I was honored to join my friend @MikeBloomberg as he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from @POTUS. Well deserved!
Today @POTUS awarded our founder, @MikeBloomberg, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. His contributions to government, business, and philanthropy have made an enormous difference to our country and the world - from fighting climate change, to protecting public health, to expanding access to a quality education. Congrats, Mike! 🎉

I #WearOrange to honor the victims and survivors of daily gun violence. I’m a member of #MayorsAgainstIllegalGuns to fight to end the gun violence crisis. Today I’m saying "Enough is Enough." The time for the US Senate to take bold action on gun safety is NOW!
