Description

A Texas man faces federal penalties after the TSA says he tried to pass through security at JFK Airport with a loaded gun on Friday. In other news, New York City’s heat emergency plan is now deactivated, but officials continue to monitor for health and safety impacts from the recent heat wave. Plus, Tuesday is primary election day in New York. Voters will weigh in on a number of races, including congressional and state legislative contests. As the general election in November approaches, WNYC is using laundromats across the New York metro area as hubs of civic engagement to understand what matters to people as they prepare to head to the polls. WNYC’s Janae Pierre speaks with George Bodarky, head of our Community Partnerships Desk, to share insights from the latest edition of “Suds and Civics.” And finally, as part of Pride Month, WNYC is highlighting LGBTQ+ voices in New York City. Meet Sam Grasland of Manhattan.
