Obama uses monuments to honor overlooked American stories
President Obama has designated several national monuments under the Antiquities Act, protecting more than 3.9 million acres. The Stonewall National Monument in New York City adds LGBT history, joining sites honoring Cesar Chavez, Harriet Tubman, and others, as a low cost method to shape national memory and press Congress for funding.

Donors rally around Trump despite fundraising gaps
Trump supporters believe big donors will eventually back Trump after more than 3,400 donors who previously gave to Jeb Bush aligned groups shifted to Trump. Trump financed much of his primary himself, resulting in weak May fundraising. He ended May with 1.3 million cash versus Clinton's 42 million and far smaller campaign staff. Trump and allies push back against concerns over campaign infrastructure against Clinton.
