Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Health insurance premiums are spiking.

Hospitals are closing.

Democrats are ready to fix this health care crisis RIGHT NOW.

But Donald Trump and Republicans in charge of Congress and the White House would rather shut down the government than save health care.

Tell Congress: Ban Assault Weapons! These weapons of war have no place in our communities.

I just sent a message urging my Congressional lawmakers to support the GOSAFE Act, which would regulate deadly assault weapons. There's no more time for inaction. Join me in urging your lawmakers to pass this life-saving bill: etwn.us/4j3bsqQ @Everytown

Thoughts and prayers don’t stop mass shootings, and they don’t stop climate disasters either.

This is a tragedy Gov. Greg Abbott did nothing to prevent. He still denies that climate change is real. He won’t act, and he won’t regulate.

Zohran Mamdani's Win Could Change Everything Mamdani won by uplifting and uniting some of New York City's most forgotten voters. His coalition now has a chance to transform what's possible for people everywhere.

"If Mamdani’s victory feels like something new, it is. But it is also a return. A return to a politics that sees dignity as non-negotiable, solidarity as a strategy, and leadership as a tool for the many."

Man in custody after fatal 7-Eleven shooting in Philadelphia's Tacony section Police say a minor incident about not being able to pass through the aisle of the store quickly escalated.

Shot and killed over blocking an aisle at a convenience store.

We cannot accept this senseless violence as normal. Text READY to 644-33 if you're ready to do something about it.

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

If you have followed my story, you know how much I love @Joebiden and how much he means to me. He is a testament to decency and civility and all that is good about America.

Sending President Biden and his family much love as they now pursue medical options.

Two years ago, eight people were killed and seven injured in a mass shooting at Allen Premium Outlets in Allen, Texas.

Call Congress and urge them to cosponsor an #AssaultWeaponsBan.

We remember the lives taken and will continue to #HonorwithAction.

And btw, I’m Catholic, and I don’t find this funny at all. I find it childish, stupid, and offensive. With so much going on the past 2 days, I forgot to ask my fellow Catholics if they found it childish, stupid, and offensive too.

Federal judge orders NC to certify Riggs as winner in Supreme Court election The decision could bring an end to nearly six months of legal battles over the Republican candidate’s attempt to overturn his loss.

This is great news. NC Voters were clear in November: They elected Allison Riggs. Attempts to overturn the will of voters is dangerous election interference. This never should have gone on for 6 months.

Donation Page by The Initiative for Better Gun Violence Reporting We inform journalistic practices to prevent harm and illuminate programs and policies that prevent gun violence. But we need your help.

Our mission is to amplify the voices of victims,
survivors, and communities that have, for far too long,
been missing from the stories about their experiences,
and who have been made to feel as though the
trauma they endure is inevitable. Gun violence is not
inevitable. It is preventable.
