The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

Over on Twitter…

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

"Stop asking why schools don't have bulletproof glass and metal detectors at all the doors. Ask why schools have to. That's the question that needs to be asked,” Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes

Congress: If you’re on Twitter, you need to be on BlueSky.

We can be morally outraged by an assassination and at the same time acknowledge that Charlie Kirk’s racism and misogyny were immoral. Whitewashing his behavior and beliefs betrays the collective by masking how we got to this place in America.

Let’s Not Forget Who Charlie Kirk Really Was

The right-wing influencer did not deserve to die, and we shouldn’t forget the many despicable things he said and did.

"Booker can help rebrand his party as less risk-averse and more willing to try … something. He can rebrand himself, just as the old and ineffective guard falters. Booker’s speech was raw and visceral and real and angry. He did something. Now his colleagues and American voters must do more."

Cory Booker’s 25-Hour Speech Was a Stunt. It Worked.

The New Jersey senator’s display of stamina wasn't just for the Democratic base. It was a message to his colleagues in the Senate.

Dems should call for immediate hearings on what caused tonight’s plane crash, including the impact of the removal of FAA safety protocols and personnel.

Trump Guts Key Aviation Safety Committee, Fires Heads Of TSA, Coast Guard

The committee will technically continue to exist, but it won't have any members to carry out the work of examining safety issues at airlines and airports.

Cecile Richards was a warrior for women’s rights, but also incredibly kind and generous with her mentorship and advice. As a former Texan, I revered Cecile and her mother, Ann Richards, and getting to know Cecile was the honor of a lifetime.

As someone who experienced threats and harassment from armed extremists for over a decade, I have empathy for anyone who feels afraid of retaliation for free speech. But at the end of the day, we all must make a choice: back down or double down.

Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?

Going on Sunday shows and spewing consultant speak isn't going to cut it.

Twelve inspectors general fired and there's no sit-in? No filibuster? No direction to voters? And in fact, some of you are actually voting for Trump's agenda?

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

Booker on Strom Thurmond: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here in spite of his speech. I'm here because as poweful as he was, the people were more powerful."

If you are a Democratic member of Congress and you’re trading stock, you are part of the reason millions of voters believe the system isn’t built to help them.
