Senate negotiators reach framework deal on bipartisan gun package
The deal, negotiated by Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, could be the most significant federal action on gun violence in nearly three decades.
bipartisan group of Senate negotiators is set to announce Sunday that it reached a tentative agreement on legislation that would pair modest new gun restrictions with significant new mental health and school security investments — a deal that could put Congress on a path to enacting the most significant national response in decades to acts of mass gun violence.
The framework deal was confirmed Sunday by three people involved in the negotiations who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss their status ahead of a formal announcement, which is expected midday.
While substantially weaker than the assault weapons ban, high-capacity ammunition magazine restrictions and broad background check expansions that most Democrats support, the gun provisions set out in the framework could, if enacted, represent the most significant new federal firearms restrictions enacted since the mid-1990s.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate bargainers announced a bipartisan framework Sunday responding to last month’s mass shootings, a modest breakthrough offering measured gun curbs and bolstered efforts to improve school safety and mental health programs.
Already, 10 Senate Republicans have signed on, including Sens. Cornyn, Tillis, Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.).10 Senate Democrats also support the deal, including Sens. Murphy, Sinema Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Cory Booker (D- N.J.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Angus King (I-Maine), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.).
The emerging framework comes nearly three weeks after 19 children and two teachers died in the Uvalde shooting. The killings in Texas occurred roughly a week after a racist mass shooter killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y. March for Our Lives, a gun safety group founded after the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Fla., held nationwide demonstrations on Saturday urging Congress to address gun violence.
While Sunday’s announcement is a major breakthrough, translating a framework into an actual bill often proves challenging. During last year’s bipartisan infrastructure negotiations, for example, more than six weeks passed between negotiators’ announcement of a framework and Senate passage of the resulting bill. And a GOP aide involved in the negotiations stressed that Sunday’s agreement was an “agreement on principles, not legislative text.”
“The plan, endorsed by 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats, would include funding for mental health resources, boosting school safety and grants for states to implement so-called red flag laws that allow authorities to confiscate guns from people deemed to be dangerous. It would also expand the nation’s background check system to include juvenile records for any prospective gun buyer under the age of 21.”
Washington Post: “That indicated that the agreement could have enough GOP support to defeat a filibuster, the Senate supermajority rule that has impeded prior gun legislation.”
But For buyers under 21 years of age, [the deal would require] an investigative period to review juvenile and mental health records, including checks with state databases and local law enforcement," the bipartisan group said.
A Republican aide involved in the negotiations stressed that the agreement is on principles -- not details, which will be critical for Republicans, particularly the firearms-related provisions. One or more of these provisions could be dropped, the aide said.
This is a great opportunity for both parties to keep our children alive
Midway through the 2022 primary season, many Democratic lawmakers and party officials are venting their frustrations with President Joe Biden’s struggle to advance the bulk of his agenda, doubting his ability to rescue the party from a predicted midterm trouncing and increasingly viewing him as an anchor that should be cut loose in 2024.
As the challenges facing the nation mount and fatigued base voters show low enthusiasm, Democrats in union meetings, the backrooms of Capitol Hill and party gatherings from coast to coast are quietly worrying about Biden’s leadership, his age and his capability to take the fight to former President Donald Trump a second time.
Interviews with nearly 50 Democratic officials, from county leaders to members of Congress, as well as with disappointed voters who backed Biden in 2020, reveal a party alarmed about Republicans’ rising strength and extraordinarily pessimistic about an immediate path forward.
Roger , yes i know your opinion came from the Guardian. And that is not at all what i asked you. You can't post what i asked , because it is not in Biden's inauguration speech.
You don't know anything.

Former Alaska governor and Republican ex-vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin leads in early results from Saturday’s special primary for the state’s only US House seat in what could be a remarkable political re-emergence.
Voters in the far north-western state are whittling down the list of 48 candidates running for the position that was held for 49 years by the late US Representative Don Young.

