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.

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.

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.

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. This is California we're talking about, with lax voter ID rules so weak you can literally use a gym membership to vote. And let's not forget those last-minute mail-in ballots that magically show up and can't be counted until after Election Day. Even President Trump is calling California out for rigging elections.

Two more cases of the New World screwworm have been confirmed in Texas, demonstrating the difficulty of stopping the spread of a pest that potentially could devastate the nation’s cattle industry. The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced Monday the new cases were found in a calf and a dog, hundreds of miles apart. The screwworm is actually a fly, which produces a larva that eats live flesh instead of dead material. Females lay their eggs in open wounds any any warm-blooded animal such as cattle, but wildlife, pets and occasionally even humans can be infested. Before it was irradicated in the 1960s, the fly was an annual warm-weather scourge of cattle ranchers.

DUBAI/JERUSALEM, June 8 (Reuters) - Iran's military announced on Monday that its first wave of attacks on Israel since a ceasefire in April was now over, although it threatened to resume the strikes if Israel continued attacks on Lebanon. There was no immediate response from Israel, which had launched attacks on Iran after Tehran fired missiles towards Israel late on Sunday. Iran had said its strikes were in retaliation for Israeli strikes on the outskirts of Beirut. Earlier, U.S. President Donald Trump demanded that Israel and Iran "immediately stop 'shooting'". The flurry of attacks drove oil prices up around 4% and threatened to wreck U.S.-led efforts to broker a deal to end the war. Israel hit a petrochemical plant in southwestern Iran that it said was used to produce ballistic missiles. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it retaliated with a strike aimed at a similar Israeli plant in the city of Haifa. The first direct exchange between Israel and Iran since April could interfere with Trump's efforts to end the war he launched alongside Israel at the end of February. Iran's military headquarters said it had "delivered a painful response" against Israel for its attacks on Lebanon, including Sunday's strikes on the outskirts of Beirut. "Accordingly, the operations of the armed forces are hereby declared halted; however, it is emphasized that if the aggressions and acts of mischief continue — including in southern Lebanon — much more severe and crushing actions than before will follow." In one of several posts on social media, Trump said Israel and Iran both wanted "an immediate CEASEFIRE! Final negotiations on 'Peace' are proceeding, subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way." He added that a U.S. blockade of Iranian ports would remain in place till a final deal was reached. An Israeli official said Trump had spoken on Monday to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Earlier on Monday an Israeli military official said Israel was prepared for a range of options for military strikes against Iran, from several days to "as long as it takes". Israel had struck Iranian air defense systems that were being rebuilt after previous Israeli attacks, as well as the petrochemical plant. In a similarly defiant vein, an Iranian military source quoted by the Tasnim news agency had said Tehran was prepared for a prolonged conflict with Israel and for renewed strikes against U.S. interests in the region. 'EXTREME SUSPICION' Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said Tehran was exchanging messages with Washington in an atmosphere of "extreme suspicion". Israel's actions in Lebanon, whether carried out with U.S. knowledge and consent or not, were aimed at sabotaging diplomacy, he added. "The United States bears direct responsibility for any action the Zionist regime (Israel) takes in relation to violating regional peace and security against Iran," he said. Iranian media reported the sound of explosions in Tehran on Monday, and the semi-official Mehr news agency said air defenses had shot down a drone over the capital. There were no immediate reports of casualties or damage. Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthis pledged in a statement to stop Israel's maritime navigation in the Red Sea, and said they had also fired missiles at Israel. The Houthis have so far largely stayed out of the regional war; they control territory at the mouth of the Red Sea, increasingly important as the alternative route for millions of barrels per day of Middle East oil otherwise blocked by Iran's grip on the Strait of Hormuz. The Israeli military official said Iran had fired "close to 30 ballistic missiles" at Israel since Sunday evening, and the Houthis a further two missiles. Israel said it struck targets at the Mahshahr petrochemical complex that were used to produce and export raw materials for Iran's missile program. A provincial official told Iranian media parts of the plant were damaged.

Students in grades three through 12 from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories were invited to submit essays and artwork answering the question, “What does America mean to you?” The contest is designed to encourage young people to explore the nation’s history, culture, and future while sharing their own unique perspectives. Among the standout entries is artwork by Cheyenne P., an 11th-grade student from Kentucky. Her piece features a map of the United States filled with symbols, landmarks, and imagery representing the distinct history, culture, and identity of each state. Another winning submission came from Jason, a fourth-grade student from Arizona. His colorful artwork highlights some of the most recognizable moments in American history, including the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the moon landing, and the White House, bringing together key moments that have shaped the nation. Of the 250 students recognized this year, 125 first-place winners will receive expense-paid field trips to some of the nation's most significant destinations, including national parks, museums, historic sites, and space exploration centers. The remaining 125 second-place winners will receive special recognition packages honoring their achievements.
