The most disturbing set of data on America that I have encountered in a long time. This transcends politics.
This is especially scary remembering that demographics were the best early warning on the collapse of the USSR.

Did you know? When Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After George W. Bush and the GOP let the assault weapons ban expire in 2004, mass shootings increased by 245%. — These numbers tell a story.

What GOP wants to do with power:
cut Social Security/Medicare
stop paying America's bills
30% national sales tax

In the four states with the most guns, the rate of accidental shootings was 700% HIGHER (!!!) than in the four states with the fewest guns.
Today we reintroduce Ethan’s Law, a bill to promote the safe storage of firearms in homes with children.
Let’s get it done.

This is a choice America makes.
It’s not bad luck. It’s not coincidence. It’s not predestined.
It’s a choice. And we can make a different choice.

Cheney: Two years ago. I won this primary with 73% of the vote. I could easily have done the same again. The path was clear. But it would've required that I go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election.. That was a path I could not and
would not take.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honor the victims and survivors of one of the darkest periods in our history. But it’s not enough to remember — we also need to have the courage to speak out against acts of bigotry and hatred whenever we see them.

Exploiting of the tragedy of people who suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany - including children like Anne Frank - in a debate about vaccines & limitations during global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral & intellectual decay.

One year ago, a violent attack on our Capitol made it clear just how fragile the American experiment in democracy really is. Here’s my statement on what the anniversary means, and what we need to do today.

6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines.
Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought.
Always invest in people.
