* It’s not immediately clear what caused the crash, and completing an investigation could take months: “A B-52 bomber crashed shortly after takeoff at a U.S. Air Force base in Southern California’s Mojave Desert and burst into flames Monday, killing all eight people aboard, military officials said. Aerial footage showed virtually nothing left of the aircraft that went down around 11:20 a.m. during a routine test mission at Edwards Air Force Base, which is north of Los Angeles.”
* Keep an eye on this one: “CIA Director John Ratcliffe and acting national security adviser Marco Rubio told Trump and other top administration officials that, based on intelligence collected by U.S. agencies, they doubted Iran would agree to the nuclear steps Washington sought in the agreement, a U.S. official with knowledge of the matter told MS NOW.”
* If there’s a difference between “tolls” and “fees,” I’m eager to learn what it is: “Though President Trump declared on Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen and be ‘permanently toll-free,’ Iran indicated on Monday that it intended to charge fees for unspecified services in the strait.”
* RFK Jr. sure does disagree with the CDC a lot: “A cruise ship passenger who was exposed to hantavirus in early May is still being held at a quarantine facility in Nebraska, against her wishes and against the recommendation of a medical review from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
* The department’s latest regressive step: “The Education Department plans to move the offices that oversee special education services and civil rights out of the agency, part of the Trump administration’s effort to close the department by moving all its functions to other parts of the government, three people briefed on the plan said Tuesday.”

* Fresh evidence the Covid-19 vaccine is amazing: “The coronavirus vaccine reduced the risk of major cardiovascular events linked to covid-19 — strokes, heart attacks, and hospitalization from heart disease — by about 40 percent, according to a new study. … The study, published Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine, also suggested the vaccine has a broader public health benefit. The vaccine modestly reduced cardiovascular conditions, hospitalizations and deaths of all causes, including those not linked to covid, researchers said.”
* It apparently took him 45 years to acknowledge what seemed pretty obvious: “Republican Gov. Mike DeWine, who has repeatedly postponed executions over the past seven years, said Tuesday that Ohio should abolish the death penalty, confirming his change of heart on the policy he helped write as a state legislator 45 years ago. DeWine, 79, said during a news conference that data indicates the death penalty is not serving as a deterrent to violent crime, which he had always believed was its moral imperative.”
