We’ve wounded an entire generation with our gun madness. What gives me hope is that they’re starting to reach voting age.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The US has a gun homicide rate 26x that of peer nations and a gun suicide rate nearly 12x that of peer nations. Guns are also the #1 killer of children and teens in this country. Gun violence is a public health crisis—and the head of the Department of Health & Human Services should treat it as such.

These students are making such a difference! Their passion, knowledge and willingness to show up is impressive, especially when you consider the levels of gun violence they've been exposed to in their short lives. Big fan. #studentsdemandaction
