WATCH: “…it wasn't mental health that killed these people, it was an automatic rifle. I'm a gun lover. I have guns. I'm a former police officer. I’m a former Army officer ... prayers won't bring these people back. We need action in our legislatures.”

If you are calling for your elected officials to do something about gun violence….you are not politicizing…you are worried about your family and your safety. Refusal to act because you are scared of your base or the NRA is …politicizing…worrying about your own political… Show more

"The people politicizing tragedy here are not the people calling for change," says @jrpsaki.
"Refusing to support common sense gun reform measures because you fear losing your A rating with the NRA is politicizing tragedy."

We just learned we created 253,000 jobs in April.
That's 12.7 million jobs since I took office, an unemployment rate that is the lowest since 1969, and the highest share of working age people in the workforce since 2008.
My plan to invest in America is working.

We're lucky to have this Governor to veto this monster abortion ban. And despite their cries to the contrary, it *is* a ban.

This bill has nothing to do with making women safer, and everything to do with banning their reproductive freedom.

The impacts of this ban will be devastating: it will force North Carolinians to travel out-of-state for basic health care and effectively shut down a crucial abortion care access point in the South for out-of-state patients.

Didn't know this - Rep. Clyburn said on Sirius XM he met Barbara Lee on Shirley Chisholm's campaign

I’ve announced a $50K reward for info on the criminal who killed 5 illegal immigrants Friday. Also directed #OperationLoneStar to be on the lookout.
I continue working with state & local officials to ensure all available resources are deployed to respond.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
At least one of the dead was a legal resident of the US

The victims were:
