The Trump administration is playing musical chairs with the department in charge of enforcing gun safety laws. The ATF needs a director dedicated to the job — not someone who will split time with another job.

The Republican budget kicks millions of Americans off their health care just to hand trillions in giveaways to Trump's billionaire donors. While Republicans betray the middle class, Democrats are fighting for American families. @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's Democratic Daily Download:

RFK Jr. is a coward. I marched to the health department with my colleagues on the @energycommerce.bsky.social Health Subcommittee to demand an explanation for HHS layoffs and restructure. We received no response from RFK Jr. and his office. Americans deserve better from the health secretary.

Welcome to the Capitol, @ilattygeneral.bsky.social! Thank you for your hard work to combat the Trump administration’s unconstitutional actions in court.

This weekend, young adults discovered job and internship opportunities at my annual Youth Opportunities Fair at Hillcrest High School. This event is always one of my favorites, and it was a joy to see different employers and our youth connecting.

Trump is crashing the economy. His tariffs are a tax on the American people, and we will pay at the check-out counter for his recklessness. Don’t just take my word for it — this was Fox News this morning ⬇️

Gun crime takes lives and hurts communities. It's made worse by weak, outdated laws that let guns fall into dangerous hands. We applaud @robinkelly.house.gov for introducing the Federal Firearm Licensee Act to modernize our laws and close dangerous loopholes.

Rep. Kelly, Senator Durbin Introduces Bicameral Legislation to Update Laws Governing Licensed Firearm Dealers

I urge the Appropriations Subcommittee Members to reauthorize PEPFAR, a lifeline for millions with HIV & AIDS globally. In Latin America, I’ve seen the horrific role American tourists play in spreading HIV. We need to do our part in funding PEPFAR to end the HIV & AIDS pandemic.

Kris Brown | President, @BradyUnited.org@krisbrown.bradyunited.orgApr 4(source)

For too long the gun industry has put profits over people with insufficient oversight, allowing irresponsible businesses to fuel gun violence without accountability. We at @bradyunited.org are grateful for @robinkelly.house.gov & @durbin.senate.gov for introducing legislation to change that.

Senator Dick Durbin@durbin.senate.govApr 3(source)

I teamed up with @robinkelly.house.gov to introduce the Federal Firearm Licensee Act to ensure people who shouldn’t have guns aren’t able to get them. Updating laws for licensed firearm dealers is one of many steps we must take to address the gun violence epidemic in our country.

Laws regulating gun dealers haven’t been updated in over 30 years. I introduced the Federal Firearm Licensee Act with @Durbin.senate.gov to bring our gun safety laws into the 21st Century. Every gun dealer should ensure they don’t sell guns to people with dangerous intentions.

Congresswoman Robin Kelly@robinkelly.house.govApr 3(source)

Trump keeps saying the quiet part out loud: He does not care. Already, Trump’s tariffs have triggered a plunge in the stock market and sent investors reeling. Americans will pay for Trump’s trade war at the check-out counter as prices for everyday items skyrocket.

No hard feelings, Elon. It's just the most efficient move.

Two years ago, a gunman killed three children & three adults at the Covenant School in Tennessee. I’m thinking of their loved ones today and the children who were forever traumatized in their classrooms. Our children deserve a safer future.

Two years after the Covenant School shooting, Nashville holds tension of grief and hope

Two years after a shooting left six dead, The Covenant School released a statement honoring the victims, their families and survivors.

RFK Jr. wants every HHS employee to feel inspired… as he fires 10,000 more of their coworkers. These workers monitored infectious diseases, set standards for food and medication, and oversaw health insurance programs. Cuts to HHS won’t lower costs. People will pay with their lives.

GOOD NEWS: In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court upheld the federal ban on ghost guns. Ghost guns shoot and kill just like regular guns — except law enforcement couldn’t trace them. Now, ghost guns require a serial number and background check.

Supreme Court upholds ban on untraceable 'ghost guns' that are made from parts kits

Supreme Court, siding with the police, rules that hand-made guns can be restricted under federal law.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.” The receipts prove otherwise. Trump must fire Hegseth immediately. He was unfit to serve from the beginning and continues to endanger American troops.

Pete Hegseth texted war plans, including a time line, on a Signal group chat.
