NEW: Federal authorities are investigating a massive ‘8647’ that appears etched into the grass of the National Mall. ‘8647’ has become a mainstream way for President Trump’s critics to show disgust with the commander-in-chief. ‘86’ usually means to axe or kill something, commonly used in the restaurant industry, and ‘47’ references Trump as the 47th president of the United States. The most notable incident of the ‘8647’ trend came after former FBI director James Comey posted the message online last year. The Department of the Interior saying, “The deranged vandalism on our National Mall will not be tolerated,” and that “any threat against the President is taken very seriously.”

NEW: With Iran at the center of a growing international conflict, the Trump administration is preparing a deportation flight that includes sending Iranian asylum-seekers and other migrants to Africa. The first flight could depart as early as Thursday carrying about 20 people, according to reports. The group includes migrants from Iran, Syria, Afghanistan and a Turkish national, with the Central African Republic set to receive them. The move is part of the administration's expanding use of third-country deportation deals for migrants who cannot easily be returned to their home countries.

Stephen A. Smith says President Trump had every right to fire back at him, but jokes that his appearance disrupted the Knicks’ momentum and helped cost them Game 3: “I take no offense at the president coming after me the way that he did. People go after him every day. I’ve certainly gone after him. He has every right to come back and clap back at me. I’m a big boy. I can take it. He’s not phasing me one bit. But this man was raised in Queens, New York. He’s a lifelong Knicks fan. He knows about the suffering that spans 53 years. And when you are a true sports fan, you know that every little thing can disrupt momentum. You had watch parties outside with thousands of people, packed arenas, fans throughout the city, gatherings in Central Park, Bryant Park, and across New York. The momentum was there. The energy was there. And what does this guy do? He shows up, they have to get rid of the watch party, he disrupts the momentum and the fervor, and that is why I blamed him for the loss in Game 3.”

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld gave a blunt response to an influencer who asked the comedian to say "free Palestine," telling the streamer that it didn't exist. "What up Seinfeld, what up? Can we get a 'free Palestine?'" the streamer asked in a video posted to TikTok, as Seinfeld laughed. "Come on, give us one 'free Palestine.'" Seinfeld responded, "It doesn't exist."

REP. WESLEY HUNT: "The fact that the Left... is willing to even bring up race in this situation is really disheartening to me." "I look at this case and I think — what if that were my child who was stabbed by anybody of any race? I would like that person to pay the consequences, and that's exactly what's happening to Karmelo Anthony."

A historic Knicks comeback turned into chaos outside Madison Square Garden. Video shows fans flooding Midtown, climbing on cars and smashing a yellow cab as one person waved a Palestinian flag from the crowd. The Knicks had just pulled off the biggest comeback in NBA Finals history — but the celebration quickly spilled into destruction in the streets. Police say thousands packed the area after New York’s 107-106 win over the Spurs, with officers arresting nearly 60 people during the chaos.

One of the most recognizable lawns in the world is nearly ready for fight night. The UFC Octagon is in place outside the White House for the "UFC Freedom 250" celebration on June 14th — which is also President Trump's birthday. Preparations have been underway for weeks, including the installation of a roughly 90-foot-tall steel arch, dubbed the "claw." The event is expected to attract 4,000 spectators.

A U.S. senator just made ESPN's Top 10. Missouri @Eric_Schmitt laid out near the left field foul line during the Congressional Baseball Game, never taking his eyes off a drifting fly ball before hauling in a diving catch. Schmitt got up with his nose bleeding, fired the ball back to the infield, and had Nationals Park on its feet. But his baseball history — and that specific glove — takes him all the way back to his high school days and a $40 restring at Play It Again Sports, he tells the @RuthlessPodcast. To his own disbelief, the catch landed at No. 5 on SportsCenter's Top 10 plays as Republicans rolled to an 11-2 win over Democrats — their sixth straight victory in the annual charity game. | @HolmesJosh @MichaelDuncan

KHOSRO ISFAHANI: "A bad deal with Iran is worse than no deal... A bad deal is going to only enable this regime." "The JCPOA under Obama enabled them to bring us October 7th — imagine what else this regime would do."

"It's a gift to the American people. They're going to see their White House and their capital on their nation's birthday celebrating with a historic event." "We could've had a band... We could've done a Shakespeare in the park production... A billion people all over the world will be watching America celebrate its 250th birthday." "We're happy to be a part of that."

“You have done more for this nation in the seafood space than any president before you in my lifetime.” American fishermen came to the Oval Office to thank President Trump for cutting Biden-era regulations they say were crushing their industry — and even made him an honorary crew member: "You're one of us now." "We support you 100%."

The Trump administration is cutting off tens of millions of dollars in federal funding to a Los Angeles agency that provides services to the homeless as it investigates potential fraud. According to a letter first obtained by Fox News, the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) has received nearly $1 billion in taxpayer funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development since 2021.
