For at least two students at Brown University, this was not their first mass shooting. One of them, Mia Trea, was just 15 when she was shot in the abdomen by a student who opened fire on his Santa Clarita High School.

She posted on X last night that this is not how she imagined life when she was a little girl, that she misses that carefree child she once was. Mia joins me now.Uh, thank you for be ...

Today happens to mark the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy, which stole the lives of 20 first grade children.But 13 years later, the same question remains with us. Will Congress ever act beyond the politics and go and actually find a bipartisan solution. If this ...
