A horribly bloody weekend in the United States of America, the Lee starts now.

At least 10 mass shootings in just one weekend in the United States.

10 graduation parties to popular night spots are our elected leaders.

Doing anything, try to stop the party.

Plus, the credibility of the leader of a major US ally called into question.

Years of scandal, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson's political fate now comes down to a secret vote.

Results do any minute will determine whether he survives.

And more shipments of baby formula on the way, but so many US parents desperately want to know

where is all this formula going and how do I get some?

Welcome to the lead I'm Jake Tapper and we start today with our national lead in what seems to be growing optimism among negotiators in the US Senate that some kind of deal on guns can be reached as the United States reels from yet another horrific weekend of gun violence.

Now it's not clear exactly what this compromise on Capitol Hill might look like, whether it includes increased background checks or new mental health provisions and funding or encouraging states to enact red flag laws or all of the above or none of the above, but one of the lead Democratic negotiators, Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut told me this yesterday.

I've never been part of negotiations as serious as these.

There are more Republicans at the table talking about changing our gun laws and investing in mental health than at any time since Sandy Hook.

Now, I've also been part of many failed negotiations in the past.

So I am so reminded about our chances for too many Americans, a possible deal cannot come soon enough.

CNN has confirmed at least 10 mass shootings in the US over the weekend from Phoenix, Arizona to Saginaw, Michigan to Chesterfield, Virginia to Philadelphia under a mile from where I grew up at least 14 people killed in total more than 60 others injured.

So many of these victims are folks just in the wrong place at the wrong time who went to a mall or a restaurant for dinner or out to celebrate a 22nd birthday birthday.

Only to have their names added to the terrifyingly frequent sickening American statistics for gun violence victims.

CNN's Alexander Field starts off our coverage today with what local leaders say needs to happen next to keep communities safe.

This is going to be a long hot summer across America, mass shootings at nightclubs and malls graduation parties, even funerals all in a single weekend.

We will do as mayors, what we have to do to keep our people safe, but we could sure use some help at the federal level.

The mayor of Chad Newgit Tennessee urging lawmakers to act after nightclub shooting there left 14 people injured and three killed early Sunday morning, the second mass shooting in that city in just two weeks.
