Why my daughter’s shooting wasn’t an ACCIDENT
Think back to when you first heard the word, accident, being used. If you said childhood, you would be correct. Now think of why the word accident was being used. If you said, because you made a mistake, again you would be right.

I don’t know who’s in charge of the music at the @LasVegasNFR this year but 6 days in and it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Steph Pizzoferrato @Steph_Pizzo]

This is what #GUNviolence steals from families. My twins should be graduating together.

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

I invite you to honor my mother, #CorettaScottKing, with me.

Without her, there would be no federal holiday commemorating my father’s birthday.

And @TheKingCenter, which she founded less than three months after Daddy was assassinated, would not exist.

I’m grateful for her commitment to freedom, true peace, justice, and Kingian nonviolence.

I’m inspired by her love for humanity, her faith in God, and her consistency to purpose.

Salute, Mama.

This is one of those situations when you lost but still won. I’m grateful for last night. No regrets to get in ring one last time.

I almost died in June. Had 8 blood transfusions. Lost half my blood and 25lbs in hospital and had to fight to get healthy to fight so I won.

To have my children see me stand toe to toe and finish 8 rounds with a talented fighter half my age in front of a packed Dallas Cowboy stadium is an experience that no man has the right to ask for. Thank you 🙏

Big news! Today, I'm truly honored to earn the endorsement of Assemblyman @ReubenDSilvaNV!

Assem. D'Silva has been a true public servant, educator, and fighter for our kids. I'm truly honored that #CCSD educators support and endorse our campaign!

[Las Vegas Review-Journal @reviewjournal]

Today marks seven years since the Route 91 Harvest festival shooting on Oct. 1, 2017. May those who lost their lives never be forgotten. ❤

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Today, I'll sign an Executive Order to crack down on emerging firearm threats like unserialized, 3D-printed guns and machine gun conversion devices.

It'll also direct my Cabinet to help improve school-based active shooter drills.

It's our job to do better.

[Steph Pizzoferrato @Steph_Pizzo]

@EthansLaw2 How is NV on the list at poor? We have a safe storage bill (Brooklyn’s Law) which is folded into our Red Flag Law. Also, @CCSD has all parents sign a waiver at the beginning of the school yr acknowledging the liability they carry with the gun storage law. What’s your criteria?

[Karl Catarata @KarlCatarata]

Deeply honored to earn @Everytown's endorsement for my #CCSD School Board campaign! 🧡

With much hope for change, this week reminds us all that we need everyone, in every town, to keep fighting to #EndGunViolence.

[Steven Horsford @StevenHorsford]

I’m excited to announce that I have been named a National Co-Chair for the Harris-Walz campaign.

Together, we will fight and we will win. We’re not going back!

[Karl Catarata @KarlCatarata]

I'm humbled to receive an A+ grade from parents and public education advocates dedicated to keeping special interests and politics out of the classroom.

I will always stand firmly against the same hate and bullying that CCSD students face. - KC

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

A Few things to know about Tim Walz, the possible future Vice President of the United States:

- Born in Nebraska.
- Married with 2 children.
- Command Sergeant Major in the Army National Guard for 24 years.
- High School Teacher and Football coach.
- 6-Term US Representative.
- 2-Term Governor of Minnesota (Re-elected in 2022)
- Moderate Democrat Known for his ability to work across the aisle, Walz has a reputation for bipartisan collaboration.

He's the candidate that Trump feared the most because of his moderate policies and appeal to Independent voters in the Midwest.

32 years ago, my father was killed by senseless gun violence - a tragedy that's all too common for families across the country.

Today we're commemorating #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth and advocating for action, including my #BreakTheCycleOfViolence Act to reduce crime & save lives.

@8675309TheJen @KarlCatarata @nvdems It’s really important to me to stand by truth & to defend what’s right, even if that means saying it to those that have been on the same side. Misinformation can be harmful. I would love to sit down for coffee with you & @KarlCatarata so you can get to know him personally.

[Steph Pizzoferrato @Steph_Pizzo]

@8675309TheJen @KarlCatarata @nvdems I thought you said you know him “personally”. Meeting someone a handful of times doesn’t mean you have a personal connection with them. You know him, you just don’t know him personally. Got it! Noted ✍️
