listen, there are responsible gun owners who just enjoying hunting and I want to make it clear that I don’t care at all and they can find literally any other hobby

[Secretary Pete Buttigieg @SecretaryPete]

How many more lives? How many more children? And how much longer before we reject the choices that have made ours the one country where this happens routinely? It is not inevitable, it is horrific. It must end.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

As we look for solutions, this is important. Because over and over - from Parkland to El Paso to Dayton to Uvalde - armed personnel on site couldn't stop mass shooters who only needed minutes for mass slaughter.

These are elementary school children who woke up this morning. Who ate their favorite cereal. Who tied their shoes in double knots. Who laughed with friends on the bus. Now more than a dozen are dead. This isn’t normal. It doesn’t have to be this way. It can’t keep being this way

Republicans fight Disney to force them to discriminate against gay kids.

Democrats fight drug companies to force them to lower insulin prices for sick kids.

Run on that.

I don’t like paying higher gas prices either but it’s incredible that people will buy GOP outrage on gas that’s $5 instead of $3.50—but then excuse GOP for keeping the min wage at $7.25 instead of $15, insulin at $1200 instead of $35, & paid leave at 0 weeks instead of 12 weeks.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

America, I’m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country.

The work ahead of us will be hard, but I promise you this: I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not.

I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
