Misinformation is worse than no informationβ€”and without science, it prevails.

Grateful for this review of my book.

Four years ago today, an employee at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority property opened fire with three pistols and high capacity magazines in San Jose, California. He shot and killed nine of his coworkers.

Christopher was a smart, funny, and fiercely competitive young man, who is among countless young people whose lives have been cut short by our nation’s preventable gun violence crisis.

β€œThe only thing that’s important to me now is the work that we do to stop gun violence,” said Rich.

Moments that Survive: Richard For us, life has completely changed. They say you get over it but I can’t. I don’t want to. For me, getting over it would betray Chris.

Today marks 11 years since the horrific Isla Vista killings. Take a moment to honor Christopher, Rich, and all whose children have been stolen by gun violence by sharing his #MomentsThatSurvive story.

CA @momsdemand.bsky.social is honored to support @robbonta.bsky.social, @giffords.org, & our CVI Partners to speak out about the devastating impact of the abrupt termination of $811 million in federal grants for effective, evidence-based crime reduction programs.

Today, we joined @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov, CA lawmakers and advocates to urge the Trump administration to restore the funding they cut to local community violence intervention groups.

These cuts are a betrayal of bipartisan investment in our communities and will cost people their lives.

As a California @momsdemand.bsky.social
Volunteer, I know record-low CA homicide rates isn’t accidental – they're thx to effective programs like #CalVIP. As Trump cuts β‰ˆ$1B in public safety grants, CA must protect this success. CalVIP funding ensures these life-saving programs continue. #ProtectCVI

Today in committee, an opponent of AB 1127, a bill that will ban DIY machine guns, stated that they would challenge this legislation in courtβ€”and win.

So let me be clear: We love our children more than you love your guns. Mark my words, we will winβ€”we have no other option.

It’s been three years since a Glock switch was used in a horrific act of mass gun violence in downtown Sacramento, California, which left six people dead and 12 others wounded.

Now, our volunteers are asking state lawmakers to hold Glock accountable and ban these deadly devices, once and for all.

Cory Booker has been holding the Senate floor for *15 hours* to call out Trump’s harm to Americans.

More of this energy from every Democrat please.

THE FILIBOOKER: Cory Booker has been holding the Senate floor and speaking for more than 14 hours to protest the "grave and urgent" threat posed by the Trump administration. He's showing no signs of stopping.
