In that time, too little has been done to make our schools safer. That’s why our grieving nation is again searching for a solution. If […]
Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has filed legislation to allow stricter prison terms for dealers of fentanyl, a substance he calls a “weapon of mass destruction.” Cotton introduced the legislation Thursday along with Senate colleagues who include Sen.
