Let me reiterate, this type of enforcement is not welcome in Baltimore. The presence of ICE has not made our city any safer, and in fact has led to greater fear and anxiety, especially for our immigrant neighbors.
I stand with our immigrant families who have been impacted by detentions. If your loved one has been arrested by ICE, I encourage you to call 888-214-6016.
Help is available through my Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs.

Solving the crisis of gun violence in our communities means looking at the whole picture – and that includes making sure gun dealers are operating responsibly, not profiting off of gun violence.

The gun lobby's #1 goal was to make the Texas primary a referendum on Cornyn's work with Dems on guns. They failed miserably, by every measure.
Was literally the least important issue, least effective attack. Why? Because even Paxton voters SUPPORTED WHAT CORNYN DID.

NEW: The gun lobby lacks the juice in Texas.
Fresh polling shows Texas Rs—even Paxton voters—support Cornyn's 2022 bipartisan gun bill. He's in rough shape, but not because of that.
Commonsense gun laws are popular across party lines—even in Texas.

San Diego Police Chief Scott Wahl at mosque shooting presser: "It's fair to say that all religious facilities across this country, around the world, in today's world, are well aware of the risks that are associated. It's an unfortunate reality of the world we live in today."

Today, the DOJ & ATF unveiled 34 proposed rules to weaken gun safety regulations that have proven effective in preventing illegal gun trafficking while respecting the Second Amendment. We're expecting more details in the coming days, but my initial reactions 🧵1/7

We know that the absence of universal background checks fundamentally weakens every other gun safety measure on the books. Acting AG Todd Blanche characterized this as 'the most comprehensive regulatory reform package in the history of ATF.' 6/7

In reality, it is an irresponsible effort to strip away life-saving protections to maximize corporate profits. Now is the time to strengthen, not eliminate, the common-sense regulations that have contributed to the falling rates of gun violence in recent years. 7/7

Can't believe they are saying the White House Correspondents Dinner will go on.
National treasure Wolf Blitzer tackled to the ground by police to protect him from gunman who was few feet away. Glass shattering from estimated 6 shots.
This is not okay.

Federal child care policy has moved — slowly, imperfectly — toward stronger affordability protections for families. The copayment cap was one of those hard-won guardrails. Now, the Trump admin wants to overturn that win. From yours truly & @kcpeeks: americanprogress.org/article…

FPC is stealing my bit and are now publicly admitting they’ve politically marginalized themselves.
FPC has provided the Trump Administration, the White House, DOJ, and ATF, with dozens of lawful actions that could be taken to protect peaceable gun owners and the right to keep and bear arms. Nearly all have been ignored.
