💔😭🕯⚡️Update: 4 dead, 27 injured after Russian airstrike on Sumy. A 5-year-old girl and her mother are among the victims who died in Russia's attack, authorities in Sumy said. Six guided aerial bombs struck a busy residential neighborhood on July 3. Several children are among the wounded.

Today’s Parade of Sail on the Hudson River was stunning. I’m so proud to be the Mayor of New York City — our nation’s first capital — and to be celebrating America’s 250th anniversary on its historic shores.

Climate action without forest protection is a lie. The Amazon + Congo Basin are non-negotiable. First to RT if you’re with me: NO to deforestation, NO to ecocide.

Vozinha, Cape Verde’s 40-year-old goalkeeping hero, now has more Instagram followers than all active NFL, MLB and NHL athletes, and all but three NBA players 🤯 The power of the World Cup is unmatched 🇨🇻

Our remaining forests in the Amazon and the Congo Basin are the ultimate defense line against climate change. Allowing their destruction isn't just local negligence,it’s global ecocide. We must demand environmental sustainability now.

In case you haven't seen this today.

Happy Fourth of July, New York City

guys I love you I do but I need you to get so real about setting your ACs to 78. This is asked of Angelenos every single year when temps go up. 78 inside is perfectly fine if it keeps power grids stable for the rest of the city. Let’s pretend we’re a community for a few days

I assumed everyone knew this was predicted to occur when they sacked 50% of the NOAA staff and started canceling weather balloons that collect data last year; but if not. 👇

This is amazing! 😻 $750,000 in the FY2027 budget, specifically to help pet owners who can't afford food for their animals. Another $750,000 goes toward affordable spay/neuter services. $1.5 million total, aimed at keeping people and their pets together"

It seems like someone is trying to send a message.

Most of us, the working class, have been systematically robbed for decades, and it's now reaching a boiling point, just like our planet is. And those two things are very much connected.

This is in Jackson, Mississippi. Not Seattle, or Los Angeles, or Manhattan, or San Francisco. This is in Jackson, Mississippi. The pendulum swings.

The stage is falling apart at the rehearsal for Freedom 250's July 4th celebration.

⚡️Ukraine urgently requests nearly 40 allies for Patriot interceptor missiles. Ukraine states that Patriot missiles are already available in the stockpiles of partner countries and urged nearly 40 countries to transfer them in July following one of Russia's largest attacks on Kyiv.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Did you know that the Fourth of July fireworks could put a dog through this much fear and anxiety? 😔 When choosing how to celebrate, keep in mind that it should be fun for everyone, no matter the species!

I have a little favour to ask. If anyone has read Cold Blooded but hasn't reviewed it on Amazon, I'd really appreciate any review. I need two more reviews so I can apply for something exciting. Thanking the universe and the awesome folks out there in advance 🙌

If Susan Collins could find time to break the STOCK Act 25 times, you’d think she could have found a free evening sometime this century to hold a single town hall.

For all those complaining about the upcoming wedding of Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce, remember they are hardworking individuals. They have the freedom to plan their wedding as they see fit. Importantly, they have donated $26 million to New York charities this week. Here’s a list of those charities:

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

“Interfaith leaders and activists prayed, delivered a meditative chant and tied chains of multicolored origami cranes to the facility’s 10-foot chain-link fence topped with razor wire. The paper cranes were folded by Japanese American concentration camp survivors and their descendants.”

Infinite growth on a finite planet is a physical impossibility.

Didn’t see this coming. Another Senate race to watch closely. Lindsey Graham spent years acting like South Carolina belonged to him. The voters might have other plans. Dr. Annie Andrews is at 45%, and among informed voters, she leads Graham 46% to 43%.

Gov. Jared Polis passed over other deserving inmates to give clemency to Tina Peters, according to two members of his clemency board who revealed Polis overruled the unanimous recommendation of his experts. Polis has now fired both of them.

BP execs were deeply involved in shaping a highly influential climate science paper. The authors not only discussed ideas with the oil company but, in a departure from academic norms, passed drafts back and forth and welcomed extensive feedback.

NEW: Federal immigration officials have detained more than 10,000 people in the last 5 days, a major surge that has stemmed from a push at ICE to increase arrests. The WH has wanted more arrests. The expectation inside ICE is 2K arrests a day. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Susan Collins has racked up tens of thousands in sponsored luxury travel ahead of her brutal battle for reelection in November. Collins took five luxury vacations paid for by private special interests during her fifth term in the Senate, according to documents reviewed by the Daily Beast.

Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Two people in a Volkswagen Beetle died after the massive battery-powered truck struck them at a highway intersection in Nevada, not far from the factory that builds it.

NYC, this is a reminder that our Olympic — and intermediate — sized outdoor pools will stay open until 8:30 PM. That's a 1/2 hour longer than prior heat wave extensions and 1.5 hours longer than normal operating days. Stay cool. Stay informed. Together, we will get through this historic heat wave.
