Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

Government Shutdown Leaves Some Shooting Survivors in Limbo Many gunshot victims are covered under Medicaid, a program at risk as Congress battles over spending.

In the third week of the government shutdown, health care funding has become the key sticking point between Republicans and Democrats. The outcome of the ongoing partisan rift could have major consequences for shooting survivors.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities.

Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Tell Congress: Oppose the Federal Concealed Carry Mandate This legislation puts the safety of our communities at risk.

Our lawmakers should be focused on passing policies that keep us safe—but instead, they're considering legislation that would gut our life-saving gun laws. I just sent a message urging my lawmakers to oppose it: etwn.us/3DGVCCY @Everytown

My 5 year-old’s life is worth more than your guns.

Nowhere is safe from the scourge of gun violence in America. You can't tell me we must simply accept it.

Minnesota is heartbroken.

From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together.

Hug your kids close.

Frey: And don't just say, this is about thoughts and prayers right now. These kids were literally praying. It was the first week of school. They were in a church.

RULE ABOUT AMERICAN FLAGS:

If you burn the fabric part, you're looking at jail.

But it you use the pole part to assault a police officer, you get a presidential pardon, praise, and some cash.

We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

It’s the first week of school for many—a time that should be filled with joy, not grief.

Those children in Minnesota were at Mass when their lives were stolen.

My heart goes out to all impacted by this act of violence. Gun violence has no place in our schools, our churches, or our communities.
