That’s it from me today. My west coast colleague, Maanvi Singh, will take over the blog for the next few hours.

Here’s where the day stands so far:

• The Republican governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, signed a bill restricting voting access into law. The law includes restrictions on voting by mail and ballot drop boxes. The White House criticized the legislation, saying Florida is “moving in the wrong direction” by limiting access to the ballot box.
• Joe Biden delivered a pitch for his infrastructure plan in Louisiana. Speaking near a dilapidated bridge that needs to be replaced in Lake Charles, the president said Democrats and Republicans should be able to come together on an infrastructure bill. “I’ve never seen a Republican or Democrat road. I just see roads,” Biden said.
• Liz Cheney warned the Republican party is at a “turning point,” as her House colleagues move forward with efforts to remove her from leadership. “Republicans must decide whether we are going to choose truth and fidelity to the Constitution,” Cheney wrote in a Washington Post op-ed yesterday. “History is watching.”
• Hillary Clinton called for a “global reckoning” with disinformation. The former secretary of state told the Guardian’s David Smith, “The technology platforms are so much more powerful than any organ of the so-called mainstream press, and I do think that there has to be not just an American reckoning but a global reckoning with the disinformation, with the monopolistic power and control, with the lack of accountability that the platforms currently enjoy.”

Maanvi will have more coming up, so stay tuned.
