The shootings in Minnesota of two state lawmakers and their spouses are heartbreaking and horrifying — Political violence is unacceptable. Full stop.

I share my deepest condolences with the Hortman family and wish Senator and Mrs. Hoffman full recoveries.

Today is Clean the Bay Day! We volunteered at Virginia’s Mason Neck State Park to help pick up trash — We were lucky to see some pretty cool wildlife, reminding us of the many reasons why it’s important to preserve the Chesapeake Bay! @chesapeakebayfdn.bsky.social

I am wearing orange today to express my strong commitment to ending the gun violence public health crisis.

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for our kids and teens. This is NOT acceptable. We can and must do better to make sure our kids and communities are safe. #wearorange
