    Hey @netflix — if you’re doing that reboot of The Office, I’m clearly a shoo-in to replace @SteveCarell...

    With a number of news outlets reporting that the President intends to terminate DACA, my office has released the following statement:

    In San Jose, we reject this administration’s politics of fear & exclusion, which is tearing families apart. It’s important for all members of our community— regardless of immigration status— to know they have rights & that #SJPD will not participate in ICE enforcement activity.
    Exclusive: ICE raids targeting as many as 2,000 migrant families are slated to start Sunday in major U.S. cities wapo.st/2Y3DNE7

    For this atrocious, sickening display in our Capitol Building, @realDonaldTrump should be tried for #sedition. As a former federal prosecutor, I refer our next US Attorney General to 18 USC 2384 & 2385. May God bless and bring peace to our nation. uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?pat…

    Happy Monday @DLoesch/@NRA: Thx for spreading the word about our new gun safety proposal. In the hour it took you to shoot & edit this video, 4 people died from gun violence. @ Other U.S. cities: feel free to DM me if you’d like a copy of our proposal to use as a template.
    "Mayor @sliccardo is pushing for city legislation that would require every single firearms transaction to be recorded… Both video recording and audio recording. That's a gun registry. It's a registry of firearm owners." —@DLoesch

    Please report ICE activity locations, description of ICE vehicles, badge numbers, photos, or other information to the Rapid Response Network at (408) 290-1144, so that we can gather the information—and where appropriate—take legal action to protect our community.

    If you think @SenKamalaHarris took a minute to rest before returning to work, you don’t know her work ethic: she met with me the am after impeachment hearings stretched to 2 am. Millions of families would benefit if her recent bill for an extended school day became law

    You should be prosecuted for seditious conspiracy under 18 USC 2344. I would be happy to assist in the prosecution of that case. Don’t worry— you’ll get out in less than 20 years, with good time...

    In a brutally difficult budget year, @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom came through with state legislative leaders to find nearly $1 billion to get California’s #homeless housed, in partnership with @CABigCityMayors. Thank you for your leadership, Governor! google.com/amp/s/www.lati…

    As of last night, 85% of San Joséans eligible for a #COVID vaccine have received at least one dose. San José is first among the ten largest cities in the country to reach this threshold. (1/3)

    Mayors don’t have the luxury of just offering "thoughts and prayers" while gun violence tears communities like mine apart. Without congressional action, we can’t end gun violence — but we’re going to stop paying for it. axios.com/san-jose-mayor…
