As his family gathers for his funeral today, my thoughts are with his loved ones. No parent should have to bury a child due to gun violence. Accountability and real steps must happen to combat gun violence and protect our communities.01 May 2026 20:35 +0000at://did:plc:2egngd24u4sml2ejykjyst5s/app.bsky.feed.post/3mksy5nomgk2ghttps://bsky.app/profile/meeks.house.gov/post/3mksreqzxq22rHouse Republicans finally passed the bipartisan Senate bill they’d been sitting on for over a month to end their 76-day DHS shutdown.
