Gov. Steve Sisolak, on CNN right now, says he's been on weekly calls with the White House COVID task force "literally begging" for PPE and test kits. He says an organized national response "would've saved thousands and thousands of lives."
Sisolak said Trump cared about himself being protected last night but not about the several thousand people who showed up to his rally: "He knows what the rules are ... He chose to show callous disregard in a reckless, selfish, irresponsible way."
Sisolak says it is "absurd" that President Trump didn't think the 50-person limit on gatherings applied to him: "I think he just doesn't much care."
Sisolak again maintains he had no involvement with stopping President Trump's rallies: "We had no input on his rallies."
Sisolak defends the Strip being open, saying that resorts and casinos are subject to strict coronavirus health and safety rules. But he says businesses can't control what happens when somebody leaves and goes on a public street.

BREAKING: Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge has just certified that the Supreme Court has overturned Roe. Abortion is now immediately illegal in Arkansas.

Abortion is now illegal in six states -- Arkansas, South Dakota, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri and Oklahoma.
Abortion is also banned after six-weeks under the private enforcement mechanism in Texas.
The states with pre-Roe bans are a little murky, but abortion is basically illegal (if not actually illegal) in Alabama, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

If you want to watch today's COVID-19 state press call, you can watch it at the link below.

I'll also be live tweeting updates here in the below thread.
Michelle White, Gov. Steve Sisolak's chief of staff, says the governor has requested the state start hosting these calls again. White says the state is "closely watching the new COVID-19 cases in Nevada and associated metrics in our communities."
Candice McDaniel, now with the director's office in the state DHHS, notes that cases are higher in Clark County "likely due to a mix of increased travel, higher population density, the variant's spread, the heat forcing people indoors, and lower vaccination rates."
