Passing laws made by consulting big tech really fights back against big tech, by requiring them to get more data and certain ones be shielded from lawsuits

These groups would gladly have all personal info publicly searchable under the mere guise of protecting children. Parents need to parent their children, not random app developers. Phones already have parental controls
Parents shouldn’t have to battle Big Tech to protect their kids. The App Store Accountability Act restores parental consent and real oversight. Congress must act. @EnergyCommerce
Years ago he would have been separated and put in care, but a large group of people got angry and demanded we keep illegal alien families together, so now they get a choice, and that large group is now angry at the natural consequences of keeping illegal alien families together
Many people seem to be saying the SAVE act would cause millions to be barred from registering due to lacking proper documents. The act, as introduced, contains a section wherein states must create a system by which citzens without said documentation can prove citizenship.
Section 2(f) amending 52 USC 20507 by adding subsection (j) which includes the mention of the process mentioned, subsection (j)(2)(A). Current subsection (j) will become subsection (l)

Got flagged for "inauthentic behavior"
I don't automate my tweets.
I'm guessing it was me pointing out that the green hoodie guys at the Charlie Kirk assassination were wearing school colors, one had the school's soccer logo on the front, and linking to the school's .edu as proof
#HistoryMatters "A vague appeal to “history and tradition” is an inherently nebulous method — and a poor foundation for judicial practice and democratic principle." says Prof. @JRakove in his reflections @VitalCity about the 2nd amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
This position would include banning all "hunting rifle"
Armed extremism is not inevitable. It is a policy choice. The assassinations of Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman—like all acts of gun violence—were preventable.
Extremists will keep exploiting loopholes in our gun laws until our leaders act.

Accidents, even removing firearm related, are the number 1 cause of death under 18 in the US. Areas that have enacted your recommended laws show no correlation to a decrease in violence
Gun violence is the number one killer of kids in America. Thoughts and prayers alone have never been, and never will be enough to keep them safe.
We can’t let another child experience the trauma of gun violence. Text COURAGE to 34131 to join us in the fight today.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
CDC leading cause of death by age:
0-1 Congenital
1-4 Accidents
5-9 Accidents
10-14 Accidents
15-19 Accidents

The claim that guns are the leading cause for children was only true if children under 1 year are excluded and 18 and 19 year olds are counted as children.

Great idea, maybe we should add an amendment to the constitution that any bill that isn't single issue has to be read, in it's entirety, on the floor before any vote on said bill can occur, with rereads for any changes
Unfound assertions and lies
Silencers make shootings deadlier and put law enforcement at increased risk. But the Trump admin and extremist Republicans were trying to make them accessible for anyone, no questions asked.
We thank leaders in the Senate, led by @SenSchumer, who spoke out against this provision and fought to have it removed, protecting communities across the country from crime and violence.
Gifford's out here blatantly lying again
VICTORY: The dangerous provision to remove background checks on all gun silencer and short barreled firearm sales was STRUCK from Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.”
This is a win for gun safety and American communities.

For decade, federal law has ensured only criminals have access to new MGs
Trump literally said he wasn't against abortions in cases of incest, rape, and danger to the mother. Kamala immediately said Trump would force a 13 year old incest victim to give birth
Why is SCOTUS only ever "extreme" when Republican appointed judges outnumber Democrat appointed judges?
We won’t tolerate an extremist Supreme Court that works for the gun lobby.
Our very own @JAdamSkaggs spoke on the impact of the MAGA Supreme Court and the fight for reform at the #DemConvention.
