I implore – beg – my Republican colleagues to join Democrats in finally making changes to our gun laws to help prevent Americans from re-living this gun tragedy far too often. We cannot continue to sit on our hands and allow innocent lives to be lost. Congress must act. — PolitiTweet.org

These former ATF Directors and leaders are rallying behind Steve Dettelbach because they know he is more than adequately prepared to lead the Bureau. ATF hasn’t had a Senate confirmed nominee since 2015. It’s time we get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, the House passed a bill to address the infant formula shortage. 190 Republicans objected. I’m live on the floor calling on Senate Republicans to avoid that kind of hypocrisy and join Dems to pass this bill ASAP. Watch: https://t.co/a9SJcEqbaw — PolitiTweet.org

The census recount should give pause to all of the critics who were so quick to peddle the Illinois desertion scenario. We have our challenges (ever read about the Chicago Fire?) but we need to face them honestly and not spread a tale of gloom and doom. https://t.co/2C0xa5mGSE — PolitiTweet.org
