This is a policy choice. Every day Republicans choose not to come to the table to work with Democrats on gun safety policies a vast majority of Americans agree on is another day putting more families at risk of being torn apart.

These workers courageously spoke out because they know lives are at risk if the Trump Administration keeps defunding disaster recovery. He’s punishing them for warning the public about future catastrophes.
BREAKING: Some FEMA employees who signed a public letter of dissent are put on administrative leave, according to documents reviewed by AP.
Because he's failing to bring down prices, President Trump is lashing out by trying to fire a Governor of the Federal Reserve. He doesn't have the power to fire these officials. He should stop trying to break the law and start taking actions to actually lower costs.
We can't stop natural disasters, but we can control how ready we are to respond to them. FEMA employees who have spent years helping communities recover are warning us this Administration's actions could risk a Katrina-level disaster. Secretary Noem should resign.
FEMA Employees Warn that Trump is Gutting Disaster Response
After Hurricaine Katrine, Congress passed a law to strengthen the nation's disaster response. FEMA employees say the Trump administration has reversed that progress.
First, the Trump Administration defied a direct court order and deported Kilmar Ábrego García to El Salvador. Now, they're trying to deport him to Uganda. They’re making a mockery of the rule of law.
President Trump vowed to lower electricity bills. But his policies are forcing hardworking families to pay 10% more each month. That’s on top of him ruining trading relationships with our allies and eliminating green jobs.
President Trump announced he won’t allow Palestinian children to be evacuated to the U.S. for medical treatment. America has long allowed hospitals to treat innocent children who are victims of war around the world. This is cruel.
Prime Minister Netanyahu's plan is clear: remove Palestinians from northern Gaza. A new offensive will not bring back the hostages or feed starving Palestinian children. It will only prolong the suffering.
Israel to call up around 60,000 reservists before planned offensive on Gaza City, says Israeli military official – Middle East crisis live
President Trump lost the 2020 election. Mail-in voting is safe and secure. Trump is pushing lies about our elections because he can’t admit that. I will block any order that limits the ability of Vermonters to vote.
On Tuesday, I visited Snow Farm in South Hero to hear from Vermonters about the impact of President Trump’s policies on the economy. They shared with me their worry that already high prices are getting even worse because of his actions. Working families can't afford his agenda.
Peter hosts a listening session in South Hero to hear from Vermonters about the challenges they are facing from President Trump’s economic policies.
