8 years ago, the Roberts Court eviscerated the heart of the VRA in Shelby County. Today, the right-wing Court Majority – with 3 Trump-appointed justices – effectively gutted what remains. Now, let’s channel our anger into passing the John Lewis VRAA and the #ForThePeopleAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We need to update and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Pass it on. — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to General Milley for pushing back on those who don’t want our servicemembers to read broadly and think critically about our nation’s history and the various perspectives of the people of the nation they defend and serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Finally! After 4 long years, we have an Attorney General who will actively and aggressively protect our right to vote. Today’s announcement is a warning to any state attacking our democracy through voter suppression. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaker Pelosi is right we can’t pass infrastructure without a reconciliation bill that delivers for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Vincent Chin would have been 66 if not for being beaten to death because of his race. His killers never served a day in prison because they “weren't the kind of men you send to jail.” Let us honor Vincent’s memory by continuing to stand with those who fight to #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

We have to ensure access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy for everyone no matter where they live or how much they make as we transition to a cleaner energy future. At my first hearing as Chair of the Energy Subcommittee, I plan to do just that. https://t.co/0hLChgZGdv — PolitiTweet.org

Secretary Austin’s endorsement is clear: real change must be made to the military justice system to protect those who report sexual assault and harassment. It’s past time to confront the culture and system that protects perpetrators. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

There are more than 400 bills in states across the country ready to restrict and suppress our democratic right to vote. Senate Democrats are committed to working to protecting that right. It’s past time to pass the #ForThePeople Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

DC isn't just home to our federal government - it's the home of nearly 700,000 Americans primarily of color who live, work, and pay taxes in the District. They deserve a voice and vote in Congress. It’s time to end over 200 years of voter suppression, we need #DCStatehood now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Thanks to the Supreme Court, the Voting Rights Act is out the window—a huge blow for our government as states are considering what I call steal your vote laws. That’s why it’s time to eliminate the filibuster which is a vestige of Jim Crow so we can protect voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Big News: The American Rescue Plan expanded the #ChildTaxCredit, putting money in the pockets of nearly 40 million families. Beginning July 15, these payments to hardworking families will help to reduce child poverty by half nationwide. Learn more at https://t.co/3kqcjhLDfK. — PolitiTweet.org

A trailblazer and a warrior, Robert Kekaula's passion for Hawaii and its people – especially his beloved Rainbow Warriors – always shown through in his decades covering the news. His voice was a welcome presence in homes across our state, including my own. Rest in aloha, Robert. https://t.co/LElP7aFWMJ — PolitiTweet.org

Juneteenth is officially a federal holiday, but this nation must confront how far we have left to go before true justice is achieved. While Congress recognized Juneteenth, we must also act and pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Earlier this week, I was encouraged to hear @USArmy Secretary Wormuth agree with me about the importance of diplomacy and taking a whole of government approach to addressing challenges and building allies and partners in the Indo-Pacific Region. https://t.co/LsdYETKWdC — PolitiTweet.org

At the same time @Facebook is running ads calling for “updated internet regulations,” its lawyers are trying to stretch Sec 230 to immunize its executives from liability for lying to Congress. If that’s the update they’re looking for, count me out. Pass the SAFE TECH Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Good News: Today, the Supreme Court turned back the latest Republican attack on the Affordable Care Act. We should take a moment to celebrate this win for the millions who will be able to keep their health care, but we need to stay vigilant. GOP attacks on the ACA will continue. — PolitiTweet.org

If Roe v Wade were to be overturned, 24 states are at the ready to ban abortion entirely at the call of the Supreme Court’s far-right majority. We must take action to defend this constitutionally-protected right. The Senate must pass the #WHPA and #ActForAbortionAccess. — PolitiTweet.org

No one should be denied a chance at higher education because it’s unaffordable. For millions of students, Pell Grants have made the dream of going to college attainable. We need the Pell Grant Preservation and Expansion Act to #DoublePell for students. https://t.co/uYhjXnf4cq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Encouraged today by Secretary Wormuth’s candid testimony and her openness to removing the chain of command from prosecutorial decisions involving sexual misconduct allegations. It’s time for Congress to make bold changes to restore trust in the military justice system. https://t.co/0hZXJScsQc — PolitiTweet.org

Nine years ago, we made a promise to Dreamers that they could stop living in fear. Many of them like Dr. Mejia took that promise and became essential workers who save lives every day. Now, the Senate can thank them for their service with a permanent solution. #LetThemDream — PolitiTweet.org

Ketanji Brown Jackson was confirmed unanimously to the D.C. District Court in 2013. Since then, she has shown an evenhanded approach to justice and dedication to the rule of law. It's time for a promotion to the D.C. Circuit. I am proud to be voting yes to #ConfirmJudgeJackson. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It’s clear to me there was an abuse of power by the Trump administration. Former Attorneys General Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions should testify in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee as part of their sense of responsibility to the positions they held and to our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy King Kamehameha Day and Aloha Friday! Unfortunately due to COVID restrictions, we were unable to have our annual #KamehamehaDay lei draping ceremony this weekend. Even so, today we honor Kamehameha the Great and his legacy of uniting the Hawaiian Islands. https://t.co/ryfzv8lRPR — PolitiTweet.org

The @USChamber is out of touch with reality on the need for climate action. I stand with these students demanding that corporations tell the Chamber to support climate action or they will leave. We must #ActOnClimate NOW. https://t.co/iiooQfeOl5 — PolitiTweet.org
