  1. Don't miss PBS news hour for Sunday February 26th. The Howard University swim team won!! Bring swimming back to all historically black colleges! Water safety is so important; this is a wonderful opportunity for these amazing university students to share that message with younger kids!! Go Bisons! Everyone in the pool!! 🌊🐳🐬🌊

  2. And a judge should definitely not be stepping in front of the FDA to claim that he has the scientific expertise necessary to approve medications. So unsafe!

  3. Voters, this is going to be easy. All you have to do is not vote for someone who has multiple indictments and trials in multiple states and jurisdictions. I don't understand why anyone in the GOP would have trouble figuring this out. This is our nation, not a game. 💙🌊💙🌊

  4. If you bothered to listen to the reporters, 30 counts were mentioned. 😎 I feel bad for you, do you not have access to responsible news sources? This story has been widely reported on multiple news platforms for approx 7years. Fear not, the grand jury indictments will be unsealed soon. Maybe you should keep a pencil and some looseleaf paper with you this time? Take notes on the reporting? Please try harder to pay attention, okay? Because it's our nation,, so it matters.🗽

  5. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue. Congress, do your job. Also, repeal PLCAA (2005) to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings.

  6. Also damages our relationships with allies and harms our reputation globally.

  7. Go, chess club!!! Chess is such an awesome skill for kids, because it is a game that requires you to think three moves ahead. A tremendous life skill to acquire BEFORE the craziness of adolescence hits. Thanks, Mr Bishop, your smile could not be broader!

  8. President Biden's first official day in office was January 2021, his inauguration day. The pumpkin headed grifter was absolutely in office during 2020; that's why he was able to make such a complete mess out of our early pandemic response, killing a heartbreaking number of USA residents. 🗽

  10. So important to keep Iranian women and men in the news! United Nations, step up! Global audiences, don't look away. Stay focused on these amazing and courageous young men and women. We see you! 🦋🌎🗽

  11. It is not true that your vote doesn't count unless you live in a swing state. Look at what happened in NYS in 2022 because some people took their eye off the ball. Yes, NYS is reliably a blue 💙 state, but the House seats that were lost in NYS turned out to be the margin in the House majority. Every vote counts. No one stays on the sofa. Let's get this done. 💙🌊💙🌊. Go Kamala go. Go Tim go. 🗽💙🌊⚖️💙🌊🗽

  12. I'm thinking we should honor their memory with comprehensive gun safety legislation. Age limits, training, permits, gun safes, mental health assessment for each purchase, red flags, comprehensive background checks with enough time to fully vet the purchaser not a 15 minute chat, waiting periods, magazine limits.

  13. A president who knows how to pass and sign legislation, lots of it. Getting things done, I am for it! President Biden knows how to do the job. See you at the ballot box. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  14. Go, Todd. Appreciate professional journalism!

  15. No permits, open carry, "gun sanctuary state". Over the objections of Texas law enforcement. What did you expect beyond chaos? Why did Texans re-elect Abbott? Please, please don't make that mistake again. 💙

  16. Please focus on the topic of the thread. The topic is the gun, especially the AR 15, a horribly destructive weapon. No more distractions, we are not falling for it. The problem is the gun. Not the doors, not abortion (for this thread at least). The problem is the gun

  17. This is probably referring to the young girl who was found after six years. Her father had sole custody, but she was living with her mother all those years that she was "missing". I think this person was saying, what if dad and mom had shared custody and had tried harder to avoid ugliness that would prevent their daughter from having relationships with both of her parents. It does seem that there is another part to this story that NBC is not sharing. Why was mom blocked from shared custody? If mom was some kind of risk and she didn't deserve custody, why was her daughter happy to live with her for six years? She was healthy, well cared for, not seeking help. There is something else going on here. Can't tell if this is NBC doing a bad job, or something else about who this dad really was.

