Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.

Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.

When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

[Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari @RepYassAnsari]

Today’s closed-door interview with Pam Bondi confirmed: Donald Trump has weaponized the DOJ and Republicans have enabled the most egregious cover up in American history. It’s absurd.

We won’t stop fighting until we get the truth and deliver justice for the courageous survivors.

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

Trump didn’t just pardon his followers who stormed the U.S. Capitol.

He’s now set them up for payments through a slush fund he created to reward his allies—out of your tax dollars.

You could not make this up.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting.

It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads.

Don't let this White House insult your intelligence by blowing your money on war, then saying America can't afford nice things.

The White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting is getting far more coverage than a school shooting. That is both sad and pathetic.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Amazing how quickly “gun violence” matters when there’s a golden ballroom attached to it, but not when it’s children sitting in class.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

I just can’t imagine wanting an entire secure ballroom for one man and not wanting gun reform for every child in America.

[Scott MacFarlane @MacFarlaneNews]

About last night’s scrambling from gun fire at White House reporters dinner ..

Rep Jamie Raskin (D-MD) makes a critical point on CNN:

“This is happening in schools across the country.. the kids have no resources to process their trauma”

[Andrew Weinstein @Weinsteinlaw]

Nine people were injured in a mass shooting near Indiana University last night, but you might not have heard about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

If you were horrified last night watching our elected leaders run and scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed.

Now, becomes a part of the solution and only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

[Rep. Melanie Stansbury @Rep_Stansbury]

Today, we are honoring and remembering Virginia Roberts Giuffre on the one-year anniversary of her passing. It is her courage and commitment to truth and accountability that has allowed countless survivors to be seen, to be heard, and to be believed. Sending so much love to her family and loved ones on this difficult day—and to all the survivors out there still on this journey for justice. ❤️

[Kerry Kennedy @KerryKennedyRFK]

A loud bang of gun shots, then “Get down, get down, get down!”

I hit the floor at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner mid conversation with Jamie @RepRaskin, who heroically protected me, whispering, “You’re ok, you’re ok, you’re ok,” while my host from the @BostonGlobe laid on the ground while furiously taking notes, and thousands of journalists, photographers, and editors took cover under tables and beneath chairs.

Then the doors burst open, and scores of Secret Service agents rushed into the room, many with hands on holsters.

They rushed for cabinet secretaries and pulled them to safety.

Then security started yelling, “Go, go, go,” demanding that we leave.

It was terrifying. But I am still grateful to the brave Secret Service, to my friends at the @BostonGlobe, and most especially to Jamie @RepRaskin.

MIT students got bored on a Saturday night and turned an entire building into a playable game of Tetris, rigging every window with LEDs at midnight.

These kids are going to run the world and we should let them.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

Eight children are gone. This should shake us to our core.

My prayers are with their families, and I am praying for the emotional and physical recovery of the survivors. But we must also respond with urgency. We cannot accept this as normal.

We must do better by our children.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

In just one day, at least 10 children were killed in horrific shootings in Louisiana and North Carolina.

Anybody who knows me knows children have my heart. I am heartbroken for these families and the communities now left to carry this pain. These babies had their whole lives ahead of them, and gun violence stole that from them.

Enough is enough.

[Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett @RepJasmine]

This week is Black Maternal Health Week — and Black women are still being ignored, dismissed, and disrespected, especially during pregnancy and childbirth.

Over 80% of these deaths didn’t have to happen. This is your reminder to listen to Black women.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

The greatest privilege in society is a supportive family and if you're doing the best you can without one, you are the true hero in society.
