Look, I am all in for maximizing government efficiency. I even passed a law that got way more transparency into how we’re spending. But taking a hatchet to all federal funding, to agencies that save Americans money, to critical medical grants… that just creates chaos & disorder.

I shared part of my survivor story at the House Public Safety-Firearms subcommittee as a rep of @giffords.org #GunOwnersForSafety supporting Del Mike Feggans' secure storage bill HB1597. I've added my public comments here.

Responsible gun owners believe in education & storage. Everyone should.

I want to complain about this, so I’m ready to tell y’all that someone hit me with their car last week just before Thanksgiving, like hit my fucking BODY with their 3 ton death machine, and then got out of the car and threatened me with a gun for “hitting their car”

Ghost gun kits have long functioned as “lethal Lego sets.”

These dangerous weapons are beloved by criminals for the same reason they’re bad for public safety: There are very few restrictions on who can access them.

RFK Jr will do to the U.S. what he did to Samoa - all to make a buck. Please watch this if you haven’t.

Remember this during the holiday season.

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

President Biden promised to take action on gun violence — and he did.

Our Executive Director Emma Brown spoke to @thetrace.org about why he was the strongest gun safety president in American history. Now, it’s up to all of us to protect our progress.

This week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court blocked Philadelphia from making its own gun safety laws.

This is a devastating blow to public safety. Local governments should have the freedom to protect their communities from gun violence.

@chemykatie.bsky.social and I were honored to speak to a packed house at today's "Worth Fighting For" rally to action in #Charlottesville, organized by @indivisibleguide.bsky.social, for volunteers and orgs to brainstorm next steps and how to help. We're all putting the unity in community 💪

Hawaiʻi has one of the lowest gun death rates in the nation—and some of the strongest gun laws.

That’s not a coincidence, but extremists are hellbent on overturning commonsense laws that keep our communities safe.

If you're a Veteran and you get your healthcare from the VA, please make appointments with your PCP and specialists before January 20th, and make sure to update all your vaccines and order your meds.

It’s great to see 2023 Emerge Virginia alumnae @kimadamsforva.bsky.social and Lily Franklin both launching their 2025 Virginia House of Delegates campaigns after falling less than a point shy of winning last year.
Both of them are outstanding, hardworking candidates on the Red-to-Blue frontlines.

I'm excited to see Lily Franklin running for the House of Delegates again in Hokies Country! She narrowly fell short last time, but with a people-driven campaign focused on small-town, rural communities and values, we can help send her to Richmond 💪

Given the stakes involved, I thought I would write about what's coming for all of us in Elon Musk's "two years of pain" that he insists we all have to go through- and how it's likely to change American healthcare permanently for the worse.
