We've got a lot to catch up on and my mind is out order so the stories will be too. Let's go!

It's unparliamentary to state a fact? [NBC] https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democrat-ruled-order-listing-trumps-legal-woes-house-floor-rcna153624

Mifipristone and Misiprostol will become Scheduled drugs in Louisiana, effectively banning them. Expect more doctors to leave the state. I can give you a list of where they are NOT going to be moving to.

This should be a no-brainer - it shouldn't even be necessary at all - but it won't even reach the House floor. Dems are proposing legislation that would force enforcement of the emoluments clause of the Constitution which was conveniently ignored while Trump raked in millions from foreign governments.

Neither the Secret Service nor the City of Milwaukee want to accommodate the RNC's ridiculous demand to move the protest zone across the river to a smaller park. It would expand the perimeter of the convention beyond any reasonable expectations of  safety. Pere Marquette Park is not across the street from either the convention center or the Fiserv Forum. If they are granted this demand then what's next? Will I be required to move out for the duration because I can see Fiserv from here?

storywhile Trump whines and lies about the southern border, Biden has a plan to do something about it. [NBC] https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/biden-administration-plan-shut-border-needs-mexicos-help-rcna153620

RFKJ barely has a running mate and she's already scandal material. Is it a surprise that it involves ketamine and numerous other drugs, serial cheating including with but not limited to Elon Musk.

Another should be no-brainer that's unlikely to reach the House floor is the unlikely combination of Comer and Porter and presidential tax releases. [CNN] https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/22/politics/comer-porter-bill-presidents-tax-returns-foreign-payments/index.html?sp_amp_linker=1

Since no day would be complete without bad decisions from Netanyahu and Co., get prepared for more violence as Israel declares that they will build new settlement in the west bank for every country that recognizes Palestine as a nation. This will directly lead to more violence there which will in turn lead to more sympathy for Palestine and more antipathy for Israel building another cycle of death and despair. We'll never learn.