  18. So good to see the USA building new relationships with Vietnam. 🗽

  19. Sounds like Texas needs a new governor.

  20. This rulling diminishes our stature globally on human rights. China took pains to comment on our backward slide on human rights with both the lack of gun safety and access to abortion. So now we are less able to advocate for discriminated Muslim groups in China. Thanks, evangelicals.

  21. I think it's possible that the little girl was playing in her own yard after school. Mom was probably making dinner? Those days when kids can play on their own and then return for dinner when the lights come on....nope. That world does not exist. Adult supervision needed at all times.

  22. Please thank them for their service!

  23. The second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation if it cannot protect innocent people. It's time to draft a new amendment to enshrine public safety in the Constitution. Enough. If Serbia and Australia can do it, we can do it.

  24. Comprehensive federal gun safety legislation is overdue. Enough. 🗽

  25. Why don't Florida gun laws include mental health screening for each purchaser, and enough time to fully vet the purchaser? Why is a reporter able to find his mental health information, but the gun vendors never looked for that important information? Repeal PLCAA (2005) to restore liability to gun manufacturers, and their own lawyers will insist on gun safety protocols at point of sale to demonstrate due diligence in court proceedings. Enough.

  26. Absolutely. I have seen some prices come down too. Plus the chicken egg turkey thing is more about bird flu than it ever was about inflation. No one likes to say it, but Reagan had HUGE inflation and high interest rates, but I don't think he ever did anything to help working class people, except cut the budget. We'll be fine. Inflation comes and goes. Stay strong!🗽🌻

  27. Christie wants to be part of making sure that the pumpkin headed grifter does not highjack the nominating process like he did in 2016. The governor of New Hampshire and the former governor of Maryland seem to be on that path too. Chaney, Kinzinger, it's a growing club trying to resuscitate the GOP. I respect the courage. I am a Democrat forever, however I recognize that we need two functioning political parties to govern this massive nation. The insurrectionist need not apply. 🗽 💙🌊💙🌎🗽

  28. Both the Heller opinion and Breun opinion provide for gun regulations. SCOTUS also turned down the challenge to NYS gun regulations rewritten after the Bruen opinion. I am so lucky to live in a state that values strict gun control. Have you even read the SCOTUS opinions? Highest gun death rates: Mississippi, Louisiana, New Mexico, Alabama, Wyoming. Lowest gun death rates:. Massachusetts, Hawaii, new Jersey, new York, Rhode Island. Gun control works. The second amendment has outlived its usefulness to the nation if it cannot protect innocent people. 🗽⚖️

  29. Wow, offensively bad memory you have So the children of Uvalde were not "nice people"? The shoppers at Allen and Buffalo were not nice people? The children of Sandy Hook and Nashville? Please think before you type. Absolutely offensive comment.

  30. Don't worry, he's next. Other news reports indicated that there are plans in place to file the next case naming the pumpkin headed grifter personally. Step by step. The wheels of justice grind slowly but exceedingly sure.

  31. The problem is without mandated gun safes, these guns disappear into criminal hands the next time a house gets robbed when the "collector" goes on vacation. Federal gun safety legislation is overdue.

  32. Passing legislation, strengthening NATO and Pacific alliances, I'm for it. Proof that experience matters. 🗽💙🌊💙🗽

  34. The problem is a mentally ill individual truly in the middle of an episode, by definition they are not going to be thinking clearly enough to let a friend or family member drive them to a clinic. Sometimes there is cooperation, sometimes intense resistance, sometimes paranoia, etc. Why can't some basic overview of mental health issues and challenges be included in the police academy curriculum? Even one week, even 8 hours, of training could help. We cannot continue to pay public servants who don't want to serve the public.

