1. The latest on the Surfside condo building collapse:

3. It's still June, but we just saw Tropical Storm Danny
Tropical Storm Danny has weakened to a Tropical Depression after making landfall Just North of Hilton Head on Pritchards Island in South Carolina Monday evening.
According to the National Hurricane Center, the depression is moving toward the west-northwest near 15 mph and this general motion is expected to continue during the next day or so.
A wave moving across the Atlantic has a medium chance of development over the next 5 days. Models show another wave following behind.
4. California bans state travel to Florida, 4 other states
California has added five more states including Florida to the list of places where state-funded travel is banned because of laws that discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community.
Democratic Attorney General Rob Bonta on Monday added Florida, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia to a list that now has 17 states where state employee travel is forbidden except in limited circumstances.
Lawmakers in 2016 passed the law banning non-essential travel to states with laws that discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
5. Supreme Court gives win to trans students
On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to take up the issue of transgender bathroom rights in public schools, leaving in place a lower court's ruling that allowed students to use the restrooms that matched their gender identity.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito noted that they wished for the court to take up the case. The high court offered no further comment.
Thomas gave another controversial opinion yesterday. Thomas thinks federal laws against the use or cultivation of marijuana may no longer make sense because of how hodgepodge the rules have become.
