- Trump wants to use funding that would make your life better as leverage to indulge his never-ending need to stroke his own ego. If you needed anymore proof that Trump won't do anything to help Americans if it doesn't benefit him or his pocketbook, here it is: www.politico.com/news/2026/02...
- ‘Ōlelo Hawai‘i is one of Hawaii's official languages, but past teaching bans and misguided policies nearly led to its extinction. Through perseverance, Hawaii's communities have revitalized the language, but we must continue working to preserve and protect it. E ola mau ka ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi!
- This administration's single-minded obsession with deportation is endangering children and breaking up families. Americans have made it clear they've had enough of this regime's chaos. We must change course. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
- Dragging people out of their cars. Arresting people without judicial warrants. Killing American citizens in the street. DHS's violent chaos cannot continue. We need to put common sense guardrails on them NOW.
- This regime's lies will never be able to cover up what we can see with our own eyes. DHS and ICE are out of control.
- Emphasis on the BS. Pete Hegseth’s attacks on women in combat roles are a pathetic and misogynistic distraction that makes us less safe. Real leaders focus on readiness and retention, not culture-war stunts.
- Black history is American history. As this regime attempts to whitewash our nation's past, I'm proud to stand on the right side of history, one that celebrates diversity and recognizes the immeasurable contributions of Black Americans. Happy Black History Month!
- January 6th rioters attacked hundreds of Capitol police, and their "repercussions" were celebratory pardons from Trump. Alex Pretti's "attack" was recording an ICE agent on his phone, and his repercussion was being shot. This regime's hypocrisy is beyond dangerous; it's lethal.
- Trump thinks he can decide how our elections are run. WRONG. Bondi thinks she can use Americans as pawns to interfere with free and fair elections. WRONG. Trump thinks of states as just agents for the federal government. WRONG. Everything this regime does and thinks is just wrong, wrong, wrong.
- Last year, this regime eased crypto-crime enforcement. And now, a recent investigation reveals that a top DOJ official held over $150,000 in cryptocurrency when he made the decision. This regime may let corruption and conflict of interest fly, but I don't.
- I just voted NO to funding DHS. With ICE and CBP sowing chaos and fear in our communities—shooting Americans in broad daylight—it's past time to put an end to their lawlessness.
- This regime has done more to defend DHS agents who killed two Americans in broad daylight than it has to ensure you can afford to put food on the table or see a doctor. It's disgusting.
- AKA keeping Americans healthy is "not really" a concern for this regime.
- Whether it's about tariffs or this regime's corruption, Trump does nothing but lie. And now, as Americans are being killed in broad daylight, the lies are more brazen than ever. His lies can't cover up what we can see with our own eyes: DHS is wreaking havoc on our cities.
- It’s only been a year of Trump, and already under his regime, two Americans have been killed by federal agents in broad daylight, millions of Americans can no longer afford health care, and the cost of energy, groceries, and housing is straining families. America deserves better.
- This regime ripped away health care from millions, refused to fund SNAP when families were hungry & is now fighting to fund an organization that has left 2 Americans dead. Their priorities are clear. They care more about attacking immigrants than they do about your well-being.
- I am an immigrant. But more than that, I am a human being and an American. No one — regardless of status or where they come from —should have to endure the pain, chaos, and violence ICE has brought into our communities this past year. DHS and ICE's terror stops now. They must be controlled.
- ICE is killing Americans in broad daylight. Breaking up families. Sowing fear and chaos into our communities. The right needs to wake up. This is not America. We cannot give DHS and ICE a blank check for terror and violence.
- DHS agents have summarily killed another person. This regime claims to be targeting ‘the worst of the worst,’ while they target people for exercising their constitutional right to free speech with lethal force. This lawlessness cannot be allowed to continue.
- Republicans made life cheaper for the wealthiest people in our country by handing out tax breaks with their Big Ugly Bill, but if hard-working Americans can't afford the life-saving care they need... Republicans think that's just too bad.
- ICE is snatching people off the streets and sending them into the unknown. A U.S. citizen was murdered in her car in broad daylight. CHILDREN are being detained, and this regime is still trying to justify it all. This should not be happening.
- Trump has no right to invade Greenland. Military adventurism doesn't lower costs or strengthen our national security. These thoughtless and impulsive moves only work to stroke Trump's out-of-control obsession with power and ruin decade-long relationships with our allies.
- Four CHILDREN, including a 5-year-old, were detained by ICE yesterday in Minnesota. This is who this regime thinks is the "worst of the worst"?
- When given the opportunity to lower health care costs and extend the ACA tax credits, Senate Republicans refused to come to the table. And now, because of their negligence, millions of Americans have to choose between seeing a doctor or putting food on the table.
- Donald Trump wants you to believe that it is unrealistic for you to be able to afford rent, groceries, and health care. He's gaslighting you. Affordability is not fake. The only thing that's fake is the idea that he's doing anything to lower costs for the American people.
