It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot.
It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place.
Ban assault weapons again now.

#BlueSkyVets You’d have to live the life of a service member to fully understand…
The purpose of this day is not festive but, one of honor and self-sacrifice.
For me, I carry the memory of fifty-nine souls lost in seventeen combat tours.
Please, help me honor their sacrifice… #ProudBlueVets

While speaking to the West Point graduating class, Trump said, "No one wanted to join the military under Biden".
Everyone in that graduating class started their training during the Biden administration.

If you still order from Amazon, you probably noticed the bump in prices.
Folks are starting to see the proof in their own lives. Trump’s tariffs aren’t “making China pay”—they’re making us pay.

Trump voters think it’s ok for strangers to hit children, so they’re bringing back corporal punishment to institutions of learning. I think it’s ok to hit adults who think children can take a hit.

Chief Judge Boasberg's probable cause ruling is *not* an appealable order.
DOJ can ask the D.C. Circuit for an extraordinary writ of mandamus, but that requires showing that the district court ruling both (1) was clearly wrong; and (2) is not otherwise capable of being remedied on a future appeal.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.
Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.
