Daily Briefing: California governor to sue Trump

Good morning!🙋🏼‍♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. Have you seen this zebra?

• Tensions escalated in Los Angeles late Sunday between law enforcement and protesters as California National Guard troops arrived in Southern California.
• Our group chat is dishing on the biggest moments from last night's Tony Awards.

Newsom to sue over National Guard deployment

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he plans to file a lawsuit Monday against the Trump administration over the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles.

The background: President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 Guard members to quell demonstrations against his immigration crackdown, a move that the state's Democratic governor has called unlawful.

• LA protests escalated over three days. Immigration raids in Los Angeles on the afternoon of June 6 sparked a small protest. The next day, larger protests began south of Los Angeles, but by the evening, protesters and officers were clashing.
• Then, the president called in the national guard. Trump's memo June 7 invoked a section of federal code authorizing the president to call the guard into service.
• Now, Newsom is suing. The governor said the decision was a "serious breach of state sovereignty" and demanded that the president "return control" to California.

Oh, Cole!

Cole Escola, the creator behind "Oh, Mary!", won best leading actor in a play Sunday night at the Tony Awards for their inspired turn as first lady Mary Todd Lincoln. Written by Escola, "Oh, Mary!" imagines Mary Todd Lincoln as an alcoholic, wannabe cabaret star and her husband, Abraham (Conrad Ricamora), as a closeted, temperamental commander-in-chief. Channeling Bernadette Peters in an off-the-shoulder Wiederhoeft gown, Escola feverishly sprinted to the stage, where they thanked fellow best actor nominees, including George Clooney and Daniel Dae Kim. They’re now the first nonbinary performer to win in that Tony category.

Maybe hold the cucumbers

A recall across the country of cucumbers for a salmonella risk has expanded. Since the initial May 19 announcement, subsequent recalls have been announced by grocers such as Harris Teeter, Kroger and Walmart for repackaged cucumbers that resale under different brand names or those used in ready-to-eat products, including vegetable trays and salads. From salsa to slices, here is the list of cucumber products recalled due to a possible salmonella risk.

What parts of a wedding budget are tariffs affecting? 

Brides, grooms and wedding vendors are in similar boats as prices for imported goods and tariffs add more costs to an already expensive life event. Many different aspects of the wedding day will be affected by tariffs, including alcohol, flowers, the wedding dress and goods such as centerpiece decorations if they are imported, according to The Knot, a wedding website. In a survey of 741 engaged brides and grooms users of The Knot, shared exclusively with Paste BN, 73% of couples said keeping costs within their budget were the top concern. But rather than cutting back, many couples responded to the concerns of looming tariffs by taking the proactive steps like booking early and consulting pros.

NCAA settlement means a new era for college sports

After nearly five years of litigation, a federal judge on June 6 granted final approval to a settlement of three athlete-compensation antitrust cases against the NCAA and the Power Five conferences that is now set to fundamentally change college sports. Unless altered on appeal, the arrangement will allow — though not require — schools to directly pay their athletes for the use of their name, image and likeness (don’t call it pay for play), subject to an annual cap based on a percentage of a defined set of Power Five athletics department revenues. These payments could begin July 1. But there’s a lot left for the schools and the athletes to be sorted out.

Photo of the day: Was that the best tennis match ever?

Sunday’s French Open men's final – a 5-hour, 29-minute epic – ended with Carlos Alcaraz holding up the trophy for a second consecutive year. Alcaraz, 22, made an improbable comeback to beat Jannik Sinner 4-6, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4, 7-6 (7-3), 7-6 (10-2). The win was Alcaraz's fifth Grand Slam title.
