A simple cost/benefit analysis proves the benefits of attracting quality people into public service jobs vastly outweighs the costs! Tell your legislators it’s time to Fix Tier 6 and bring Tier 5 and 6 pensions to parity with Tier 4. Send your email now. https://t.co/TyCrVUCQFN

You fucking idiots took emails of Hillary Clinton ordering pizza and turned them into a child trafficking scheme, but you’re perfectly fine with Donald Trump being best friends with the most notorious sex trafficker of our time.

Guns are a uniquely American problem.
The rest of the world has mental health issues.
The rest of the world has ideological & philosophical division.
They have social media, pot, porn, cellphones & video games.

What they don’t have — is more guns than people, they don’t have more than 500 mass shootings in less than a year, they don’t have a populace paralyzed with fear that their child will be next. That THEY could be next.

At least, not until they arrive here.

After a British gunman killed 16 people in 1987, the country banned semiautomatic weapons like those he had used. It did the same with most handguns after a 1996 school shooting. It now has one of the lowest gun-related death rates in the developed world.

In Australia, a 1996 massacre prompted mandatory gun buybacks The rate of mass shootings went from once every 18 months to only one in the 26 years since.

Canada also tightened gun laws after a 1989 mass shooting.
So did Germany in 2002, New Zealand in 2019 and Norway in 2021.

Meanwhile here in America… since the Columbine massacre, there have been a total of 428 school shootings in the United States.

Since 1999, 390,000 students have experienced gun violence at school.

Since Sandy Hook — mass shootings have nearly tripled.

Each day 12 children die from gun violence in America. Another 32 are shot and injured.

Firearms are the leading cause of death for kids and teens in the US.

This. Is. An. American. Problem.
There are more civilian owned guns in this country than there are civilians.
It’s not the pot, the porn, the video games, it’s not the wrong kinds of locks, or too few “good guys with guns”, and it’s not the mental health issues.
Nearly every other country on earth has those things. And they don’t live this way.

It’s the guns.

If burning a flag gets you one year in jail….what does beating up cops with a flag get you?

@ML3democrats No, we're aware, and we agree.

The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.

Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?

It's insane that people who make tens of millions a year (even billions!) pay the same amount into Social Security as someone who makes $176,000.

Our country could easily keep its promises and fund Social Security for generations if we unrigged the system and fixed this.

[Matthew Peracciny @MPeracciny]

@Big_Mik28 Agreed.... truly 3rd rate all the way

Turning fed agents away, superintendent said “I’m still mystified as to how a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 6th-grader would pose any type of risk to the national security of our nation. We will not allow abuse, intimidation of our children or our workforce.” https://t.co/ShLTA4s6E2

Lauren Boebert is what happens when ignorance isn’t just accepted in politics—it’s rewarded.
