This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for many things, including the Community Food Bank of Southern Arizona.
Earlier this week, I stopped by to meet with staff preparing meals for families in our community. Their work is making Southern Arizona a better place for all ♥️

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.
32 miles has nothing on us!

Gun violence affects people everywhere.
I was glad to join @iowademocrats.bsky.social and Chair Rita Hart to honor her nephew Tucker and work to build a safer world for all of us.

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.

Last stop for today: Alexandria, VA!
I’m proud to have met so many people — from grandmas who have long been demanding better from our elected leaders, to little ones who dream of going to school without the fear of gun violence. Abigail & Senator Hashmi will fight for every Virginian in Richmond.

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.

Joining @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on the campaign today reminded me why we fight these battles. She's dedicated her entire career to service and is the exact leader New Jersey families need in Trenton to fight crime and expand gun safety laws.

Today I met with Colorado lawmakers, community violence intervention advocates, and the recipients of the @giffords.org 2025 Lifesaving Service Award: Life-Line Colorado.
Community violence intervention saves lives, and we need more leaders like the ones I met today.

Today, I’m thinking of Christina-Taylor Green on her 24th birthday.
She should be celebrating with her friends and family, but her life was stolen from her in January 2011 when she was shot while waiting to meet me.

This morning in Charlotte, @captmarkkelly.bsky.social and I were proud to celebrate Labor Day with the Mecklenburg County Democrats. Working people and unions built this country. I’ll always be proud to stand with workers and the unions who lift us all up.
Happy Labor Day, everyone!

My heart breaks for the families of Harper Moyski and Fletcher Merkel.
These beautiful children had their whole lives in front of them, but now will forever be ten and eight years old.

What a crowd in Laguna Hills, California last night!
@daveminca.bsky.social and I heard directly from Californians on the change they want to see in Orange County. We can’t let extreme Republicans in Congress choose special interests over the commonsense laws we need to stop gun crime & save lives.

My friend @mcbride.house.gov is a true fighter for the people.
She’s standing strong against Trump’s dangerous agenda and working hard to protect Delawareans from senseless gun violence. Sarah’s constituents are lucky to have her in their corner.

Six years ago today, 23 people were killed & 22 others were injured in a targeted attack against the Latino community in El Paso, Texas.
Racist hate & easy access to guns is a deadly combination devastating our country and tearing apart our families. We must build the safer future El Paso deserved.

Too many in Congress hide from their constituents. Mark and I are here in Michigan’s 10th district for a town hall to hear directly from Americans about what’s important to them.
The Michiganders we met today are demanding real change, and we’re right there with them. #MI10

My heart still aches for the 12 people killed and the 70 others injured in the Aurora movie theater massacre 13 years ago today.
This tragedy was preventable. We owe it to the victims, survivors, and their loved ones to build a future where a night at the movies is always safe.
