Indian American freshman U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna was among more than a quarter of California's members of Congress who sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security regarding work eligibility of spouses of H-1B visa holders.

The letter, signed by 15 of the state's 53 representatives and dated March 5, urged DHS not to go forward with its plans to revoke work eligibility of H-1B holders' spouses, according to a San Francisco Chronicle report.

The man's complaint seemed straightforward: He had come to the emergency room last June at Harrington Hospital in Southbridge, Massachusetts, for wrist pain that wouldn't quit.

The 24-year-old patient seemed anxious. But he didn't present any signs of being dangerous — red flags that nurse Elise Wilson had come to recognize over the course of her four-decade career. She had spent 35 years in the ER, where nurses encounter violence from patients or patients' relatives "almost on a daily basis," she said.

I really hate starting stories with, "So I was dating this guy," but unfortunately, that's precisely how this one begins. Jake, a blindingly handsome man with more game than Steph Curry, and I had been seeing each other somewhere between casually and semi-seriously for a while. We were sleeping together regularly, but we'd never had "the talk" about exclusivity. So, when one night his condom "accidentally" slipped off during sex, I believed it was just that: an accident.

It wasn't.

What sounds like something on a history class pop quiz is actually the answer to a civics question, one Americans are asking in mounting anger: How do we cut drug prices in the U.S., which are the highest in the world, and provide universal access to lifesaving drugs?

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and 12 other House Democrats have introduced legislation intended to curb workplace violence in health care facilities.

The Health Care Workplace Violence Prevention Act, introduced March 8, would direct OSHA to create a standard that would require health care facilities to develop and implement facility- and unit-specific workplace violence prevention plans.

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, an outspoken gun control advocate, is set to join U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna for a town hall with high school students discussing gun violence, according to a news release from Khanna's office.

The town hall, dubbed a "conversation on gun violence," is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. Monday on the campus of Newark Memorial High School. It will feature about 2,000 people from up to seven Bay Area high schools.

In the age of "shut up and dribble," Steve Kerr continues to speak out.

The Warriors head coach will participate in a town hall-style meeting with California's 17th congressional district representative Ro Khanna and a group of high school students at Newark Memorial High School in Newark, Calif. on Monday to discuss gun violence in America.

Kerr has emerged as one of the more outspoken sports figures on political issues and President Donald Trump.
