First you gaslight us, then you patronize us. What Chinese Americans and ALL Americans want is honesty, leadership, and testing for everyone. Where are the tests you promised?

Today marks the 31st anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Trump has always admired authoritarian leaders. His use of force against lawful, peaceful protesters outside the White House and threats to deploy the military is no different from what happened at Tiananmen.

Before becoming Governor, I was the King County Executive overseeing the Sheriff’s office and the jails. I know the tremendous impact local officials have on policing practices. Let's sustain this energy to the ballot box and elect more responsible, accountable local leaders.

Folks, tonight we secured the 1,991 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination. I'm going to spend every day fighting to earn your vote so that, together, we can win the battle for the soul of this nation. medium.com/@JoeBiden/on-w…

From the U.S. Senate to the Capitol. Blocks and blocks of people. All wearing masks. And they’re registering people to vote. #BlackLivesMatterDC

We call ourselves, Model MAJORITY, because we hope by sharing more Asian American stories, more of us will take ownership & responsibility in America. There is no more crucial time to exercise that responsibility than NOW, by standing up for our Black brothers & sisters.

Deleted the last tweet. Trump is certainly a racist but I didn’t need to drop the F-bomb But it’s painful to think of all the Asian American kids who will be taunted with “Kung Flu” If you have kids, please watch this video and tell them this isn’t okay. Thanks

I have the great honor to announce that I’ve picked Kamala Harris — a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country’s finest public servants — as my running mate.

The Obama-Biden White House stood up to China, authorized the Embassy to rescue Chen Guangcheng from the streets of Beijing, gave him refuge, and secured his release to America. Trust me, I was there with Hillary Clinton. Defending human rights is more than just talk.

As a Governor, Commerce Secretary and Ambassador, I’ve had a front row seat for decades when it comes to China. Trump may sound tough at the RNC tonight, but the reality is he got played by Xi. We can't have four more years of this foolishness.

Let’s be honest, Trump’s so-called “phase one" trade deal with China is a bad deal, an empty deal. His trade war is hurting American families and workers, while fixing nothing. He is all show and no substance. He is not standing up to China, and he never will.

What Trump’s America means for the safety of Asian Americans: Over 2,500 anti-Asian hate incidents since March Asian American health providers harassed by patients Kids taunted with “China Virus” and “Kung Flu” U.S. citizens told to “go back” to their countries

Last time our country did a Census, I was the Commerce Secretary. We delivered the most accurate Census in US history, on time, and under budget. This time, the Trump administration is doing the polar opposite. Grossly incompetent and unethical. npr.org/2020/09/02/908…

Since it's 🇺🇸day, let's do a reflection 🧵 on the American Dream. I've taken the oath to protect the Constitution 3 times--once for naturalization, once to work @ Dept of Commerce, once to work @ White House. I’ve always taken the concept of “America” seriously.
