From DCHA's failures to the affordability crisis, it's time for new leadership on DC Council's Committee on Housing. Join me and housing advocates to ask the Council to assign a new housing chair before the January session begins. https://t.co/NfUHzkCkjh

Rapid Re-Housing is a failed program and this bill would forge a new path forward. Homeless families entering Rapid Re-Housing should have an exit plan to stability, which is the goal of this legislation. 🧵 (1/5)

Do people realize Robb Elementary doubled its spend on school security since 2017? They had a fence. They had surveillance. They had officers on duty. They had shooter drill trainings.

ALL OF IT FAILED.

The problem is easy access to guns. It's always been guns. ADDRESS THE GUNS

[Marta Beresin @MartaBeresin]

HCR: “The Uvalde police department consumes 40% of the town’s budget and has its own Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit.” More security CLEARLY is not the answer.

[Marta Beresin @MartaBeresin]

Last year, Texas governor Abbott signed at least seven new laws to make it easier to obtain guns.

Also from Heather—After Sandy Hook in 2012, Republicans filibustered a bipartisan bill sponsored by Manchin (D-WV) and Toomey (R-PA) that would have expanded background checks, despite the 55 votes in favor of it.

And from Heather Cox Richardson: “In 2004, a ten-year federal ban on assault weapons expired…since then mass shootings have tripled.”

[Bianna Golodryga @biannagolodryga]

“Before the assault weapons ban went into effect in 1994, there were about 400,000 AR-15 style rifles in America. Today, there are 20 million.” Jaw dropping figure from @ZushaElinson, who is writing a book on the country’s best selling rifle.

The Education Department says it'll grant federal student loan borrowers additional credit toward loan forgiveness under income-driven repayment plans. The move will bring more than 3.6 million people closer to debt cancellation — including 40,000 who'll be immediately eligible.
