President Biden is set to meet with a group of mayors and police chiefs at the White House this afternoon, where he’s expected to announce $10 billion from the American Rescue Plan has been committed to policing and public safety. A senior administration official told reporters Biden wants to call on communities to use these funds "now" because "we are approaching another summer and want to stress the priority of using these dollars for public safety and violence prevention." It comes as the president has been under pressure from Republicans and others to bring down violent crime across the country.

Stores nationwide are struggling to keep their shelves stocked with baby formula with 40 percent of formula out of stock. In some states, more than half of formula is sold out in stores. So what’s making it so hard to get? The deaths of two infants from a rare infection prompted an FDA investigation of formula producer Abbott, which snowballed into a recall of several brands. Combine that with an already strained supply chain and the ongoing pandemic, and parents are left looking for alternatives. Brian has details.

Finland’s leaders have come out in favor of applying to join NATO, and Sweden could do the same within days, in a historic realignment on the continent 2 1/2 months after Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.  The Kremlin reacted by warning it will be forced to take retaliatory “military-technical” steps.  Finland’s president and prime minister announced that the Nordic country should apply right away for membership in NATO, the military defense pact founded in part to counter the Soviet Union. “You (Russia) caused this. Look in the mirror,” Finnish President Sauli Niinisto said.  This would represent a major change in Europe’s security landscape: Sweden has avoided military alliances for more than 200 years, while Finland adopted neutrality after its defeat by the Soviets in World War II.  Public opinion in both nations shifted dramatically in favor of NATO membership after the invasion in February, which stirred fears in countries along Russia’s flank that they could be next.  Such an expansion of the alliance would leave Russia surrounded by NATO countries in the Baltic Sea and the Arctic and would amount to a stinging setback for Putin, who had hoped to divide and roll back NATO in Europe but is instead seeing the exact opposite happen.  Meanwhile, U.S. troops joined forces from Britain, France, Italy and allied countries in the region today in a military exercise held in NATO’s newest member, North Macedonia, aimed at displaying deployment readiness along the alliance’s eastern borders.

The White House is today marking one million dead from COVID-19.  Official Johns Hopkins numbers are just shy of that mark.  One million is a staggering number.  It is equal to every person living in San Jose, CA – the 10th largest city in the US – disappearing.  COVID-19 was the third leading cause of death in the US in 2021, following heart disease and cancer according to new data from the CDC.  The number of Americans lost to COVID dwarfs the number who have died from the flu.  But there are so many lives that have been impacted.  As we reach this milestone we hear from those who have been most impacted.
