As we told you, Dems are staging a sit-in on the floor of the House of Representatives to protest a lack of action on gun control.
Although not all of the 188 House Dems are participating:
House Dem at gun sit-in texts me from the floor that >50 are there. “We just decided there was no other way to get action…can’t filibuster.”

Where are the 130 others we wonder? Anyway, one absent Democrat — Rep. Keith Ellison from Minnesota — was reprimanded by his mother for skipping the photo-op:
So I'm meeting with @keithellison. His scheduler walks in and hands him this note. Meeting ends 🙂 #NoBillNoBreak pic.twitter.com/JwnusZKZuo
