I am proud to support my good friend @Rashad_Hussain for IRF ambassador. Rashad is a superb nominee, bringing un-paralleled policy knowledge, credibility across diverse faith communities, and strong diplomatic experience. Read my op-ed with @McCormickProf

The VP-elect put it perfectly. Having seen @neeratanden over the years - her brilliance, her experience on such a broad range of issues, her tenacity and integrity, Neera will be a superb OMB director.
Like me, @neeratanden was raised by a single mother and knows firsthand the importance of having an economy that treats all people with dignity and respect. I know with her at the helm of the Office of Management and Budget our budget will fully reflect our values.

This @hrw Report underscores, once again, the growing repression of the #Uighur community. On #YomHaShoah, we keenly remember the terrible suffering inflicted on people because of their identity, when good people stand by idly. China must change its policy. Now.
First we found the #Xinjiang #China #IJOP app. Then we reverse engineered it. And now here’s the repository on GitHub: Documents and forensic artifacts from “China’s Algorithms of Repression.” @hrw_chinese @hrw @wang_maya

And our thanks to @USRepKCastor for her leadership in addressing the urgent crisis of climate change. Join us in urging all Members of Congres to pass the Climate Action Now Act:
Thanks to @JonahPesner @rabbisaperstein for your years of service to our country. Working with the entire faith community to reach across lines of race, class & religion to help bend “the arc of the moral universe” towards social justice. @theRAC

From Sri Lanka to Christchurch to Tree of Life to the three black churches torched in Lousiana, civic political and religious leaders must protect the right of all to pray with safety and security.

It was my profound honor to present the #AnneFrankAward to @BenFerencz, the last living prosecutor from the Nuremberg Trials & a pioneer of international law. Wonderful to be with Dutch Amb. @henneschuwer, @IntlCrimCourt Pres. Chile Eboe-Osuji, and @Mohammad_Syria as well today.
