#GOP spend more time talking about restricting rights of LGBQT+, bathrooms, and other people's genitals than talking about the no.1 killer of children and teens. Hold GOP accountable for #gunviolence until they do something about it. Thoughts and prayers just lead to more deaths from gun violence.

My hot take: the focus on tariffs by DJT was a grift from the start. Not just influence + pay to play for tariff relief but also a literal cut of the tariff revenue.
