The RNC kindly reminded journalists covering the convention this morning that the dress code exists for a reason, probably because many of us are just slobs and apparently jeans and sneakers were way too prevalent yesterday. Anyway, one thing of note to separate from the pack of khakis and polos and button ups: Cargo shorts are a no-go. Which makes sense, since they should be a no-go everywhere at all times.

The reminder, courtesy of Deadspin/GQ's Drew Magary:

I was just told no cargo shorts in the convention hall so that's a real blow

Because of Idaho’s abortion ban and a court decision that does not protect emergency room physicians from prosecution under that law, some Idaho physicians are advising their pregnant patients, or those trying to become pregnant, to purchase memberships with companies like Life Flight Network or Air St. Luke’s in the Boise area to avoid potentially significant costs if they need air transport in an emergency.
