Abortion 
 
The Supreme Court doesn't seem to be ready to make big changes to Roe v. Wade or anything having to do with abortion law -- yet. The court yesterday decided a provision of Indiana law that says the state may prohibit abortions motivated solely by race, sex or disability should remain blocked. However, the court did allow another part of the law requiring clinics to bury or cremate fetal remains to take effect. The first part of the decision is a win for abortion rights advocates. Still, states are cracking down on abortion access: Missouri by Friday may be the first state since Roe was decided in 1973 to no longer offer abortions. The state's health department is expected to block services at the last health center providing abortions, starting June 1.
 
President Trump 
 
We're still feeling the effects of President Trump's Memorial Day weekend rants about Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. In a series of tweets and statements, Trump called the former vice president "Swampman," "Sleepy Joe" and "a low-IQ individual" and made basically every kind of criticism you can make. Here's the thing: Some campaign experts think these kinds of attacks could actually be good for Biden's candidacy because they keep him in the public eye and give the sense that Trump views Biden as a real threat
 
Maui hiker 
 
The hiker who was rescued after 17 days lost in Maui is talking about what the ordeal was like. Amanda Eller, 35, was found safe Friday after she'd been missing for more than two weeks. In a news conference yesterday, she said she survived on berries and river water and slept in boar dens. Eller thanked her rescuers and everyone who kept the search for her alive. "They could have just forgotten about me and said, another missing person, no big deal," she said. The civilian search team that found Eller and executed her dramatic rescue via helicopter are now involved in a search for another hiker, who reportedly went missing May 20 a few miles from where Eller was found. 
 
Weather
 
Tornadoes and severe storms were everywhere yesterday. More than 1 million people in the New York City area found themselves under a tornado warning last night, and flights at LaGuardia airport were briefly grounded. A severe storm appeared to damage a New Jersey high school, although luckily no one was hurt. In Missouri and Kansas, a series of tornadoes touched down, razing dozens of homes and knocking out power to thousands. The Midwest and Northeast have been putting up with these dangerous weather patterns for nearly two weeks now -- and 39 million people from northeastern Texas to the Northeast STILL face threats today of heavy rain, hail and flash floods
 
Legionnaires' disease 
 
New Jersey health officials are investigating an unusual outbreak involving Legionnaires' disease. There are 22 reported cases of the disease in Union County, with patients becoming ill between March 8 and May 13. Legionnaires' disease is a type of lung infection spread through the air and is usually associated with buildings or structures with complex water systems, like hotels or cruise ships. Interestingly enough, you can't get it from another person -- you have to breathe in water droplets that contain the bacteria.
