Four months after the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act was signed into law, @RepGraceMeng and I are asking @TheJusticeDept for updates about how the law is being implemented. https://t.co/iI3oItQwUr — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the Republican selective outrage, let’s hear from General Milley himself about the final months of the Trump administration when he comes to testify before the Senate Armed Services Committee at the end of the month. https://t.co/rxlCANOF1q — PolitiTweet.org

Today, because of Democrats in Congress, parents are receiving another round of the #ChildTaxCredit payments. We are working to extend these payments through the American Families Plan because they are providing real benefits for families. https://t.co/vlC9Fmegg2 — PolitiTweet.org

After hearing the gut-wrenching testimony this morning, I asked Director Wray if the FBI directly seeks feedback from survivors about their experiences engaging with the FBI. Watch our exchange here: https://t.co/QLFfOiArLV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today, @Simone_Biles, @McKaylaMaroney, @MagsGotSwag12, and @Aly_Raisman again courageously shone a light on the culture of complicity, exploitation, and abuse of power they experienced. They are right to demand better from the FBI, USA Gymnastics, and the Senate. https://t.co/2L5vDSHVTL — PolitiTweet.org

This is rich coming from someone rushed onto the Supreme Court to overturn Roe, and now she essentially has done so. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today we mark twenty years since 9/11, a dark day for our nation. As we mourn the tragic loss that so many families and communities experienced, we will never forget the bravery and sacrifice of those who rushed to respond. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Given the recent events in Afghanistan, it’s more important than ever to connect with your veteran friends and family and let them know that you’re there for them and that help is available. https://t.co/zkUC8iGFWi — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay. I encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out and ask for support – know that you are not alone. This is especially true for our nation’s veterans, who commit suicide at 1.5x the rate of non-veteran adults in the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Voting rights, abortion rights--what's next on Texas legislators' constitutional hit list? In suing Texas, we finally have an Attorney General who protects our constitutional rights and the rule of law. But make no mistake: collective action is needed to defend our rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, as we celebrate Labor Day, I am particularly thankful for Hawaii’s rich tradition of organized labor. We must continue our fight for livable wages, worker protections and so much more. Stay safe everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Supreme Court's abuse of power in using the shadow docket to in effect end Roe is one in a series of rulings from right-wing, activist justices. We need court reform. https://t.co/Fi4lNubU6q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Mahalo to @HawaiianAir for stepping up and representing Hawaii well by joining the @DeptofDefense Civil Reserve Air Fleet to help relocate our Afghan allies and their families across the United States. This is the aloha spirit in action. https://t.co/p4Q4wahULB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I don't want to hear any more lectures from Republicans about 'activist judges.' From Citizens United to Shelby County to Janus to this case, so-called “conservative” justices have no trouble overturning precedent when it's something they don't agree with. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We must respond to this ruling at every level, including filibuster reform, codifying Roe, court reform, voting in elections, and individual state efforts to protect a woman's right to choose. This ruling requires action from all of us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Battles won don’t stay won. Decades of Roe precedent torched by activist right-wing justices. Women across the country were being gaslighted into thinking their fears were unfounded. They were not. Women’s rights are under attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

By deputizing anti-abortion activists as bounty hunters, Texas Republicans have in effect banned abortion in Texas. The Supreme Court just gave the green light to this law, fulfilling a decades-long Republican quest to control women's bodies. Fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

That abortion case you think the Supreme Court will use to take down Roe next year? It might not matter. The Court can end abortion rights tonight, without any oral arguments. They're hoping we don't notice. #BansOffOurBodies — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Our military deserves our gratitude for their tremendous effort in evacuating more than 122,000 people from Afghanistan in just a few weeks. After the deadline, we need to use diplomatic, economic and other means to evacuate remaining U.S. citizens, Afghan partners, and others. https://t.co/eHMVl1QOPU — PolitiTweet.org

This ultraconservative Supreme Court ruling has direct and devastating consequences for millions of Americans, including Hawaii residents. I have heard firsthand from families worried about being evicted. Congress must swiftly act to address this imminent crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Our servicemembers are performing heroically under extremely difficult circumstances. I thank them for their courage in support of this vital mission of swiftly getting Americans and our Afghan partners and their families out safely. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

My thoughts are with the families and friends of those killed in Afghanistan today, including the brave U.S. servicemembers who died defending the ongoing evacuation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Supreme Court is forcing the Biden Administration to reinstate a cruel, inhumane mockery of asylum law championed by Donald Trump. Remain in Mexico subjected thousands of vulnerable migrants to kidnappings, murders, and other horrifying crimes. This must stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Since the Korean War, Korean Americans have been separated from their loved ones in North Korea. I introduced the Korean War Divided Families Reunification Act with @SenDanSullivan because Korean Americans should be included in reunions with their loved ones in North Korea. https://t.co/t78DNiGYLx — PolitiTweet.org
