Extending huge sincere thanks to @CherylScottWX and @DavidMuir @ABCWorldNews for sharing my footage of Monday's supercell thunderstorm in Chicago.

This morning I read the messages I receive after mass shootings. These are from students, parents, & teachers who are scared for their lives & are demanding we do something.
I know my colleagues across the aisle get these too. Do they care? Is their inaction worth the NRA money?

Eleven-year-old Jude Kofie, of Aurora, Colorado, demonstrated a remarkable talent no one anticipated when he discovered an old keyboard and, without any lessons, began playing - a talent piano tuner Bill Magnusson termed "Mozart level." cbsn.ws/3ih52KV

Tonight's victory belongs to everyone in the 11th District who voted to keep science and facts at the forefront of our policy debates in Washington DC, and I am so grateful to everyone who worked so hard to make this victory possible.

Rep. Bill Foster (D-IL) apologizes to committee witnesses after Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) questions nursing home experts about the Wuhan lab leak theory: "As you can see, the U.S. Congress is not constrained in talking about things we know nothing about."
Jordan then throws a fit.

I finally removed these things from my life.
And I'm happier & more productive because of it.

Gov. Doug Ducey of Arizona signed a measure into law that makes it illegal for people to record videos within eight feet of police activity. Civil rights and news media organizations have objected to the law as a violation of free speech protections. nyti.ms/3PiYOF9

I ran from a mass shooting today with my two little girls in my arms. We got separated from my wife. We hid behind a car and then sheltered in the apartment of some good Samaritans for 5 hours watching swat teams from the windows. We are all ok but we’re angry, very very angry. – at Highland Park, IL

An #Afghan old man appeared in the 7th decade of his life. He experienced decades of war and now yesterday’s #earthquake has taken his family members and everything he had.

This little child is probably the only remaining alive member of her family. Locals say they couldn’t find any alive member of her family. She looks like a 3 years old baby.
