NYC is undoubtedly safer thanks to our @NYPDDetectives from the Major Case Field Intelligence Team. While conducting a search warrant, detectives recovered a cache of firearm lower receivers, high capacity magazines, ammo, a rapid-fire device, & a completed ghost gun.

Senator Lana Theis accused me by name of grooming and sexualizing children in an attempt to marginalize me for standing up against her marginalizing the LGBTQ community...in a fundraising email, for herself.

Hate wins when people like me stand by and let it happen. I won't.

Today marks the 27th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. This act of domestic terrorism resulted in the deaths of 168 people, including 19 children, 8 federal law enforcement officers, and left 100s more seriously injured. #ATF50

Thank you David Chipman for saying to @1a reporter: “…allowing someone for eight minutes to spill untruths is dangerous business.”

I’m doing things differently in the Senate. I publish my official schedule, I don’t take corporate PAC money, and I put my assets into a blind trust.

And out of 535 members of Congress, I’m the only one to do all three.

1/ NEW: Today @ProPublica is revealing, for the first time ever, who makes the most income in America–and what taxes they pay.

Dive in here! We've got charts! Tables! Gizmos! It's the most fun you’ll have thinking about taxes this morning.

What a legend

[John Fetterman @JohnFetterman]

Good.

Now let’s ditch the filibuster + finally pass common sense gun laws supported by a majority of Americans.

[Gabrielle Giffords @GabbyGiffords]

My recovery is a lifelong journey, and aphasia is a big part of it. But an aphasia diagnosis doesn’t mean an end to communication. People who communicate differently are seeking—and we deserve—the same level of human connection as everyone else.

More than three years ago, I set out to determine how many children in America lost parents to gun violence. Today, we published a story that, for the first time, answers that question: at least 41 a day. (thread)

Bucha. I never heard the name of this Ukrainian town until 16 hours ago, but I’ll never forget it for rest of my life. Hurts to confront these photos, but we cannot grow numb to this brutality. What we see isn’t just a massacre, it is a failure of “never again.” THREAD(Graphic)

“Auto sears are everywhere on the street right now,” said Jefferey Boshek, a 21-year ATF veteran. “They’re one of the scariest things we’ve dealt with since I became an agent.”

Just a staggering figure: @OpenSecretsDC calculates that Russia has spent $164,597,221 on American lobbying since 2016, the year it became clear that Russia was interfering in our elections. https://t.co/YYyXWCWX2R

Michigan is home to more than 46,000 Ukrainian-Americans, ranking us 4th in US by % (7th by #). They are our neighbors, co-workers and friends, and a vibrant part of the fabric of our communities. #StandWithUkraine

Branding your military-style assault rifle to children using skulls with pacifiers is not what I had in mind when I’ve asked for truth in gun industry marketing. https://t.co/yzEyu3IhAX

[David Chipman @davidchipman]

And yet @ATFHQ continues to partner with @NSSF while @SenAngusKing said NO to my ATF nomination absent the NSSF seal of approval. This is why the parents of dead children like @manueloliver00 are climbing cranes outside the @WhiteHouse.

[Ryan Busse @ryandbusse]

So what is @NSSF up to since it blessed the Sandy Hook Man Card campaign? Oh…just celebrating this new company that markets AR15s directly to “wee kids” with skulls and pacifiers. Yup. It’s real. WeeTactical’s JR15 debuted at nssf’s shot show a month ago.
