If our 12-week paid family leave is enacted, public servants won’t have to choose between getting a paycheck or taking care of their children. This is a big win for unions & more than 2 million federal workers serving our country every day. https://t.co/00jyftMONW — PolitiTweet.org

We have a long way to go before the nene is completely recovered, but delisting is an important milestone. Thanks to the federal programs, state agencies & the many environmental groups & volunteers who are working to save our iconic state bird. https://t.co/nFCUwSN2uc — PolitiTweet.org

I asked Julie Brill of @Microsoft if people have any idea that online companies exploit their personal information by hiding behind complex legal loopholes. She said no. That’s unacceptable – people deserve a federal privacy law that protects them, not Big Tech’s profits. https://t.co/Vt2baoVacC — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations on today’s promotion of Navy Commander Scott Bresnahan, who served for more than a decade in Hawaii. We're grateful for your leadership & service. https://t.co/WxrFleKmaT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Just as doctors & lawyers are expected to protect & responsibly use the personal data they hold, online companies should be required to do the same. Our bill will help make sure that when websites & apps collect personal information, it won’t be abused. https://t.co/tcCqfaAwUa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

📣 $26M in new federal disaster relief funding from @HUDgov is headed to Hawaii This grant is a huge help as we recover from historic storms in 2018, Hurricane Lane & the eruption of Kilauea — and I'll keep fighting for more funding at every opportunity. https://t.co/M34o2Nv3Kt — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to online privacy, we need to establish rights & responsibilities: 👉 rights for consumers who share personal information online 👉 responsibilities for companies who collect, manage & transmit data Read more about our new bill 👇 https://t.co/HiPZfnkj1p — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

You shouldn’t have to worry about losing your job just because you need a break to eat a meal or use the restroom or tend to a medical need. My new bill protects the right to address basic needs on the job without losing pay or threat of termination. #DignityOfWork https://t.co/ZznM6bmhKk — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care regardless of where they live. Our new bipartisan bill will help identify areas where there aren't enough general surgeons so we can address this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Hawaiʻi has a 42% shortage of general surgeons -- meaning too many don't have access to the care they need. Here's how the general surgeon shortage affects each county ⬇️ https://t.co/X7JlHB6Cun — PolitiTweet.org

My new bill will protect her right to address this medical condition without losing any money from her paycheck. It will also ensure that every worker has the right to bathroom breaks & meal breaks #DignityOfWork https://t.co/PixBDwjPLG — PolitiTweet.org

Anna can’t afford to lose the pay, but she also can’t not take the breaks when she need to. That isn’t right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

For medical reasons, Anna had to get an accommodation for additional bathroom breaks. Even after obtaining a note from her physician, her company refuses to pay her for taking these medically-required breaks — reducing her already low pay of $11.40/hour. — PolitiTweet.org

When we let companies use our personal information, we should be able to trust that it will be protected & won’t be used to harm us. Our new bill lays out a set of strong data privacy rights & provides the tools needed to hold Big Tech accountable. https://t.co/29l8RwleQM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Too many workers don’t have the right to use the restroom, eat a meal or tend to medical conditions while working long shifts. My new bill will ensure all workers are treated with dignity & protect the right to address needs during the workday. #DignityOfWork https://t.co/X0G7BCWpf0 — PolitiTweet.org
