We can reduce crime without resorting to failed tough-on-crime policies of the past. We've done it in Baltimore

Always a good day when I can bring my mayor to work. Brandon Scott has made Baltimore a safer & better place

Crime is falling in communities across the country because we know what strategies work. It's time for the federal government to stop the fear-mongering and invest in proven solutions. https://www.americanprogress.org/article/delivering-accountability-a-plan-to-stop-crime-in-our-communities/

Masked law enforcement is NOT normal—and we're fighting back with legislation that puts transparency first.

Balko compares secret memo authorizing immigration to enter homes w/o a warrant to “writs of assistance” issued by British crown. "If the Fourth Amendment permits the government to tear down your door with nothing more than an administrative warrant, the Fourth Amendment doesn’t exist."

Explosive WaPo article Since July, DHS has fired shots at 16 people; has hit 10 , including 4 US citizens. 10 victims charged, but 4 cases later dismissed. No agents charged. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

FBI Field leader to NYT: "I remember praying that we didn’t have a terrorist attack, mass shooting or cyberattack slip through the cracks because my agents, who were highly trained to protect against such threats, were assigned to immigration enforcement."

Thank you for decades of leadership on gun violence prevention and for uplifting educator voices and @teachersunify.bsky.social! Proud to work alongside you. Here’s to a safe 2026! ☮️📓📚❤️‍🩹

Rhode Island neverending press conference being preempted by Boston press conference by same suspect for both Brown & MIT professor shooting in Brookline

Col. Darnell Weaver, RI State Police: Criminal investigations are grounded in evidence, not speculation or online commentary. The endless barrage of misinformation, disinformation, rumors, leaks, & clickbait were not helpful in this investigation....

Brown University shooter found dead in Salem, NH. Reports are he used different license plates and other efforts to avoid being tracked. Car linked with MIT professor killing & license plate reader provided lead to storage unit in NH town

Fox News is reporting that the Brown University shooter has died of self-inflicted wounds. However, no official confirmation yet. Other outlets are showing more caution. As we've once again been reminded during this manhunt - getting it right is more important than being first.

Three hoodies for $24? It's great that the Keith Haring Foundation owns his licensing, but just bc you're a nonprofit doesn't mean you have to give it away

Ravens starting to look like the team I thought was going all the way at beginning of season. Defense on 🔥

In response to Brown University shooting Trump says "things can happen" Disgusting. He's directing the DOJ to undo gun regulations, making these tragedies more likely to occur. www.americanprogress.org/article/trum...

Brown students are being advised to continue sheltering in place. I still remember the unsettling feeling of being on lockdown as a grad student after the Boston Marathon bombing & shooting. Streets were deserted, uncertainty weighed on ppl

I’ve been reporting on the gun industry + lobby for a decade. Whatever we learn abt what happened at Brown, this will be the ultimate truth: The only people who benefit from the status quo on guns in America are the people who make money from guns in America. Everyone else is an acceptable casualty.

My heart goes out to the Brown University community who are sheltering in place, incl. my dear friend Mia Tretta, who balances being a Brown student & gun violence prevention advocate after being shot at her CA high school at age 15

Tomorrow is the 13th anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. My heart aches for the Brown University community.

🚨New podcast alert🚨 Talking data & police reform with Ganesha Martin, Bureau Chief for Constitutional Policing at the Minneapolis Police Department. It's a good one! Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7IFF... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e... Amazon: music.amazon.com/podcasts/cad...

reminder on #smallbusinesssaturday that all this stuff is on sale and benefits some great orgs 🫡

Another frustrating Ravens loss - they are rarely fun to watch this year n Won't let it ruin a successful day. I really nailed the turkey & gravy, plus my mezcal lambrusco cocktail didn't suck - good dessert drink.

I joined @pressley.house.gov to honor families and survivors of homicide victims. For every life lost, there are ten more carrying the trauma. Gun violence is a public‑health crisis—and we must do more to support healing, justice, and survivors.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation seems to be throwing some shade at ICE.

Really horrible case. In no just society should this be anything but murder. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Having grown up in So Cal, I knew Prop 50 would be a blowout when even my center-right childhood friends said they voted for it. Sunset clause was frequently cited as securing their reluctant support.

