The wildfires on Maui and Hawai’i islands are devastating communities, with dozens deceased and untold history and property lost. We are heartbroken to see this tragedy unfold and continue to extend our utmost support for all those affected and on the front line.
A historic town that once was the capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii has been decimated by wildfires that have killed at least 6 people in the state.
“Our home is on fire right now. There needs to be more action and more investment,” one expert said. nbcnews.com/news/asian-ameri…

This Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we renew our work to make the American Dream possible for all – and celebrate AA and NHPI communities and immigrants across our nation.
America's diversity is and has always been our greatest strength.

With joy and pride, we celebrate the AA & NHPI community this month.
Together, we honor the significant contributions and diverse cultures of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders who have paved the way for so many of us.

.@AmbassadorTai doesn't need Members of Congress to pity her—she speaks for the American people and their interests.
Saying she's "too nice a person" and has “too nice a smile” to do her job just feeds into the ugly stereotype of Asian women as docile and subservient.
.@RepGregMurphy: "I think you're too nice a person to be in the job you're in..."
@USTradeRep Katherine Tai: "I've never been faulted for being too nice...OK, well let me just take off the nice a little bit. I don't need your pity. I stand up for the American people."

AAPI fear & pain is not a tool for the gun lobby to exploit. It's unacceptable — but I'll keep fighting for meaningful gun safety measures AND to stop anti-Asian hate.

The gun industry is exploiting our pain to sell more guns to the #AsianAmerican community.

Thank you President Biden for your hard work serving the American people and thank you for taking the time to hear about the issues facing Oakland and California. I look forward to a continued partnership tackling homelessness, public safety, poverty, and climate change.

For years, Asian Americans have experienced a surge in bias and violence against their community, and I will not tolerate a community board member using language that has fueled that wave of bigotry. I have removed this individual from CB 5 for cause.

Prime Minister Kishida of Japan has been a steadfast ally and friend to the United States.
It was my pleasure to sit down with him and discuss how we're stepping up together to advance peace, security, and prosperity for both our countries, the Indo-Pacific, and the world.

When I entered Congress in 2013, I was the sole Indian American Member of Congress and only the third in U.S. history.
Just ten years later, and our coalition is now at five strong!
I look forward to welcoming even more Indian Americans to the halls of Congress in the future.
