Today marks six years since George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis. George was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend. His life mattered and he should still be here.

Four years ago today, 19 fourth-graders and two teachers went to school and never came home. I’ll never forget the heartbreak of that day, and how Texans turned their pain into action. Their courage inspires me in this fight each and every day.

I am proud to endorse this slate of state leaders. Each of these candidates are deeply committed to addressing public safety and refuse to ignore the gun violence epidemic impacting Texas communities. With them in Austin, Texans will see real change.

Today, a horrifying shooting took place at San Diego’s largest mosque, which should be a safe haven for the city’s Muslim community.

There are moments that put everything in perspective. Watching @captmarkkelly.bsky.social launch his final mission with NASA—15 years ago today—was one of them. I was just a few months into my recovery, but seeing the Space Shuttle Endeavour take off made me feel like anything was possible.

Four years ago, a racist attack on a Buffalo community killed ten people, shot three more, and changed countless lives forever. Today, my heart is with the families of the victims, and with those who were injured.

Right now, too many lawmakers in Washington refuse to take action on America’s gun violence crisis. I’m proud to endorse these leaders who are stepping up to take back a gun safety majority in the U.S. House and fight for the change we all deserve. With them in office, progress is possible.

Each of these fearless advocates are committed to pushing back against powerful gun lobby interests while building a safer future for the next generation. I’m proud to endorse them all in their campaigns.

I’m horrified to learn of the shooting at tonight’s White House Correspondence Dinner, and grateful that all attendees are safe. Violence is never the answer and is far too present in our country.

Earlier this week, eight children were killed in Speaker Johnson’s hometown in a horrific act of gun violence. We reached out to him asking if we could discuss bipartisan action to protect women and kids across the country from domestic violence. He declined.

Governor JB Pritzker and @cmitchellforlg.bsky.social have demonstrated a firm commitment to public safety and fighting gun crime in Illinois. I look forward to continuing to work with them and I’m proud to endorse them in this critical election.

27 years ago today, 12 students and one teacher went to school and never came home. They were shot and killed at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado. 21 others were injured.

My heart is breaking for Shreveport, Louisiana. Eight young lives stolen in a devastating act of domestic gun violence. All of us should be outraged that we live in a country that routinely subjects our kids to such unimaginable violence.

One year ago today, two people were killed and six others were injured in a shooting at Florida State University. More than 20 FSU students had already survived the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School seven years before.

Nearly two decades later and my heart still aches for Virginia Tech. 19 years ago today, 32 beautiful lives were stolen in a senseless mass shooting on campus. Since then, dozens of families have never been the same. I’ll always work to build the safer future their loved ones deserve.

I was thrilled to see my friend Governor @abigailspanberger.com yesterday in Richmond and congratulate her on getting key gun safety laws across the finish line.

I’m proud to endorse @julianastratton.bsky.social for US Senate! From the state house to statewide office, Lt. Gov. Stratton has proven she will never back down from a fight. I know that she will continue to hold the line against the gun lobby’s dangerous agenda and stand up for Illinois families.

So proud of @captmarkkelly.bsky.social for being named to TIME 100 Most Influential People of 2026. This year, Mark has defended Americans’ rights, stood up to bullies, and continued fighting to make our country a better place. I can’t think of anyone more deserving.❤️

I’ve worked hand-in-hand with each of these indispensable leaders, and know that they will continue to prioritize public safety and fight America’s gun violence crisis. We must reelect them in November.

Today, I’m remembering the six innocent lives stolen three years ago in the shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, TN. Tennessee leaders owe it to every student and staff member to put public safety first and address this crisis. I’ll always fight to make sure they do.

Keeping Americans safe from shootings takes federal laws that are designed to protect people and save lives, not enrich the gun industry. I was grateful to connect yesterday with two public safety champions, Senators @wyden.senate.gov and @lujan.senate.gov, who continue to lead on these issues.

It was great to meet with @senangusking.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov yesterday to talk about what it takes to keep our communities safe.

Five years ago today, ten people went to the grocery store and never came home. A gunman opened fire at King Soopers in Boulder, Colorado—a grocery store not too different from the one I was shot in front of. No community should ever know this pain.

Grateful to @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and @gabbygiffords.bsky.social for joining me in Derry for a Veterans Town Hall. And thank you to the New Hampshire veterans who shared their stories.

Rich’s determination, even after he was told he may never walk or talk again, is inspiring. I’m rooting for you, Rich. Aphasia sucks, but we got this 💪

“All the Empty Rooms” illuminated the spaces our kids should still be filling with laughter and life. Watching this film moved me deeply.

Five years ago today, the Asian American community was rocked by this horrific, racist attack. Eight people were killed—six of whom were Asian women—and one other person was injured.

Six years ago today, Louisville police murdered Breonna Taylor while serving a no-knock warrant based on false information. They shot her six times while she slept in her home. Breonna was only 26. She was an EMT, an aspiring nurse, and beloved by all who knew her.

In Governor @maura-healey.bsky.social, Massachusetts voters will always have a champion in office who puts their safety first. I’m proud to endorse her for reelection, and I'm excited to work with her as she continues to back survivors, stand up to the gun lobby, and build a safer future for all.

Today, my dear friend Gabe Zimmerman should be celebrating his 46th birthday, but was shot and killed at our Congress on Your Corner event on January 8th, 2011.

I spent time today in Michigan’s Macomb County with Christina Hines. Christina knows we need background checks, safe storage laws, and real investment in community violence intervention to prevent violence before it happens. As a mom, she’s doing this work for her kids — and for all of ours.

Six years ago today, Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed by racist vigilantes. He was jogging near his neighborhood when he was attacked. Ahmaud should still be alive. We owe it to him to keep pushing for real justice and real change.
