Even though Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin was heavily criticized for his travel expenses, he has continued in his ways. Between the spring and fall of 2017, Mnuchin took eight separate trips on military aircraft for a total of $1 million. There was no reason for the use of these aircraft. He needs to be forced to repay all of these funds.

The NRA does not get the final say on gun rights. We live in a world that includes all Americans and will be governed by laws that are acceptable to all affected.

You have to question the mentality of these so-called adults who keep questioning the rights of these teenagers. These same adults keep questioning the rights of women. These adults are pushing themselves into a rather small corner that they won’t be able to get out of.

How can you say that gun control won’t work — when we have never tried it? It can work, and it will work.

According to Tucker Carlson and many on the far right, teenagers are too young and naive to have an opinion on gun laws or any decisions about whether or not they want to be shot in their classrooms.
