Civilians in America own over 400 million guns and yet we have a gun homicide rate that’s 26 times higher than any peer nation. Texas, which has among the highest number of armed citizens per capita, also has the most mass shootings.
When do the guns start making us safer?
On direction of CMS, ~18,000 patients will see their Medicaid or PeachCare coverage reinstated retroactive to their date of termination, after the GA Dept of Community Health acknowledged it had inappropriately cut off coverage for those still eligible.

If the male election analysts aren’t able to recognize the wave of frustration coming from women that are driving the results of the 2023 specials and will likely give Ds advantages in 2024 from the presidency down, they should step aside and let us ladies take over. #RoeRage

NEW: U.S. Sen. Warnock is urging Atlanta city officials for more transparency around the petition verification process. The voting rights advocate urged Mayor Dickens to "err on the side of giving people the ability to express their views." #atlpol https://t.co/va0dvJTUAZ
I get Romney is retiring & doing his tell all book but—
1. We already knew all this. Him affirming it makes zero difference.
2. He's still in power. He can vote w/Dems & pass BBB, child tax credit, abolish filibuster, etc—but won't.
Talk is cheap. Let's see action for justice.
Our constituents send us to DC to serve them, not our own financial interest. I joined @SenOssoff & @SenMarkKelly in introducing a bill to ban members of Congress from trading stocks to ensure elected officials are focused on delivering for the American people, not themselves.
Members of Congress shouldn’t be basing their votes on how legislation may affect their own pockets. Period.
Proud to join @SenOssoff to get this done.
A marketing stunt would reveal conservatives’ contempt for Americans’ intelligence but also put them on the spot. If they want to be “pro-baby,” where are the proposals for maternal care, family leave, day care and the like?

Oh would you look at that—70% of expanded Florida #schoolvouchers users were already in private school.
Another 18% entering kindergartners.
Only 13% came from public school.

A reminder that 49m jobs have been created in America since 1989 and a new age of globalization began.
47m of those, 96%, have been created under Democratic Presidents. Essentially all of them.
60 years ago today, Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson and Carol Denise McNair were killed in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in Birmingham, AL.
We must remember their lives and honor their memory by continuing to work to end all forms of hate.
As we commemorate 60 years since the passing of the #FourLittleGirls, we are reminded that every gain, every win, every advancement in the fight for racial equality has come at a high cost, paid by the sacrifices of others.

It is not a blow, a problem, an issue, etc. for Biden when the GOP opens a patently baseless impeachment revealing themselves unfit to govern or when his son is indicted by Biden's own DOJ for something having nothing to do with biden. The media is FAILING.
I have long fought to ensure that all voters have a voice in their democracy, and I have some concerns & questions about how @CityofAtlanta is working to ensure eligible voters of Atlanta can exercise their right to participate in the political process. https://t.co/hdqqAZxDTv
Kelly Loeffler was willing to throw out the votes of millions of her constituents and only reversed course when the conspiracy to deprive Georgians of their civil rights turned violent on January 6th. She’s no hero.
This confessed abuse of power by a US government contractor to sabotage an allied military operation calls at a minimum for exhaustive congressional investigation.
