Perhaps a man who has been judged a rapist, fined $355 million, barred from doing business in NY, impeached twice, and facing 91 felony counts should not be president.
To the media: After “Speaker” Johnson admitted that he doesn’t want to pass border funding because Joe Biden is president, PLEASE stop saying the issue of border security is Democrats’ or President Biden’s fault. There are no both-sides. House Republicans simply do not care.
My name is Kristin Song.
On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.
At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.
I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.
The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.
So I did.
6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.
Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.
In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.
When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.
Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.
I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.
If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.
Dear @RepStefanik:
Last week you challenged Ivy League presidents to denounce antisemitism with “moral clarity” by answering yes/no questions. Dissatisfied by their answers, you agitated for their removal. What about tolerance for antisemitism among presidential candidates?
Just so it’s clear, the orange traitor who committed insurrection/sedition and the 147 fascist House republicans who openly helped him including Mike Johnson are technically disqualified from holding office or running for office as per Section 3 of the 14th amendment. Criminals.
McCarthy’s ouster wasn’t the Democrats fault.
Republicans did that.
No Speaker for 12 days isn’t the Democrats fault.
Republicans are doing that.
A government shutdown won’t be the Democrats fault.
Republicans want that.
Don’t pin this shit on the Dems.
Republicans own it all.
Kevin McCarthy is still out there blaming the Democrats for the fact that HIS fucking Chaos conference can’t agree on jack shit, when THEY are the ones with the “majority” and THEY are the ones who kicked his ass out.
What an insufferable little prick.
Jeff Bezos just purchased another mega-mansion in Miami’s “billionaire bunker” neighborhood. This time for $79 million.
It sits next to another property he bought this summer for $68 million.
Don't tell me the super-rich can't afford a wealth tax.
