The urgency could not be clearer: pass an assault weapons ban and every common-sense gun reform now.

I am outraged by this morning’s horrific attack and murder of children attending Mass at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Kids are barely back in the classroom, and already they are being traumatized, injured, and killed by weapons of war.

The gerrymandered maps that just passed out of the Texas House are terrifying.

California must respond. We’re ready to fight fire with fire, but in a way that stays true to our values: openly, transparently, and with voters in charge.

How many more must die before we ban these weapons of war? Thoughts and prayers are not enough—Congress must act.

Another community shattered. Another officer killed. Another AR-15 in the hands of someone who should never have had one. In Midtown Manhattan, four lives—including NYPD Officer Didarul Islam—were stolen in minutes.

Tesla has no permit to operate a commercial robotaxi service, and launching one anyway is not just illegal—it’s dangerous. This isn’t innovation, it’s lawlessness disguised as tech.

Elon Musk is daring the state to stop him—and if California regulators don’t act, they’re handing him the keys to ignore every safety rule we have.

These closures are the direct result of federal funding cuts and the backwards, dangerous policies of this administration.

While sadly not surprising, it’s a frightening sign of where our nation’s public health is headed, and it’s hitting us right here at home.

The closure of five Planned Parenthood health centers across Northern California, including one in South San Francisco, will directly harm and endanger women, stripping them of access to critical, life-saving care.

This billboard sends the right message.

Thank you, @sfpublichealth.bsky.social

This isn’t about making communities safer—it’s about staging a Hollywood-style photo op.

If Pam Bondi and Donald Trump were serious about public safety, they’d be investing in prevention, enforcement, and community programs—not chasing headlines with absurd stunts on Alcatraz.

Pam Bondi flying to San Francisco to pitch reopening Alcatraz is nothing more than political theater.

Only this administration would look at one of America’s most iconic national parks and think, ‘Let’s turn it back into a prison.’

I'm deeply grateful to my colleagues in the State Legislature for their support, and to the Governor for signing this important piece of legislation into law.

While current law already prevents either party from canceling insurance for their spouse or children, AB 1297 goes further and blocks either party from letting a policy lapse due to missed payments or failure to renew.

Nobody should be at risk of losing essential insurance coverage during a divorce. When a divorce petition is filed, Automatic Temporary Restraining Orders go into effect for both parties.

I don’t think we can trust that the man who tried to dismantle health and safety efforts across the entire country with DOGE has any real concern for the safety of San Francisco residents and pedestrians when it comes to his untested robotaxis.

These public servants were doing their jobs, bravely responding to a fire, only to be ambushed by someone who shouldn’t have had access to a weapon—in a state with some of the most dangerous gun laws in the country.

This is horrifying. Two firefighters were killed and another wounded by a gunman who intentionally started a wildfire.

Moms Demand Action @momsdemand.bsky.social · Jun 30

A man started a wildfire in a rugged mountain area in Idaho, then opened fire on first responders, killing two firefighters and wounding another. The man then shot and killed himself.

We don’t have to live or die like this. Text READY to 644-33 if you’re ready to do something about it.

Man started Idaho blaze and then fatally shot 2 firefighters in ambush, officials say

Today, I was proud to vote for a responsible and forward-looking state budget that protects critical services, invests in housing, health care, and education, and upholds our values in the face of economic uncertainty.

Political violence has no place in a free society. We cannot accept a future where public servants are hunted for doing their jobs.

Earlier this week, I was honored to welcome members of the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association to the State Capitol.

It was a pleasure to meet with them, hear their concerns, and discuss how I can continue to be a voice for our diverse communities in the Assembly.
