1. The last question Chris asked...

and the Senator's response is such a sad commentary on where we are (starts around 11:20 mark).

2. Americans need to stop working until assault rifles are banned

and Democrats need to boycott Congress period.
The rest of the world does not want this part of American values/NRA and gun humper values. In fact looking at the data, the vast majority of Americans don't want this weapons wither.

3. Agreed, I think the Dems need to have another sit-in, as they did in 2016.

And we all need to vote for those rated F by the NRA (terrorist and treasonous organization), our lives literally depend on it.

4. I'm so lucky to have Murphy and Blumenthal as my senators.

If only more Americans had senators of this caliber.

5. about 5:30 or so in

100,000 dying from opioids and guns a year and (paraphrasing Sen. Murphy) we're debating spending $25 billion on a wall to protect us from a fictional enemy

His disgust is palpable and there's no doubt where it's aimed.

6. That was an important line

This has to stop
