Rep. Jason Crow is urging Congress to act on gun measures that he argues would make communities safer in the wake of a deadly mass shooting Monday in his home state that left 10 people dead.
"There are common sense laws and legislation that we can pass that will help make our communities safer. We just have to get them done. It's that simple," the Colorado Democrat told CNN's John Berman on "New Day." Ten people, including a police officer, were killed after a gunman opened fire in a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. The latest attack -- one of at least six mass shootings so far this year -- has shaken a community and stoked calls for action from Congress.
Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
