TODAY IN 10

Is the United Methodist Church about to split?: The third-largest faith group in the United States has been talking for years about splintering as conservative wings from Africa and Asia begin to outnumber the relatively liberal American church. Pressure has grown since same-sex marriage started to become legal, meaning more pastors are performing such weddings — or coming out themselves — and traditional members are pushing for more accountability to United Methodist law and even trials for pastors who violate it.

Clinton wins Kentucky; Sanders takes Oregon: The outcomes, however, do little to change the Democratic race dynamic, as Hillary Clinton turns her focus to a likely general-election matchup with Donald Trump, who easily won Oregon’s GOP primary Tuesday. Full story

Megyn Kelly’s awkward prime-time debut: TV REVIEW | “Let’s just dive right in,” she said, and then proceeded to never dive into much of anything during her ultra-hyped interview with Trump. Entirely too much time was given to the Fox News host and presumptive Republican presidential nominee rehashing their spat, with editing so choppy that you couldn’t even trust the hidden meaning in their eye contact and attempts at frenemy rapport.

Millions more workers would be eligible for overtime pay under new federal rule: The Obama administration will unveil a rule Wednesday that would boost the pockets of an estimated 4.2 million salaried workers, a move that delivers a long-sought victory for labor groups.

Bank of America accused of running a ‘bros club’: A female executive is suing the bank after discovering how much her male colleagues earn. The case taps into long-held concerns that Wall Street has lagged in addressing the lack of women and racial minorities at the top of the country’s largest financial institutions. Full story

Mexican president proposes legalizing gay marriage: In a milestone for Latin America’s gradual shift toward marriage equality, Enrique Peña Nieto on Tuesday proposed legalizing same-sex marriage across Mexico. For a country that remains predominantly Catholic, and a region with a history of conservative social mores, Peña Nieto’s announcement marks a significant evolution. Full story

Time travel on North Korea’s fleet of Soviet-era planes: As if traveling to North Korea wasn’t adventurous enough, a group of 75 self-described “aviation geeks” just spent five days flying in Soviet-era aircraft around the heavily sanctioned country that struggles to get parts and jet fuel.
