In 2024, there were 502 mass shootings. 5,151 kids lost to gun violence. 16,576 people killed. During #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth we remember that everyone who we have lost to senseless gun violence is somebody’s someone. We have to put a stop to gun violence.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Can't believe Joni Ernst needs this explained to her, but here goes: It is immoral and un-Christian to do nothing to prevent people from dying. Seems obvious, but unfortunately the GOP is hellbent on putting their own constituents at risk.
