Travel advice from the coward of Cancun

[JFK Library Foundation @JFKLibraryFdn]

To embarrass Northern liberals and humiliate Black people, southern White Citizens Councils started their so-called "Reverse Freedom Rides," giving Black people one-way tickets to northern cities with false promises of jobs, housing, and better lives.

The Missouri Dems should host an annual Josh Hawley 5K as a fundraiser.

[Stephen Webber 🇺🇸 @s_webber]

“Josh Hawley is a bitch. And he ran like a bitch….that guy’s a clown…No honor.”

Former police officer with a breathtaking 75 seconds.

“Leave it up to the States” was also the Pro-Slavery argument

[John Schwing @SchwingPost]

No one who was paying attention should be surprised by his depraved behavior.

[Olivia Nuzzi @Olivianuzzi]

The imagery from Cassidy Hutchinson’s testimony is stunning. Broken dishes, ketchup smeared on the walls of the White House, Trump grabbing the steering wheel and physically attacking an aide when he was prevented from joining the insurrectionists at the Capitol on January 6…

[Dr. Jason Johnson @DrJasonJohnson]

Protesters show up outside SCOTUS homes & suddenly Congress gives them high priced security. A 70 year old black poll worker in Georgia gets death threats from MAGA Trumpers and she's on the run for 2 months and the FBI basically says figure it out. This is why people are angry

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

You don’t get to pretend that you care about public safety if you’re a governor who allows six major mass shootings to happen on your watch while actively going out of your way to make it easier for criminals to carry guns.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

IT’S THE GUNS.

[Gene Wu @GeneforTexas]

I don't know how to break it to you, but...

If UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECKS and RED FLAG LAWS create an insurmountable barrier to you owning a firearm, then you ARE the person we're worried about.

[Andrew—#IAmTheResistance @AmoneyResists]

Every word of this

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

FYI this isn't stopping. There have been 18 mass shootings SINCE Uvalde.

You need to know this. Because it's not going to stop until we do something.

1/ Here's just a sampling of the slaughter in the last six days:

Cancun awaits, Ted.

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

Someone heckled Ted Cruz while he was eating at a restaurant last night

“19 children died! That’s on your hands! Ted Cruz, that’s on your hands!”

[Jesse McLaren @McJesse]

If laws don't stop bad people from getting guns then WHY DID HE WAIT UNTIL THE LITERAL DAY IT WAS LEGAL TO BUY ONE?

[John Schwing @SchwingPost]

Shocked. Simply shocked!

[NBC News @NBCNews]

Texas Gov. Abbott says the Uvalde school shooter had a "mental health challenge" and the state needed to "do a better job with mental health" — yet in April he slashed $211M from the department that oversees mental health programs. https://t.co/psXFaffu4q