A bipartisan group of senators on Sunday announced a deal on framework of legislation aimed at reducing gun violence that includes funding for mental health and school security. Thus far, 10 Republican senators stated their support of the deal.
The agreement is currently in principle as legislative text has yet to be drafted. The deal comes in the wake of a series of mass shootings nationwide, including the tragic elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas late last month.
The deal includes enhanced background checks for buyers under the age of 21, funding for the expansion of mental health services and school security, and state grants to implement so-called “red flag” laws championed by Republicans that permit law enforcement to seek temporary removal of firearms from those who pose threats to themselves or others.
The deal closes the so-called “boyfriend loophole” in order to prevent a domestic abuse from purchasing a gun if they are convicted of abusing their partner.
Additionally, it seeks to crack down on illegal straw purchasers and firearms dealers without a license.
Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT), John Cornyn (R-TX), Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) and Thom Tillis (R-NC) serve as lead negotiators on the proposal, which requires 60 votes to reach the Senate floor. The bipartisan group of senators were in talks throughout the weekend on securing a deal and have been in talks with a larger bipartisan group of negotiators.
If passed, the deal would become the most significant legislation in gun safety in decades, despite falling short of proposals backed by President Biden and congressional Democrats to increase the minimum age of the purchase of some rifles from 18 to 21.
The deal follows the House’s vote last week to pass a package of gun control legislation named the Protecting our Kids Act. The package based sales of many semiautomatic rifles to those under 21, banned high-capacity magazines and pushed red-flag laws in both state and federal courts. I think it will pass
In May, an 18-year-old gunman entered an elementary school fourth-grade classroom in Uvalde, Texas and massacred 19 children and two teachers with a legally purchased AR-15.
The legislation requires a background check ✔️ even most of the GOP are conservative websites are not critical or conserved about 2nd amendment rights
Former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien will be among the witnesses testifying Monday before the House select committee investigating the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, the panel announced Sunday. Stepien will testify under subpoena, he told CNN.
CNN reported earlier that conservative Republican election attorney Ben Ginsberg would also appear before the committee during its next public hearing on Monday.
Other witnesses expected to testify Monday, according to the January 6 panel, include Chris Stirewalt, the former political editor at Fox; BJay Pak, the former US attorney for the North District of Georgia, and Al Schmidt , a former Philadelphia city commissioner.
Two sources familiar with the matter said Ginsberg is expected to testify that there was no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, despite claims by former President Donald Trump and his supporters. He will also speak about the failed court cases filed by Trump’s team.
Ginsberg is considered a leading Republican expert on election fraud and played a critical role in the Florida recount case in 2000 when then-candidate George W. Bush defeated then-Vice President Al Gore.
Even before the last presidential election, in a September 2020 essay, Ginsberg was vocal about the weakness of the former President’s claim of widespread voter fraud and criticized the assertions as lacking evidence and “unsustainable.”
Sunday news for America πΊπΈ Members of the House committee investigating Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn his 2020 election defeat called on Sunday for the US justice department to consider a criminal indictment for the former president and warned that “the danger is still out there”.
Their comments on the eve of the second of the panel’s televised hearings into the January 6 2021 insurrection and deadly Capitol attack will add further pressure on attorney general Merrick Garland, who has angered some Democrats by so far taking no action despite growing evidence of Trump’s culpability.

“There are certain actions, parts of these different lines of effort to overturn the election, that I don’t see evidence the justice department is investigating,” committee member Adam Schiff, Democratic congressman for California, told ABC’s This Week.
“I would like to see the justice department investigate any credible allegation of criminal activity on the part of Donald Trump.”
Schiff, who led Democrats’ prosecution of Trump at his first impeachment trial in 2020, said Thursday’s primetime televised hearing, which attracted 20 million viewers, provided “just a sample” of the evidence the panel has gathered.
During Monday’s daytime hearing, he said, the committee will “tell the story of how Trump knowingly propagated his big lie” that his election defeat by Joe Biden was stolen from him by fraud, and how that lie was used to spread disinformation by Trump and his allies.
“Once the evidence is accumulated by the justice department, it needs to make a decision about whether it can prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt the president’s guilt or anyone else’s,” Schiff said.
You really have become a prisoner of Trump. There's actually a mathematical formula to describe all the Republicans lining up to pretend like the January 6th attack didn't happen.

