🗣 White House encourages Roe v. Wade protests outside Supreme Court justices' homes
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended protests staged outside SCOTUS justices' homes after plans to abolish Roe v Wade were earlier leaked. 'Just because people are passionate does not mean they are violent,' she told reporters Tuesday.
A reporter reminded the press secretary that the protests were in response to a pending court case, and thus could run up against federal law.
Under a federal law, 18 USC 1507, any individual who 'pickets or parades' with the 'intent of interfering with, obstructing, or impeding the administration of justice, or with the intent of influencing any judge, juror, witness, or court officer' near a US court or 'near a building or residence occupied or used by such judge, juror, witness, or court officer' will be fined or 'imprisoned not more than one year, or both.'

🗳 Election 2022: Trump faces new test in Nebraska
Nebraska Republicans will pick a nominee for governor Tuesday in a bitter primary race that was upended in recent weeks after a leading candidate endorsed by former President Donald Trump was accused of groping at least eight women over the last few years.
Charles Herbster, a businessman and cattle breeder who has denied the allegations, is in a nine-way GOP primary to replace Republican Gov. Pete Ricketts, who’s prevented by term limit laws from running again.
The winner will emerge as a strong favorite in November’s general election in Republican-dominated Nebraska. State Sen. Carol Blood is the top candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor. Nebraska and West Virginia are holding primary elections on Tuesday, with select races providing some measure of the former president’s enduring sway with GOP voters.

🎲 Watery graves recall early Las Vegas’ organized crime days
Stories about long-departed Las Vegas organized crime figures are surfacing after a second set of unidentified human remains were revealed as the water level falls on drought-stricken Lake Mead.
Boaters spotted the decomposed body of a man in a rusted barrel stuck in the mud of newly exposed shoreline. Las Vegas police say he had been shot, probably between the mid-1970s and early 1980s. A few days later, two sisters were paddle boarding on the lake near a former marina resort and noticed bones on a newly surfaced sand bar more than 9 miles from the barrel.
The lake that slakes the thirst of 40 million people in cities, farms and tribes across seven Southwestern states is down to about 30% of capacity.

❗️Celebrity chef Mario Batali acquitted of sexual misconduct in Boston trial decided by judge, not jury
Natali Tene, 32, accused Batali, 61, of forcibly kissing her and groping her at a Boston bar in 2017 while the two were taking photos together.
While delivering his verdict, Judge James Stanton said he had issues with Tene's credibility and said Batali paid a "high cost" in terms of his diminished reputation.

💧 LA plans to impose twice weekly landscape watering limit
The city of Los Angeles plans to require residents and businesses to reduce outdoor landscape watering from three days per week to two as California’s drought deepens, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced Tuesday.
The planned restriction for Los Angeles Department of Water and Power customers is less severe than a recent decision by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California requiring some customers it supplies to cut watering to once weekly.
Garcetti still urged homeowners to replace thirsty lawns with drought-tolerant landscaping.
