If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asked whether society should pay for the health care of Americans who eat doughnuts or smoke when they know those habits can contribute to poor health outcomes."
RFK Jr.: If you eat doughnuts or smoke, should society pay for your health care?
Kennedy went on to say that it is an American’s choice to “eat donuts all day” or drink sodas, and he promised not to take those choices away.

A chilling analysis of Trump's tariff goals...
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
