Trump is telling Kim Jong-Un not to walk away because reaching a deal will make him very rich. WTF is happening. Dude is already rich. Not tjat great of a motivator. He already has all his country's money. Maybe he wants other country's money to? Trump is an idiot?

I am running out of things to say after these tragedies. I don't understand how people think the way things currently stand with our gun laws is OK when this shit keeps happening.
All I can say is that we need to vote a lot of people out of Congress and encourage others to do the same. I really hope those of age in this young generation are voting in November.

Trump met with postmaster general to ask for rates to be increased on Amazon. PG said it was established by contracts and defended the arrangements. Renato points out Trump is likely doing this as retaliation against bad WP press.

These school shootings are really taking a toll on me. I'm not done feeling sad and defeated from the last one before the next one happens.

Texas governor pledges to begin roundtable discussions on solutions to "prevent tragedies like this from ever happening again". Says they want to hear from everyone, including parents, students, members of the public, those who hold the second amendment in high esteem. Want to put together laws that honor the 2A but also help students and the public feel safe. Background checks, resources for mental health issues behind gun violence, possibly expand program currently in use in Lubbock, TX that identifies high risk students.
I know I missed stuff.
Searching other locations for explosive devices.
Shooter has information on cell phone, journals, etc. Wanted to commit suicide after shooting, but did surrender himself to authorities. Currently at Santa Fe PD, who are working in conjunction with FBI and other resources. Collaboration between fed and state prosecutors. Other persons of interests being interviewed.
According to info Governor has, guns were registered legally to shooter's father.
Counseling will be provided to everyone involved - victims, families and students at school.

At the NICS hearing he said some bullshit about putting more guns in churches and then left. He didn't hear any of the witness, expert or survivor testimony. He DGAF.

I can't even speak to the school shooting today. The panel were actually answering my question on the long term health effects on children who live under constant threat of gun violence and Rep Kelly interjected to share the news. It's enraging.

Hi-I posted about the shooting over on GD first thing this morning but it wasn’t received the way I anticipated so I’ve been quiet the rest of the day. SFHS is 12 miles from my home. My community is reeling.
This can’t keep happening. It just can’t. I have no words anymore. Those babies and their families—I’m heartbroken. And I’m sitting in the pickup line to get my 6yo and I’ve never wanted to squeeze her so much in my life. Give me my baby.

Hugs, donnamoss. It's heartbreaking enough when I'm thousands of miles away. I can't imagine being closer to it.

My employer has broad reach across the area so we have a lot of employees and partners that are dealing with personal impacts. These school shootings have always impacted me greatly...but today I saw first responders heading to the scene with my own eyes. I saw SWAT rolling a tank down a main road. It’s insane. And now 10 people. Most of them were children. Someone’s baby. I just don’t understand.

I am feeling this way too. Words aren’t enough. I’m so sad, angry, and frustrated w/ so many lawmakers (and anybody who thinks their right to carry a gun is more important than a human life). 😡😡😡😢

dc2london, thank you for going to the Hill and kicking some butt. Your pic and the fb ones have been a bright spot in an otherwise sad day. ❤️
