Russia-linked Twitter accounts exploited the shooting on the platform. And at a vigil following the shooting, students chanted "No More Guns!" [HuffPost] [Tweet | Share on Facebook] SENATE VOTES DOWN SEVERAL BILLS TO HELP DREAMERS Following Trump's threats of a veto. [HuffPost] 'DONALD TRUMP, A PLAYBOY MODEL, AND A SYSTEM FOR CONCEALING INFIDELITY' In Ronan Farrow's latest, he examines how the president hid an affair with a former Playmate of the Year, Karen McDougal. [The New Yorker] FOX NEWS HOST SHEPARD SMITH MAKES EMOTIONAL PLEA "Forget your political arguments, why can’t we come together as a society and say, 'We’re going to study this; we’re going to research this; we’re going to put our best and brightest together.
