Five stories to know for May 28 : Capitol commission, Biden chides Republicans, $928 billion infrastructure offer, California and Belarus

1. Senate Democrats urged Republicans to join them in voting to support a commission to probe the deadly attack on the Capitol by Donald Trump's supporters, although the idea seemed to lack critical support ahead of a vote.

2. President Joe Biden chided Republican lawmakers who voted against his $1.9 trillion economic stimulus and COVID-19 relief bill yet tout its benefits to their constituencies.

3. Senate Republicans unveiled a new $928 billion offer to revitalize America’s roads, bridges and broadband systems which fell well short of President Biden’s latest infrastructure proposal, but proved substantial enough to keep negotiations alive.

4. A transit employee who gunned down nine co-workers and killed himself at a Northern California rail yard was "highly disgruntled" long before carrying out the latest U.S. shooting rampage, the county sheriff said.

5. Belarusian air-traffic control refused a request by a Ryanair pilot to contact the airline after being told of an alleged bomb threat, leaving him with no alternative but to land in Minsk, the Irish carrier said in a letter seen by Reuters.
