Another mass shooting—this time at Brown University. When Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban was in place, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and Republicans let it expire, deaths skyrocketed by 239%.

Another horrific school shooting in America. My heart is with the students, their loved ones and the entire Brown University community.
Our kids deserve leaders who will do everything they can to keep them safe from gun violence.
Congress must do more.

How can ICE find a random, undocumented person while they're out shopping or at a restaurant, but an entire university with multiple cameras can't fully describe the Brown University shooter?
How could the shooter evade multiple cameras?
This clearly isn’t Tom Cruise’s ‘Mission Impossible.’

In 1993, Trump signed mortgages for 2 homes in Florida, claiming each as his principal residence.
He does not appear to have ever lived in either, let alone used them as a principal residence. They were investment properties & rented out.
Yet he accuses others of fraud?

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

A quick sidenote about this; one reason I stay on X is specifically because of exchanges like this, where @davidjbier.bsky.social and I got a prominent government official to make a claim so outrageous that it’s now ricocheting around the internet and actively undermining official PR campaigns.
Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.
