2. Trump is moving forward with his campaign promise to tighten restrictions on foreign work visas. Guess he’s hoping this executive order will be the one that sticks. More here.

3. Steve Stephens, who shot and killed a 74-year-old man live on Facebook, has killed himself during police pursuit. More here.

4. Theresa May has called for a general election to take place in the UK in June. Are all government decisions knee jerk reactions now? More here.

5. Tyler the Creator will create the theme song for Bill Nye’s new Netflix show. There’s no way Tyler can beat the original theme. No way! More here.
