President Biden is scheduled to deliver remarks at 8:15 p.m. ET on Tuesday in response to a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The President ordered all U.S. flags on federal property to be flown at half-staff until May 28 as a “mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence.”
“You cannot explain this through a prism of mental illness because we’re not an outlier on mental illness — we’re an outlier when it comes to access to firearms,” Murphy said.
Heidi & I are fervently lifting up in prayer the children and families in the horrific shooting in Uvalde.
We are in close contact with local officials, but the precise details are still unfolding.
Thank you to heroic law enforcement & first responders for acting so swiftly.
I’ll continue to give them my thoughts and prayers while I swill good food and liquor provided by the gun lobby this week.

Hypocrites! How is this pro-life! Phoney Christians you are.Thoughts and prayers yet again. 14 children, a teacher are dead and more in the hospital. I am with Fred Guttenberg on this -just go fuck yourself Ted and Cornyn you too.
I wonder what the NRA response would be if a heavily armed person walked into one of their convention parties and offed a bunch of gun executives and lobbyists?
Guess what’s happening in Houston on Friday? The NRA annual convention. Guess who’s scheduled to speak? Governor Abbott, and TFG.
I am sick of kids getting killed , people of color being killed, the second anniversary of George Floyd being killed, the 30th school shooting of 2022.
Here’s the schedule for the NRA weekend. It needs to be taken down.
Cornyn: “No parent, child, or teacher should ever have to wonder whether it’s safe to go to school”. However, thanks to the leadership of the congressional GOP, including myself, on the issue of guns and mass murder, every parent, child, teacher worries every day that it’s not safe to go to school. Or to the grocery store. Or to the movies. Or to a nightclub. Or to work. Or to church. And I make a solemn promise this day, that the GOP will not stop until you have to fear being shot dead by a stranger in every single place in this great nation.
All these people doing the praying? They really really suck at it. It’s almost like it was merely a superstitious ritual meant to assist in avoiding consequences.
