Big decision in the MN AG suit against Glock yesterday, in which Judge Sande denied Glock’s motion to dismiss in full. The Clinic looks forward to digging into discovery as the case proceeds. www.fox9.com/news/glock-l...

We refuse to accept constant grief and fear as our normal. We should not have to mourn our coworkers and community members stolen by preventable mass shootings. In honor of the victims, survivors, and the communities impacted by this horrific shooting, we continue our work to #EndGunViolence.

All we need... more access to guns.
Donald Trump Jr. wants to turn his gun company into “the Amazon of guns”—making it even easier to buy firearms and ammo online. Next week, GrabAGun goes public under the ticker symbol PEW.

Clever, Donnie.

It has been 3 years since the tragedy in Uvalde.

Today, I mourn the children and teachers whose lives were stolen.

We cannot give up on the fight against senseless gun violence.

It's a policy choice — we can stop the violence with the political will.

Military will need that money when he illegally mobilizes it to quash the riots for food.
Trump: $1 trillion military budget, General. $1 trillion. People say could you cut it back? I said I'm not cutting 10 cents. We can cut plenty of other things.

We apparently can’t afford healthcare but can afford silencers. Early this morning, House Republicans passed their budget bill and snuck in provisions to completely deregulate and cut taxes on silencers—costing American taxpayers $1.5 billion.

Don’t get it twisted: The GOP Tax Scam gives more handouts to the rich while kicking the working-class Americans they claim to support to the curb.

Millions of kids hungry at school, 14 million kicked off Medicaid, thousands of infrastructure projects at risk.

Our New Jersey volunteers took to the Capitol in Trenton—demanding action on illegal firearms, deadly Glock switches, and the urgent need for secure gun storage laws. They also joined partners in sounding the alarm on federal cuts to CVI programs and called for more state funding.

He did it. Trump just signed an executive order to begin dismantling the Education Department.

Gun violence is the leading killer of kids and teens in this country—and Trump is attacking the very programs and agencies that help keep them safe in their schools. Text READY to 644-33 to fight back.

101 of these men had no criminal records at all. This is fascism.
The video of Trump’s deportees arriving in El Salvador is horrific.

This is 21st century Nazism.

Identities concealed, trafficked to a foreign labour camp. No due process, no evidence of crime. Dehumanised.

Where is the global outrage?

The crime is historic; the normalisation catastrophic.
