Yesterday evening, I had a conversation with Dep Sec of Defense Kathleen Hicks about DoD’s announcement to contest Hawaii’s Red Hill Emergency Order. She reiterated that the intent behind the appeal is to provide the time to continue working towards a solution with the State. — PolitiTweet.org

#BuildBackBetter is FULLY PAID FOR by making large corporations and the rich pay their fair share in taxes That means it WILL NOT add to the deficit or make inflation worse In fact, it will help LOWER inflation and costs for families It’s time to get this done — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We need a Court that is more like America   And understands how these decisions impact the lives of everyday families   Appointing a Black woman will help make that a reality — PolitiTweet.org

Finally we have an Administration that makes a conscious commitment to diversifying our courts. Let’s get this done and confirm the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

I met with @DepSecDef, Admiral Aquilino & @DLAMIL to make sure clean drinking water remains the top priority And that @DeptofDefense develops a long-term plan to store the country’s strategic fuel reserve needs in an increasingly challenging IndoPacific region — PolitiTweet.org

I am confident that President Biden will soon nominate a Black woman who both shares Justice Breyer’s fidelity to the rule of law and will add to the diversity of the court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

For 27 years, Justice Breyer has been a steadfast champion of reproductive rights, voting rights, health care and so many other rights and freedoms we hold dear. I join a grateful nation today in thanking Justice Breyer for his decades of service to our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Reducing carbon pollution from power plants is critical to curbing the climate crisis Yet Republicans continue to undermine @EPA’s ability to do so I'm joining my Democratic colleagues and asking SCOTUS to defend the #CleanAirAct https://t.co/Hk2SFOnZ6L — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I’m joining my colleagues in calling on @SecVilsack, @USDA and @ForestService to restore #RoadlessRule protections for the Tongass National Forest, a vital resource in slowing climate change and a home for countless species of wildlife. — PolitiTweet.org

The easy thing to do—and what the GOP wants—is for us to sit back and do nothing If we don't protect the right to vote, we won’t have a democracy I will keep fighting every single day to pass comprehensive voting rights legislation — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Like so many battles we thought we had won, #RoeVWade is on the line. Fighting back against forced birth and for women’s reproductive freedom is a battle worth fighting for, and so we shall. — PolitiTweet.org

As COVID continues to ramp up, pandemic stimulus programs have started to end, like the #ChildTaxCredit. Our communities need help. It’s time to pass #BuildBackBetter. Now. — PolitiTweet.org

#BuildBackBetter will: Raise child care workers’ wages Establish universal pre-k for every family Lower child care costs for working families Increase the number of child care providers It’s time to get this past the finish line and deliver — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

After tonight’s vote, the battle is not over. We will continue to show the American people what’s at stake and fight to pass comprehensive voting rights legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

There is nothing radical about protecting a person’s freedom to vote. What’s radical is sending us back to the days of Reconstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Many of my Republican colleagues have joined Congressman John Lewis to commemorate the march from Selma to Montgomery. But today they won’t even allow the Senate to consider legislation named in his honor—and have called this bill ‘radical.’ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Republicans claim the Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act is radical. Let's talk about what this bill does: ✔️require early voting & vote by mail options ✔️make Election Day a holiday ✔️crack down on voter intimidation ✔️require post-election audits How is any of this radical? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Before Trump, Republicans at least pretended their laws weren’t blatantly discriminatory. Now they don't even try to hide the fact that they're making it incredibly difficult for people of color, elderly individuals, students, working families, & people w/ disabilities to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Republicans are passing bills to close polling locations, limit voting hours, remove drop-boxes, and even make it illegal to hand a voter in line a bottle of water. I truly want to know how you can even pretend to justify that law? This is voter suppression plain and simple. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Every home in Hawaii is NOW eligible for free at-home COVID-19 tests thanks to Democrats passing the #AmericanRescuePlan. More information on how to get your tests here: https://t.co/cNP10DFbJA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

If we don't protect the right to vote, we won’t have a democracy—it’s that simple, that’s the reality. Since Republicans will not lift a finger to protect voting rights we have no option but to change the Senate rules. #EliminateTheFilibuster — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

While Republicans do nothing to protect our freedom to vote in the face of mass voter suppression bills enacted across the country, we Democrats cannot sit back and let 2020 be the last free and fair election in this country. #EliminateTheFilibuster — PolitiTweet.org
