My favorite day of the year ♥️🚴🌵
After I got shot, I never could have imagined getting back on my bike and racing through my beautiful hometown. El Tour de Tucson will always hold a special place in my heart.

We need champions in Congress who will fight for the American people and take meaningful action to save lives. These candidates have the strength and clarity to do that and will help us build a safer future for all.
I’m proud to support them in their critical elections.

We’re proud to support this strong slate of gun safety candidates running to flip key battleground House districts next fall.
Each of these leaders has what it takes to win and help secure a gun safety majority that will put public safety ahead of politics.

The President called him a traitor and demanded he be executed. It is dangerous and wrong. Americans need to stand up and say so.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

This Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honor the lives stolen from us in violent acts of hate and bigotry.
At least 27 trans people were killed this year according to @transequality.bsky.social, and many of them died by gun violence. America’s gun violence epidemic is fueling this crisis.

Three years ago today, a night of dancing turned tragic when a gunman opened fire at Club Q in a targeted attack against the LGBTQ+ community.
Five beautiful lives were stolen, more than 20 were injured, and an entire community was forever changed.

Today marks three years since five people were killed and 25 others were injured in a hate-fueled attack against the LGBTQ+ community at Club Q in Colorado.

It was an honor to speak at last night’s @iowademocrats.bsky.social’s Liberty & Justice celebration.
We’re at a crossroads. America needs all of us to speak out. It’s all at stake: safer communities, the health care families depend on, and our democracy. Iowa is energized and ready to get to work.

My friend @pelosi.house.gov has served our country with grit, courage, and integrity.
She stood with me after I was shot and she stood up for our country when the stakes were highest. Her leadership has been unmatched, and America is stronger because of her.

What a huge victory for public safety in Virginia 👏👏👏
Congratulations to every gun safety champion who held and flipped important seats to regain this gun safety majority. Now it’s time to get to work and pass the laws we know save lives and fight crime.

Red flag laws save lives. We’re glad to see this ballot measure pass tonight, two years after a shooter killed 18 people & injured 13 others in Lewiston.
Now, Mainers will have another tool to keep their loved ones who are a danger to themselves or others from accessing a gun in a time of crisis.

Congrats Governor-elect @abigailspanberger.com on your decisive win! Virginians made it clear that they are sick & tired of gun safety bills being blocked by Governor Youngkin. They demanded change at the ballot box, & now will finally have a governor who puts public safety ahead of partisanship.

Seven years later and my heart continues to ache for the 11 people killed and 6 others injured at Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life Synagogue. They were shot as they prayed for no other reason than because they were Jewish.
May their memories forever be a blessing.

Today, I joined Gov. Tim Walz and hundreds of Minnesotans in Waconia for a town hall on preventing gun violence. After the shootings this summer, the governor and state legislative leaders proposed important reform to save lives. We must pass that package, now.

Today, I’m thinking of Lewiston, Maine, where two years ago, a night of bowling, corn hole, and catching up with neighbors turned deadly because a dangerous person had a gun. Eighteen people were killed, 13 others were wounded, and an entire community was irrevocably changed.
