President Joe Biden on Friday condemned rising hate crimes against Asian Americans in the wake of the mass shooting in the Atlanta area that left eight people dead, including six women of Asian descent.

Biden said hate crimes against Asian Americans have been "skyrocketing" since the coronavirus pandemic began more than a year ago and that the country cannot be silent in the face of the hate and violence.
"Our silence is complicity. We cannot be complicit. We have to speak out. We have to act," Biden said, speaking from Emory University in Atlanta.
He said Asian Americans have been "attacked, blamed, scapegoated and harassed. They've been verbally assaulted, physically assaulted, killed."
Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Atlanta on Friday to meet with Asian American leaders in the wake of the deadly shooting.

2021-03-30 05:16:57 Former Trump fixer Michael Cohen meets with New York DA for the eighth time.
Michael Cohen, former President Donald Trump's former fixer, is meeting for the eighth time with the Manhattan District Attorney's office on Friday, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors have increased the frequency of their interviews with Cohen since they began in the fall of 2019 soon after the district attorney's office subpoenaed Trump's accountant for his taxes.
Cohen, who worked for Trump for about a decade and once said he would take a bullet for Trump, knows the inner workings of the company. Prosecutors are interested in speaking with Cohen because he can help explain the culture of the company and the relationships between Trump, his family, and Allen Weisselberg, the chief financial officer of the Trump Organization.

2021-03-29 04:54:10 "We certainly know and knew going in that there are a number of areas where we are fundamentally at odds, including China's actions in Xinjinag, with regard to Hong Kong, Tibet, increasingly Taiwan, as well as actions it is taking in cyberspace," Blinken said, speaking to reporters with Sullivan after the last session of talks wrapped on Friday. "It's no surprise that when we raised those issues clearly and directly, we got a defensive response. But we were also able to have a very candid conversation over these many hours on an expansive agenda."
Blinken said that the US had two priorities
laying out US and international concerns about China's behavior and conveying the Biden administration's positions.
"We expected to have tough and direct talks on a wide range of issues, and that's exactly what we had," Sullivan added. "We had the opportunity to lay out our priorities and intentions and hear from the Chinese side their priorities and intentions."

The administration has repeatedly touted that it has doubled the amount of vaccine going out to the states during Biden's first seven weeks in office -- and are now averaging about 2.2 million shots per day, but major challenges remain.
