Trump SCOTUS nominee sided with Trump in 2012 casino dispute<\/a>: \u2018Kavanaugh was one of three Republican-appointed judges who in 2012 voted unanimously to set aside an order by the National Labor Relations Board that would have required the Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, to bargain with the\u00a0United Auto Workers<\/a>.<\/p>\n SHE\u2019S BACK<\/strong>. Lindsay Lohan releases teaser for MTV reality show set in Mykonos<\/a>.<\/p>\n QUIET SKIES<\/strong>. TSA program surveilled ordinary Americans not under any type of investigation<\/a>.<\/p>\n NO PRECONDITIONS<\/strong>. Trump says he\u2019d meet with Iranian president<\/a>.\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m ready to meet any time they want to,\u201d Trump said during a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte. \u201cIf they want to meet, I\u2019ll meet.\u201d<\/p>\n MASHA GESSEN<\/strong>. What the Provincetown AIDS Memorial leaves out<\/a>. \u201cAll memorials smooth over history, leaving out much of the passion, the tragedy, and, most of all, the stories of the victims. (The two-hundred-and-fifty-foot Pilgrim Monument that towers over Provincetown, indeed almost directly over the new\u00a0aids<\/em>\u00a0memorial, is a study in omissions.) The\u00a0AIDS\u00a0<\/em>monument, too, is remarkable for what it omits.\u201d<\/p>\n RON DESANTIS<\/strong>. Florida gubernatorial candidate teaches kids about Trump in stomach-churning new campaign ad.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n CHIEF IN NAME ONLY.<\/strong> John Kelly\u2019s impotence<\/a>: \u201cA year into the job, Kelly\u2019s attempts to implement traditional processes in an untraditional White House have failed, according to a dozen people in and outside the administration \u2014 though virtually all concede the West Wing runs better than it used to.\u201d<\/p>\n VOGUE ITALIA<\/strong>. New Madonna shoot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot<\/a>.<\/p>\n NASHVILLE<\/strong>. Man uses social app Jack\u2019d to meet and rob gay man<\/a>. \u2018Desmond S. Clements,\u00a0who has a lengthy criminal background<\/a>\u00a0and lives in Atlanta,\u00a0is charged with robbery, criminal impersonation and vandalism following the weekend incident and, as of Monday, was being jailed in Nashville on $11,500 bond. According to an arrest affidavit, Clements met the man<\/a> on\u00a0Jack\u2019d, a dating app for gay<\/a> men<\/a>, and arranged for him to come to the home where he was staying.\u00a0When the man<\/a> arrived, the affidavit states, Clements demanded $100 from him causing the man<\/a>\u00a0fear.\u2019<\/p>\n LUKE EVANS<\/strong>. Speedoed out in Portofino<\/a>.<\/p>\n GUY BRANUM<\/strong>. My gay voice<\/a>: \u2018We have to sound \u201clike that\u201d so we can find each other. Gays are a small, diffuse, physically invisible minority. This is deeply isolating. We spend most of our lives in a world built for straight people, where only 70 to 80 percent of our actual life is executable. It takes other gay<\/a> people for us to have sex<\/a>, but also for other, less basic operations of identity. Sharing experiences, building relationships and fighting for equality. Silent, we are isolated. Using our voices, we become a culture and a family.\u2019<\/p>\n TEXTING WHILE DRIVING OF THE DAY<\/strong>. A stationary bicyclist gets clobbered by a cop who isn\u2019t paying attention.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n SURVIVOR OF THE DAY<\/strong>.
