Today marks 6 years since the devastating shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that claimed the lives of 20 children and 6 educators. As we reflect on this anniversary, I am struck that those children, who would be entering their teenage years, have not been honored with action. We cannot wait any longer, urgent and dramatic action is needed to end gun violence in America. #HonorWithAction

Today, the House should be wrapping up session to spend time working in our districts before the holidays, but instead Donald Trump and Republican Leadership are threatening to shut down the government – even more ridiculous when you consider that they control the House, Senate, and White House. New Democratic leadership cannot come soon enough!

General Mattis’s resignation letter makes is clear that Donald Trump is making irrational and impulsive decisions that are putting America’s national security at risk, alienating us from our trusted allies, and aligning us more and more with our adversaries. The departure of a level-headed voice in the room could make things even worse.
