Supreme Court upholds federal regulations on ghost gun kits The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld government regulation of self-assemble firearm kits that produce untraceable weapons known as "ghost guns."

HUGE WIN FOR GUN SAFETY! In a massive blow to gun extremism, today, the Supreme Court rejected the gun lobby’s challenge to a life-saving ATF rule regulating untraceable ghost gunsβ€”weapons of choice for criminals as they can be bought and built without a background check.

Trump signs executive order to dismantle the Education Department The complete elimination of the department would require the approval of Congress.

He did it. Trump just signed an executive order to begin dismantling the Education Department.

Gun violence is the leading killer of kids and teens in this countryβ€”and Trump is attacking the very programs and agencies that help keep them safe in their schools. Text READY to 644-33 to fight back.

The Department of Education supports key school safety measures that keep our kids and educators safe. School shootings are on the rise and stripping access to these key resources will only make our schools less safe.

I have been coaching a teacher for almost 3 years. She gives me hope. Her unwavering faith and determination to meet her students needs, seek guidance, be vulnerable, and stay on the path she has created for herself is an honor to witness.

I am so proud of her. β™₯️

Trump removes gun violence public health advisory The advisory was issued by a Biden-nominated surgeon general last year.

Trump removed the first-ever advisory on firearm violence from the Surgeon General from the Department of Health and Human Services' website. This landmark report declared gun violence a public health crisis and turned years of research into actionable recommendations to save lives.
