Reigning four-time @wsl champion @rissmoore10 does it again! Carissa just keeps making Hawai‘i prouder and prouder.… https://t.co/2HYlgwRgHK — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we remember the lives taken in the 9/11 attacks. We honor the courage & sacrifice of our first responders & so many everyday heroes on that fateful day. And we remain inspired by the unity & love that brought our country together in the face of unspeakable tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

We have labor unions to thank for:   - Minimum wage - Social Security - Weekends - Paid time off - Workplace safety standards   On #LaborDay, we honor the important work our unions have done for generations to support workers and families across Hawai‘i and the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Everyone deserves the chance to rebuild their life through higher education. That’s why I reintroduced legislation encouraging schools to get rid of any questions about criminal history in their applications. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

About 70 million Americans have some type of criminal record. Studies show that rejection rates for applicants with convictions are far higher than applicants without them. And many people don’t even complete their application once they reach the criminal history question. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Colleges and universities need to remove unnecessary questions about criminal history from their admissions processes. A quick thread on why: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Criminals target hundreds of thousands of Americans every year with cybercrimes like hacks & scams. In order to protect people, stop these crimes, & provide more support for victims, we need better data. That’s what our bipartisan bill is all about. https://t.co/81Wg6rwQuC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Our phones connect us to friends, family, & the world around us. But for survivors of domestic abuse, phones are also a terrifying way to be monitored, stalked or controlled. I wrote an op-ed about how my Safe Connections Act would help protect survivors: https://t.co/8YYsDqRKFD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

This week, the Senate passed my bill to protect walkers & bikers in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal. From better safety standards for cars to crosswalk improvements, the bill will make it safer for everyone to use our streets. Glad this is one step closer to becoming law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

BREAKING: Just voted to pass the bipartisan infrastructure deal. At least $2.8 billion is in this bill for Hawai‘i to invest in clean energy & electric vehicles, improve public transit, make our roads & bridges more resilient to climate change, & more. Now it heads to the House. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

The @UN #ClimateReport makes it clear: We can’t keep ignoring the science. We still have time to head off climate change’s worst impacts on our economy, public health, national security, and everyday lives. But we need to act now. Time to get this done. https://t.co/ZlOEgbfMlN — PolitiTweet.org

For all Hawai‘i tenants and landlords: We have now confirmed twice with the CDC that the new federal eviction moratorium applies to ALL counties across the state of Hawai‘i. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Every single American should have access to comprehensive, low-cost health care coverage. By opening up each state’s Medicaid program to anyone who wants to buy in, my bill will help us get there. https://t.co/z5LETVFphr — PolitiTweet.org

It’s always a moment of pride to watch Hawai‘i’s best represent our state and our country at the Olympics. Even though the final result didn’t go our way, we are all proud of @MChristenson11, @shojinator, @Kshoji7, and @usavolleyball. https://t.co/SZtmIhjtTT — PolitiTweet.org

For too long, transportation policy has been focused on how we can fit more cars on our roads, but that isn’t the only way people travel. I authored a bill that will make it safer for everyone to use our streets – whether it’s by foot, by car, or by bike. https://t.co/i93LgCkUcw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

In March, DC’s biggest oil lobby @APIenergy claimed to support methane regulation. But now that push has come to shove, they oppose it. Polluters will never want real climate policy. We need to work with companies that are serious & pass this legislation. https://t.co/PMdo52H02a — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Deadly floods. Devastating wildfires. Heatwaves and droughts. Climate change isn’t a problem we can put off for another day. Its consequences are here and now. That’s why we’re continuing to push for action that’s bold enough to meet this moment. https://t.co/qlimGNLqxC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Huge congratulations to Hawai‘i’s own @rissmoore10 on making history by winning the first-ever gold medal in women’s surfing at the Olympics! You make our state and our country proud 🤙🥇 https://t.co/8iNeM4pl01 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

The electrification of transportation isn’t just about cars, it’s about every way to get around. My E-BIKE Act will help us transition to a clean energy economy by making electric bikes more accessible for those who either don’t want or can’t afford a car. https://t.co/oD3zgx5YFM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

We need to do everything we can to transition to a clean energy economy. That includes changing the way we get around. E-bikes help cut pollution & traffic congestion, but we need to make them more affordable. And that’s exactly what my new bill does: https://t.co/Dv7tnuNauR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

As we see a rise in COVID-19 cases across Hawai‘i, the health and safety of our families and communities depend on each of us doing our part. So if you haven’t gotten your vaccine yet, here’s more info on how to book an appointment: https://t.co/8OfYnZRusv — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE NOW: I’m talking with @PattyMurray about why it’s critical for the upcoming infrastructure package to include major investments in climate action. https://t.co/tijqrbkAWg — PolitiTweet.org

Always great to join the pod. I talked with @jonfavs and @TVietor08 on @PodSaveAmerica about climate action, the filibuster, infrastructure, and more. Check it out: https://t.co/jbOTI0ThTU — PolitiTweet.org

Today, families across Hawai‘i will start receiving monthly #ChildTaxCredit payments of up to $300 per child through the #AmericanRescuePlan.   If you filed taxes in 2019 or 2020, you’ll get it automatically. If you didn’t file taxes, register here: https://t.co/nSNRXrSbmT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

When community colleges provide targeted support to students, it helps them graduate on time. We know that because some schools are already successfully doing it. My bill will ensure that more community colleges have the funds to support student success. https://t.co/SXtHzUBrjU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

I reintroduced the College Equity Act to ensure that the doors of every college and university are open to qualified students from all walks of life – and that these schools can offer the resources students need to graduate on time & make a good living: https://t.co/pwPRQfUoRo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

There are colleges and universities where veterans, people of color, and people with disabilities are able to thrive. And others where they struggle. The difference often comes down to schools knowing the challenges that exist for students and doing something to help. — PolitiTweet.org
