JERUSALEM, May 6 (Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu clinched a deal on Wednesday to form a new government after reaching agreement with a far-right party, political sources said, just two hours before a deadline was due to expire. The sources, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Netanyahu's Likud party and the Jewish Home had plans to announce the deal shortly and then sign it. The coalition will rule by only the slimmest of majorities, 61 of 120 members in Israel's turbulent parliament.

    Some are wondering why South Dakota's Governor included her animal killing spree in her upcoming memoir. "She includes her story about the ill-fated Cricket, she says, to illustrate her willingness, in politics as well as in South Dakota life, to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it simply needs to be done." There is also a story about a wayward aggressive goat that was dealt with decisively, that is to say with a bullet to the brain. On Trump's shortlist for running-mate, Noem must think such anecdotes paint in a good light.

Via HuffPost: Host Joy Reid, who noted that Trump’s federal election interference case could be remanded back to the D. C. Circuit Court of Appeals and thus further delay the trial past Election Day, called the Supreme Court majority “so clearly politicians” before looping in Raskin. “Well, they’re politicians who are not even subject to popular election unlike me.
