Veterans are far more likely to die by firearm suicide than the average American, yet this bill removes safeguards from the background check system with no regard for their safety. I stand with my colleagues against this dangerous change.
Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.
Our democracy didn't become more inclusive by accident. It became stronger because people organized, marched, and demanded equal access to the ballot box. The fight for voting rights did not begin with this court and it will not end with this decision. youtu.be/lW0us5Zzjl0

Hassett on American consumers: "Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."
Look I'm no political strategist but it seems to me that when the President's chief financial advisor is going around gleefully talking about how great it is that everyone's spending more on things and that credit card spending is up, that would be useful for opposition political messaging...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
It's almost as if none of them are taking this seriously either.

Maher Tarabishi was detained in October during a scheduled check-in at an ICE facility. He was the primary caretaker of his son, who died last week. The family is seeking Maher's release so he can attend his son's funeral. ICE reportedly denied the request. Unimaginable cruelty.

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps. If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats. This is a blatant, racist power grab.

A U.S. citizen who was arrested for filming an ICE raid at Home Depot is suing the federal government for $1 million— and I hope he gets every penny. THIS‼️ When being transported, Garcia heard agents boasting about how many ‘bodies’ they had gotten that day and saw them celebrate with high fives.
Ossoff: We usually get this, which specifies how many folks you intend to employ. What we have is a 26-page PowerPoint. Here, it specifies about $17 billion in cuts to medical services. Who are you cutting? Collins: We’ll have more information as we go forward.
No public official, including Members of Congress, the President, or the Vice President should be able to game the system with crypto schemes. That's why I'm proud to work alongside Senator Schiff on this effort. New markets should remain FAIR.
