Universal background checks and closing the gun show loophole have huge, bi-partisan public support. Are there 60 senators willing to act? — PolitiTweet.org

The debate has become so familiar it’s numbing: “Thoughts and prayers. “ “Don’t dishonor the victims by ‘politicizing’ their deaths.” “No gun laws would have stopped this.” Stall, stall, stall. And on to the next massacre. Will this time be different?!? — PolitiTweet.org

In a break from coverage of the Boulder massacre, I just caught a cable TV ad in AZ for a retail gun shop, complete with a helpful store clerk showing a customer a semi-automatic rifle. — PolitiTweet.org

Listening to the hesitance of CO authorities to divulge too much before they contact families, I was reminded of a time, as a young reporter, when I made a call to get a comment from the family member of a victim, only to find out she hadn’t been told. Let them do their jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

As the dreadful details begin to trickle out from Boulder about yet another mass shooting, it needs to be said again that the frequency of these random massacres with firearms are a uniquely American phenomenon. — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, I spoke work @KeishaBottoms about being a finalist last year for @VP w/ @JoeBiden. “Of course, I wanted him to choose me. And I said, if you pick me, I promise you we can take Georgia. Well, clearly, he didn't need me for that!” Pod👉 https://t.co/9ktYYfqVFl https://t.co/GFFSknAbMq — PolitiTweet.org

If the senate reinstates the “talking filibuster,” they should consider turning off the cameras at the same time. Can you imagine some of these characters when presented with the prospect of unlimited TV time? https://t.co/L3DHwbEvbz — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, @KeishaBottoms predicts that if the “awful” Georgia suppression bills become law and are allowed to stand, voters there will not be deterred. “If it happens, it's even more reason we've got to show up to vote.” Pod👉 https://t.co/9ktYYfqVFl https://t.co/Wtxl98DPrU — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, @KeishaBottoms shares searing memories of visiting her dad in prison. “It was just a gym full of black men in prison uniforms, their kids hanging on to their legs & arms & just trying to hold them close for as long as they could.” Pod👉 https://t.co/9ktYYfqVFl https://t.co/XbvqYEZd7w — PolitiTweet.org

In the ‘60s, Major Lance was a big R&B artist. But in the ‘70s his career waned and drugs took hold. In our #AxeFiles conversation, @KeishaBottoms talked about the awful day she watched her dad led off in handcuffs-and it’s impact on her family.

The Atlanta-area massacre has again exposed the fault lines in American politics, with Democrats focusing on the heinous murders as a hate crime and the @GOP focusing on attacks over Trump’s provocative anti-Asian speech as a “cancel culture” issue. — PolitiTweet.org

On the #AxeFiles, Mayor @KeishaBottoms cast doubt on the shooter’s claim that the Atlanta massacre was not an anti-Asian hate crime. “Keeping in mind that we're listening to confessed murderer...So we have to take it all with a grain of salt.” Pod👉 https://t.co/9ktYYfqVFl https://t.co/yGj156T8Vv — PolitiTweet.org

I sat down for the #AxeFiles yesterday with Mayor @KeishaBottoms of Atlanta, hours after the shootings at Asian massage parlors there.

There has been a lot of revisionist history recently about the 2009 recovery act—what actually was done; what was possible and why. I’ll have more to say about this soon, but here’s an excellent and accurate post on all this by @danpfeiffer: https://t.co/qnBr2RHCPd — PolitiTweet.org
