Rep. Hillary Scholten, a Democrat from Michigan, canceled a town hall event Monday after learning that her name was on the alleged target list of Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Boelter. “After being made aware that my name was on a list connected to the recent tragic shooting in Minnesota, my office has made the difficult decision to postpone our planned town hall in Muskegon,” Scholten said in a statement. “Out of an abundance of caution and to not divert additional law enforcement resources away from protecting the broader public at this time, this is the responsible choice,” she added, noting that the event would be rescheduled. Boelter, 57, is accused of killing Democratic Minnesota state Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, in their Brooklyn Park home on Saturday morning. Boelter is also believed to have injured state Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette. He was arrested late Sunday night near his farm in Green Isle, Minnesota, and is facing both federal and state charges, including stalking and first-degree murder. Officials have said that Boelter allegedly had firearms in his car, along with a list of names of 45 elected officials in his notebooks.
The White Lotus star Jason Isaacs is calling out “the worst bully ever,” who just so happens to be an A-list actor. In a new profile for Vulture, Isaacs was asked about a story he’s told in years past, about an actor who pushed him out of a shot on an unnamed project. “Oh Jesus,” Isaacs said, “Did worse than that. Was the worst bully ever and a global icon. Did all the old tricks of doing a completely different performance off-camera than on. Yeah, it sucked. I’d never seen anything like it. Before, I would’ve licked the ground that this person walked on.” Isaacs “mimed” the interaction to The Telegraph in 2011, but was first quoted about it in 2020, when he told Backstage, “One famous, late, knighted actor literally physically shoved me out of the shot with his elbows.” Isaacs has never named the actor in question, but said he has many such stories he could tell about various well-known people: “I know where all the bodies are buried. I often fantasize about doing a junket and telling the truth, and when I win the lottery, possibly that will be the case. But there is no value, other than masochism and sabotage, in telling people the truth about people I’ve worked with or experiences I’ve had. Acting is all about secrets.”

Southwest Airlines Adds Safety Tool to Avoid Runway Danger

Southwest Airlines has announced that it will be adding a cockpit-alert safety tool to almost all of its 800 aircraft. The Honeywell-designed “SmartRunway” and “SmartLanding” software warn pilots with audio and text alerts when a potential risk to the aircraft is detected during takeoff or landing, such as the pilot going too fast during landing, flying at the wrong altitude, or using the wrong runway. “It is a really powerful tool, we believe, to add more barriers to potentially bad outcomes,” Southwest’s chief operating officer, Andrew Watterson, toldThe Wall Street Journal. “Safety is at the heart of everything we do at Southwest,” he added in a Honeywell press release. According to the press release, Honeywell’s system is meant to help “break the chain of events that may lead to runway accidents” by “proactively” notifying pilots. This new safety tool comes amid a handful of crashes and close calls at airports, including a Southwest flight that almost took off from a taxiway rather than a runway at the Orlando International Airport in Florida in March. Airplane incidents “happen more than we want to think that they happen,” said Thea Feyereisen, senior aerospace engineer at Honeywell.
A veteran aviator says he’s spotted a crucial detail in footage of the Air India crash that could offer a clue to what caused the disaster, which killed 241 people on board and at least 29 on the ground. Pilot Steve Schreiber believes the Boeing 787 Dreamliner may have suffered a dual engine failure after he noticed the plane’s Ram Access Turbine (RAT) deploying shortly after takeoff. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Schreiber points to the moment the RAT appears as a “little gray dot” under the fuselage—just as the aircraft begins drifting towards the ground. He explained that the purpose of the RAT “is to provide electrical and hydraulic pressure for the aircraft in an extreme emergency,” such as in the event of a “massive electrical failure, massive hydraulic failure, or a dual engine failure.” While any one of those scenarios could trigger the RAT, Schreiber—who has 26 years of experience as a pilot, according to the New York Post—said, “the fact that the airplane is mushing out of the sky gives the idea it was a dual engine failure.” The final words of the doomed plane’s captain—“Mayday… no thrust, losing power, unable to lift”—also appear to suggest a serious issue with engine power.

World’s Most Popular Museum Shuts Down in Spontaneous Strike

Tourists hoping to visit the Louvre this morning were left frustrated when, without warning, the Paris museum remained shuttered well past its scheduled opening. As one American visitor told AP, the scene was a “Mona Lisa moan,” with “thousands of people waiting, no communication, no explanation.” Inside, a group of gallery attendants, security guards, and ticket takers had turned a monthly staff meeting into a spontaneous strike. The employees say they can no longer ignore the untenable toll that the museum’s 30,000 daily visitors take on its centuries-old infrastructure. According to a memo from museum President Laurence des Cars, the palace is plagued by leaks and fluctuating temperatures that endanger its artworks, and its outdated amenities can’t accommodate the constant overcrowding. In January, French President Emmanuel Macron announced a decade-long, €800 million renovation plan for the museum. Now, employees say the plan is too little, too late from a government that has decreased its subsidies for the museum by nearly a quarter in the last decade. But while the home of the Mona Lisa remains closed today, the strike has an end in sight. A representative from the staff union told AP the museum may reopen as early as Wednesday.
Joey Chestnut will participate in the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest on July 4th after a year away, the competitive eater announced Monday. Chestnut missed the 2024 edition after a disagreement with Major League Eating over his sponsorship with Impossible Foods, a maker of plant-based hot dogs. “While I have and continue to partner with a variety of companies, including some in the plant-based space, those relationships were never a conflict with my love for hot dogs,” the 16-time champion wrote on X. “To be clear: Nathan’s is the only hot dog company I’ve ever worked with. I respect that there were differences in interpretation, but I’m grateful we’ve been able to find common ground.” Chestnut, who won the Coney Island competition each year from 2007 to 2014 and from 2016 to 2023, set the record in 2021 by eating 76 hot dogs in ten minutes. The Nathan’s contest has been held annually since 1979; in July 2020, it was conducted at a different venue without a crowd and with only five contestants.

