BREAKING: In a SHOCKING move, two Texas Republicans just joined the Democrats to PASS the “Raise The Age” gun control bill out of committee in the Texas Legislature!
That's right – TEXAS!
Don't ever let anyone tell you we can't win. Because we WILL.
@MomsDemand is the gun control group behind getting Raise The Age bill passed out of committee in Texas!
Follow Moms Demand Action to show your support, and help them get bills like this passed in EVERY state!
@MomsDemand The NRA has lost the respect of every sane American. That's why they still have Republicans locked in.
But when they start to lose Republican politicians to advocacy groups for the PEOPLE like @MomsDemand – as they just did in Texas – you KNOW the NRA is f**ked.

WOW: Kevin McCarthy just got caught violating a court order to investigate Trump's finances in his time as president.
Check🧵 for details and updates now.
Republicans are trying to quietly decline to enforce a court-supervised settlement agreement that ordered Mazars USA, Trump's former accounting firm, to produce financial records to Congress.
Those records show whether Trump illegally benefitted financially from his presidency
Republican James Comer, Chairman of the Oversight and Accountability Committee, has abandoned any investigation into former President Trump's financial dealings, pretending not to know about the obligation to do so. Guess what he's investigating instead?
HELL YEAH!! Hunter Biden's lawyer Kevin Morris says Biden is considering filing DEFAMATION lawsuits against Fox News, Eric Trump and Rudy Giuliani. Who agrees he should?

@CalltoActivism Hunter Biden should SUE Fox News into the ground, who agrees?
FUN FACT: States that voted for Biden have per capita murder rates that are 60 percent LOWER than states that voted for Trump.
Republicans have repeatedly blamed Democratic policies in big cities for a rise in murder rates during the pandemic. In fact, Republican states are reporting MUCH HIGHER homicide rates, and some of the highest murder rates are in cities led by GOP mayors. salon.com/2022/03/16/dem…
In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% HIGHER in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden. In fact, 8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in EVERY election this century. thirdway.org/report/the-red…
🧵About half of eligible Americans have received booster shots, there have been nearly 80 million confirmed Covid infections overall, and many more infections were never reported. It’s estimated that 73% of Americans are immune to Omicron, and that could rise to 80% by mid-March.
This will prevent or shorten new illnesses in protected people and reduce the amount of virus circulating overall, likely tamping down new waves. Experts agree hospitals will get a break from overwhelmed ICUs. Future spikes will likely require far less—if any—societal disruption.
“We have changed,” said Ali Mokdad, professor of health metrics sciences at the Univ. of Washington. “We have been exposed to this virus and we know how to deal with it. I am optimistic even if we have a surge in summer, cases will go up, but hospitalizations & deaths will not.”
