Flash News

@RoKhanna: Unreal that the conservative government in Britain has instituted a windfall profits tax on oil but @SenWhitehouse & my bill to tax oil profits & give a rebate to working families still hasn’t received a vote. Come on, being more progressive than @BorisJohnson is not a high bar!

@AndrewYang: Appreciate what you have. 🙏❤️

@ByMikeBaker: The guidelines provide sobering clarity: The first officers may be risking their lives. But, it says, innocent lives take priority.“A first responder unwilling to place the lives of the innocent above their own safety should consider another career field.”5/9

@thehill: “To those who are attending the NRA convention across the street, you are not our enemies. We are not yours,” Beto O’Rourke said at a pro-gun control rally.

@dpakman: Movie theaters and grocery stores already typically have only one door to go in, at least for the customers, so I’m not sure how the focus on the doors is the solution

@RoKhanna: Don’t let the Republican party fool you. The majority of young Americans without student debt — Republican, Independent, Democrat — still support student debt cancellation for everyone else.Let’s get it done.

@AndrewYang: One insight from this study – media coverage of shooters should be very limited and disciplined.

@Heather89698048: Wishing everyone a safe, healthy, Happy weekend 😊 and Happy Memorial day to all my followers who celebrate!! 😊💙

@FundForHumanity: The second amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” It doesn’t say anything about the “thrill” of gun ownership but it does specify “well regulated.”

@Tom_Winter: NBC News: Feds entered Uvalde school to kill gunman despite local police initially asking them to wait.A new development from our deeply sourced DHS reporter @JuliaEAinsley via @nbcnews
