YOUR MORNING NEWS ROUNDUP

Fri Jun 28 2024

Lorenzino Estrada | Digital Producer

Good morning, Arizona. Here’s what our reporters are working on and what you should know before you start your day.

The first presidential debate provided something rare in American politics these days: relative agreement.

It was a bad night for President Joe Biden, who often struggled to make his points and appeared worryingly old.

Here are five things that stood out from the debate.

Valley housing market slowing

The number of Valley homes sold was up in May from April but is also expected to fall in June. The number of listings climbed last month. What’s in the forecast?

Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1894: President Grover Cleveland signed legislation that made Labor Day a national holiday to be celebrated on the first Monday in September. In the 1880s and 1890s, labor activists had sought recognition to honor the achievements of American workers, with over 30 states having adopted the holiday by the time it received federal approval.
•	In 1902: Congress approved a bill that authorized a $40 million purchase of a project – started but abandoned by France on Colombian land – to build the Panama Canal linking the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The canal, which opened in 1914, was controlled entirely by the U.S. until 1979 and jointly with Panama until 1999.
•	In 1919: World War I ended after Germany and the Allied powers ratified the Treaty of Versailles in Paris. Over 53,000 U.S. service members died in battle and another 63,000 of them died otherwise in service to the nation during the Great War, which had about 20 million military and civilian deaths on all sides.
•	In 1964: Black Muslim Malcolm X, a militant civil rights activist who pushed for the empowerment of Black people, announced the formation of the Organization of Afro-American Unity after he had broken away from the Nation of Islam and converted to orthodox Islam. Eight months later, Malcolm X was fatally shot inside New York’s Audubon Ballroom, the same location of the OAAU’s founding meeting.
•	In 1970: The first Gay Pride marches in the U.S. were organized one year after the Stonewall Uprising. Thousands of LGBTQ+ people demonstrated for equal rights in in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.
•	In 2019: Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne called out President Donald Trump for using the musician’s song, “Crazy Train,” without permission during his reelection campaign. “In the meantime, I have a suggestion for Mr. Trump – perhaps he should reach out to some of his musician friends,” Sharon Osbourne added in a statement on her husband’s behalf to USA TODAY. “Maybe Kanye West (“Gold Digger”), Kid Rock (“I Am the Bullgod”) or Ted Nugent (“Stranglehold”) will allow use of their music.”
