Good morning, San Diego.

A stunning weekend of political assassination and protest nationally wrapped up locally with a Pride march on Sunday — this one for transgender rights and visibility. It capped off two days of protests filling the streets of San Diego and beyond.

In local news, NASA-JPL technology is helping scientists detect and identify environmental pollution in the Tijuana River Valley; a man who threatened the “No Kings” marches online is out on bail; and don’t miss a charming story about a father-daughter duo working together on the USS Nimitz.

Finally, if you struggled to beat the heat over the weekend, good news: a cooling trend is now underway.
