Seven years ago today, 17 people were killed and 17 were injured at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

This senseless shooting inspired young people across the country to demand improved gun laws. The #Parkland17 deserved better, and we keep fighting every day in their honor.

As @giffords.org's Lindsay Nichols said, “the job of law enforcement has never been harder." You can't have a cooler but can carry gun this weekend in NOLA!
New Orleans is part of a growing list of cities hamstrung by state legislatures hostile to gun regulation. Local police and officials have tried to find workarounds to protect citizens.

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Meals on Wheels America spox on OMB pause:

"the uncertainty right now is creating chaos for local Meals on Wheels providers not knowing whether they should be serving meals today. Which unfortunately means seniors will panic not knowing where their next meals will come from."
