* De Blasio announces that ALL City workers will have to vaccinate, and that those who haven't gotten vaccinated will receive a $100 incentive at all City-run sites.
* Cuomo initially didn't follow de Blasio's lead, but made the decision to make state workers get vaccinated after Biden decided to make it hard for federal workers.
* Biden is facing outcry from federal workers' unions for recent federal mask mandates, but said the decision is crucial to get an upper hand against the Delta variant.
* The January 6th Select Committee opened its first hearing listening to compelling testimony from Capitol and DC police officers that thought they were going to die on January 6th. Meanwhile, the GOP called for the expulsion of Cheney and Kinzinger for daring to serve on the committee, and went crazy against reimposed mask mandates on the House floor.
* The Senate stayed at work overtime to keep working on bill text for Biden's physical infrastructure proposal, after blowing numerous deadlines to reveal it. In the meantime, funding was passed for Capitol Police and for incoming Afghan interpreters being housed in the US while their visas are being processed in exchange for helping the US military.
