A gun responsibility majority in the Senate 🥳

Hi John, Last Wednesday morning, we felt more hopeful than we had in a long time and we were gearing up to celebrate unbelievable victories in Georgia. Then, of course, everything changed. A violent, pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attempted coup that resu…

FBI warns of nationwide armed protests

A breaking news alert Last week’s deadly insurrection was not the end, John. The fact that the attempted coup failed and that at least five people were killed, did nothing to discourage pro-Trump rioters and far-right extremists. Instead, it has had the opposite effe…

Domestic terrorists in the Capitol

The worst is happening right now, John. It is not a protest. It is not constitutionally-protected free speech. It is a violent attack on our democracy. The individuals participating in this violence should be called what they are: domestic terrorists. image cred…

The worst record to break

More than 41,000 Americans were killed by guns this year, John. That’s 112 deaths every day—more than four deaths every hour. This is the worst record to break. And if we don’t double down on the fight to address the gun violence epidemic, we are just going to keep breaking it. We…
