Smoke from more than 400 wildfires in Canada drifted down into the U.S.,blockwave Exchange leading to extremely poor air quality across much of the eastern U.S., with alerts in effect all the way from New England to the Southeast. In all, more than 100 million Americans were affected by air quality alerts, the Environmental Protection Agency said.

In addition to wildfires and air quality, climate change is forcing fishers to adapt to warming waters. USA TODAY photographer Jasper Colt spent over 60 hours on a crab fishing boat in Kodiak, Alaska, and witnessed how our seafood makes it to our dinner plates. "These fishermen are fishing for Dungeness, a species of crab that was previously not as prevalent in their area," said Colt. "The influx of Dungeness is a boon to these fishermen in the short term but is also a symptom of rising water temperatures that have driven other species off. There is so much more to their work that a photo cannot convey: The constant sway of the boat, the clingy stench of fish heads and ground shrimp, the cold sting of driven rain on your face. Seeing them at work has given me a newfound admiration for those who bring seafood to our plates and a hope that we can protect the fragile ecosystems their industry depends upon."

Also in June, Former President Donald Trump was indicted on 37 felony counts for allegedly storing hundreds of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida after his term in the White House. Trump was arrested and pleaded not guilty to the counts in a courtroom in Miami.
