Rep Andy Ogles has lost his primary. His district includes the site of school shooting in Nashville where 3 children & 3 adults were killed with assault weapons at The Covenant School in 2023. He received widespread criticism for a Christmas photo he posted of his family posing with assault weapons.

Drones, pepper spray, etc will not stop school shootings. We need congress to pass strong gun control laws instead. Freedom is not only for those who own guns. Freedom starts with our ability to live without fear of getting shot. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Schools are adding pepper-spraying drones to help combat active shooters
The plastic, nonlethal aircraft, which can smash windows and ram attackers, will be at the ready in a handful of schools in Florida, Georgia and Colorado.

President Bush signed the NRA's #1 priority bill PLCAA into law in 2005. PLCAA has prevented gun violence survivors from seeking justice in the civil courts.

The world’s ten richest people — almost all Americans — saw their collective net worth increase by $220 billion in May. These ten people are now worth a combined $2.9 trillion. The bottom 50% of U.S. households, is worth $4.3 trillion. Wondering if inequality is out of control?

Red flag laws or extreme risk protection orders allow families to seek a court order to temporarily remove guns if an individual is in danger of hurting himself or other others. Why would Republicans punish anyone who enforces it?

🚨 The Senate just left DC for recess without passing Trump’s spending bill. Republicans thought they could rush over $70 billion more in funding to Trump’s secret police this week, but thanks to you (and general GOP incompetence), we’ve delayed this dangerous bill. Let’s discuss what’s next. 🧵

76% of school shooters get their guns from their homes or from their relatives. If the parents of these shooters locked up their guns then this shooting could have been prevented. It’s time for Congress to pass Ethan‘s law to keep kids & others safe from unsecure guns.
