Some of the same elected Republicans who voted to overturn my student loan relief plan benefitted from thousands in pandemic relief loans to keep their own businesses open.
Those loans were forgiven.
Now, they refuse to extend the same relief to borrowers with student debt.
Over the last two decades, more school-age children have died from guns than on-duty police officers and active duty military combined.
Think about that.
Congress, the time to pass stronger gun safety reforms is now.
Payton Washington is in the ICU after she was shot for getting in the wrong car in Texas
Kaylin Gillis was shot to death for driving into the wrong driveway in New York
Ralph Yarl was shot in the head for ringing the doorbell at the wrong house in Missouri
It’s the guns
- Child molestation
- Domestic violence
- Corruption
Those are issues that DO NOT rise to the level of expulsion from Congress in Tennessee.
But protesting gun violence after a deadly mass shooting can get Reps Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones and Justin Pearson expelled.
I stand with the #TennesseeThree. ✊
BREAKING: Tennessee has voted to EXPEL the first of three Democrats for protesting for stronger gun safety with demonstrators at the Tennessee Capitol.
House lawmakers voted 72-25 to remove Rep. Justin Jones.
This is absolutely outrageous. Why should Rep. Jones be expelled while Republicans who helped plan January 6 still serve in the House?
WOW: Watch this teacher SLAM Tennessee lawmakers for passing a bill to give guns to teachers. 📷
Their insane response doesn't stop there.
When students, parents and teachers swarmed the capitol demanding an assault weapons ban, they not only KICKED THEM OUT, but worse, they are KICKING OUT the Democratic Representatives who tried to stand with the protesters!
But this teacher wasn't having it.
She's saying what so many teachers are saying — they do NOT want to be cops... to make horrible decisions to shoot their own students. Ban the guns that make school shootings so horrible, and solve the problem.
KUDOS to her for being brave. Let's get her message everywhere.
.@POTUS pledged to end new drilling on federal lands.
This disastrous decision to approve the Willow Project in Alaska, one of the largest oil development projects in decades, will have devastating consequences on our planet, frontline communities, and wildlife.
A survivor of the Sandy Hook School mass shooting in 2012 is a student at Michigan State University: “I am 21-years-old and this is the second mass shooting I’ve lived through. We can no longer allow this to happen. We can no longer be complacent.”
Two months ago, we passed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower energy and health care costs, and cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for people on Medicare.
Not one Republican in Congress voted for it.
You know what doesn’t make sense to me, when girls in apocalypse movies have long flowey hair. Mine would have tangled in days with no conditioner. I would chop it off within a week. No one should be worried about hair when there are bigger things going on.
