On December 1, 1966, Staff Sergeant Kaneshiro’s platoon was attacked by North Vietnamese soldiers, but he never backed down. He kept fighting and destroyed one enemy group, allowing his platoon to safely withdraw. He was killed in action three months later. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we join the president in honoring two soldiers from Hawai‘i for their courageous service during the Vietnam War. Staff Sergeant Edward Kaneshiro, posthumously, and Specialist Five Dennis Fujii, were awarded with the Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest military decoration. https://t.co/ugWjPcy8Tn — PolitiTweet.org

Restoring fishponds helps communities to reclaim their heritage of stewardship. The Maunalua Fishpond Heritage Center does vital work restoring the ahapua‘a of Kuli‘ou‘ou to be a rich habitat for native fish and birds. https://t.co/lpQQG6rmWR — PolitiTweet.org

We were able to secure funding in 2018 for their new insectary, and I look forward to continuing to help them protect local agriculture. https://t.co/U9xWlYlSzD — PolitiTweet.org

The Daniel K. Inouye U.S. Pacific Basin Agricultural Research Center does important work protecting Hawai‘i & U.S. agriculture by studying insects and diseases that threaten crops like coffee & citrus, protecting pasture lands, & developing improved varieties of tropical fruits. https://t.co/HdvJvOh45O — PolitiTweet.org

After-school programs play a huge role in the education and growth of young children – they are a safe space to do homework, get exercise, and interact with peers. https://t.co/GkMI6Sn0bY — PolitiTweet.org

This project and others like it will make infrastructure safer and more resilient for families across Hawai‘i. https://t.co/SylAmEVXFK — PolitiTweet.org

Emergency repairs are currently wrapping up on the Kolekole bridge, and a large amount of federal funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act can support improvements on the bridge as needed going forward. https://t.co/a5MWTSEgoq — PolitiTweet.org

Had a chance to visit them this morning to discuss how we can continue to help them and their early childhood education program going forward. https://t.co/vYuIS6ZeJ7 — PolitiTweet.org

Patsy Mink was a trailblazer – the first woman of color in Congress & the first woman to represent the state of Hawai‘i. Her work on Title IX helped prohibit gender discrimination in education & her support for child care & education programs continues to improve lives today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

From 1819-1969, our govt used Indian boarding schools to perpetrate horrific injustices against Native children. I’m speaking on the Senate floor about this dark period & how we must acknowledge this history & undertake a path toward healing. Watch here: https://t.co/NOucXgl8oe — PolitiTweet.org

SEC’s climate risk rule will finally require companies to disclose their climate risk exposure, giving investors the accurate data they demand and improving capital allocation. We have ideas on how to strengthen it, but this rule is an important step to protect investors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Just voted for the PACT Act, a bipartisan bill that gives health care & benefits to veterans who fell ill from exposure to dangerous toxic substances while serving our country. The govt has failed service members on this issue for decades – this bill will help make things right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Hawai‘i’s native bird & bee populations are in danger due to shrinking habitats, disease-carrying mosquitoes, & expanding predator populations. This new federal funding will combat these dangers and help protect & save native species and their habitats. https://t.co/hOsDm14FHy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

This move will unfreeze supply chains and allow U.S. companies to start building solar projects again. Glad to see @POTUS taking action to save thousands of jobs and keep us on track to meet our clean energy goals. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

As we continue fighting for civil rights and representation, I’m committed to passing the Equality Act to end LGBTQ+ discrimination so that everyone can be who they are and love who they love. Happy #Pride! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

June is #PrideMonth – a time to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community. It’s also an opportunity to reflect on the progress we have made and the trailblazers who dedicated their lives to helping us reach this point. https://t.co/AQMvQ7OTdv — PolitiTweet.org

That’s why we brought the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs to Hilo and Honolulu for field hearings last week. We were able to meet and talk with local leaders about how the federal government can continue to help on issues like housing, education, and health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

The federal government has a trust responsibility to act in the interest of Native Hawaiians. In order to meet that, we need to hear directly from the Native Hawaiian community. https://t.co/CVlfkKIU3B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Brian Schatz @SenBrianSchatz

Today I’m chairing a Senate Indian Affairs Committee field hearing here in Hilo. We’ll be hearing from Native Hawaiian leaders on how the federal government can continue to help and provide more resources. WATCH our live field hearing: https://t.co/4kON4X1jMR — PolitiTweet.org
