We’re celebrating our AAPI Vice President candidate @kamalaharris today by remembering other AAPI sheroes! This is my mother, Deepti. #SheRose she left behind everything she had and everyone she knew in our home country of India to give me a better life. #AAPISheRose @AAPI_Biden

State Senator @vingopal’s recent piece in the @AsburyParkPress on how we can address the challenge of affordable drugs by prioritizing generic medication, is a great read for anyone interested in the subject of affordable healthcare in this country.

Happy Holi! Holi is best known for vibrant colors that are tossed at friends and loved ones. Full of joy, Holi is all about positivity, setting aside our differences, and coming together. A message that’s been embodied by communities across the world during these tough times.

Uplift, educate, take action. Reports of anti-Asian violence have increased by 150% in major U.S. cities over the past year. Join us as we uplift the Asian American community and #StopAsianHate. For info on how you can do your part, visit: stopaapihate.org.

Tomorrow @POTUS and @VP's travel will now focus on meeting with Asian American leaders to discuss the ongoing attacks and threats against the community. POTUS and VP will also meet with other local leaders and visit the Center for Disease Control.

Doug and I grieve with the families and communities of those whose lives were horrifically taken last night. Violence is never acceptable and has no place in our country. While the motive is unknown, @POTUS and I want the Asian American community to know we stand with you.

Samir and Neal own NaanStop in Atlanta, Georgia — and like many small businesses around the country, they’ve been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. I gave them a call to hear their story and talk about how the American Rescue Plan will help businesses like theirs.

When the white supremacist mob stormed the Capitol, I didn’t feel that I could comfortably walk out as a WOC. I felt vulnerable & I know many of my WOC colleagues felt the same way. We'll never forget what happened & we'll never stop fighting against hate. thelily.com/the-capitol-riot…

No one should be profiteering off of our criminal justice system. That’s why today, I ordered the Department of Justice to end the use of private prisons by the federal government.

Congrats @__machmud, well deserved!
Some personal news!💉 Incredibly honored to join the @WHCOVIDResponse policy team and follow in the footsteps of my parents, who came to the US in 1995 and have served at @CDCgov for 20+ years. I hope they are proud and my 9th grade biology teacher bewildered.🇺🇸#MaskUpSleevesUp