While Trump’s career seems to be on the rocks, things are going swimmingly chez Javanka. Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, made up to $640m in outside income while they were “working” in the White House and are raking in even more cash now. Jared’s new investment fund recently got $2bn from a fund led by the Saudi crown prince, who Jared spent a lot of time cozying up to while Trump was president. I’m not sure exactly what Mr Kushner did to inspire such confidence from the Saudis, but it must have been something big; $2bn is a huge amount of money. It can certainly buy you a lot of bonesaws.
Now that it seems unlikely Trump is going to be able to make any sort of political comeback, now that he is no longer of much use to Jared and Ivanka, expect the Great Javanka Rehabilitation tour of 2022 to come to a media outlet near you very soon. Expect to see a growing amount of favourable coverage about the pair; expect to see stories peppered with anonymous quotes about how Javanka spent the Trump presidency trying to do the right thing; how they desperately tried to stop the former president from disseminating the big lie. Please, whatever happens, let’s not let these people rewrite history. Ivanka and Jared could have chosen to publicly denounce Trump’s claims about the election being stolen in the immediate aftermath of the election. They could have done the right thing right away. They didn’t.
Between the lines: There's a political incentive for Republicans to allow very modest gun safety legislation to pass once they get past their primaries.
Americans want Congress to do something on guns, while Republicans want to go back to campaigning on inflation and the economy.As long as the GOP is seen as blocking gun legislation, the issue could divert voter attention from inflation and even become a political liability.Agreeing to modest measures — including those that encourage states to act but avoid major federal mandates — allows Republicans to get back to their original campaign focus.
Terrible news The string of consecutive weekend mass casualty incidents began over the Memorial Day holiday , when at least 17 shootings left a total of 13 dead and 79 injured in cities across the country, including Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tenn. Last weekend, at least 11 mass shootings erupted, leaving a total of 17 dead and 62 injured across the nation.
Since a May 14 suspected racially motivated attack at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket left 10 Black people dead and 18-year-old white teenager charged with multiple counts of murder, there have been at least 63 mass shootings nationwide, an average of two per day, including the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
Court filing offers new evidence of post-election breach in Coffee County, Ga.
By Emma Brown

Amy Gardner

A cybersecurity executive who has aided efforts by election deniers to investigate the 2020 vote said in a recent court document that he had “forensically examined” the voting system used in Coffee County, Ga. The assertion by executive Benjamin Cotton that he examined the county’s voting system is the strongest indication yet that the security of election equipment there may have been compromised following Donald Trump’s loss.
Representatives of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) said in April that while his office had investigated several election-related issues in Coffee County, none appeared to amount to a breach of equipment. In May, The Washington Post reported that former county elections official Misty Hampton had opened her offices to a man who was active in the election-denier movement to help investigate after the 2020 vote. Recounting the incident to The Post, Hampton said she did not know what the man, bail bond business owner Scott Hall, and his team did in her office.
In the new document, a sworn declaration filed Wednesday in a civil case in federal court in Arizona, Cotton, founder of the digital forensics firm CyFIR, wrote that he had examined Dominion Voting Systems used in several jurisdictions. Among them were Coffee County, Mesa County, Colo., and Maricopa County, Ariz., where he worked as a contractor on a Republican-commissioned ballot review.
The episode in Coffee County is one in a steady drip of revelations since the 2020 election about attempts by Trump allies to examine or copy tightly guarded voting machines to search for evidence of fraud. Some of those attempts have been aided by like-minded election officials, raising concerns about insiders as a growing threat to election security. Tina Peters, the clerk of Mesa County, was indicted in March on charges stemming from her participation in a successful effort to allow outsiders to copy voting-machine hard drives. Peters has denied wrongdoing and is running to be the Republican nominee for secretary of state.

Bombshell: Ex-Dominion Employee Has Fulton County "Re-Certify" Primary Results In Secret Meeting
Georgia’s primary elections have descended into chaos in Fulton County and DeKalb County — and Dominion Voting System machines are at the center of both scandals.
In fact, an ex-Dominion Voting Systems employee named Dominic Olomo appeared at an emergency election meeting (on a Sunday!) in Fulton County to announce that “discrepancies” in Dominion machines forced him to “recertify” the results of the primary election without having any vote totals to verify!
Kevin Moncla @KevinMoncla π¨ BROKEN! Fulton County recertified the primary election results on a Sunday afternoon in an emergency session. Dominic Olomo (former Dominion) told the board that some poll managers didn't save the results file to the Flashcard-This is 100% bullshit. @HarriHursti @jhalderm June 6th 2022
Watch this exchange too. Kevin Moncla @KevinMoncla Not only did Dominic give the Fulton County BRE a FALSE reason (100%) why the election results required recertification, but then he didn't know how many votes were changed, added, or affected. Then the BRE certified the results without even knowing what the changes were! π€¬RT! June 6th 2022
Fulton County’s election board required no numbers, no data, nothing to “re-certify” their primary results— they just took the word of Dominic Olomo. Can you believe the stupidity on display here? (For more details on this corrupt Fulton County meeting, read these great articles here and here.) Fulton County simply voted to certify election results without having any of the election results.

