Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

As we celebrate #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth, it was great to meet with local Filipino community leaders and the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines to discuss important issues Filipinos face here in Hawai‘i. https://t.co/dBL6WNf3Sv — PolitiTweet.org

As a member of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, I will use every tool, every power, and every resource at my disposal to drain the tanks as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Of course they need to assess, prepare, and drain the tanks in a way that is safe and doesn’t cause more contamination, but anything resembling a delay, intentional or not, is totally unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

The Department of Defense is perfectly capable of meeting a tight timeframe in an emergency situation. And this is an emergency. Our water was poisoned. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Shutting down Red Hill cannot be delayed. With a commander now in place, the Joint Task Force can become fully operational and begin to work on-site with state, local, and community leaders to safely and quickly defuel Red Hill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

We enacted the biggest climate action in U.S. history, and it would not have been possible without the many young activists, community leaders, experts, and policymakers who never gave up. Today, we celebrated at the White House. Tomorrow, we continue the fight. https://t.co/uuFDOpvvrZ — PolitiTweet.org

It was great to meet with local union leaders yesterday at Hawaiʻi’s Labor Unity Picnic. I’m so grateful for the work they do, and I’ll always stand shoulder to shoulder with unions. https://t.co/bpPfCAMsZM — PolitiTweet.org

While the fight for workers’ rights continues, today, we thank them for being champions for families and working people everywhere. Happy Labor Day! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

For generations, labor unions in Hawaiʻi and across the country have worked to protect the rights of workers, fighting for better pay and benefits, safer workplaces, and the 40-hour work week that gave us the weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

Internships are a great way to get started in public service & be part of a team that is working for Hawai‘i.

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

By investing in clean energy, clean transportation, and climate-smart manufacturing, we’ll cut emissions 40 percent by the end of the decade. And we’re going to pay for it all by making billion-dollar corporations finally pay their fair share of taxes. — PolitiTweet.org
