We can't allow ourselves to become numb to mass shootings. What happened today in Minneapolis is heartbreaking, and Michelle and I are praying for the parents who have lost a child or will be sitting at their hospital bedside after yet another act of unspeakable, unnecessary violence.

Less than five years after urging rioters to "kill" police at the Capitol, a former Jan. 6, defendant Jared Wise, is now working as a senior adviser for the Department of Justice, which has been dramatically remade under the second Trump administration.
Here’s the footage of him from that day.

California’s farmworkers are the backbone of our economy.
They work through grueling conditions – rain and shine, heat and cold, even a pandemic – to feed the nation.
Targeting these workers is just wrong. And meant to stoke fear, not improve public safety.
