A message for JD Vance and anyone else in this Administration that is pretending they care about the safety of our kids.
They don’t. All they care about is the political approval and profits of the gun industry. And they show it every day.

Trump is rooting for a shutdown. He knows he has created a huge problem because now any budget deal with Republicans isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. He’s not even pretending to follow the law.
President Donald Trump has notified Congress he is moving to cancel $4.9 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid using a rare “pocket rescission,” drawing criticism from Democrats and at least one top Republican senator who questioned the legality of the move.

Last night @andersoncooper asked me whether we could pass any laws making our children safer.
I gave him an honest answer. So long as Trump and congressional Republicans are in the pocket of the gun lobby, there's not a chance.

Give us a break. The only action you guys have taken is to weaken gun laws, allowing scores of criminals to get guns; shut down funding for anti-violence programs in our cities; close the Office of Gun Violence Prevention.
You've taken action - and it's gotten people killed.

There is something deeply wrong with a country that chooses to make running for their lives part of kids’ back to school ritual.
When we finally passed a gun safety bill in 2022, mass shooting began to drop.
But it was an unacceptably small start. We must do more.
