    Remembering my Grandpops today: General J. Lawton Collins — Lightning Joe. He commanded the Army’s VII Corps and led the #DDay invasion at Utah Beach 80 years ago today. (Please indulge me in a personal 🧵.)

    The leading cause of death among children is guns. For over 60 years, it was car accidents. As of 2020, it's guns. Again: The leading cause of death among children is guns.
    In 2020, Guns Became the Leading Cause of Death for US Kids

    The Capitol building is under lockdown, evacuations underway, guns drawn in the House chamber. Sen. Ted Cruz just sent a fundraising email/text. “I’m leading the fight to reject electors from key states...” it reads, in part.

    Wow - Pope Francis calls for civil union laws for same-sex couples. "Homosexuals have a right to be a part of the family. They’re children of God and have a right to a family," Francis in a doc that premiered today in Italy.

    Twitter, meet Charlie. Born March 25, named for his Opa & his great-grandfather. @EliStokols & I still can’t believe he’s ours. I’ll be on maternity leave for a few months — a generous policy at @politico that all working moms should have access to. See you on the other side.

    In 1994, my family celebrated the 50th anniversary of #DDay. This is a picture of my mom, sisters and me, standing at the same desk where Grandpops accepted the German surrender at the Chateau de Servigny. So deeply honored to be his great-granddaughter. -30-

    Scoop - Tim Walz is considering a Senate run & has not ruled it out, according to a person close to the governor. Sen. Tina Smith announced that she's retiring. Deep bench of other MN Dems who could take a look at this race.
