RIP ADAM WEST. TV’s original Batman has gone to Bat heaven. “He was 88. A rep said that he died after a short battle with leukemia.”
TRAVEL BAN. 9th Circuit rules against Trump’s revised travel ban. “We conclude that the President, in issuing the Executive Order, exceeded the scope of the authority delegated to him by Congress.”
ANNIVERSARY. Trump remembers Pulse nightclub victims.

NEWT GINGRICH. Let’s shut down special counsel in Russia probe, Robert Mueller. “I think Congress should now intervene and they should abolish the independent counsel, because Comey makes so clear that it’s the poison fruit of a deliberate manipulation by the FBI director leaking to the New York Times, deliberately set up this particular situation. It’s very sick.”
MEGYN KELLY. NBC News anchor under fire for Alex Jones interview: “Kelly was criticized on social media for what some saw as an attempt to normalize Jones and his outlandish and untrue claims. She defended herself by saying President Donald Trump had praised Jones and appeared on his show. She also noted that Jones’ InfoWars was given credibility when the site received White House press credentials.”

KATHY GRIFFIN. Anderson Cooper weighs in again: “I had nothing to do with it, but I certainly understand why they made that decision. And look, I wish her well and I hope she bounces back and keeps doing what she does best, which is make people laugh.”

A year after Pulse, LGBTQ people and their allies remember lives lost
A year after Pulse, LGBTQ people and their allies remember lives lost

A year ago today, Pulse Nightclub in Orlando, FL was hosting a Latin Night for LGBTQ Latinx folks as one of its many celebrations scheduled for Pride Month. 49 queer people with lives and loves, family and friends, partners and passions were killed that night. 49 queer people and allies who we will spend the rest of our lives remembering.
Queer and allied celebrities, politicians, and advocates took to Twitter this morning to urge followers to remember alongside us, sharing personal words of sorrow and healing alongside photographs of all the lives we lost on June 12th, 2016.

We will never forget the 49 LGBTQ people who died at Pulse. We will never stop fighting for those who did not have a chance to. It is fruitless to ask us to stop crying over Pulse. We will be shedding tears of resilience, resistance, and most importantly, love, until the day we die.

Trump Businesses Violate U.S. Constitution, According to Lawsuit Filed by Attorneys General
Trump Businesses Violate U.S. Constitution, According to Lawsuit Filed by Attorneys General
Donald Trump’s businesses violate the U.S. Constitution, according to a lawsuit filed by the attorneys general of the District of Columbia and Maryland. The suit seeks an order stopping Trump from receiving government payments beyond his salary, Reuters reports:
Trump’s ownership in hundreds of businesses not only financially hurts Maryland and D.C. but also violates “emoluments” clauses in the Constitution that bar the president from accepting gifts from foreign governments without congressional approval as well as from domestic governments under any circumstances, according to the attorneys’ general complaint.
While Trump turned over management of the umbrella Trump Organization in January to a trust controlled by his two elder sons, he still owns his businesses, including the Trump International Hotel in Washington, and can draw revenue from them at any time.
Maryland and D.C. are presented with an “intolerable dilemma” when Trump asks them to grant his businesses land-use permissions or favors, the attorneys general allege.
Neither the DOJ or the White House has commented on the lawsuit.
