More people need to pay attention to this and what the 1/6 committee continues to uncover. I'm not one to be alarmist, but voters need to recognize that democracy is at stake here. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

There's absolutely no reason for this race-baiting. Literally, this is what gets people killed. Everyone needs to call this out. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…

One way to show solidarity with Asian Americans during Heritage Month is to confirm Julie Su and let her go to work in representing all American workers. #ConfirmJulieSuNow

Thanks Asian American Scholar Forum for setting up this meeting and thanks to U/S for Economic Growth, Energy, & the Environment for listening to the recommendations and concerns of the Asian American community regarding the intersection between national security, civil rights, and xenophobia. We look forward to our work together.
