Previously-Woke Companies Retreat From Pride Month During Trump 2.0

 

Many major companies are scaling back their Pride Month messaging and sponsorships this year. Retailers like Target have removed Pride merchandise from stores, replacing it with patriotic-themed apparel, following consumer concerns and political criticism. Anheuser-Busch withdrew funding from Pride St. Louis, leaving organizers with a significant shortfall. Other corporations, including Mastercard, PepsiCo, Nissan, and Citi, have significantly reduced or eliminated their sponsorship of New York City's Pride March.

 

The trend appears to be driven by political pressure, particularly from former President Donald Trump's administration, which has cracked down on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Around 40% of corporate sponsors have either reduced or completely pulled out of Pride-related events. Despite this, some companies continue to support smaller Pride celebrations, and organizers are seeking alternative funding sources to keep events running.

Alaska Natives Cheer as Trump Admin Axes Biden-Era Oil Drilling Restrictions

 

The Trump administration has repealed Biden-era restrictions on oil drilling in Alaska's National Petroleum Reserve, opening up 13 million acres for potential development. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced the policy shift during a town hall in Utqiagvik, Alaska, as part of a broader push to expand energy production in the region.

 

Previously, the Biden administration had designated these areas as "special," limiting future oil and gas leasing to protect wildlife and Indigenous communities. Trump officials argue that the rollback will restore balance and enhance U.S. energy independence. The decision has sparked debate, with environmentalists opposing the move while some Alaska Native leaders support increased drilling.

Northern Lights visible in 15 states tonight

 

The northern lights are expected to be visible across 15 U.S. states on Monday, June 2, due to a recent solar flare that triggered a geomagnetic storm. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts the aurora borealis will reach a Kp index of five, meaning increased activity and vibrant displays.

 

The best viewing times are just after sunset and right before sunrise, with Alaska and Canada offering the highest chances of visibility. Some locations farther south, including New York, may also catch a glimpse. NOAA forecasts that auroral activity could continue throughout the week, though the first half is expected to be the strongest.

 

For optimal viewing, skywatchers should find dark locations away from city lights and check local weather conditions.

Sean Gallagher named interim Capitol Police chief

 

He’s taking over from Chief Thomas Manger, who helmed the department for about four years following the Jan. 6 insurrection.

 

The U.S. Capitol Police will be led by Assistant Chief Sean Gallagher on acting basis while a search continues for a new permanent leader, the department confirmed Monday.

 

Gallagher’s appointment by the Capitol Police Board comes after Chief Thomas Manger retired last month after about four years on the job. Gallagher is seen by some in the department as a strong contender for the permanent position after having held a variety of roles within the department over the past two decades.

 

Gallagher, who oversees uniformed operations as one of three assistant chiefs, has been with the department since 2001. He has previously served as the assistant commander of the Investigations Division and as the assistant commander of the Dignitary Protection Division and the Capitol Division.

 

Capitol Police employees and even some on Capitol Hill with oversight responsibilities over the department were unclear Monday morning who Manger’s temporary successor was, stoking some confusion about who was at the helm of the department. Two people granted anonymity described the decision to POLITICO before the department confirmed the appointment.

 

The job of choosing Manger’s long term replacement will fall to the Capitol Police Board, composed of House Sergeant-at-Arms William McFarland, Senate Sergeant-at-Arms Jennifer Hemingway and Architect of the Capitol Thomas Austin. All three came to their positions during Manger’s tenure, and this will be their first time working together in a search for the top Capitol Police official. Top congressional leaders choose the board members and are expected to have some influence in the pick.

 

“If they pick someone from the inside, they’re going to know what our mission is,” Manger said in a recent interview before leaving the department. “They’ll have that — that’s good. If they pick somebody from the outside, they’re going to have to learn about our mission, the uniqueness of it, but the structure of oversight as well, and there is a learning curve there.”
