Good morning, and welcome to RedState's "Morning Minute" — a brief glimpse at which stories are trending at the moment and a look ahead at what the day may bring. Consider this your one-stop shop for news to kickstart your day. 

TOP O' THE MORNIN'

Megyn Kelly Schools Bill Maher on Trump, J6, Biden and the Border in Epic Interview

He's left basically stammering, perhaps not realizing how ignorant he's truly been on a lot of these issues, yet, it's fake information that he's forming his opinions from.

You're FIRED! Portland Voters Hand Soft-on-Crime, Soros-Backed DA His Walking Papers

This is welcome news and a sign that Americans may be seeing the light and refusing to put up with such nonsense anymore.

WATCH: Tim Kaine Gives Insane Commentary on 'Butcher of Tehran' When Pressed on WH 'Condolences'

That Kaine couldn't speak with moral clarity on the matter shows just how far down the rabbit hole he and his party members have gone.

WHAT'S ON TAP?

Today on Capitol Hill...

More hearings and meetings are set for Thursday on the Hill, including: 

• House Oversight and Accountability — “Oversight of the U.S. Department of Energy” (featuring DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm)
• House Education and the Workforce — "Calling for Accountability: Stopping Antisemitic College Chaos" (featuring university presidents/chancellor from Northwestern, Rutgers, and UCLA)
• House Judiciary  — Oversight of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives
• Senate Finance — Hearings to examine the front lines of the fentanyl crisis, focusing on supporting communities and combating addiction through prevention and treatment

Full Court Press...

The criminal trial of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has screeched to a grinding halt, compliments of...infrastructure issues. First there was courthouse flooding, then jurors stuck in elevators. The trial will resume next Tuesday, following Memorial Day. 

Elsewhere in court, former Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry (R) is set to be arraigned in D.C. on Thursday on charges that he lied to the FBI over a campaign contribution from a foreign billionaire. (Fortenberry was tried and convicted on these charges in California, but the Ninth Circuit tossed the conviction, saying he should be tried where the offense(s) occurred — either Nebraska or D.C. The government then refiled the charges in D.C.) 

And last, but not least — Thursday is another decision hand down day for the Supreme Court. (Look for another edition of "Skinny on SCOTUS" to follow.) 

MORNING MUSING

Sorry, friends — think my muse is mused out. 

LIGHTER FARE 

If it walks like a hero and quacks like a hero...
