Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

There you have it. Trump wants completely botched disaster responses led by incompetent politicians who refused to install flood warning sirens because taxes are socialism.

Helpless? Prayers? That’s what pastors and civilians should be doing. We pay members of Congress to ask hard questions, start investigating,and find out if the government could have done more. Do it now before the next storm. We aren’t paying you to pray. We are paying you to help all of us.

Can you imagine the sheer cruelty of looking at America right now and saying we should raise $1.2 billion by raising taxes 27% on people making under $15,000 a year — so that we can cut the taxes of people making over a million by a token 3 percent?! The cruelty astounds.
