Mark Kelly on Kimmel:

Says he found out about Trump calling for his death when he was in SCIF - where you can’t bring your phone - when an aide brought in a note to his senate colleague Elissa Slotkin saying “the President is calling for your execution.”

The CDC has turned off its vaccine search tool.

The vaccines.gov site now gives an error when you enter a valid zip code.

They also removed text saying “Vaccines can help you stay healthy” and added a banner saying the site is being updated.

The Trump Admin's assault on working people continues.

They are now trying to restrict student loan assistance for many in critical professions, including nurses.

These Americans provide essential functions for all of us. This attack will make staffing shortages worse & harm everyone.
Full list of degrees not classed as ‘professional’ by Trump admin
Certain students may no longer receive the same loan for their studies as what counts as "professional" will determine how much they get.

Another baby has just died of whooping cough in Kentucky, thanks to RFK Jr. and his merry band of anti-vaxxers.

My feeling toward RFK Jr. and the Republican Senators who confirmed him is utter contempt.

Biden Spared 37 Killers From Execution. Trump Ordered Up a Lifetime of Torment.
Even America’s harshest federal prison, where inmates spend 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, was too good, one official said. “I’ve got no problem with gruel.”

Biden commuted their death sentences, so Trump retaliated by making their lives living hell, putting them in the country's most brutal prison, where they "spend 22 to 24 hours a day locked alone inside concrete cells that are smaller than a standard parking space."

Pure, pointless cruelty.
