Politician
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "Remember--back in August, after the tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Dayton, & Odessa, Pres. Trump & the GOP promised to work with Democrats to address gun violence. But nothing has happened since. No plans presented, no compromises delivered. A tragic failure in leadership."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Nov. 14, 2019
Tweet - "Students, families, & residents of yet another community have been left traumatized by gun violence. This time in Santa Clarita. #EnoughIsEnough, @senatemajldr. Take up & pass #HR8 and send bipartisan background checks legislation to POTUS to sign. Inaction is not an option."
Rep. Steny Hoyer
Nov. 14, 2019

Nov. 13, 2019