Captain James Cook’s long-lost ship was discovered 250 years later off the coast of Rhode Island. The Australian National Maritime Museum confirmed that the remains of a shipwreck in Newport Harbor, Rhode Island, that they had been trying to identify since 1999, match that of Cook’s lost ship, “HMS Endeavour.” “This Final Report is the culmination of 25 years of detailed and meticulous archaeological study on this important vessel,” said the museum’s director and CEO, Daryl Karp, about the project. Cook sailed around the globe in “Endeavour” in the 1700s before it was then sold and repurposed as a transport vessel during the American Revolutionary War, ultimately sinking in 1778. Researchers at the museum compared the wreckage to the ship’s historic plans, finding that certain parts of the vessel, from the placement of certain timbers to the size of the ship itself, were either “absolutely identical” or only a few “millimeters” off. James Hunter, an archaeologist at the museum, said that artifacts that would provide “immediate identification” had most likely already been removed from the ship, but that “what has been recovered up to this point is indicative of an 18th-century time frame.” Another archaeologist at the museum, Kieran Hosty, said that “so far we found lots of things that tick the box for it to be ‘Endeavour’ and nothing on the site which says it’s not.”
WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 10: 23andMe Founder and Board Member Anne Wojcicki appears during a House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on June 10, 2025 in Washington, DC. The hearing titled "Securing Americans' Genetic Information: Privacy and National Security Concerns Surrounding 23andMe's Bankruptcy Sale" comes after 27 states and the District of Columbia are suing to force customer consent before 23andMe sells any personal genetic data after the company entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

Former 23andMe CEO Anne Wojcicki is set to regain control of the genetic testing firm she led to bankruptcy after outbidding a pharmaceutical company at an auction. The sale came on Monday after a nonprofit headed by Wojcicki, TTAM Research Institute, bid $305 million for control of the company, topping a $256 million offer from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. Wojcicki had previously attempted to take 23andMe private on a number of occasions during her tenure as CEO but was repeatedly rejected by the board, eventually leading to the resignation of all independent directors. Once a pioneer in ancestry DNA testing, 23andMe filed for bankruptcy in March amid declining demand and fallout from a 2023 data breach that exposed sensitive genetic and personal data of millions. Approximately 15 percent of 23andMe customers have since closed their accounts and requested their DNA records be deleted, citing concerns about privacy protection after the company announced it was up for sale. While TTAM has so far pledged to uphold 23andMe’s privacy policies and comply with data protection laws, the sale has also drawn legal challenges, with New York and over two dozen states suing to block the potential transfer of customers’ private information. A court hearing to decide the future of the company is scheduled for June 17.

Oscar Winner Becomes First Movie Star to Meet with Pope Leo

Al Pacino met with Pope Leo XIV Monday, becoming the first movie star to have an audience with the new pope. A delegation from the film, Maserati: The Brothers, which Pacino is in, met with the pope at the Vatican Monday. “The meeting was a moment of profound spiritual and cultural inspiration, centered around shared values that lie at the heart of both the Catholic Church and the film: family unity, love, compassion and the importance of contributing to the common good,” said the film’s producer, Andrea Iervolino, in a statement. He added that “these values, which Pope Leo XIV has consistently emphasized, in his recent messages to the world, resonate deeply with the story of the Maserati brothers: a family whose legacy was built not only on innovation and excellence but on profound mutual respect, solidarity and a shared vision.” Iervolino also posted photos of the meeting on his Instagram Story, one photo showing the pope holding a model Maserati car in a glass case as The Godfather star looked on. The caption read: “Thank you @pontifex for your blessing! Al Pacino and I donated a scale model of a Maserati in honor of our film ‘Maserati: The Brothers.’”

An American man has been found alive after disappearing during a hiking trip in the Himalayas, his family announced Sunday, calling it a “HUGE miracle.” Samuel Vengrinovich, a California native living in Jaffa, Israel, set out with a group toward Mount Triund near Dharamshala, India, on June 6. Expecting a two-day hike, he never returned to his camp. His tent, most of his clothing, and phone were left behind. Over nine days, Indian authorities and a private rescue team scoured the region’s glacier terrain under worsening weather conditions. A GoFundMe campaign launched by his family in the United States sought funds for rescue efforts, medical care, and transportation . The rescue was confirmed with a photo of a gaunt and disheveled Vengrinovich. “He looks thin and disheveled, and he will require significant medical treatment and hospitalization for his injuries,” the family stated. His family continues to raise funds covering search-and-rescue costs, medical care, and a flight home. No detailed information has been released about his rescue location or health status. Government authorities halted the official search once private efforts confirmed his survival.
