TODAY'S HEADLINES, 5/22/13 *** The federal government is expected to tap a more than $11 billion disaster relief fund to pay for recovery efforts in Oklahoma. But a congressional debate has already erupted similar to the partisan conflict around Hurricane Sandy last year. On Tuesday, Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn, a Republican, sparked controversy after saying that any additional federal money for his home state should be offset by an equal amount in spending cuts. After his comments, Oklahoma residents immediately began to leave notes of disapproval on Coburn's Facebook page *** A series of protests against North Carolina's Republican-controlled legislature appear to be growing by the week. Some 57 protesters were arrested at the North Carolina General Assembly on Monday, the highest count to date. The NAACP has been holding what it calls "Moral Mondays," a weekly demonstration against North Carolina Republicans' legislative actions. These include cuts to social programs, restrictions of voting rights, and the forgoing of Medicaid expansion under President Obama's healthcare law *** The mangled corpse of an Afghan torture victim has been found near a U.S. military base in Afghanistan. The victim, Sayid Mohammad, was last seen being taken to the base for interrogation in November. His body was found with both feet cut off. Afghan officials are seeking the arrest of an Afghan-American interpreter on charges of murder and torture. The interpreter was reportedly identified in a video showing Mohammad's abuse. Mohammad is one of 17 people who disappeared after reportedly being seized in Wardak province *** More tomorrow
