Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

Russia, Russia, Russia was not a hoax. Trump signed an EO tonight exempting Russia from new sanctions legislation that Congress passed last month. The law was designed to squeeze the financial lifelines sustaining Russia's war against Ukraine. Gift link. 👇 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Gun enthusiasts will trumpet the fact that a civilian with a gun stopped the shooter at the Oregon elementary school. They won’t bother discussing the fact that with proper gun control, the shooting wouldn’t have happened in the first place. 3 children are dead. Gun control now.

Only in America are mass shootings in schools a regular occurrence. Kids endure active shooter drills. They never get to enjoy a sense of safety. Yet America refuses to deal with the guns. They value the second amendment over the lives of their own children:

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.
