Philippines Quake Displaces 32,000 People

The death toll from the powerful earthquake that struck the southern Philippines has climbed to at least 37 as rescue crews continue searching damaged buildings for survivors. Officials say more than 32,000 people have been displaced following the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that rocked the Mindanao region on Monday. Thousands of residents fled their homes and are now staying in emergency shelters as authorities assess the full extent of the damage. The earthquake, which was centered offshore near Mindanao, caused widespread destruction across several provinces. Buildings collapsed, roads were damaged, and critical infrastructure was impacted throughout the region. Emergency responders have been working around the clock to search heavily damaged structures and ensure no survivors remain trapped beneath the rubble. While only a handful of people are officially listed as missing, authorities say inspections of collapsed buildings are ongoing. The quake is among the strongest to hit the Philippines in decades and serves as a reminder of the country's vulnerability to major seismic events due to its location along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Officials warn the number of casualties could rise as recovery and search operations continue.

Second Detainee Dies At Louisiana ICE Facility

A second detainee has died this year at a Louisiana immigration detention center that has recently come under federal scrutiny over conditions inside the facility. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement announced that 43-year-old Mamuka Artmeladze, a native of Georgia, was found unresponsive on June 4 at the Winn Correctional Center in Winnfield, Louisiana. Officials said staff immediately began lifesaving measures before Artmeladze was transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The cause of death has not yet been determined and remains pending an autopsy. Artmeladze had been held at the facility for nearly four months. According to ICE, he entered the United States illegally on an unknown date and was later arrested in Alabama after authorities determined he no longer had lawful status to remain in the country. His death marks the second detainee death reported at the Winn facility since April and the 19th death in ICE custody nationwide this year. The incident comes just days after a report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General identified several concerns at the detention center. The report cited issues involving medical documentation, sanitation, food storage, environmental health and safety, and use-of-force procedures. Federal inspectors also documented several policy violations and made recommendations aimed at improving conditions at the facility. ICE officials said they agreed with the recommendations and have already begun implementing corrective measures. The investigation into Artmeladze's death remains ongoing.

Nithya Raman Advances To November L.A. Mayor Runoff

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Progressive city council member Nithya Raman has advanced to a November runoff against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, setting up an unexpected matchup between two Democrats and former political allies to run the struggling city of nearly 4 million.

Raman made a last-minute entry into the race, after she had endorsed Bass for reelection. The race also has historical markers. Bass is the first Black woman to hold the post, and Raman could be the first South Asian woman in the job.

California Election Fraud

What Damage was Caused?

Vance Adds Chicken Coop, Chicks To VP's Residence

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President JD Vance has added a chicken coop, along with a dozen baby chicks, to his residence at the U.S. Naval Observatory. The new coop is designed to look like the Victorian home where the second family lives. It features a round turret and a faux slate roof. It was donated by the company Carolina Coops, which has drawn a social media following for its stylish coops. Company President Matthew DuBoise said it was an honor to be chosen for the project. Vice presidents since 1977 have lived on the grounds of the Naval Observatory, and many have left their own imprint on the property.

Trump Attending NBA Finals Game

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is set to be the first sitting U.S. president to attend an NBA Finals game. Trump is expected to be at Madison Square Garden on Monday night for Game 3 between the New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs. Trump's appearance led the New York Police Department and Secret Service to cancel a watch party outside and institute a no-bag policy for ticket holders. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is also expected to be there. The Knicks are in the finals for the first time since 1999, lead the series two games to none and are two wins from their first championship since 1973.

Platner Denies Allegations About His Past

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — Graham Platner has been met by an enthusiastic and supportive crowd at a town hall-style event in Maine. The Democrat is looking to advance his Senate campaign after reports about his past treatment of women just days before the state’s crucial primary. The Democratic primary is still seen as Platner’s to win, but he is facing questions about his past that could make it difficult to defeat longtime incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. The New York Times reported an ex-girlfriend’s allegations that Platner was rough with her during arguments and once twisted her arm behind her back and locked her in a room. Platner denies those allegations. He spoke to about 400 cheering supporters in Portland on Sunday night.

M and M Extra: Ballot Bamboozle

t makes absolutely no sense for Spencer Pratt the immensely popular, independent candida to somehow fall behind in the L.A. mayoral race and get beat by an unknown like Nithya Raman/ Well, maybe we shouldn't be surprised.