- Millions of Americans can't afford health care or to keep food on the table, and Trump's moral compass told him to invade a foreign country... using YOUR taxpayer dollars. Why? Because his morality seems to be guided only by greed and corruption.
- I warned this would happen. Pete Hegseth’s confirmation meant a compliant Pentagon—and that’s exactly what we continue to see. We need leaders who restrain the President, not amplify his impulses. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...
- Republicans be like: Year in Review: ✅sowing fear and chaos into our communities ✅greenlighting racial profiling and arresting US citizens ✅cutting SNAP benefits ✅taking away access to health care ✅attacking public education ✅hiking energy prices
- Trump's regime has made it clear they don't care about funding SNAP or WIC, and they really don't care if Americans go hungry. As this regime wages war on food assistance, I'm proud to see Hawaii fighting back against hunger & against this regime's sick need to starve Americans.
- First, the Pentagon kicks out reporters who reject gag rules. Now, Stars and Stripes applicants are asked how they’d advance Trump’s agenda. Access bans. Loyalty tests. This is not “merit hiring." It’s systematic censorship of military journalism.
- Instead of addressing affordability and soaring health care costs, Republicans spent yesterday trying to roll back the approval of a safe and effective drug that hundreds of thousands of Americans have relied on for decades.
- With only a day left of open enrollment, 1.4 million fewer Americans have signed up for ACA health plans compared to this time last year — over 1,500 of them being from Hawaii. Our neighbors are going without coverage because Trump refuses to address his health care cost crisis.
- The House passed a health care plan to extend the ACA tax credits for 3 years. Now it's up to Senate Republicans to decide. Do they want their constituents to be able to afford health care, or do they want to suck up to Donald Trump?
- Reposted by Senator Mazie K. HironoLast week, the U.S. Attorney for D.C. asked to interview me because of a 90-second video that President Trump didn't like. The intimidation *is the point*. And it’s not going to work. Watch my full response. youtube.com/shorts/rM4PY...
- This regime is lying to you about what happened on January 6th, 2021. I was there. I saw the violent insurrection with my very eyes. Their lies will never erase the pain, terror, and damage inflicted on our democracy, our country, and those who lost loved ones.
- Republicans claim to be focused on rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. They aren’t. If they were, then they'd acknowledge the rampant corruption being carried out by this regime. Starting with the White House.
- Under this regime, corporate profits are more important than the lives of the American people. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/c...
- Fed Chair Powell is doing his job—making decisions based on facts and data, not Trump’s reckless demands. Once again, this regime is using DOJ to attack Trump's perceived political enemies, further undermining our democracy, our economy, and the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/11/u...
- Donald Trump doesn't even have concepts of a plan for Venezuela, but he's already briefed big oil executives on how they make money from his invasion. Once again, he's prioritizing himself and his billionaire buddies over our democracy and the American people. apnews.com/article/trum...
- This regime wants to transfer ED programs to federal agencies with no education experience or expertise. They've already tried this before and realized on their own that it does not work. Yet they are doing it again. Why? Because they do not care about your kids.
- We don't "need" Greenland. We need a President who delivers on their promises. We need to pass a health care plan. We need to lower costs. We need to end the chaos.
- Today, the American people and the world are left with more questions than answers. My statement on U.S. military action in Venezuela:
- This does not have to happen. There is a vaccine to prevent whooping cough, but this regime prioritizes conspiracy theories over your health. Americans deserve to be healthy, not plagued with PREVENTABLE illnesses.
- Republicans are doing what they do best: deflecting. Instead of finding a solution to the health care crisis they created, they want to distract you from the truth: health care costs are skyrocketing, and it's all their fault. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
- "Things are better than you think," says the guy building a $350+ million ballroom while the rest of the country can barely afford groceries. He is so out of touch it's nauseating.
- Protecting child health apparently no longer "aligns" with HHS's "missions or priorities". HHS just confirmed what I've been saying for months: This regime does not prioritize keeping our children or our nation healthy. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
- Higher energy bills. Higher grocery bills. Higher health care bills. Everything has gotten more expensive since Trump took office, and he thinks that deserves an A+++++. abcnews.go.com/US/energy-bi...
- Republicans love to talk about rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. But why don't any of them pay attention to the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse coming from Trump? It's not like his lawlessness and abuse of power are hard to see.
- There is a vaccine to stop this. But because RFK Jr prioritizes conspiracy theories and junk science, extreme outbreaks of preventable diseases will become our country's new reality.
- Now that Trump’s gaudy ballroom is on the line, this administration suddenly claims to care about national security. Where was that concern when Pete Hegseth was using Signal to share details of a classified mission?
- The troubling news: The U.S. lost another 105,000 jobs in October. And it's all because of Donald Trump's disastrous economic policies.
