@lenolovin This new chapter is beautiful

The governor of Virginia - a lifetime NRA member - manages to tweet about the mass shooting at a Chesapeake Walmart without using the words gunman or shooting.

Gun violence is political because NRA lobbyists pay our politicians for their inaction.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Richard Fierro, a U.S. Army veteran, said he "went into combat mode” to tackle the gunman who killed five people on Saturday at Club Q, an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs. He said he was at the nightclub watching a drag show with his family. https://t.co/dIUYMFlyYF

We as a nation have:

-71 days until midterm elections
-53 days until Taylor Swift’s new album drops

Here is a checklist to make sure you'll be prepared:

Florida's Maxwell Frost is the first member of Gen Z to win a primary for the U.S. House. He won the Democratic primary in Florida's 10th District, according to The Associated Press. https://t.co/FXMcEsWjCp

The past week:
- 209 House Republicans vote against abortion rights
- 205 House Republicans vote against protecting interstate travel for reproductive care
- 195 House Republicans vote against protecting contraception access
- 157 House Republicans vote against marriage equality

If you’re a reporter interviewing a lawmaker supporting total abortion bans without exceptions, there’s a whole host of non-abortion follow up questions that should be asked. A few examples:

Americans by and large don't understand how transformative high speed rail would be. There's a direct train from Barcelona, Spain to Paris, France. It takes 6 hours, tops out at almost 200 mph, and costs $40.

Not $400. $40.

That's like NYC to Columbus for the price of a meal.

Both parents of a 2-year-old were killed in Fourth of July parade in Highland Park. Kevin McCarthy, 37, and Irina McCarthy, 35, were separated from their son, Aiden, during the chaos. He will be raised by his grandparents. https://t.co/EUttS6Cj0B

The Parkland Cops ran away. The Buffalo Cop was killed instantly. The 3 Cops at Uvalde were overpowered, then waited 40 min to enter the school.

Veteran Cops repeatedly failed—but we’re supposed to expect Lunch Lady Doris & School Nurse Betty to stop a terrorist with an AR-15.😑

[Mayor Q @QuintonLucasKC]

It’s like the “just have an armed guard” crowd forgot there was an armed guard at the last mass shooting a few days back where grocery shoppers were slaughtered.

Why won’t they just say they don’t want to do anything and that kids are collateral damage of political pandering?

[Natasha ❀ @ndelriego]

This thread will be dedicated to the victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

As a parent, my heart is broken seeing these faces and their ages.

My condolences to their families during this difficult time 🙏🏻

Xavier Lopez, 10. He was a 4th grader at Robb Elementary.

A reminder that in close to six months it will be the 10-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting and since that day Congress has not passed a single piece of gun control legislation.

[ABC News @ABC]

“Why are you here?!"

A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting.

“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”

[Clint Smith @ClintSmithIII]

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way
