        Amazing. @SpeakerRyan turns off House cameras, so @cspan airs Periscope/FB streams of @repjohnlewis sit-in protest! http://www.c-span.org/video/?411624-1/watch-house-democrats-continue-house-sitin-gun-violence …

        Meanwhile, the Senate votes again today to warrantlessly monitor your web activities, expand PATRIOT Act. Stop them. http://www.decidethefuture.org

        Fascinating politics going down: Senate vote on warrantless web surveillance, House sit-in protest on gun violence, EU referendum (Brexit).

        What's discouraging is that everyone, on both sides, is peddling fundamentally flawed legislation, even when I agree with the spirit of it.

        Better gun control? Needed. The sit-in? Significant. This "no fly" gun bill? A frustrating "civil rights disaster."http://gawker.com/the-democrats-are-boldly-fighting-for-a-bad-stupid-bil-1782449026 …

        Can't improve immigration because #SCOTUS is 4-4 and Senate won't consider nominee. House won't even vote on gun control bills. Also, Trump.
