All respect due to the subject of forced arbitration, sincerely, but this House Judiciary hearing was *also* supposed to be about gun safety bills. It has been three hours and three minutes and lawmakers have said next to absolutely nothing about the gun legislation on the table.
And to much applause, the bill on forced arbitration is adopted, reported to the House. #FAIRAct

Excerpt: Getting her child back won’t be easy. The mother, although having arrived in Miami on Tuesday, can’t pick her up. Paul was told she had to go through the process of applying to be her daughter’s sponsor with HHS.
In order to get custody of her daughter, Paul would have to collect documentation that would prove she’s her mother — like a birth certificate, government identification as well as proof of address. In the past, this process has taken anywhere from weeks to months.
To make matters more challenging, Paul says U.S. officials told her that she can only stay in the U.S. until Sept. 26.

9/11 began a long love affair for me with New York and with journalism. I said to my mom on September 13, 2001, I need to see it. I need to go, I want to see it. My adolescent brain couldn't process it all, seeing was believing to me. Seeing was healing. She took me a day later.
That trip shaped me into who I am, drilled into me the permanent "why?" I have followed that "why" all the way to where I am today. Out of terror, loss, grief, something good came. Now, 18 years later, I think I truly understand how strong she was in the face of her own horror.
I think about the day I asked to go. I think about the trip. I think about what I saw. As the daughter of a photographer, I took pictures, of course. Pictures I don't share, really. They are just my tangible proof that this unimaginable horrible thing really did happen.

After Virginia Beach, too many pundits and politicians said preventing gun violence was hopeless. They're wrong, and their cynicism is dangerous. As legislative sessions come to a close, here's proof that we're winning, and that @MomsDemand volunteers' hard work is paying off.
This year, two states and the District of Columbia enacted Red Flag Laws, bringing the number of states with this life-saving policy to 15. Nevada’s governor is expected to add the Silver State to this list soon.
In Colorado, after we helped flip the legislature to be a gun sense majority in 2018, Gov. Jared Polis signed a Red Flag Law, long demanded by gun violence survivors and other advocates.

Michigan folks: Judiciary Committee Chair Runestad's stupid idea of arming teachers is a non-starter. Just this week, a student at CMU was able to get the firearm away from his trained police officer father and kill his parents. More guns makes any environment less safe.
Right now, good bills that would put in place "red flag laws" that would allow removing firearms from possession of people have been deemed by a court to pose a danger to themselves or others and universal background check bills are languishing in Runestad's committee.
Michigan folks! Listen up! Call Republican members of the Judiciary Committee: Let them know you want them to 1) Move forward for a vote the bills that would put in place "red flag laws" & universal background checks; 2) You are completely opposed to arming teachers. It's stupid!
