As you process the devastating news that another tragic shooting may have taken the lives of innocent students at Brown University, remember the shooter didn't act alone.

He was assisted by 220 House members, 53 Senators, 6 Supreme Court justices, 1 President, and the NRA.

I was honored to serve as an Executive Producer on the documentary All the Empty Rooms and to be a part of helping to tell these stories from around the country. Hoping that you will watch as it is streaming on @netflix beginning today.
Thank you @jrseftel, Lou Bopp, @stevehartmancbs, and so many others for your incredible work on this film.

This is the face of a killer. Secretary of State @marcorubio knows him well as he is the Parkland school shooter and the person who killed my daughter. HE WAS AMERICAN. He was also a Trump enthusiast. One week after the shooting in 2018, I challenged Rubio to stop looking elsewhere and to focus on the gun and how he got it. He failed then and he is failing again. Rather than a focus on the weapon and how the National Guard shooter got his, he is instead going after groups of people and blaming them. As the Parkland shooter shows, Americans also kill and this is reality in most shootings. My question for everyone who is looking into the National Guard shooting is simple. How did the killer get his guns and what is your plan to stop future killers (American citizens or not) from acquiring weapons in a country that currently makes that easy?

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Dear @NBCNews , @CNN , @MSNBC , @CBSNews , @ABC etc

PAY ATTENTION.

This is how you handle somebody who comes onto your show and lies to YOU and America.

You don’t let them continue to lie, you shut them the fuck off.

More of this followed by actual journalism, and your numbers will go through the roof.

Guaranteed.

Now do your fucking jobs.

JB Pritzker: “The president has been pardoning people who are committing violent crimes. He himself is a convicted felon. The president is causing mayhem on the ground in our state. He’s going after his political opponents. He’s moving toward making the United States an authoritarian regime in his own image”

Raising hell at home & then pretending to be the President of Peace is diabolical.

In 2022, 530 American Indian and Alaska Natives died from gun violence—the highest number on record.

Native Americans experience some of the highest rates of fatal police encounters, suicide, and domestic violence. This is unacceptable. On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we urge our leaders to take action on this epidemic.

[Joe Walsh @WalshFreedom]

Bullshit. “No Kings” on October 18 will be the largest peaceful protest in American history. Millions & millions & millions & millions of Americans organically taking to the streets to reaffirm this basic American ideal: No Kings here. Never.

Team Trump is scared to death of No Kings.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

[GIFFORDS @GIFFORDS_org]

We should all be able to go on a grocery run without worrying about if we’ll make it home, but now anyone can openly carry a gun in Florida’s largest grocery store chain without a background check or training.

This is a massive threat to public safety.

Eight people were killed and at least 20 injured after gunfire erupted at two separate homecoming celebrations this weekend in Mississippi.

Every shooting is a preventable tragedy. Our hearts go out to the families of the victims.

Within the last 36 hours:

4 people were shot on the side of the highway in Alexandria, Louisiana

8 people were shot and 3 are dead in Southport, North Carolina- mostly tourists

4 people were shot in a parking lot in Raleigh, North Carolina

10 people were shot and 1 was killed at a church in Grand Blanc, Michigan- including a child

4 people were shot and 1 was killed on Burboun St in New Orleans, one was a tourist visiting her sister

7 people were shot and 2 were killed at a Casino in Eagle Pass, Texas

How many bodies have to pile up before Republican leaders realize they’re holding blood money from the NRA?

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Multiple mass shootings over the last 24 hours, and Donald Trump is online bragging about the amount of gold in his office.

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

There were 5 MASS SHOOTINGS IN 24 HOURS!

Trump’s FBI cannot protect us. He has them focused on targeting his political opponents rather than protecting us.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

The White House knows exactly what it was doing when they published a list of Democrats who have used their voice to call out Trump & Miller’s ICE abuses.

The list is now being used by the far right as an enemies list. It’s reckless. It’s dangerous. And it puts lives at risk.

The Governor has made it clear, consistently, that violence is never justified. Trump must tone it down.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

So the two gunman who carried out mass shootings *this weekend* were white male veterans with semiautomatic rifles. Will the GOP call for the removal of white male veterans’ AR-15s?

[Governor Bob Ferguson @GovBobFerguson]

Washington stands with Oregon.

I remain concerned by President Trump’s activation of the National Guard in Portland.

I’m continuing to monitor the situation. Over the weekend, we were in communication with Governor Kotek and her team, as well as Mayor Harrell. We’re meeting today with the Washington National Guard.

My team and I have been preparing for this possibility for some time. We do not need or want the president to militarize our streets.
