🏛 Jan. 6 panelists: Enough evidence uncovered to indict Trump
Members of the House committee investigating the Capitol riot said Sunday they have uncovered enough evidence for the Justice Department to consider an unprecedented criminal indictment against former President Donald Trump for seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The committee announced that Trump's campaign manager, Bill Stepien, is among the witnesses scheduled to testify at a hearing Monday that focuses on Trump's effort to spread his lies about a stolen election.
Monday's witness list also includes BJay Pak, the top federal prosecutor in Atlanta who left his position on Jan 4, 2021, a day after an audio recording was made public in which Trump called him a "never-Trumper," and Chris Stirewalt, the former political editor for Fox News.

🔥 Tundra fire slows, but still aiming at Alaska Native village
A large fire burning in the tundra of southwest Alaska continued to move toward an Alaska Native village on Saturday, but fire managers said its pace had slowed. Tundra is a treeless area covered with low-lying plants, and the fire was being fed by extremely dry grass and brush filled with alders and willow.
There are no mandatory evacuation orders, but about 700 residents of St. Mary’s and the nearby community of Pitkas Point were told to prepare in case they needed to leave.
Boats have been used to shuttle firefighters to protect structures upriver of St. Mary’s. Crews also have also been working to protect Alaska Native properties.

Astra rocket fails and two NASA satellites are lost
California-based Astra on Sunday launched two shoebox-size NASA satellites from Cape Canaveral in a modest mission to improve hurricane forecasts, but the second stage of the company's low-cost booster malfunctioned before reaching orbit and the payloads were lost.
NASA is paying $8 million for three Astra launches and about $32 million for development and testing of the cubesats and one year of data analysis.
The goal of NASA's TROPICS mission is to monitor tropical storm development in near real-time by flying over hurricanes and other major systems every 45 to 50 minutes and beaming back temperature profiles, precipitation, water vapor and cloud ice data.

🎞 Squid Game season two is finally, officially announced for Netflix
The Korean series became Netflix’s biggest series ever at launch. According to a message from director Hwang Dong-hyuk, the second season will see the return of Gi-hun and the mysterious Front Man. Squid Game is coming out by the end of 2023 or 2024, and will feature more diabolical games.
While Squid Game has been a massive worldwide hit, in April Netflix reported its first drop in subscribers in 10 years. That was quickly followed by layoffs and a reported tightening of production budgets practically across the board. Netflix is also focused on limiting password sharing, and has told employees it will launch ad-supported streaming by the end of this year.

☀️ Phoenix, Vegas & Denver post record temps amid Southwest heat wave
Phoenix, Las Vegas, Denver and California’s Death Valley all posted record temperatures on Saturday, as a dangerous heat wave swept across the American Southwest. The National Weather Service in Phoenix reported a temperature of 114 degrees Fahrenheit (46 degrees Celsius), tying the record high for the date set back in 1918.
Las Vegas tied a record for the day set in 1956, with temperatures soaring to 109 F (43 C). The National Weather Service said there was a chance the high temperatures in both cities could rise even higher.
Excessive heat causes more deaths in the US than other weather-related disasters, including hurricanes, floods and tornadoes combined. Scientists say more frequent and intense heat waves are likely in the future because of climate change and a deepening drought.

🍔 McDonald's reopens in Russia under new name
The chain is now called "Vkusno i Tochka," which translates to "Tasty. Period." The chain no longer sells Big Macs, but the rest of the menu is nearly identical to the previous offerings. Chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers and sundaes are all still available, with similar packaging to McDonald's, at slightly lower prices.
The fast-food chain is set to open 15 other rebranded stores on Sunday in Moscow. The company plans to reopen another 200 stores by the end of June and expand from 850 outlets over the next several years. The company is looking to spend about $12.1 million to develop the network by year-end.

📸 New York Times obtains never-before-seen photos of early days at Guantanamo Bay
For 20 years, the US military has tightly controlled what the world can see of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay. These are images taken by military photographers who witnessed operations after the US invasion of Afghanistan and four months after the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
About 780 men and boys were brought to Gitmo under then-President George W. Bush, who referred to prisoners as 'the worst of the worst.' Only 35 men remain at the prison, with 10 of them waiting for trials to begin.
Former President Barack Obama was stopped from closing Guantanamo, but recent administrations have slowly lowered the amount of people still detained. Some 17 Guantanamo inmates who remain are deemed 'high-value' and will probably never be released.
