0:00.0 | It's Monday, June 2nd. I'm Jane Koston, and this is what a day, the show that says |
0:06.4 | Happy Pride Month and says it really, really, really loudly. |
0:18.9 | On today's show, the Supreme Court says the Trump administration can temporarily lift deportation protections for around half a million migrants. |
