Thrilled #AB1287 made it through Senate Judiciary, one step closer to ending the pink tax! Women are charged more and paid less. AB 1287 will end sexist pricing once and for all. Thank you to my joint-author @AsmGarcia and our partners in the @CaWomensCaucus and @CCSWG
While national news focuses on San Francisco, if you really want to know where California's headed - look at the East Bay. Home to nearly 3 million people (3x the size of SF), it's a window into the future of America's suburbs & non-superstar cities. And the future is bright. 🧵
Hawaii has the lowest gun death rate in the country — Hawaii also requires permits with a mandatory 14 day waiting period, an age requirement of being 21 to buy a gun, and bans on assault weapons and magazines with more than 10 rounds.
Today is #GunViolenceAwarenessDay and I am proud to be a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate. My office co-leads the FBI Safe Streets Task Force that coordinates the resources of federal, state and local law enforcement on guns, gangs and homicides.
My deepest condolences go to the loved ones of those lost yesterday in Tulsa.
Mass shootings should not be a daily headline. We cannot stop fighting for reform. Congress must act.

We need to repudiate in the strongest terms the politicians and media figures who — whether for political gain or to boost ratings — have used their platforms to promote and normalize “replacement theory” and other starkly racist, anti-Semitic, and nativist conspiracy theories.
#NEW: Federal prosecutors dropped more than a dozen cases involving officers from East Bay cities that are the subject of a widespread FBI probe into 'crimes of moral turpitude.' This includes people getting dismissals after pleading guilty: https://t.co/abBSqr114m
The race for Contra Costa County DA is attracting lots of campaign cash on both sides... including from law enforcement groups intent on defeating @DADianaBecton. What's behind all that $$$$?
