Less than 48 hours after Donald Trump shut down the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention, we have yet another school shooting here in Nashville.
We should not have to live like this.

For me, the saddest part of January 6th will never be the insurrection itself.
It's that after enough time passed, the GOP went right back to Trump and doubled down on his hate, anger, and lies.
America could've moved forward. Instead, we are stuck here.

12 years after Sandy Hook, it is important to remind people that Gen-Z has grown up watching people our age getting slaughtered in schools and then practicing drills in case it happens to us.
To win Gen-Z, gun violence prevention should be on the top of every Democrat's agenda.

Truly shameful politicians. Neither will be missed in the Senate.
BREAKING: Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have cast decisive votes against Biden's NLRB nominee. This means the Democrats will not secure control of the national labor regulator through 2026. These two Senators effectively handed Trump control of the board when his term begins.

I can understand frustration about the Hunter Biden pardon, but if you are more concerned about the threat Joe Biden poses to the justice system than Kash Patel, you are disillusioned.
