BREAKING: Bernie Sanders & Ilhan Omar are preparing to introduce a new bill that offers free school meals to ALL children, regardless of their parents' income level. Details:

- The bill aims to offer free breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack to all students from preschool to high school.

- The federal program would restore a system where 30 million kids a day received free meals.

- Studies have shown that free school meals improve attendance rates, health, academic performance, and reduce behavioral problems.

Growing up I remember certain kids would get tickets that they could then use to get free lunch. The problem was that other kids knew who got free lunch, embarrassing those whose parents could afford for them to pay or bring a lunch

I 100% support this idea. I really want to hear if anyone has a problem with this likely bill.

BREAKING: Governor Jay Inslee of Washington just signed a bill that will ban assault weapons sales in the state. The law, which passed the House 56-42 last week, also bans the distribution and manufacturing of these weapons.

There are over 4 dozen firearms on the list of banned guns. The ban also covers semiautomatic rifles that are fewer than 30 inches long. Additionally specific hand grips and thumbhole stocks are banned.

I believe this is a good first step, but a national ban in my opinion would work much better at deterring the use of these weapons.

BREAKING: Today in the Tennessee State Capitol, expelled / reinstated Democrat Rep. Justin Jones and Bishop William Barber II brought a child-sized coffin into the building to stand up for the children dying from gun violence. Jones was not permitted to bring the coffin onto the floor. That doesn’t matter though because now most of Twitter will see it.

Thank you Rep. Jones for standing up for our children!

Maddie Neal (15) went missing from her home on March 24, 2023 in Rhea County, Tennessee. She was last seen in bed on Friday morning at 6am. When her mom returned home from work, she was gone. An older white Ford quad cab dually was seen parked near her house that day. Authorities are looking into it. She could be in a lot of danger. Please share. #Missing #missingchild

This week tens of millions of Americans are about to experience one of the coldest days of their life.

Wind chills as cold as -70F in Wyoming and Montana, negative wind chills as far south Austin, Texas, and even single-digit wind chills in the Florida Panhandle.

Deadly cold.
