And we shared more opportunities for elections work while we also wrote stacks of postcards to voters. We are ALL IN to help get out the vote for Bekki Brewer--a gun owner and gun sense candidate in HD44, running to flip an important seat in Boone County. #honorwithaction 2/2
Survivors and Moms Demand Action volunteers worked together to write get out the vote postcards for gun sense candidate for MO HD44, Bekki Brewer.

Kinda wild that there have been wild protests going on in Albania for months set off by a corrupt Kushner luxury resort project and there has been barely coverage of it here 🇺🇸 and Trump never gets asked about it.

Three little kids and a teacher were shot and killed at their school today in Bend, Oregon. Two more were injured. Our hearts are broken and we’re angry. It’s disgraceful that extremists keep blocking critical, lifesaving laws while kids die in their classrooms. America can do better. It must.

The U.S. is actually accusing Canada of "election meddling" because our retaliatory tariffs target swing states. Industry Minister Joly shut that down fast: you don't get to threaten our economy and then cry foul when Canada hits back with PRECISION. That’s called deterrence. 🇨🇦
