Today, I wore orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Americans want real action that makes our communities safer. Democrats will never stop fighting for commonsense gun safety laws.

☀️ Heads-up, New York. Thursday brings the first real scorcher of the season, with the heat index climbing to 98°F (37°C) by early afternoon. A Heat Advisory is in effect from noon Thursday through 8 PM Friday. The best move on a day like this is to find a cool option, meaning any public or private space with air conditioning, like a library, a mall, a friend’s place, or a city cooling center. Find one near you at nyc.gov/beattheheat. 🧊 Cranking AC across the city also strains the power grid, so timing your energy use matters too. Here is how the day will feel hour by hour, and what to do at each step to stay ahead of both. 👇

The Trump administration blocked my mayor from meeting Colombia’s democratically elected leader. Authoritarian governments silence what they fear. I’d expect this from Xi’s China. Not from the United States of America. washingtonpost.com/national-…

63 years after the #EqualPayAct was enacted, the wage gap persists, especially for women of color. Equal work deserves equal pay. We must keep fighting until that promise becomes reality.

Nobody has ever walked into a grocery store or gas station, paid a higher price than before, and said, “You know what? I love this.” I guarantee you that.

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Gas prices are over $4 per gallon across the country, millions of Americans are losing access to health care, and inflation is rising. What are Republicans doing about it? Sending an additional $70 billion to ICE & CBP despite DHS sitting on $100 billion in unspent cash from last year.

It was a pleasure to meet with @NYSHFA_NYSCAL today to discuss pressing health care issues from the skilled nursing workforce shortage to the Medicare Advantage program. Providing affordable health care for residents in #NY05 remains one of my top priorities in Congress.

Trump said he doesn't think about Americans’ financial situation. And why would he? POTUS and his family get richer each day through their crypto schemes. Demanding oversight and transparency isn't political pressure, Mr. Comptroller. It's the will of the American people.

Trump named Bill Pulte—a loyalist with zero national security or intelligence experience—to serve as Director of National Intelligence. Rubio, who has years of national security & intelligence experience, on if he's ever heard Pulte’s name in the context of intelligence: “No”

Black voters helped build this democracy. Now the Supreme Court is allowing Alabama to erase a majority-Black district and strip an entire community of its political voice. This is suppression and Democrats will fight it. nbcnews.com/politics/supreme…
