None of this would be possible without advocates like @RepCardenas @brianschatz and community leaders like @weareoceania @aapcho @apiahf who fought to right this historic wrong. This is a “shining moment” at a time of darkness for our country. Let's savor it. — PolitiTweet.org

By allowing states to enroll COFA citizens in Medicaid, we are upholding the promises we made to those in the Freely Associated States. And we're supporting places like Hawaii that have traditionally stepped in to provide health care for the COFA community. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Our work has only become more urgent as COFA communities experience overwhelming rates of infection and death from the pandemic. Last night, when a long-overdue deal was reached on COVID relief, Congress finally included the restoration of Medicaid access to COFA citizens. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Hawaii’s Congressional delegation has fought for decades to restore Medicaid access for COFA citizens. I first introduced legislation to do so when I served in the House. And then again in 2013, 2015, 2017 and 2019. We got so close to passing it so many times. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
But in 1996, a legislative error kicked those citizens off Medicaid. That error led to high uninsurance rates and untreated diseases like diabetes and hypertension leaving COFA citizens vulnerable to more serious complications from #COVID19. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
In exchange, citizens of those countries could live, work, and study in the United States while receiving benefits like Medicaid. Many COFA citizens then came to the U.S. to seek health care because of complications from the fallout of nuclear testing. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
Later, the US entered into Compacts of Free Association with the Marshall Islands, Palau, and Micronesia. Under COFA, the US receives exclusive military access to their strategic territorial waters protecting our national security in the Indo-Pacific region. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
From the 1940s-1950s, the US military used locations like Bikini Atoll in the Marshall Islands as testing sites for nuclear bombs—vaporizing islands, spreading mass radiation, and forcing people to flee the only homes they knew. https://t.co/qJpOVIP5Pq — PolitiTweet.org

🚨 THREAD: 25 years ago, COFA communities in the US lost access to health care our government promised to provide. Their health has suffered as a result, particularly during the #COVID19 pandemic. Tonight, Congress will right that wrong. https://t.co/FDkQZsDArm — PolitiTweet.org

The much needed help from this emergency relief bill like assistance for renters and vaccine distribution will only get us through the next 3 months. We need to do more in the next year to provide the kind of support families, small businesses, and our communities need. https://t.co/pi39Pa0tdW — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of giving any oxygen to Bill Barr's efforts to cover his own okole on his way out the door, let's lift up this important op-ed from Erica Newland about accountability and how we can repair the damage Trump and Barr have done to the rule of law. https://t.co/wHiQHSdGt6 — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden/Harris Administration will take the following steps in 2021. Step One: Getting the pandemic under control, so we can reopen our economy. Step Two: Getting the vaccine out to the country. Step Three: Getting more help for the people who need it. https://t.co/FRv18RGYTQ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump has become even more unhinged after losing the election. Now he's considering sending the military to rerun elections in states he lost fair and square. 31 more days until we can ignore the crazy things coming out of Trump’s mouth because he will no longer be president. — PolitiTweet.org

Our veterans have stood up and spoken their truth—Secretary Wilkie has lost their trust and confidence. His actions no longer serve the best interests of the veterans community. The President must remove him immediately. https://t.co/wUtqT9Tvaz — PolitiTweet.org

.@Facebook likes to tout all the content it takes down for violating its Community Standards. But the company’s own data scientists tell @BuzzFeed it is deleting less than 5% of the hate speech on the platform because of fear of baseless claims of anti-conservative bias. — PolitiTweet.org

It practically brought tears to my eyes to see frontline health care workers get their vaccinations. The hope in their eyes, the stories they told gave me hope for the country. But it's not over yet.

The authorization of this vaccine alone will not end the pandemic, and all of us must continue doing our part – by wearing a mask, washing our hands, and practicing social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono
While we celebrate the authorization of the first coronavirus vaccine, we cannot ignore the immense, ongoing human toll of this pandemic – which has already claimed nearly 300,000 lives and is currently surging across the country. — PolitiTweet.org
