New York: it's hot out there, and the power grid is working overtime to keep us cool.
Set your AC to 78 degrees, turn off lights/electronics you're not using, and unplug what you can.
Our City is doing its part too: maintaining the 78 degrees rule in our buildings, dimming/turning off our lights during peak electricity demand, asking private partners to do the same, and powering down non-essential equipment.
A stable grid means the AC stays on, and lives are saved. Let's ease demand — and get through the heat — together.
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
🚨 @MehekCooke just hit hard with the truth about Sheridan Gorman:
“Sheridan Gorman was not a statistic, she was somebody’s entire world. A freshman who left New York with dreams and never came home.”
This is a gut-punch warning to every parent: Check the school AND the city.
“Progressive” does NOT equal safe.
BREAKING: DHS confirms that the suspect in custody for murdering Loyola University student Sheridan Gorman in Chicago is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught & released at the border by the Biden administration in May 2023. DHS says he was also released from local custody after a shoplifting arrest in the sanctuary city of Chicago on June 19, 2023.
DHS identifies the suspect as Venezuelan national Jose Medina-Medina. Medina-Medina is accused of approaching Gorman while she was walking in a park with friends early Thursday morning.
DHS says Medina-Medina came up to her while wearing a mask and armed with a gun. As she attempted to flee, he fired his gun and shot her. Gorman was shot and pronounced dead at the scene.
DHS statement:
“Sheridan Gorman had her whole life ahead of her before this cold-blooded killer decided to end her life. She was failed by open border policies and sanctuary politicians who RELEASED this illegal alien TWICE before he went on to commit this heinous murder,” said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “We are calling on Governor Pritzker and Chicago’s sanctuary politicians to commit to not releasing this criminal illegal alien from jail back into American neighborhoods.”
As a student at Loyola, I lived in Lakefront Hall, just steps from Loyola Beach. Hundreds of Loyola undergrads walk along Lake Michigan EVERY DAY. Sheridan was out with her friends trying to see the Northern Lights. She was in the RIGHT place, where she had a RIGHT to her safety.
🚨 An illegal immigrant with a previous criminal record in Chicago (released, of course) is now accused of the infuriating, senseless murder of an innocent college freshman named Sheridan Gorman. “Sanctuary” polices and politicians strike again. How many more, Democrats?
UPDATED: The migrant being questioned about the murder of Loyola freshman Sheridan Gorman has been AWOL from a court case since 2023. At the time, he lived in a migrant shelter at Leone Beach Park, just north of Loyola Beach, where the murder occurred.

Just to be clear, Democrats are preventing TSA agents from getting paid, and leaving you in hours-long lines, all to keep killers and rapists who are murdering our young women in this country
