I am working toward safer communities with bills like the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. But extreme, MAGA Republicans have sided with the gun lobby and continue to block life-saving, common-sense gun safety solutions at every turn. #EndGunViolence https://t.co/H5qifKgLEq — PolitiTweet.org

The fact that Brittney Griner received a nine-year sentence for her actions is a miscarriage of international justice. She is a pawn in the U.S/ Russian diplomatic battles. I hope Pres. Biden finds a way to secure her release and return to America soon. https://t.co/jAShRdflCS https://t.co/YMzoxHGUah — PolitiTweet.org
