Steve Bannon to report to prison after Supreme Court denies his request to delay sentencing
The U.S. Supreme Court Friday denied ex-Trump adviser Steve Bannon's request to remain out of jail while he continues to appeal his contempt of Congress conviction. Bannon earlier this month was ordered by U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols to report to prison by July 1 to begin serving his four-month sentence. Bannon was sentenced to four months in October 2022 after he was found guilty of defying a subpoena from the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. After Bannon was sentenced, Nichols agreed to postpone the jail term while Bannon appealed the conviction.
Biden-Trump debate triggers alarm among top business leaders: 'Awful'
Some of the nation's top business and labor leaders voiced alarm in the hours following the presidential debate on Thursday night, as some raised concern about President Joe Biden's age and others questioned former President Donald Trump's fitness for office. Prominent figures who already held misgivings about Biden seized on his debate performance and doubt whether Biden can handle the demands of a second term. Even allies of Biden stopped short of praising his performance, including some who entertained the possibility of replacing Biden at the top of the Democratic ticket. Some leaders of companies and labor unions, on the other hand, sharply criticized a dearth of policy and a stream of falsehoods issued by Trump during the 90-minute event. Among them, some reaffirmed their support for Biden. Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, who attended a Biden fundraiser in March, said in a statement on X that both candidates performed poorly. The display elicited enough worry about Biden that Cuban is now open to a discussion about him stepping aside, Cuban added, noting that he would vote for Biden if he remains the nominee.
More than 80 dolphins stranded in 'difficult' location on Massachusetts beach, animal welfare group says
More than 80 dolphins are currently stranded on a beach near Wellfleet, Massachusetts, according to the International Fund for Animal Welfare. The Atlantic whitesided dolphins are at the Great Island at the Herring River -- also known at the "Gut" -- which is a very difficult location to access and is covered in "dangerous mud," Stacey Hedman, director of communications for the IFAW, said in a statement on Friday. Low tide occurred at 11:23 a.m., Hedman said. Given the large number of distressed dolphins, the plan is to triage and support the animals before attempting to refloat and herd as many as possible. Aerial footage taken by ABC Boston affiliate WCVB showed dozens of immobile dolphins lying on the coast on Friday afternoon, many of them covered in towels.

Shark attacks man in Florida
A man was fishing in Florida when a shark bit him, severely injuring his arm, officials said. The man, who is in his 40s, was on a boat at the time of the attack, which unfolded around 11 a.m. Friday at West Rock near the port of Fernandina, which is north of Jacksonville near the Florida-Georgia border, Nassau County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Alicia Tarancon said. A responding deputy boarded the man's boat and applied a tourniquet to his right arm to slow the bleeding, Tarancon said. The deputy then drove the boat to shore, where rescue crews were waiting, Tarancon said.
'Inhumane': Homelessness advocates slam Supreme Court decision upholding ban on sleeping outside
Homelessness advocates are condemning the Supreme Court's ruling that an Oregon city's ordinance to bar anyone without a permanent residency from sleeping outside does not amount to "cruel and unusual" punishment under the Eighth Amendment. In 2013, the Grants Pass city council attempted to ban anyone "from using a blanket, pillow or cardboard box for protection from the elements" while sleeping outside, threatening violators with citations and tickets. Lower courts initially found that this was "cruel and unusual punishment" under the Eighth Amendment. The case, City of Grants Pass, Oregon v. Johnson, has major implications for the rising population of unhoused Americans and the disciplinary actions they face in public spaces, advocates say. Across the country, homelessness has been on the rise since 2016.
