Our gun violence epidemic is a public health emergency—and we need to make big, structural changes if we want to end it. So today, I introduced the #EndGunViolenceBill in the Senate to confront this crisis head on. bostonglobe.com/2020/01/30/nat…
The #EndGunViolenceBill is supported by @NAACP, @GiffordsCourage, @AMarch4OurLives, @NewtownAction, @StopHandguns, and gun violence prevention, civil rights, public health, and community organizations across the country.
We know that a small group of corrupt extremists will do everything they can to stop this bill. That's why I've also got a plan to root out the corruption in Washington. Together, we can end the gun violence epidemic that is devastating our communities. elizabethwarren.com/plans/gun-viol…

Donald Trump was impeached for pressuring a foreign government to interfere in our election. That's why I'm not at his #SOTU tonight—I'm with voters in New Hampshire, talking about how we're going to make our government work for them.
These are hard times for our country. Tomorrow it looks like Republicans will continue to protect an out-of-control president rather than uphold the Constitution. #SOTU
But the character of our country—and the state of our union—aren’t determined by Trump. They’re determined by our people, and we’re stronger than Donald Trump. Now more than ever, we must choose courage and hope over fear. #SOTU

#BlackLivesMatter at school. Every student deserves to learn in a welcoming and safe public school. As president, I’ll ensure that the federal government plays its part in bringing a positive, nurturing climate to every school. blacklivesmatteratschool.com
Continuing to militarize schools won’t improve school safety. I’ll fight to end zero-tolerance discipline, which disproportionately impacts Black students, and invest in restorative justice programs. I’ll also push to close the mental health provider gap in schools.
Representation matters. I’ll ensure that our educator workforce keeps pace with the changing demographics of our schools. That also means investing in identity-affirming curricula, so that students see themselves in their school work—not just one month a year, but all year long.

Senate Republicans have let the American people down, giving Donald Trump permission to conspire with foreign governments to undermine your vote. The GOP has shown where they stand—and it's not with you.
The only force that’s powerful enough to stop Trump and the Republicans is us—the American people. They want us to be discouraged and feel hopeless because they're afraid of what will happen when we all come together and take up each other’s fights.
In this moment of crisis, I know we'll protect our democracy by standing up for ourselves and each other. We have defeated corruption before. We have changed our system together before. And we will do it again.

Approximately 3000 Americans died of gun violence this month. 100 people a day, every day. It’s long past time for Congress to stand up to the gun lobby & confront this crisis head-on. @RepHankJohnson & I have a new bill for that. #EndGunViolenceBill warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
My big, bold Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act with @RepHankJohnson combines & builds upon Congress’s best common-sense gun safety legislation for one comprehensive bill to protect our kids & keep our communities safer. #EndGunViolenceBill
I’m grateful that our #EndGunViolenceBill has the support of the @NAACP, @GiffordsCourage, @AMarch4OurLives, @NewtownAction, @stophandguns, & a number of gun violence prevention, civil rights, public health, & community organizations in MA & across the country.

[THREAD] China Coronavirus Outbreak
A deadly virus is spreading from Asia, affecting hundreds of people and resulting in dozens of deaths, in what may become a gloabal health epidemic. This thread contains news about the outbreak.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus #WarWatch
On Dec 30, 2019, Chinese authorities confirmed cases of pneumonia of unknown cause in Wuhan, Hubei Province. A team of national experts was sent to carry out detection tests. Patients at a local seafood market were put in quarantine.
#Coronavirus #WuhanOutbreak #ChinaVirus
Liu Youning, a professor of epidemiology and respiratory medicine, told the Global Times that the #coronavirus found in #Wuhan appears to be far less serious than the virus that caused the severe acute respiratory syndrome (#SARS) or the Middle East respiratory syndrome (#MERS).

We desperately need #GunReform laws in the U.S. #MassacreMitch has an A+ rating by the NRA, & has taken $ MILLIONS, ensuring no gun laws pass.

R’s are handmaidens to the gun lobby, ensuring thousands die yearly, so long as they get #NRABloodMoney. courier-journal.com/story/news/pol…
Now #MassacreMitch has stated he will only allow a Senate vote on #GunReform laws IF #VeryStableGenius is guaranteed to sign it. He wants to be absolved of any responsibility.

What.

A.

Leader.
These deaths are on his hands though. He requests to be known as the Grim Reaper on passing legislation. He certainly lives up to the name.

The NRA is in Republicans’ pocketbooks as well as ears, telling them how to spread fear & lies about guns to the public.

We know better.

During the second hour, Holt will be joined by Chuck Todd and Rachel Maddow. You can expect the same debate moderator format for tomorrow’s event.
Now to the rules for tonight.

Have you noticed that the only time #mentalhealth ever really enters the national conversation is when it’s being used as a scapegoat for violence? [Thread]
1/
This despite the fact persons w/ mental health conditions are significantly more likely to be victims of violence, including gun violence, than perpetrators.

This despite the fact most Americans don’t have access to quality mental health care services & programs.

As we struggle w/ the heartbreaking news of 2 #MSDStrong students—Sydney Aiello, a 2018 grad/FAU student, & Calvin Desir, a sophomore at MSD—and Jeremy Richman, father of #SandyHook victim Avielle Richman, dying by suicide, we must discuss our national mental health crisis.