  35. Newt Gingrich did it. The Tea Party did it. Trump did it. Maybe tell the GOP to stop doing this. Vote them out, that could work too. 💙🌊💙🌊

  36. Abbott declared Texas a gun sanctuary state, no permits, open carry, over the objections of Texas law enforcement. What did he think was going to happen? How about charging Abbott with negligence? Vote Abbott out. 💙🌊🗽💙🌊

  37. Really? The laptop?? Gas prices are coming down. I am voting for gun safety, reproductive healthcare, voting access, insurrection accountability. Important life and death issues. I am voting absolutely blue up and down the ballot to increase democratic majorities and fix the mess republicans got us into. 🌊💙🌊🌻

  38.  @democracy189  Absolutely true. It's called the 14th amendment. Get a cup of coffee, sit down and read it thoroughly multiple times to let it sink in. We don't have to live this way. This is not a game, this is our nation, this is our democracy. If we give it away, we won't get it back. 🗽

  40. Another viewer said that people in Texas keep oven mitts with them in the summer to help them grip the steering wheel. So glad I don't live in Texas, especially because of Abbott and other factors. Stay safe everyone.

  41. Their mother and two pilots perished in the crash. Thankfully, these amazing children survived. Resilience, intelligence, breathtaking.

  42. Thank you, reversing the tax cut alone will go a long way towards repairing the debt that the GOP pretends to worry about.

  43. It's also up to the voters. The voters are the ultimate jury, whether or not the multiple trials of the pumpkin headed grifter wrap up on time. Multiple trials, multiple indictments. Any voter who would vote for someone who has such a shadow hanging over him.... wow.... They didn't pay attention even one day in social studies class. Vote carefully. This is our nation, not a bad TV show. 🗽💙🌊💙🌊🗽

  45. Voting for Democrats gets you infrastructure, means that you don't have to pray so hard when you cross that shaky bridge, infrastructure so sweet that republicans who didn't vote for the bill are trying to take credit for it in their home districts. You can save your prayers for other issues like hoping children will not be shot in their schools. Democrats delivered the first gun safety legislation in almost 30 years. Democrats care about children living in poverty, therefore they delivered the child tax credit that almost instantly lifted dramatic numbers out of poverty. Then Republicans let that tax credit expire because they have forgotten how to debate and compromise with colleagues. Democrats will continue to deliver on accountability for Jan 6th, protection for reproductive healthcare, climate change improvements, strengthening NATO and our global reputation, support for union organizing, and much more. Don't forget to vote blue 💙 in the same historic numbers that we demonstrated in 2020. Remember how sweet that was? We danced in the streets and set off firecrackers! We refused to submit to a grifter and a con artist. Vote to send a clear message to Mitch McConnell with 60+ senators. The USA wants lawmakers who write and pass legislation. Democrats get it done.

  46. Regarding the fuel brought by the IDF to the hospital, although it was only a tiny amount for approximately 30 minutes of operation, the hospital said yes, but can you send the fuel to us through the Red Cross. The IDF said no, then took the fuel back. Why doesn't the IDF want to work with the Red Cross?

  47. Typically high turn out favors Democrats. We are more than Republicans, period. We vote in large numbers, we win. Don't give up on a Congress that is finally passing legislation again. Vote 💙🗽

  48. Don't miss PBS news hour for Tuesday August 15th. Excellent coverage regarding Afghanistan; 11 minutes of thorough discussion including a call for a designation of gender apartheid as an international crime against humanity. Don't forget our Afghan allies, women and girls who want to work, to feed their families, and to continue their education. Brave Afghan women continue to protest to this day. Let us support them with our voices. Don't let the world forget them. Also comprehensive coverage of the victory for the climate in Montana. Huzzah! 🦋🗽🦋

  49. Please remember, the only poll that matters is the ballot box. Polls were wrong in 2016, in 2022. Start making your voting plans now. 🗽💙🌊🗽

  50. Love the dynamic of this group discussion. Especially 34:40 through 37:30 "Ah, bless!" Just delightful, most congenial interaction I have seen on a news panel in YEARS! Yes, we can get through this mess. Thank you, broadcast journalism. 💙💜💙
