This is outrageous and unacceptable. Speaker Johnson makes clear that the GOP is planning to gut Medicaid and Social Security — programs millions of Americans depend on.
73 million seniors, disabled Americans & families are watching. We must stand up for them. This is a fight to protect the benefits seniors have earned through a lifetime of hard work.
NYC, the Knicks are heating up and so are we.
The heat index may hit 100 degrees today and tomorrow. We may also see severe thunderstorms, heavy downpours, and winds strong enough to down trees and power lines.
These conditions are extremely dangerous.
Here’s how to keep you and your neighbors safe:
Seek air-conditioning. The City is activating hundreds of free, public cooling centers across the city. Find one nearest you, including accessible and pet-friendly options, by visiting https://t.co/Iqa7gXBq7R or by calling 311.
Recognize the signs of heat illness. Call 911 immediately if you or someone you know has hot dry skin, trouble breathing, rapid heartbeat, confusion, disorientation, dizziness, nausea, or vomiting.
Call 311 if you see a homeless neighbor in need of assistance. Outreach teams are activated citywide to help connect vulnerable neighbors with safe, cool spaces.
If storms hit, go indoors. Use caution while traveling. Stay out of basement apartments.
Drink lots of water. Wear sunscreen. And check in on your neighbors.
As always, sign up for emergency alerts: text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692.
🚨SURGING: Democratic Iowa Senate candidate and two-time Paralympic gold medalist Josh Turek is now TIED with his Republican opponent in a new poll.
While Republicans ran from town halls, Josh dragged his wheelchair up flights of stairs to meet voters.
He's going to win. LFG.
MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way?
PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.
"When I saw my name on Trump’s newest enemies list, the absolute last thing I was going to do was the same thing all of those other cowards did by folding to Trump, getting themselves out of trouble, and not thinking about the effect it was having on everyone else. I have an opportunity here - in my small corner of the internet - to walk the walk, instead of just talking the talk. So if Trump wants to come after me and content creators, go for it. We’ll be even louder than before. If this self-proclaimed free speech champion wants to clamp down on my right to speak out against him, then I’ll do it twice as loud. And if me doing so gives a permission structure for the next person to fight back instead of capitulate, then I’ve done my job."

The constitution of Iowa requires that a person be a resident of the state for at least two years prior before they can be elected as Governor.
This leaves Democrat Rob Sand as the only eligible candidate on the ballot.
BREAKING: Scott Pelley Just Made A Pretty Stunning Allegation.
According to Pelley, CBS leadership wanted a story about the killing of ICE protester Renée Good changed to better match Trump's version of events.
Pelley says he was told management wanted protesters portrayed as more violent and wanted Good described as driving toward the officer who shot her. He says the video evidence showed otherwise.
Then came the admission.
"There was a thumb on the scale for the president's version of events."
A veteran journalist with 37 years at CBS is alleging political pressure was applied to change the facts of a story.
That's a remarkable accusation.
