Aren’t you everybody’s type?

Who’s on the defense…

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R). She’s come under fire after the Guardian obtained parts of her upcoming memoir in which Noem talks about shooting and killing her 14-month old dog for being “untrainable” and aggressive towards people. People on social media reportedly began questioning if Noem is the right person to be former President Trump’s pick for vice president. She responded by saying the incident shows she’s “never” passed her “responsibilities to anyone else to handle.” As for other contenders to be Trump's VP, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum’s (R) name appears to be floating to the top of the list. Trump’s team reportedly believes Burgum would be a safe choice who could bring in moderate voters. Whoever Trump picks could spend a lot of time filling in for the former president on the campaign trail as Trump’s criminal trial in Manhattan plays out (which resumes tomorrow).

What can be scary…

Cosmetic needles. Last week, the CDC said three women contracted HIV after getting “vampire facials” at an unlicensed medical spa in New Mexico after completing a yearslong investigation. Officials believe these cases could mark the first time the virus has been contracted via cosmetic needles. The facials are performed after a client’s blood is withdrawn, separated into platelet-rich plasma, and then re-injected into the face using microneedles. In its investigation the CDC found that the spa was reusing single-use equipment as it was performing “vampire facials” and highlighted how important infection control practices are. As for the spa, it hasn’t performed any “vampire facials” or anything else since officials forced it to close in 2018.

Where people are on alert…

The Midwest. More than 100 tornadoes hit Oklahoma, Nebraska, and Iowa over the weekend, leaving at least four people dead and severe structural damage. 18 million people have also reportedly been on watch for flash flooding from storms in parts of Missouri to Louisiana with warnings continuing into today. Yesterday, Red Cross Oklahoma said it’s opening a shelter in Sulphur, one of the hardest hit towns by tornadoes. It’s unclear how many people remain injured.
