President Trump said nothing about Juneteenth this year. There was no formal White House statement, just a social media post complaining about "non-working holidays" costing the country "$BILLIONS OF DOLLARS."

Uncharted territory: Trump is refusing to comply with a federal court’s order, setting up a possible constitutional crisis. Anyone remember your “checks & balances” lecture from high school civics? What happens if the newly-immune President ignores the other branches? www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-d...
Judge directs Trump officials to comply with earlier order halting funding freeze
A group of 22 states and the District of Columbia said the Trump administration was not complying with a judge's order blocking its freeze on federal assistance.

I am sick to my stomach reading about this. A helicopter collided mid-air with an American Airlines flight that was landing at Reagan National Airport in DC. Limited information at this time. 🙏🏽 www.cbsnews.com/news/crash-r...

Mayor Adams poking fun, taking a picture with a protestor at his Queens town hall tonight. The man is holding a sign that says “RESIGN.” @cbsnewyork.bsky.social

Odd message from Tik Tok, given it was Trump who wanted it banned in the first place.

Mayor Eric Adams traveled to Mar-a-Lago to speak with Trump, but says they didn't talk about Adams' federal indictment.

I just watched an incredibly disturbing video showing a man getting randomly pushed in front of an oncoming subway train today in Chelsea.

Please, please when the train is pulling in, look up from your phone. Put your head on a swivel and if possible, put your back against the wall or a pole.

Let’s put a moratorium on social media fitness influencers under the age of 25. I ate literally whatever I wanted and never gained a pound at that age. Talk to me when you still have abs over 40. 👍🏽

Maybe take a beat and think before hitting send on that post, that will stay online forever, heaping praise on an accused murderer. Just something to consider!
