BREAKING: The gun used in yesterday’s Louisville bank shooting was an AR-15-style rifle, federal law enforcement says. The SAME gun more than 30 law enforcement officers were AFRAID to confront in Uvalde that left 19 children dead. The SAME gun that’s been the weapon of choice in many of the most horrific mass shootings in recent memory, including the Covenant school shooting in Nashville just two weeks ago. The SAME gun brandished by Republican radicals like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Lauren Boebert. The SAME gun worn as a pin on the lapels of disgusting GOP lawmakers. This is what we need to scream everywhere: If 30 armed officers wearing full tactical gear with ballistic shields are too afraid to confront a single gunman with an AR-15, they SHOULD NOT be in the hands of civilians. We have the answer. It’s the guns. BAN ASSAULT RIFLES NOW.

JUST IN: Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson will likely be reappointed to their seats after they were expelled from the Tennessee House!! For Jones, his now empty seat will be filled by the Metro Nashville Council, and a majority of members already say they’ll reappoint Jones back to the seat for the duration before the special elections occurring later this year. For Pearson, The Shelby County Commission, which has a Democratic majority, is expected to do something similar. This is GREAT NEWS! 💙

JUST IN: Michelle Obama has been named one of USA TODAY’s “Women of the Year,” a recognition of women who have made a significant impact in their communities and across the country.  When told about the honor, Michelle Obama was asked if she had a guiding mantra. Her answer wasn’t surprising to the people who love her most: “Barack and I really did use “going high” as a mantra when the critics were loudest,” she said. “For us, going high was a line in the sand, a decision point – a place to step back and decide who we wanted to be. It’s not always easy to go high, of course. But unlike making the choice to take the low road, going high will never, ever diminish who you are. It always helps us shine our brightest and lead lives with a little more dignity.” Congratulations Michelle Obama! 💙
