‘Ultra rare’ $500 banknote to be auctioned off
SUMMARY: An ultra-rare $500 banknote from the 1930s is set to be auctioned by Hansons Auctioneers. Printed 90 years ago, this rare note is part of a collection of USA notes discovered in Wales. William Hayward, a valuer at Hansons, notes the rarity of possessing such a note in 1934 and mentions it remains legal tender. Discontinued by Congress in 1969, $500 bills haven't been printed since 1945. Adjusted for inflation, the note's current value is approximately $11,619.17. The auction is scheduled for June 26, with an estimated price between $1,000 and $1,260.

Tarrant County Jailers Charged with Murder Arrested, Released on Bond
SUMMARY: Two corrections officers were booked and released on bond over the death of Marine veteran Anthony Johnson Junior at the Tarrant County Jail. Rafael Moreno allegedly caused Johnson’s death by kneeling on his back, while Lt. Joel Garcia recorded the incident. Both officers, initially fired, were reinstated and then indicted after the Medical Examiner ruled the death a homicide. Activists are demanding transparency and accountability, highlighting over 60 in-custody deaths at the jail since 2017. The incident has also led to a push for Sheriff Bill Waybourn’s resignation amid growing scrutiny of the Sheriff’s Department.

Taylor Casey update: Mother goes to Bahamas after daughter disappears, says visit was ‘deeply unsettling’
SUMMARY: The family of Taylor Casey, a 41-year-old Chicago woman missing in the Bahamas since June 19, is urging the U.S. government to provide more support. Casey vanished while at a yoga retreat. Her mother, Colette Seymore, found the visit to the retreat unsettling and reported that students seemed coached on what to say. Despite police efforts, including deploying divers and drones and finding Casey's cellphone in the ocean, Seymore criticized their work as insufficient. Witnesses reported seeing an unidentified man approaching Casey before her disappearance. The police have been tight-lipped about their investigation details and statements collected.

Abbott, Patrick release statement regarding Texas Energy Fund concerns
SUMMARY: Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick have highlighted urgent needs facing the Texas Energy Fund. ERCOT CEO Pablo Vegas testified that Texas might need 150,000 megawatts of power by 2030, whereas the current capacity stands at approximately 85,000 megawatts from wind, solar, coal, nuclear, and natural gas sources. Given these new projections, policies concerning the grid require immediate review. Texans approved a $5 billion program last November to incentivize new natural gas plants, but demand has driven the need to expand the fund to $10 billion. Texas aims to quickly approve and build new plants and transmission lines within three to six years.
