Breonna Taylor's family will address a grand jury's decision to not indict any police officers for her death. And, Let's Do the Time Warp Again — "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" turns 45.

Here's today's news:

Ruth Bader Ginsburg to get historic honor at US Capitol

The late Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will become the first woman and Jewish person in history to lie in state at the U.S. Capitol on Friday. Thirty-four men have been so honored at the Capitol since 1852. Civil rights icon Rosa Parks, who was not a public official, was lain in "honor" at the Capitol Rotunda in 2005, but Ginsburg will be the first woman to lie in state. The 87-year-old Ginsburg, who died last week, lay in repose at the Supreme Court on Wednesday and Thursday. She will be buried next week at Arlington National Cemetery. President Donald Trump said during a campaign rally in Jacksonville on Thursday that he will announce a woman as his Supreme Court pick to replace Ginsburg on Saturday and challenged Democratic nominee Joe Biden to release his own list of potential Supreme Court candidates.

Breonna Taylor's family to hold a news conference in Louisville

The family of Breonna Taylor will hold a news conference Friday with attorney Ben Crump in Louisville, Kentucky, where they'll address a grand jury's decision to not indict any of the police officers for Taylor's death. Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer, made a brief appearance at Louisville's Jefferson Square Park on Thursday, pausing at a memorial for her daughter and telling the Louisville Courier Journal, "The love is still here." Palmer, who drove an hour from Louisville to Frankfort to hear Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron's announcement, also recalled her feelings upon hearing that no officers would face charges in her daughter's death. "Mad ... Upset. Hurt. A lot of emotions," she said. "I wasn't surprised, though. I didn't have faith in them to begin with. I was holding out hope."

Yosemite to reopen after onslaught of smoke from wildfires

Yosemite National Park is set to reopen Friday after being closed for nearly a week due to hazardous air quality caused by smoke from wildfires in California's Sequoia and Sierra national forests. The park will reopen visitor services in stages throughout the weekend but could close areas based on air quality, which is projected to be in the moderate to unhealthy range for sensitive groups over the next few days, spokeswoman Jamie Richards said. Visitors are allowed to drive through the park but are asked not to stop.

Celtics on the brink as Miami eyes NBA Finals berth

The Miami Heat could take another giant step Friday as they take on the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN). Miami relied on the bull's-eye shooting of their rookie guard Tyler Herro , who delivered a career-high 37 points in the team's Game 4 victory over Boston. "He has a confidence. He has a fearlessness that is uncommon," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said about Herro, the 13th pick in the 2019 draft. A Game 5 victory will allow Miami to advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2014.

And finally:

'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' turns 45: Every song, ranked

"I would like to take you on a strange journey." The late Charles Gray's opening words as the criminologist narrator of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" couldn't be more apt. Since 1975, many, many have embraced this wild and wonderful confection that's part campy musical, part horror and all midnight movie. For the uninitiated, "Rocky Horror" – a film version of creator Richard O'Brien's stage show – stars Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick as Janet Weiss and Brad Majors, a couple of Midwestern squares waylaid by a blown-out tire. They venture to a nearby castle, where they find all manner of weirdness perpetrated by Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry), a cross-dressing mad scientist from the planet Transsexual in the Transylvania galaxy. The movie is an ode to old-school science fiction, Hollywood and rock 'n' roll, as well as an exploration of sexual expression and gender fluidity. It's also chock-full of catchy songs. To celebrate the 45th anniversary of "Rocky Horror," we're definitively ranking them all.
