Never, ever forget that Marco Rubio looked a kid who watched his friends slaughtered in the eye and refused to say he would not take NRA money. When the kid offered to raise the money for him, he still refused. Rubio is supposed to be a moderate republican. This is pathetic.
Florida school shooting survivor Cameron Kasky challenges Sen. Marco Rubio: "Can you tell me right now that you will not accept a single donation from the NRA?"

Update: The vote has formally been scheduled. An NBA team threatened to go on strike and got a dormant police reform bill into a scheduled voting session immediately. This is the power they are wielding and continue to exercise.
As the Bucks players returned to the locker room, they turned to their owner for help to take action. He called the WI. state house as they discussed a police reform bill. By nightfall, the governor was calling for a special vote on it.
