The night before, progressive candidate Zohran Mamdani had all but clinched the party's nomination for New York mayor — triggering fears by moderates that national Democrats might veer toward socialism. Over crispy artichokes, shrimp and salmon, Democratic National Committee Chairman Ken Martin sought to reassure them.

Jennifer Lawrence Offers a Much-Needed Guide to Heatwave Dressing
New York City is currently experiencing a record-breaking heatwave, and Jennifer Lawrence used her outfit to issue something of a fashion-meets-function PSA. Today, the actor braved the nearly-triple-digit temperatures in a well considered, heat-friendly outfit. Lawrence wore an oversized vintage graphic T-shirt that bore a prescient reminder ('RECYCLE') and a drawing of the planet. Lawrence kept the white color palette for her bottoms: a cream silk slip mini layered over a sheer white lace-hemmed midi skirt. EXCLUSIVE New York, NY Jennifer Lawrence was spotted heading to a business meeting in Midtown NYC, effortlessly stylish in a Ralph Lauren hat, recycled t-shirt, and her favorite red handbag. She paired the look with leather sandals, adding a touch of casual Jennifer LawrenceBACKGRID USA 25 JUNE 2025 BYLINE MUST READ: Diamond / BACKGRIDUSA: +1 310 798 9111 / usasales@ +44 208 344 2007 / uksales@ Clients - Pictures Containing ChildrenPlease Pixelate Face Prior To Publication MMVV Lawrence's accessorizing was also strategic. She shielded her face from the sun with a white Ralph Lauren baseball cap, paired with rectangular tortoiseshell sunglasses, and wore a pair of brown leather slides with a double strap and a toe-loop. Always fond of a statement bag, the actor packed all of her essentials into a poppy-red Hermès Clemence Victoria. (She's particularly fond of the French house's underrated bags, also counting a burgundy alligator Bolide among her collection.) Consider taking a page out of Jennifer Lawrence's book when dressing for extreme heat: sun-repelling white, loose layers, lightweight fabrics, and lots of sun protection reign supreme!

4 charged with hate crimes for destroying LGBTQ+ pride flags, Atlanta police say
Atlanta police said Tuesday they're charging three men and a juvenile with hate crimes after they pulled down LGBTQ+ pride flags and cut them up at an intersection known as the center of the city's LGBTQ+ community. Police say they got calls at 1:40 a.m. Tuesday morning that six males were causing a disturbance near the corner of Piedmont Avenue and 10th Street, an intersection in the city's Midtown neighborhood that is painted with rainbow crosswalks to honor its importance in Atlanta's LGBTQ+ community. The men coordinated their plan and drove to Atlanta from their locations northwest of the city, police said. Officers are still looking for two of the six people who they believe took part. Investigators said they found the people pulling down flags outside Blake's on the Park, a bar near the intersection, cutting them up with a knife and taking videos of what they were doing. The males fled from police on motorized scooters, investigators said, with officers catching and arresting four of them. Two 18-year-olds and a 17-year-old from Dallas, Georgia, were taken into custody, in addition to a 16-year-old from Taylorsville. Police said all four were also charged with obstruction, criminal damage to property, conspiracy, and prowling. Georgia is one of three states where 17-year-old suspects are automatically charged as adults. Police said they have also cited the 16-year-old's father for failing to supervise his son. Georgia's hate crime law, passed in 2020, allows a court to impose additional prison time or fines when a judge or jury finds that a crime was motivated by the victim's race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation or other characteristics. A phone call Tuesday to the bar, in operation since 1988, went unanswered. The arrests come at the end of what is marked as Pride Month in many places, although Atlanta's main festival is held in October. In 2022, police arrested a man who they said had twice painted swastikas on the rainbow crosswalks. The crosswalks were first painted in 2015 and were made permanent in 2017 to memorialize the 49 people who were killed in the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida. In October, a Fulton County grand jury indicted a Pennsylvania man, saying he had vandalized booths and defecated on a pride flag at a Global Black Pride event in Atlanta in August.