Americans want Congress to do something on guns,
There in lies why this is such a horrific idea.
Do something. When I challenged my mom today on what 14,001st law would make this different, she couldn’t tell me…
Do something
Terrible news
The string of consecutive weekend mass casualty incidents began over the Memorial Day holiday , when at least 17 shootings left a total of 13 dead and 79 injured in cities across the country, including Philadelphia, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, Memphis and Chattanooga, Tenn. Last weekend, at least 11 mass shootings erupted, leaving a total of 17 dead and 62 injured across the nation.
Since a May 14 suspected racially motivated attack at a Buffalo, New York, supermarket left 10 Black people dead and 18-year-old white teenager charged with multiple counts of murder, there have been at least 63 mass shootings nationwide, an average of two per day, including the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, in which 19 students and two teachers were killed, according to the Gun Violence Archive.
The coup started days after election day.

Democracy Dies in Darkness
Court filing offers new evidence of post-election breach in Coffee County, Ga.

A cybersecurity executive who has aided efforts by election deniers to investigate the 2020 vote said in a recent court document that he had “forensically examined” the voting system used in Coffee County, Ga. The assertion by executive Benjamin Cotton that he examined the county’s voting system is the strongest indication yet that the security of election equipment there may have been compromised following Donald Trump’s loss.
Representatives of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) said in April that while his office had investigated several election-related issues in Coffee County, none appeared to amount to a breach of equipment. In May, The Washington Post reported that former county elections official Misty Hampton had opened her offices to a man who was active in the election-denier movement to help investigate after the 2020 vote. Recounting the incident to The Post, Hampton said she did not know what the man, bail bond business owner Scott Hall, and his team did in her office.
In the new document, a sworn declaration filed Wednesday in a civil case in federal court in Arizona, Cotton, founder of the digital forensics firm CyFIR, wrote that he had examined Dominion Voting Systems used in several jurisdictions. Among them were Coffee County, Mesa County, Colo., and Maricopa County, Ariz., where he worked as a contractor on a Republican-commissioned ballot review.
The episode in Coffee County is one in a steady drip of revelations since the 2020 election about attempts by Trump allies to examine or copy tightly guarded voting machines to search for evidence of fraud. Some of those attempts have been aided by like-minded election officials, raising concerns about insiders as a growing threat to election security. Tina Peters, the clerk of Mesa County, was indicted in March on charges stemming from her participation in a successful effort to allow outsiders to copy voting-machine hard drives. Peters has denied wrongdoing and is running to be the Republican nominee for secretary of state.

Hey roger, you do realize that over this same time span Joe is responsible for 9,000 deaths from drug overdoses he has failed to address.
He has left the border wide open.
He has let felons go because of "equity"
black on black crime has soared
let alone the myriad of other crises he has caused.
But he has made the Ukranian oligarchs a lot richer
and Hunter is really happy
He is immune from any of Joe's laws
guns, drugs, prostitutes and money are flowing in
what an artist
and if you are going to capitalize Black you should do the same for White
that would be equality
but Joe is terrible news
https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2022/06/12/coffee-county-georgia-dominion-breach/
And roger examining election machines is something that needs to be done to ensure election integrity.
Why wasn't this done transparently before ?
We should just take people at their word ?
Guess authoritarians would be for that
and dictators
you know people like Joe
Bombshell: Ex-Dominion Employee Has Fulton County "Re-Certify" Primary Results In Secret Meeting
Georgia’s primary elections have descended into chaos in Fulton County and DeKalb County — and Dominion Voting System machines are at the center of both scandals.
In fact, an ex-Dominion Voting Systems employee named Dominic Olomo appeared at an emergency election meeting (on a Sunday!) in Fulton County to announce that “discrepancies” in Dominion machines forced him to “recertify” the results of the primary election without having any vote totals to verify!

@KevinMoncla
π¨ BROKEN!
Fulton County recertified the primary election results on a Sunday afternoon in an emergency session. Dominic Olomo (former Dominion) told the board that some poll managers didn't save the results file to the Flashcard-This is 100% bullshit. @HarriHursti @jhalderm

Watch this exchange too.

@KevinMoncla
Not only did Dominic give the Fulton County BRE a FALSE reason (100%) why the election results required recertification, but then he didn't know how many votes were changed, added, or affected. Then the BRE certified the results without even knowing what the changes were! π€¬RT!
June 6th 2022
Fulton County’s election board required no numbers, no data, nothing to “re-certify” their primary results— they just took the word of Dominic Olomo. Can you believe the stupidity on display here? (For more details on this corrupt Fulton County meeting, read these great articles here and here.) Fulton County simply voted to certify election results without having any of the election results.
This is banana republic stuff.
