Today, @POTUS signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes bill into law. It will expedite the review of hate crimes and expand efforts to make reporting more accessible. Thank you to Senator @MazieHirono and @RepGraceMeng for your leadership and to all members who helped pass this bill.

Every single day, we are working to increase vaccine supply, increase places to get vaccinated, and increase the number of vaccinators all in service of getting as many shots in arms as we can as quickly as we can. Here's the progress we made this week.

First in the nation pilot sites. Thousands of vaccinations a day at each site. This is what real federal partnerships can help create. Thank you @POTUS.

I led the effort to decriminalize & legalize cannabis because the war on drugs has been an abject failure—with disproportionate & devastating impacts on communities of color. These are the types of entrepreneurial opportunities we dreamed of—thanks Jay-Z! wsj.com/articles/jay-z-joins…

244 years old and our nation has just inaugurated the first Female Vice President @KamalaHarris. An Asian-American Black Woman sworn in by our nation’s first Latina Justice. It’s a moment of tremendous significance. As @JLo sings, “This land was made for you and me.” 🇺🇸

Our president is not above the law. Justice serves the people — it doesn’t protect the powerful.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has a nice ring to it.
Even with three Trump-appointed justices, SCOTUS declines to roll back marriage equality: The Supreme Court declined to take up Indiana's effort to discriminate against same-sex couples, and will continue to preserve the meaning of Obergefell v. Hodges. bit.ly/3oRcrxV

Voting might be over, but the counting will continue until there are no ballots left to count.  After all, that’s how democracy in America is supposed to work.   Be safe and congratulations, California!

CA more than doubled previous early-voting records and delivered the largest overall vote in our history.     We demonstrated that our democratic will is stronger than those who would threaten our free and fair elections with phony threats or the fog of fear tactics.

California has successfully conducted a record-setting election that was safe, secure and accessible -- accompanied by the largest universal vote-by-mail effort ever managed in our country.   Californians have met the moment, exercising the right to vote in historic numbers.
