The Senate today confirmed Zahid Quraishi to serve on the District Court for the District of NJ. He makes history today as the first Muslim Article III judge confirmed in our country. Congratulations Judge Quraishi! — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell says that his goal is to make sure that Joe Biden doesn't accomplish major legislation like the infrastructure bill so that Republicans can take back the Senate. I believe him when he says that and so should you. — PolitiTweet.org

PASSED: Yesterday, the Senate passed the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act which includes my IDEA Act that promotes #PatentDiversity. We are one step closer to improving demographic data collection on inventors to ensure that the innovation economy is available to all. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook continues to discriminate when targeting ads for financial services even though its witness told me under oath it doesn't. Now Facebook claims Sec 230 immunizes its illegal conduct. It doesn't. We should make this clear and pass the SAFE TECH Act.https://t.co/zFQEEDaH10 — PolitiTweet.org

Women in this country earn less on the dollar compared to their male counterparts. That wage gap is far worse for women of color with Native Hawaiian women making $0.63/$1.00. Coming out of this economic crisis, it's clearer than ever we must pass the Paycheck Fairness Act. https://t.co/Pc4rBN8sI1 — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE: Join me as Chair of this session's first Subcommittee on Seapower hearing. I look forward to working with my colleagues in a bipartisan spirit as we confront the issues facing our Sailors, Marines, and their families. https://t.co/X1dtEoLMJN — PolitiTweet.org

With the Supreme Court’s far-right majority ready to overturn Roe and strip women of their constitutional right to abortion, it’s critical that Congress protect women’s reproductive freedom. It’s time to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. #ActForAbortionAccess — PolitiTweet.org

The most decorated unit in our history, the 'Go For Broke' soldiers honorably served during WWII even as their friends and families were incarcerated by the country they fought to defend. The story of Shiroku Yamamoto and the 442nd's contributions will now live on forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Equating an AR-15 with a Swiss Army knife is one of the most asinine and heartless comparisons I've ever heard. https://t.co/kZzDFNZxgH — PolitiTweet.org

The Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act has a bipartisan, filibuster-proof majority of support. It deserves a full floor vote. #PassMJIIPA https://t.co/Os75EKwENy — PolitiTweet.org

This Memorial Day, I join a grateful nation in honoring the sacrifices of the brave service members who gave their lives in service to our country. As we remember those we lost, let us also join together to support the families and loved ones they left behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

And congratulations to Hawaii's own Krystal Kaai. Krystal's strong Hawaii ties will provide an important perspective in her work as Executive Director. I look forward to working with her to advance our shared goals and community values at the White House. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today, @POTUS re-established the White House Initiative on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. This demonstrates the White House's understanding of the need for a whole of government approach to advancing equality and justice for these communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Turning away from what happened on January 6th is the coward's way out and that's exactly what Republicans did today. Denying the truth is becoming a habit for them. Auwe! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

As we celebrate the rich diversity of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders this #APAHM, these very communities have been under attack. Let us stand together and continue working to advance civil rights and equality for all Americans. https://t.co/69qSykvz16 — PolitiTweet.org

Our military service members deserve the same quality of care as the civilians they fight to protect. That’s why I support the Access to Contraception for Servicemembers and Dependents Act because everyone should be able to freely plan for their lives and their families. https://t.co/cIV5QwCXcL — PolitiTweet.org

For almost 5 months, Republicans have attacked Kristen Clarke with unfounded smears and outright lies. It’s time to set the record straight. She is one of the most qualified people ever nominated to lead the Civil Rights Division. It's time to #ConfirmClarke. — PolitiTweet.org
