawberry supermoon will illuminate the skies Tuesday |
| June's strawberry moon will appear opposite the sun and reach its peak illumination at 7:52 a.m. ET Tuesday, and it will remain full through Wednesday morning, NASA reported. But the unique moon won't be visible to stargazers in North America until later Tuesday night when it drifts above the horizon, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. Supermoons happen when the moon's orbit is closest to Earth, giving off the appearance of a larger and brighter full moon, the Old Farmer's Almanac said. June's full moon has traditionally been nicknamed the strawberry moon because the Native American Algonquin tribes inhabiting the northeastern U.S. used the strawberry moon to mark the time for gathering ripened June-bearing strawberries, the Almanac said. For all the early risers looking to catch a glimpse of the strawberry moon, Tuesday also will feature 2022's earliest sunrise at 5:42 a.m. EDT, according to NASA. Read more |

| All the entrances to Yellowstone National Park were temporarily closed Monday due to substantial flooding, rockslides and mudslides on roadways from recent unprecedented rainfall and flooding, park officials said. Just as the summer vacation season gets underway, parts of roads were washed out, flooding swept away at least one bridge and tourists were trapped by flushed highways. Visitors in the northern part of the park were being evacuated due to "extremely hazardous conditions" following "unprecedented" rainfall, according to a news release. Read more |
