Red Flag laws—or Extreme Risk laws—are a crucial, life-saving tool that allow loved ones to intervene and prevent gun violence before it happens. But these laws only save lives if people who need them know they exist, and know how to use them.

It’s true: Young children CAN discharge guns and do so with alarming regularity. In fact, preschoolers age five and younger are the second-largest age group who are most likely to unintentionally shoot themselves or others.

Several women who survived abuse by Jeffrey Epstein came together for a powerful PSA video demanding that Congress release all files on the accused sex trafficker.
“While we are Epstein and Maxwell survivors, we are standing for so many victims of sexual assault and of domestic violence, as well.”

In all 50 states, people are allowed to carry hidden, loaded guns in public, and states make their own decisions about who can do so. But the Concealed Carry Mandate that House Republicans are pushing would undo those decisions and trample states’ rights.
Congress Is Trying to Pass a Dangerous Federal Concealed Carry Mandate. Here’s How We Can Stop It.
A federal concealed carry mandate, aka concealed carry reciprocity, would gut existing gun laws, override states’ rights, and jeopardize public safety. What you need to know about H.R. 38 and S. 65.

One of the great strengths for state & local candidates is they can point to very specific things they will do for people. This is the challenge for congressional candidates in 2026 — there is not a ton you can credibly promise to accomplish beyond oversight & accountability. /1

Think back to how you felt a year ago when Trump was reelected.
Now think about how you feel after last night's election.
You volunteered. You went to protests. You didn't check out.
You put in the work required for our democracy — and it's paying off.

Today is Day 34 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:
1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.
2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.
3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.
