The Short List

The Los Angeles mayor wants to restore calm to the city after tense protests. One corner of the country is bracing for extreme heat. And your water may be contaminated with chemicals linked to cancer.

👋 How's it going? Rebecca Morin here. It feels like a good day to bring you Tuesday's news.

But first: A beautiful strawberry … 🍓 … moon that is. A rare "strawberry moon" will dazzle skies this week. Here's when to see it at its peak.

Possible curfews in LA

After days of isolated protests in parts of Los Angeles that at times were marred by violent clashes and vandalism, a large cleanup has begun. Meanwhile, California's leaders, including Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, are clashing with the Trump administration after President Donald Trump's move to deploy Marines and the National Guard in California. A rally is planned in Los Angeles on Tuesday, but it is not expected to be as large as the protests from the past few days, said Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. She told reporters she is considering a curfew to restore calm to the city, but a curfew would be limited to the downtown area and not all of Los Angeles. 👉 Follow the latest updates from the LA protests.

The price tag of troops: The Pentagon is spending $134 million to deploy 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to respond to the protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles, Defense Department officials said. Bryn MacDonnell, a special assistant to the secretary of defense, said the cost for the 60-day deployment for travel, housing and food is coming out of operations and maintenance accounts. 👉 Why the Pentagon deployed troops.

Summer hits with force in PNW

It's about to feel like an oven in the Pacific Northwest. Potential record-breaking temperatures from a heat dome are hitting the region, where temperatures Tuesday could soar into the high 90s and low 100s in Washington, Oregon and parts of Idaho, according to the National Weather Service. Along with the risk of heat illness, the stifling temperatures are coinciding with low humidity and wind gusts up to 30 mph, triggering red flag warnings as any wildland fires that ignite could spread quickly. While that region faces extreme heat, Southern states were bracing for heavy rain. Storms are expected to drench already rain-soaked regions from New Mexico and Texas to parts of Northern Florida and Georgia. ☀️ What the forecast says.

What's in your drinking water?

Maybe the girl in the movie "Signs" was right: The water's contaminated. Water pouring from the faucets of at least 42 million Americans has unacceptable levels of "forever chemicals," a USA TODAY analysis showed. The analysis of Environmental Protection Agency test results of about 6,900 drinking water systems shows nearly a quarter of large water utilities serving at least 100,000 customers exceeded limits the EPA approved last year on two chemicals engineered to be nearly indestructible. Studies have shown those chemicals can accumulate over time in human bodies, leading to certain cancers and other health complications. 🫗 See which water systems have "forever chemicals."

Diddy trial continues

Mistrial denied. Sean "Diddy" Combs' attorneys were once again denied after pushing for a mistrial in his sex crimes case. Judge Arun Subramanian said Tuesday that the defense's arguments for a mistrial were not convincing, and the points they made were simply the "adversarial process at work." The request for a mistrial centered on testimony from Bryana "Bana" Bongolan, a friend of Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura Fine. Bongolan testified about an incident when Combs allegedly injured her while holding her up on a balcony in Ventura Fine's Los Angeles apartment in September 2016. Combs' attorneys maintained the incident could not have happened because Combs was on the East Coast at the time. 👉 Why the judge denied the mistrial request.
