This is disgusting. @RepRaskin is one of the smartest, most effective & most compassionate members of Congress & I’m proud to serve with him. Criticizing anyone for discussing the tremendous pain of losing a child is cruel. @mattgaetz should be ashamed and apologize immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight, I'm looking forward to hearing the findings from the January 6th Committee. Those who incited violence on that day and who continue to peddle the Big Lie must be held accountable to protect our democracy. https://t.co/2DDMoysWid — PolitiTweet.org

Children shouldn't have to wear bulletproof backpacks to school, but yet there have been more than 25 school shootings in 2022 in America. This week, House Democrats passed multiple gun safety reforms to keep our kids safe. It's time for the Senate and Republicans to step up. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The thing that is most difficult about Jan. 6 is not just what happened on the day, it’s what happened in the aftermath. 57 insurrectionists are running for elected office in 2022. Our democracy is still at stake — and we must step up and protect it. https://t.co/eJweZxybcl — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Out of all of these gun safety reforms, the ONLY ONE Republicans voted for doesn't actually change any gun laws. They are not the pro-life party. They are the pro-gun party and their thoughts and prayers will never be followed up with action. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 7th provision and the only one the GOP supported: This provision requires an annual report from DOJ that contains demographic data (race, age, etc.) of those determined to be ineligible to purchase a firearm based on a background check. ✅ 160 Republicans voted for this ✅ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 6th provision: The Keep Americans Safe Act. This provision prohibits the importation, sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of a magazine that holds more than 15 rounds of ammo. ❌ 203 Republicans voted against this ❌ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 5th provision: The Closing the Bump Stock Loophole Act. This provision regulates bump stocks, like the one used in Las Vegas that fired 1,000 shots into a crowd in the most deadly shooting in US history. ❌ 194 Republicans voted against this ❌ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 4th provision: Safe Storage. This provision included multiple bills that create federal standards for safe gun storage and establish real consequences for gun owners whose improper storage leads to death or injury. ❌ 203 Republicans voted against this ❌ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 3rd provision: The Untraceable Firearms Act. This bill closes loopholes on ghost guns, ensuring that ghost guns, including 3D printed guns, are subject to existing federal firearm regulations. ❌ 193 Republicans voted against this ❌ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 2nd provision: The Prevent Gun Trafficking Act. This bill is designed to combat illegal gun purchases and transfers — making a new federal offense for those who purchase guns for someone who is legally unable to do so. ❌ 196 Republicans voted against this ❌ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

The 1st provision: The Raise the Age Act. This bill raises the age to purchase semiautomatic guns to 21. ❌ 197 Republicans voted against this ❌ — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

ICYMI last night, the House voted to pass seven gun reforms in one larger package, the Protecting Our Kids Act. On all but one provision, nearly every single Republican voted no. So what were they voting against? 🧵 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Last night, the House voted to raise the purchase age of semiautomatic weapons, ban ghost guns and bump stocks, and require safe storage. Today, we'll vote to enhance red flag laws that remove firearms from people who are a threat to themselves and others. Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

On Jan 6th, I was trapped in the gallery and was prepared to fight back using a cane and a gas mask. We cannot forget the horror of that day, fueled by the Big Lie. Tonight, the Jan 6th Committee will take a major step towards accountability. https://t.co/WYsuJkUCWJ — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight the House said NO MORE to mass shootings, to the murdering of our children, our family members, our friends. Now it's the Senate's turn to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This is incredibly upsetting and is the exact outcome many of us warned these draconian anti-trans laws would cause. As the proud mom of a beautiful trans kid, my heart is with this family. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

How anyone can listen to this and still vote against gun reform is beyond me. Democrats are taking action. It's time for the GOP to stand up and decide that children's lives are more important than guns. https://t.co/JU69WKVEa8 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

I'm proud to co-lead @RepBowman's resolution to condemn the "great replacement theory." We must all emphatically stand up and fight back against white supremacy, racism and hatred in this country. https://t.co/tHjKBGEkcm — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

If members of law enforcement break the law or violate a person's constitutional rights they should be held accountable. This ruling sets a dangerous precedent. https://t.co/QAGuQLzhKe — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Today the House will vote on the Protecting Our Kids Act — common sense gun safety reforms that will save lives. Today we can choose to mean it when we say never again. It's time to pass this critical legislation. https://t.co/ftKmNWkinG — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Here's a thought for them: maybe it's time to stop defending a twice-impeached president who attempted a coup. https://t.co/iElWxRqXt2 — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

This child's friend was shot right next to her. She survived by covering herself in her friend's blood and playing dead. It is disgusting that our country constantly puts gun rights over the safety of our children. We can never let this happen again. https://t.co/iaH5GjFdDk — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in America. Today, I will vote for the Protecting Our Kids Act — to enact major gun safety reforms. Enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Pramila Jayapal @RepJayapal

No parent or child should ever be forced to suffer like this. Thoughts and prayers aren't enough. We can never let this happen again. https://t.co/I7Ibu9cx0C — PolitiTweet.org

If Roe is overturned, 20 states with 25.5 million women of reproductive age would face restrictions and outright abortion bans. This is unacceptable. Congress must act to guarantee the right to legal abortion in this country. — PolitiTweet.org
