For anyone wondering how life has been for us after losing a huge part of our world. This is the perfect picture… Jazmin having her birthday lunch with her little sister. I always hear “ I can’t imagine” oh but yes you can ”imagine” you just don’t want to💔@RyanGuillen #21For21

In my upcoming J&J baby powder investigation, I look at how cosmetics are regulated compared to other consumer products. Bottom line: it’s still up to companies to say a cosmetic is safe before it hits shelves. Story @ 8 PM Sunday #TheWholeStory

This isn't new. The lawsuit was filed in December. The only thing that happened today was that the court met and essentially forced the two sides to try to come to some sort of agreement.

This is the bill survivors recently waited over 13 hours to testify on. And the committee wants to just let it die quietly, without even holding a vote? Well it may die but it’s not going to be quiet, we can promise you that. #txlege

Heartbreaking testimony from a Uvalde family. Please listen to Kim Rubio, mother of Lexi who testified before Texas legislators about gun reform. The families were forced to wait some 13 hours while representatives were on the house floor debating other issues. @LivesRobbed

This has been an every Tuesday scene for the past few months. Drive up, turn around and make it home in time for my sons baseball. It’s exhausting, but the change will be worth it. It may not be this year or next, but change will happen and lives will be saved.

These 11 months without you have been the hardest thing we have had to endure. I wake up every morning expecting you to yell at me from your room saying your hungry but every morning I wake up to this nightmare. We miss you so much Tess. Our family is forever broken.

Its been extremely difficult for Uvalde to find an assistant chief. Something the Mayor wanted after the horrific response to the Robb shooting. A lieutenant was acting chief on day of shooting. The mayor as our reporting showed raised serious concerns over his actions that day.

Kim Rubio speaks for the country -- the horror of losing her child and her courage in speaking about it to a legislature with deadened hearts, is moving beyond compare.

New from CNN’s John Miller on Louisville shooter: The shooter left notes revealing that part of his goal was to show how easy it was in America for someone dealing with a serious mental illness to go out and buy an assault weapon. The AR-15 rifle was purchased 7 days before.

The TX legislature’s indifference to Uvalde families, making them wait all day hoping they’d give up and go home, is cruel beyond belief to those suffering the greatest losses imaginable. It was also pointless. As though any parent wouldn’t do all this and more for their kids.

Watching your humanity be a tradeoff people make is so painful. It’s just the most painful thing. Solidarity and love to the families of Uvalde. You did not go home and many of us will carry the injustices done to you in our hearts.

This is not okay. At a minimum, the Uvalde families deserve utmost respect, priority, and due attention by lawmakers.

Bye, Twitter. 🥺 The tipping point was having to pay for verification, when we feel we add a lot of value. We also feel solidarity with NPR, and share concerns about Twitter’s direction. You can find us on the blog and TikTok. If we join another platform, we’ll send word here. 🫡

We dont want any other families to endure this kind of pain. A pain that never goes away, a pain that you have to see on other families who are going thru the same thing. Please & committee members move HB 2744 to the house floor. Let’s raise the age, remember our 21

They made them wait 13 hours. I want to know what was on their agenda that day that was more important than this.
