George Santos is sponsoring legislation that would make the AR-15, an instrument of mass murder, the "national gun" of the United States.

First spout: this week I called on elected prosecutors around the country to stand up to the threats & intimidation tactics being used against the Manhattan DA. Critique cases, criticize decisions, litigate in court, but threats against prosecutors don’t belong in a democracy.

Do you include hashtags in your posts?
When you capitalize each word, e.g. #MakeSpoutibleAccessible , #TextToSpeech software users hear all the words read individually. W/out caps they hear a string of gibberish, denying people with impaired vision appropriate access.
