An inspector general just found that the FBI is violating its own policies, leading to similar abuses as seen in the Larry Nassar investigation. Shameful.

Sandy Hook, Parkland, Santa Fe, Oxford, Uvalde, Nashville…and now Apalachee. Gun violence survivors are saying loud and clear: “Do something.” Democrats are ready to pass further gun safety legislation.

Today, Doug and I are mourning the deaths of those whose lives were cut short by gun violence at Apalachee High School in Georgia. Our hearts are with the students, teachers, and families impacted by this shooting, and we are grateful to the first responders and law enforcement
