The United States is tackling the challenges of the pandemic with substantial resources: emergency authorization of vaccines, collection and access to high-quality data, and lead agencies that monitor untoward effects of new vaccines with the power to pause . But there is another epidemic plaguing the U.S. that deserves the same steely resolve: gun violence. In the U.S., 300 people are shot and more than 100 people die each day , and yet we have not allocated sufficient resources to stop it. While we applaud President Biden Joe Biden Obama, Clinton reflect on Mondale's legacy Biden, Harris commend Mondale in paving the way for female VP Mondale in last message to staff: 'Joe in the White House certainly helps' MORE for his will and courage to act to reduce the toll of gun violence, the evidence-based policy changes he proposes do not go far enough.

They address policy holes, authorize the first study on gun trafficking in 20 years, provide resources through the Department of Justice to address gun violence at the community level, and more. Additionally, Attorney General Merrick Garland Merrick Garland Garland warns domestic terrorism 'still with us' on anniversary of Oklahoma City bombing Mazie Hirono: Asian American, Pacific Islander community 'feels under siege' amid rise in hate crimes ABC lands first one-on-one TV interview with Garland since confirmation MORE outlined a commitment for how he would enact these steps with specific strategies and timelines.

Senate confirms Biden’s nominee for No. 2 official at DOJ
The Senate on Tuesday voted overwhelmingly to confirm Lisa Monaco, a veteran national security official and federal prosecutor, for the No. 2 position at the Department of Justice (DOJ). Monaco received overwhelming support from both parties in the 98-2 vote approving her to serve as the deputy attorney general. Her confirmation came more than two months after that of Attorney General Merrick Garland Merrick Garland Garland warns domestic terrorism 'still with us' on anniversary of Oklahoma City bombing Mazie Hirono: Asian American, Pacific Islander community 'feels under siege' amid rise in hate crimes ABC lands first one-on-one TV interview with Garland since confirmation MORE . During former President Obama's second term, Monaco served as his homeland security and counterterrorism adviser after nearly 15 years at the Justice Department.
