In the military, you train to handle and store firearms. You must re-qualify every year to prove competency. We aren’t safer or freer as a society when there’s easy access to guns, especially for people with little training. We must put an end to mass shootings, not enable them.

Our hearts break with the AAPI community and Monterey Park community.
It's unimaginable to be faced with such tragedy on a day of celebration, even more so given the violence targeting the AAPI community in recent years.
We must end this cycle of hate & senseless gun violence. twitter.com/CNN/status/161

1/ Democrats or Republicans? Which political party is better for the country? Here are some facts to help you decide:
1. Since 1948, ten of the eleven recessions have occurred under Republican Presidents - about one recession every six years.

ICYMI, the Court ruled today that Republicans attempted to to impeach Krasner for offenses which are not impeachable because they challenged his discretionary authority, and purported to regulate his actions as an attorney (which is solely the state supreme court's turf).

They voted against infrastructure, gay marriage, baby formula, affordable insulin, protecting the planet & providing healthcare for our vets.
And now they’ve voted against sick leave for rail workers.
Don’t let Republicans tell you they’re “for the people.”
Because they are not.

Oil prices have suddenly fallen $10 a barrel since the election.
My goodness. What a coincidence!
I’m sure no foreign actors were manipulating oil to drive up gas prices and impact our election.

Today on Veterans Day, we thank our veterans for their service to a grateful nation and commitment to protecting democracy at home and abroad. I encourage you to thank a veteran today and ask what branch they served in and listen to their stories of service.

Crime is almost *categorically* higher in red states. The redder a state is, the more dangerous it is.
So of course Americans worried about crime are going to vote... Republican?
What? Is there something out there keeping “crime voters” from knowing *anything* about crime data?

Lee + Dennis Horton were sentenced to life in prison for a crime they didn't commit. I fought for their release, and it might cost me some votes. But it was the right thing to do.
I can’t imagine Dr. Oz ever making that same decision.

You're voting for the kids. So they can sleep without nightmares of getting shot at school, vote safely without armed opposition watching, choose reproductive paths without a politician's input, have SS to pay for medicine food & shelter.

Corporate greed is Shell making a record $21 billion in profits over the last 2 quarters and spending $26 billion on stock buybacks and dividends this year to enrich its wealthy stockholders while working class Americans struggle to pay $4, $5, $6 for a gallon of gas.

Point: quality of life, education, equity, health and public safety issues… All are as important or even more important than just cutting taxes and services.

Police say the St. Louis school gunman - a 20-year-old wearing black and carrying a long gun - died after exchanging gunfire with police.
When you vote Nov 8, remember that Republican lawmakers are trying to LOWER the age to carry a gun from 21 to 18.

Over the weekend, my opponent ran a rather tortured hit piece on me. I’m wearing a New York hat in the pic they used. Here’s the thing about that hat: After 9/11, I traded my Air Force flight cap from the Pentagon that day with a New York City firefighter…
