The month was dominated by the New York trial of former President Trump, which resulted in a historic conviction.
May was also marked by the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, antisemitic protests that erupted on college campuses across the country, the explosive spat between Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, at a congressional hearing, the controversy surrounding an upside-down American flag outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's home following Jan. 6, Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's viral graduation speech, and basketball superstar Caitlin Clark's splashy WNBA debut.
