President Biden on governors trying to block mask mandates in school: "We're not going to sit by as governors try to block and intimidate educators for protecting our children."
Over 50 Texas school districts are taking action to keep children from getting sick and dying from COVID.
Thanks to all the parents, teachers and organizers who are pushing their school district to do the right thing.
The words “my sister was shot in Las Vegas” will never roll easily off my tongue. This week marks Gun Violence Survivors Week and as a @MomsDemand volunteer and @Everytown survivor fellow, I share our story to put a face on the reality of gun violence.

I am happy to work with Republicans on this issue where there’s common ground, but you almost had me murdered 3 weeks ago so you can sit this one out.
Happy to work w/ almost any other GOP that aren’t trying to get me killed.
In the meantime if you want to help, you can resign.
I can’t put into words how grateful I am as a parent to be able to share the full inauguration with my children and not worry about white supremacy and lies being central and celebrated. Thank you President @JoeBiden. Only thing I had to explain is why Major Biden wasn’t there!
It’s simple. These GOP “leaders” NEED to acknowledge they lost the election. If they don’t, they’re inciting violence by making people believe their democracy was stolen. Until they acknowledge there was NO evidence of mass voter fraud, their followers will continue to plot.
I just sent an urgent message telling my Member of Congress: Remove President Trump from office immediately >> https://t.co/j7uUiZZSkQ @momsdemand@everytown
Here's how elected Republicans and conservative media can begin the healing and unifying process:
Accurately state that Joe Biden was duly elected president in a free and fair election.
Urge Trump supporters to refrain from further violence.
For a start.
JUST IN: Capitol security officials are warning lawmakers that thousands of extremist supporters of President Trump are planning to try to storm the Capitol ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration. https://t.co/tKETSuxUDM
“The gun-rights movement cleared the path for insurrection. It blew a hole in the rule of law—and Donald Trump’s would-be soldiers clamored through it. And then scaled the walls of Congress.”

Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider: "I am now in strict isolation, worried that I have risked my wife's health and angry at the selfishness and arrogance of the anti-maskers."
Scene here at the Texas Capitol on the first day of the legislative session. With a couple hours until chambers gavel in, building is pretty empty/quiet except for heavy DPS presence (also outside). #txlege
