Tonight, gun safety will be front and center at the State Of The Union. Victims of gun violence will be represented by the House, the Senate and invited by Republicans and Democrats. We may not all agree on a path forward, but we are all fighting for a safer America.
Thank you @SpeakerPelosi for inviting me. Thank you @TedDeutch for inviting @manueloliver00 and thank you @SenRickScott for inviting @AndrewPollackFL .
And my good friends @cameron_kasky will be there as a guest of @RepSwalwell as will @JosephSakran as a guest of @RepThompson .

@manueloliver00, @TedDeutch and I were interviewed and asked about the Presidents failure to mention Parkland and gun violence. That was when we realized had the killer been an illegal immigrant, the President would have mentioned it. Bottom line, he failed tonight.
He failed to mention our loved ones who were killed by an American male. Even when he mentioned the heroism of the Pittsburgh sivivors, he failed to mention the fact that a gun, and AR 15, made its way into a temple.
40,000 people die a year from gun violence, and this President did not consider that an actual emergency. Sad to realize that if all gun violence were committed by illegal aliens, this President would be working overtime to do something about it.

Yesterday we had the unveiling of Jaime's tombstone. In the Jewish religion, it is a ceremony that happens approx one year after burial. For us, it was reliving this pain all over again. I should have spend these past few months planning her Sweet 16 and instead, I did this.
At the unveiling, I spoke of her loss and I spoke of the fact that I am still her dad. As her dad, I will never stop dealing with what happened to her. Yesterday only reinforced how tragic and unfair this was.
Yesterday only reinforced for me my original decision to weaken the gun lobby. Yesterday only reinforced for me my mission to remove the gun lobby from the legislative process of gun safety. Kids should come home to parents and parents should go home to kids.

(1,4) I will never forget this Presidential tweet from the day I buried my daughter and the pain it caused me. The President received a full briefing from FBI Dir the prior day on Parkland shooting and knew it had nothing to do with Russia, it was a failure at a call center.
(2,4) He chose to lie about what he knew and made the death of my daughter political on the day I buried her. At the funeral in my eulogy, I mentioned this tweet and begged the President not to make the death of my daughter political and instead to work with our community and me
(3,4) on doing something about what happened. He then asked DeVos to start a commission on what happened but NOT to look at guns as a factor. For me, you cannot offer a plan that refuses to look at this critical part. For me, this makes her plan inadequate.

Right off the bat I see a Q reference

look to twitter exactly this:

"My fellow Americans, the Storm is upon us......."

Not the full statement so probably not significant but worth noting

The Uphill Battle to Take the #Senate
We have a chance for Democrats to gain the #SenateMajority after the Nov elections. The balance is currently 51/49 (including 2 Indep’s.). We need turnover at least 2 GOP seats, w/o any losses. With losses, we will need to win more.
Senators serve for six years, divided into three ‘classes’. One-third of Senate seats are in play every two years, plus any vacancies for early resignations. This year there are two of the latter.
Unfortunately, in 2018, we have an uphill battle. There are 35 races, but 26 are for Democratic seats, and only 9 are GOP. And most of the latter are considered ‘safe’ for the incumbents. So, taking the Senate in 2018 is a daunting task.

MARCO RUBIO’s HYPOTHESIS: Those against gun bans “want to prevent mass shootings, too. They view banning guns as an infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding citizens that ultimately will not prevent these tragedies.”.
This is called the Scientific Method. To test his hypothesis (which means millions of lives), research is required.
RESEARCH BIAS; Rubio has an A+ rating from the gun rights group for supporting NRA-friendly legislation. According to the New York Times, he has received $3.3 million from the group. (Research bias,performing the research influence the results to portray a certain outcome.)

There is some modest #gunreform that may be tied to Omnibus. A partial walk-back of Dickey (chilling effect removed?, funding?). And $50 mil/yr spend to ID risk for gun violence in schools. Stay tuned politico.com/story/2018/03/…
“The compromise is also expected to include a bipartisan school safety bill, which would create a $50 million-a-year grant program to offer training to recognize signs of gun violence. (Congress would need to separately decide to fund that program.)” #gunreform
“Republicans urged Democrats to allow the text into the spending package — Democrats argue it’s unlikely to do much to curb mass shootings.

Democrats called for expanding background checks to include sales online and at gun shows, and reinstating the ban on assault rifles”

1. Well, @matt_latimer, I can tell you I'm sick and tired of the statement that #Democrats don't stand for anything but being anti-Trump. As if we just poofed into existence during the 2016 election. As if it's just the man and not the policies we oppose. politico.com/magazine/story…
2. Why are we against policies that favor the wealthy and disenfranchise the poor? Why are we against immigration bans, walls, taking away healthcare, gutting safety-nets, civil and environmental protections? We oppose these policies because they are against what we stand for.
3. As Democrats we strive for economic parity, closing the wealth gap, providing equal opportunities for education and work. We believe in protecting the rights of all citizens and fighting to end injustice. We do, indeed, have a message and policies to support it.
