Southern Baptist delegates have gathered in Orlando, Florida, for their annual meeting and they're expected to vote on a constitutional amendment to formally ban churches with women pastors. This is the fourth consecutive year they're voting on this issue. The SBC's statement of faith opposes women pastors, but churches are independent and the denomination can't tell them what to do. However, the denomination can exclude churches with women pastors and has done so. The proposed amendment would require a two-thirds vote in two consecutive years. Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Albert Mohler is proposing the amendment. The meeting will also address resolutions on antisemitism and immigration.

A Colorado court reversed homicide convictions against two paramedics on Thursday in the ketamine overdose death of Elijah McClain after the Black man was pinned down by police. The court ordered new trials for Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics Jeremy Cooper and Peter Cichuniec. McClain had been forcibly restrained by police, who responded to a suspicious person complaint and stopped the massage therapist as he walked home from a convenience store in 2019. Cooper and Cichuniec were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide. Cichuniec also was convicted of felony assault, and the appeals court affirmed that conviction.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the Trump administration has definitively scrapped a $1.8 billion fund to compensate President Donald Trump's allies, but the White House is sticking with the part of the deal that permanently drops tax claims against him. It's an extraordinary flex of executive power that could help shield the president from further examination of his finances and legal conduct. Meanwhile the endorser-in-chief suffered a setback in Tuesday's elections, failing to lift Rep. Randy Feenstra to victory in Iowa’s Republican primary for governor. That sets up what the Democrats see as one of their best opportunities to pick up a governorship this year.
