Ban assault weapons now. Once and for all.
I led the fight to do that in 1994.
Let’s finish the job and ban these assault weapons again.

These 2 minutes made the night for Biden. That’s all he needed to do. He created a little live Reality TV moment that showed his agility and that he is fighting for the American people. #SOTU

Roughly 25% of our total national debt incurred over the last 230 years occurred during the 4 years of the Trump administration. Kev, care to comment?

In the 10 years that the assault weapons ban was on the books, mass shootings went down.
The American people agree: Congress should send this ban to my desk.

Dear what are you doing to address #FloridaFascism Cut off federal funding? Provide college classes online for FL students to access.
Get tough. Y’all in other states all smug - take heed - fascism spreads - FAST
At least now the school libraries are empty, there are more hiding places for our kids from school shooters 🎉

DeSantis isn’t a great guy. But introducing permit-less carry right before the 5 year anniversary of one of the largest school shootings in American history in Parkland is a new low.

It is shocking to see a routine traffic stop escalate into a gut-wrenching on-camera murder by 5 out-of-control police officers. Beyond heartbreaking, not just for Tyre Nichols, his family & loved ones, but for our entire nation.

Adam Schiff announced he is running for Diane Feinstein’s Senate seat in California. So is Katie Porter. Dems have multiple competitive, qualified candidates running and Republicans have career criminals, clowns, and D-list celebrities.

If Prince Harry is right, the royal press relationship is "corrupt" - Andrew Marr
explains why Harry's allegations in "Spare" cannot be dismissed as "tittle-tattle" and the Royal Family must respond.

If it wasn’t written by Zeynep Tufekci I wouldn’t have bothered. And it’s not about Harry, per se, it’s about the corrupt media ecology, and a very corrupt House of Windsor.

This is a great summarization the double standards and vitriolic hate that Harry & Meghan were subjected to. If you don’t follow the royals, this is a brief but excellent summary of what he talks about in his book and why he left.

We interrupt the news about the Monterey Park mass shooting to cover the Half Moon Bay mass shooting.
Because we have lost our fucking minds.
The Second Amendment, like slavery and subjugation of women, was one of our founders’ worst 18th century ideas.
Repeal it.

After Monterey Park & Half Moon Bay, many gun proponents use the argument that Gun Laws don't work, because people use knives. Let's look at the UK last year:
UK - 67 Million People - 489 Gun & Knife Deaths
America - 330 Million People - 40,000 Gun Deaths alone
FACTS MATTER!

On what would have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we’re reminded that progress can move backward. And that means we’ve got to recommit to doing our part to protect and expand reproductive rights for families today — and for generations to come.

Ron DeSantis and his family should be deported to Italy since he hates this country.
They just got here - 1904.
We Black folk don't say it enough, but new arrivals like him can go back to where they are from since they hate it here so much.
Go peddle your racist crap in Italy

DeSantis went from “Don’t say Gay” to also pushing “Don’t say Black”.
He is a racist, bigoted fuck. Thank God I do not have children in the FL public school system.

The reason Ron DeSantis is banning African-American Studies from being taught in Florida is because Ron DeSantis is a shamelessly racist motherfucker who has no business being governor or wielding any power in America.

The odds are mathematically that someone will die because of guns in that house, it’s either the father, the child, or the mom. By suicide, by murder, by accidental discharge.
Factually, that’s the reality. if you add a firearm to your home, you’ve made your family less safe.
