We track car purchases, poultry, meat and romaine lettuce, we even track decongestants, but @Cindyhydesmith wants to make it ILLEGAL to keep records of gun purchases. And she's BRAGGING about it. Vote @espyforsenate
Mississippi Sen Cindy Hyde-Smith: "I introduced a bill that would not allow any federal dollars to go toward keeping records for anyone purchasing weapons. Nothing is more important than our gun rights. I'm a lifetime @NRA member." Vote @espyforsenate

Just learned about this tonight. It's shocking. In 2007, a law took effect: if you worked in public services & made student loan payments on time for 10 years, you'd get loan forgiveness. In 2017, first wave of people became eligible. Guess what Trump did? https://t.co/XgRYUVdS8j
cnbc.com
The Education Department reports that less than 100 people have had their student loans forgiven under the public service loan forgiveness program.

Even more ironic: a senator who doesn’t grasp the difference between someone making a major error and slandering someone by accusing them of a crime based on zero evidence. Keep clowning.
I don’t believe ballot design will turn out to be a determining factor. But how ironic would it be if those who are now bashing our criticism of Snipes in the end wind up arguing that a ballot design error made by her is the reason the Democrats lost? https://t.co/NAEUu1GhLY

Medical professionals to NRA: Guns are our lane. Help us reduce deaths or move over. https://t.co/FTAXwLwotr via @usatoday

The NRA should work with us to reduce the death toll from guns. We bear witness to this devastating epidemic. We're not-anti-gun, we're anti-bullet hole.

The “ Commander in Chief”’disgraced the United States Marine Corps today. He is a disgrace
On the Marine Corps' 243rd birthday, President Trump has cancelled, because of light rain, his long-planned attendance at the ceremony at Aisne-Marne, where Marines who fought at Belleau Wood are buried. The WH COS and JCS Chair will be there. The President couldn't be bothered.

@EdKrassen @realDonaldTrump "As we sit here in the rain, thinking how uncomfortable we must be these minutes as our suits get wet and our hair gets wet and our shoes get wet, I think it's all the more fitting that we remember on that day, in Dieppe, the rain wasn't rain, it was bullets," Justin Trudeau