How upset is Newsom right now that his victory speech follows a banger of a speech by Mamdani? Newsom's strength has been taking the fight to Trump and he directly addressed the President, but Mamdani really brought it & benefit of a huge crowd

I have actually not seen Mamdani give a formal speech and what I’ll say is that unlike so many of his peers he is not trying to mimic anyone in his delivery. He is simply being himself and it is very effective.

Honored to have contributed to the JAMA Summit Report with leading experts like Dr. Sakran. Excited to celebrate it's release with my 40 co-authors tonight

Imagine getting an alert on your phone that says "RUN HIDE FIGHT." That just happened at UVA following reports of someone armed with a gun at Shannon Library. www.cavalierdaily.com/article/2025...

"My service is not your cosplay." Gun companies are using taxpayer-funded military contracts to sell military-style assault weapons to civilians—and veterans are not here for it. See more ads just like these: https://smokinggun.org/report/turning-our-streets-into-war-zones/

Today the Supreme Court released the orders list from its long conference. After granting Wolford, a challenge to Hawai'i's opt-in public carry law, the Court denied many Second Amendment cases today including several challenges to the felon possession ban. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

still in disbelief that professionalized national news outlet(s) ran stories about this in the “safety” frame at all.

National Guard troops won't make cities safer in the long-run. Local cities & counties must be in control, with support from federal law enforcement such as providing crime gun intelligence

"someone with a vaguely libertarian bent who despised both major parties and politicians generally (including Trump) but who didn’t engage with politics beyond that. He preferred edgy humor, video games and the message board 4chan, all of which he became increasingly steeped in..."

Takeaways from Dallas ICE shooting press conference: FBI investigating as targeted violence. Rounds found near suspected shooter, who died from self-inflicted gunshot wounds, have messages that appear "anti-ICE in nature." No law enforcement were injured.

The 24yo used an AR-style rifle with a suppressor to kill 3 cops, wound 2 more, & kill his ex's dog. These weapons of war make all of us less safe - including law enforcement, domestic violence & stalking survivors, & beloved pets.

MAHA commission report by RFK Jr. & Trump admin fails to mention any plans to address the leading cause of death in American children and adolescents: gun violence. Article by my CAP colleague @jillrose.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/what...

Check out this exciting & ambitious effort by my colleague @thmoore.bsky.social to help fix our political system

Report of shots fired at UMass Boston has prompted a large police response and evacuation of the area. One student who evacuated responds with anger that these threats of gun violence at schools should not be ignored and action is needed!

I just saw the video of Charlie Kirk being shot—shared by Rep. MTG. It left me sick. Horrified. We should never normalize turning violence and trauma into content. That is not leadership, it’s exploitation.

Despite earlier reports, suspect in fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk is not in custody. Hoping local, state, & federal law enforcement arrest & prosecute the shooter ASAP. Keeping the 2 Evergreen High School students & their families in my thoughts. Suspect, a fellow student, is also hospitalized

Let me say the same thing today, in the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, as I said when Brian Thompson was assassinated, when the CDC campus was shot & a police officer lost his life, and when school shootings happen: *Violence is never the answer.* Our rhetoric & actions need to make that clear. 💔

Another school. Another shooting. Another community shattered. The Second Amendment has been twisted into a license for chaos, and we are living in the hell it created.… At least 3 injured after shooting at a Denver-area high school, officials say | CNN

Political violence has no place in our democracy. Gun violence is a plague on our country that destroys lives and damages communities - on the left & right, in red & blue states, in cities & rural areas. We must act.

New video clearly shows Uvalde police & leaders lied about a teacher propping open a door. Amy Franco is owed an apology by so many. Many school security vendors got rich off this lie. We need full transparency & independent investigation into Uvalde. kimatv.com/news/nation-...

Also in @thetrace.org article about the calculated campaign to demonize the trans community: "trans people are more than four times more likely than their cis peers to be the victims of violent crimes." Guns are used in 70% of the killings of transgender & gender nonconforming people in the US

For far too long, our lawmakers have let innocent children die because they care more about getting a check from the gun lobby. Our young people say no more. Organize or join a walkout near you tomorrow by texting WALKOUT to 644-33.
