It’s Monday. “The House of the Dragon” has returned on HBO, so if you notice an uptick in throne and succession references, you’re not imagining it. 😉 Here’s what’s happening today:

• Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is planning a vote to reinstate the bump stock ban after the Supreme Court invalidated it.
• Former House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (Calif.) put her successor, Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), in a tough spot when it comes to Israel.
• Kate, the Princess of Wales, made her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis. Keep scrolling for photos — she looks great!
• The surgeon general thinks a warning label should be put on social media. Yes, like the warning label on tobacco and alcohol.

“Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has fanned the flames of the internal Democratic battle over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coming speech to Congress, questioning the wisdom of the invitation just days after it was endorsed by Democratic leaders in both chambers,” reports The Hill’s Mike Lillis.

How Pelosi has handled her criticism: She aired them on national television, telling CNN that it was “wrong” to invite Netanyahu.

How this has played out: Rank-and-file Democrats are annoyed with Pelosi. She’s not in leadership anymore, but she has a lot of influence. Publicly deviating from her successor, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), has only made it harder for him to navigate the debate.

Keep in mind: Pelosi has clashed with Netanyahu for years.

The New York Times reports that Netanyahu “has dissolved his war cabinet, an Israeli official said Monday, after the departures of two key members prompted demands from far-right politicians for representation in the influential group.”

Why did they quit?: Disagreements over the war in Gaza

Last week, the Supreme Court invalidated a national ban on bump stocks, devices that allow semi-automatic weapons to fire much more rapidly. Well, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is planning to bring up a vote next week to reinstate the Trump-era ban, arguing that legislation is the “only way to permanently close this loophole.” (The Hill)

The chatter of who will become former President Trump’s vice-presidential running mate has been the talk of the campaign world. The Hill’s Jared Gans reports that Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) name has risen to the top of the shortlist.

A former Rubio aide noted that personal attacks between Trump and Rubio from the 2016 campaign — when Trump mockingly called him “little Marco” — were a while ago and the pair have worked on a variety of “substantive” issues since then. 

There’s a complication with Rubio, though: The 12th Amendment of the Constitution does not allow a president and vice president to be from the same state. If Rubio is chosen, he would likely have to change his residence.

Other names rumored to be on Trump’s shortlist: Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum (R).

21 percent of independent voters say they are *less* likely to vote for Trump after his conviction, according to a new Politico/Ipsos survey.

Kate, the Princess of Wales, made her first public appearance over the weekend. She attended the birthday celebration for her father-in-law, King Charles III. I am obsessed with her dress.

How is she doing?: She posted a statement on Friday, saying that she is “making good progress,” but said she has “good days and bad days” from chemotherapy. She also said she will attend “a few public engagements over the summer.” Read her full statement

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy thinks so. He wrote an op-ed in The New York Times that has been shared all over my news feeds this morning.

Why?: To warn users that social media has been linked to mental health risks for adolescents

Excerpt: “The mental health crisis among young people is an emergency — and social media has emerged as an important contributor. Adolescents who spend more than three hours a day on social media face double the risk of anxiety and depression symptoms, and the average daily use in this age group, as of the summer of 2023, was 4.8 hours. Additionally, nearly half of adolescents say social media makes them feel worse about their bodies.”

🍔 Uh, senator. The, uh, burger: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) posted a photo of him grilling. His post: “Our family has lived in an apartment building for all our years, but my daughter and her wife just bought a house with a backyard and for the first time we’re having a barbeque with hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill! Father’s Day Heaven!” Well: It appears Schumer put cheese on a raw burger patty. He later deleted the post. 📸 See Schumer’s deleted photo
