Today is National Cinnamon Roll Day, National Taco Day, 10-4 Day (breaker breaker good buddy) and we’re less than 3 days away from the weekend.  Today is going to be a good day to have a good day.  It starts with the 5 things you need to know in today’s That’s Trending

1.

Pope Francis opened a gathering of Roman Catholic delegates today in Vatican City to discuss the future of the Catholic Church. The topics under discussion—many previously considered off-limits—include the elevation of women in ministry, welcoming of divorced individuals and the LGBTQ+ community into the church, and priest celibacy and marriage.

2. The judge in the Donald Trump fraud case issued a gag order on the former President due to his social media attacks on a court clerk.  The judge says if Trump breaks the order there will be serious sanctions placed against him

3. It’s a historic move, for the first time in U.S. history House Speaker Kevin McCarthy was voted out of a job.  The move was orchestrated by far right Republicans and then a number of Democrates piled on. Uncertainty rules now, as there is no clear successor who will take McCarth’s job.

4. A reminder that around 1:20p today, your device will ping and alerts will be sent to radio and tv for the nationwide test of the FEMA Sanctioned Wireless and Broadcast alert system.  It is designed to evaluate the network’s effectiveness in communicating national alerts within 10 minutes.

5. Jets QB Aaron Rodgers took a cheap shot at Travis Kelce after the Sunday Night Football game calling him Mr. Pfizer because Travis is on a new ad campaign for the latest Covid vaccine.  Let’s see, one of these guys is is being a good human by promoting health and wellness, playing at the top of his game on the field and dating superstar Taylor Swift, the other went down after 4 plays, may not play for the rest of the year and looks like a guy who would steal the radio out of your car.  Sit down Aaron.
