Get context, not just headlines. Every weekday The Excerpt brings USA TODAY's award-winning journalists from across the nation together to unpack America's most pressing stories — from politics and culture to sports and entertainment — with host Dana Taylor.
National correspondent Trevor Hughes also sets the scene in Uvalde of a community in mourning. Plus, Southern Baptist Convention leaders will release a list of ministers accused of sexual misconduct, reporter Kenny Jacoby looks into Title IX fraud, Ukraine's president won't concede Russia-occupied territory and a huge asteroid gets close to Earth.
Correction: A previous version of this episode mentioned the wrong date that an asteroid is passing by Earth. It is passing by on May 27.
