'I am personally going to find each of you and permanently hot glue one of these to your face,' Biden did not say to America's vaccine deniers, mask opponents, and conspiracy cranks. Maybe he's saving that one for a possible winter surge.

In the news today: In an uncharacteristically blunt speech, President Joe Biden let loose on those still prolonging the pandemic by refusing vaccinations and other safety measures while announcing a broad program of mandatory vaccinations for government workers and large employers. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the Department of Justice would indeed be filing suit to block Texas Republicans' new near-total abortion ban. An infamously violent "Proud Boy" went looking for trouble in Olympia, and trouble found him right back.

Here's some of what you may have missed:

• Biden announces measures against COVID-19 surge, including vaccine requirement for big employers

• Garland to file suit against Texas on abortion; House Democrats urge him to go after bounty hunters

• Biden calls for increase in solar power. The New York Times calls for increase in negative framing
