Rep. Tim Ryan on gun control legislation: "Republicans need to, quite frankly, get their shit together and stop pandering to the NRA because people are getting killed."
Sen. Murphy: "These shooters, contemplating mass slaughter, take note of their government's inaction, and they infer this silence as endorsement."
Sen. Murphy: "For every national leader who wakes up Monday, and decides to do nothing – again – just know that the blood is soaking deeper into your hands."

Live now on @MSNBC.
President Trump says El Paso attacker posted racist screed before the attack, and calls for the nation to condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy with one voice.
President Trump says that the internet and social media are helping fuel mass shootings, and he has directed the US Justice Dept. to work with local agencies and social media companies to detect attackers before they strike. "We can and will stop this evil contagion."

JUST IN: Gun violence terrorism survivor Gabby Giffords:

President Trump and Majority Leader McConnell "must call the Senate back from August recess immediately. We cannot afford to wait another day for lawmakers to address this horrific national public safety threat."
Giffords: “It’s been 158 days since the US House of Representatives passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. How many more lives will be lost before Majority Leader McConnell and President Trump take the next steps to sign that lifesaving legislation into law?”
Sen. Sanders: "Mitch McConnell should bring the Senate back into session immediately to pass HR 8, the gun safety bill that has already passed the House. That's a first step to addressing our serious gun violence epidemic."

Amid rise in white supremacist domestic terrorism, US federal law enforcement doesn't have the same toolkit to fight domestic terror that it can use to fight international terror, legal experts and ex-FBI agents say. on.msnbc.com/2KoRh7N
Following the 9/11 attacks, the US government took an aggressive stance toward preventing and punishing acts of Islamist-inspired violence inside US borders, defining it as "international terrorism."

In contrast, there is no domestic terrorism statute.
Cases involving white supremacists are typically not prosecuted in US federal courts under terrorism statutes because they don't involve "foreign terrorist organizations."

They often land in state courts, becoming drug, fraud or murder cases.

1. The president condemned white supremacy after the bloody massacres in El Paso and Dayton. Does anyone believe him? I hope not. Donald Trump long stopped deserving the benefit of the doubt. Continuing to give him that is enabling his toxic bad faith.
2. "Our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul,” the president said this morning.

I’m not buying it. Neither should you.
3. The president has told thousands of lies since taking office. This is a fact. He also plays coy when it comes to the racist ideology that lifted him to the land’s highest office. If under pressure from his party and the press corps, he’ll deliver a scripted condemnation.

Understanding the Heartland: A Tutorial for Democrats on how to WIN in 2020

I live in Boone, NC.

You might think we're a Conservative haven here.

We're not.

According to public records, 51% of our registered voters are Democrats, not Republicans.

We have a state campus here, AppState, which occupies half of the town here.

It's a gorgeous place.

If you ever get the chance, come and visit us. We're nestled in the heartland of Appalachia, just a few miles from the Tennessee and Virginia borders.

I moved here because

Within weeks of the Orlando nightclub shooting, Sen. Tom Udall (D-NM) participated in a sit-in at the House to demand votes on gun control legislation, saying, "We owe it to the LGBT community & all families harmed by gun violence to keep terror suspects from obtaining guns."
Since he was first elected to Congress in 1998, Sen. Udall has taken a leadership role on a wide array of environmental issues, receiving a lifetime score of 96% from the League of Conservation Voters.

Sen. Udall was one of the original co-sponsors of the Arctic Wilderness Bill, and more recently has worked closely with the Navajo and Pueblo nations in New Mexico to oppose new leasing, drilling and fracking near Chaco Canyon National Park. #DemSenate2020 #DemFuture

New PELOSI whip count from @thefix:

- 8 non-incumbent Dems continue to oppose Pelosi
- At least 8 incumbent Dems oppose Pelosi
- If current leads hold in 9 outstanding House races, Pelosi can only lose 14 Dem votes on the floor if no members vote present

washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
More from @thefix PELOSI whip count:

- 34 non-incumbent Democrats have dodged questions about Pelosi’s speaker bid
- No fewer than 5 incoming House Democrats now say they will SUPPORT Pelosi after previously dodging questions about her

washingtonpost.com/politics/2018/…
Two regular refrains from non-incumbent Democrats when asked about Pelosi BEFORE the 2018 midterms:

- I don’t know who is running

- I’ll look at it once I’m elected

In the wake of the Parkland, Fla., shooting some are pushing for gun control, even gun confiscation, while others are virtue signaling & offering no real solutions for actually dealing with school
