Today, we celebrate and honor the rich contributions of Korean Americans to our nation’s history. Since the first Korean immigrants arrived in Hawaii over a century ago, nearly two million Korean Americans have contributed to our economy and society. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

What I’d like to see is a fair trial – one with relevant witnesses and documents. @realDonaldTrump has told witnesses to not testify. Multiple requests have been sent to the White House, not a single document was produced. That’s called stonewalling. https://t.co/pzfF9Jj1T5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are trying to cover-up what the President did by focusing on the process rather than the substance. @realDonaldTrump shook down the President of another country for his own political purposes. That’s what we should be focusing on. https://t.co/z8qWfRn4rz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Just as @realDonaldTrump tried to rig his election by shaking down the President of another country for his own political purposes, this Senate impeachment trial is being rigged by the President through Mitch McConnell. https://t.co/yMtZvPDr8G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

One of the few things that the American people can count on from the reckless Trump administration is prioritizing corporations above all else. Today’s weakening of #NEPA is yet another handout to special interests at the expense of our environment, public health and communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Once again, @realDonaldTrump’s lack of impulse control and inability to plan ahead has created an international crisis that requires a diplomatic response. Congress needs to assert our constitutional authority to ensure we do not engage in war with Iran. https://t.co/vRU6ti1OuH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

This is a perilous situation. We face a clear choice of war or diplomacy. @realDonaldTrump’s lack of impulse control makes it imperative that Congress reassert its Constitutional authority to prevent an unauthorized war with Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

.@realDonaldTrump has appointed 187 judges to the federal bench – that includes 1 in 4 circuit court judges and two Supreme Court seats. And he’s racing to add more to serve for life in our courts to continue his legacy for decades even while under the cloud of impeachment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Trump administration has proven that they have no clear end game with the ongoing chaos in the Middle East. Instead of working to deescalate tension, @realDonaldTrump would rather stoke them. How is our country supposed to rely on this administration? https://t.co/XXHWt60k4w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Congress must reassert its Constitutional responsibility and demand the president seek authorization prior to any military conflict with Iran. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

In normal times, we could have confidence that the President – fully cognizant of the potential ramifications of this strike – was mobilizing a whole of government response and coordinating with our allies to seek a diplomatic outcome. But these are not normal times. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

His death in a U.S. airstrike further escalates hostilities and increases the potential for widespread violence in a part of the world already fraught with peril. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Gen. Soleimani was a reprehensible figure responsible for the deaths of hundreds of American service members and thousands of innocent people around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

.@repjohnlewis, as you undergo treatment for your cancer, I join your legions of friends and supporters in keeping you in our prayers. Your fighting spirit remains strong as you do what you’ve always done — keep fighting. We love you, John. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

My thoughts are on Kauai today with the families and loved ones of those who tragically lost their lives in a helicopter crash. Mahalo to our county, state, and federal first responders for their coordinated efforts in difficult weather conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

From our ohana to yours, Mele Kalikimaka to all who celebrate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

RT @KHONnews: President Trump signs @MazieHirono backed improvements to federal contracting and research programs for Hawaii small business… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

.@realDonaldTrump has yet again attacked access to reproductive health care by putting arbitrary requirements on health plans that cover abortion. The bottom line is this administration continues to restrict women's access to their constitutionally protected right to abortion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Republicans continue to come up with any argument they can think of, but none of them can think of anything to actually defend what @realDonaldTrump did. Good grief. https://t.co/C2WiLq58F6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The fact is @realDonaldTrump shook down the Ukrainian President for his personal, political gain with a taxpayer-funded bribe. He has yet to present a defense, which leaves us with the overwhelming evidence that he committed impeachable offenses. https://t.co/chBiJlLunZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

You don’t have to read all 98 pages of the decision to know that this is part of Republicans’ continuing attack on the health care of tens of millions of Americans including people like you and me living with pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Two weeks ago, an active shooter tragically took the lives of Roldan Agustin and Vincent Kapoi Jr. at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. In recognition of their service and in keeping with the words of their families – join me in honoring the lives of those we lost. https://t.co/Ke8mNqUdAO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

If there’s anybody desperate to hide the truth, it’s Mitch McConnell. The evidence of @realDonaldTrump’s abuse of power and obstruction has been overwhelming so far. Mulvaney and Bolton could shed more light on what he did. If the President has a defense, he should present it. https://t.co/gO4uxUXpkj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today, IG Horowitz repeatedly made clear he found no political bias in the FBI's decision to investigate the Trump campaign. AG Barr's TV claims suggesting otherwise doesn't stand up to the IG's 400+ page report. https://t.co/imZAEk6qd7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Lawrence VanDyke opposes common sense gun reform like universal background checks. He’s against restrictions on where people can carry concealed weapons. He was even against a ban on semi-automatic weapons after the Sandy Hook tragedy. I voted no on his nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Over 19 months, talking to 100+ witnesses, and reviewing a million docs – IG Horowitz found the investigation into @realDonaldTrump had no political motive. And yet AG Barr took the astonishing position of disagreeing with his own agency and throwing the IG and FBI under the bus. https://t.co/zmBkMPX4de — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We have a President who thinks that he can get away with anything including shooting somebody on 5th Avenue. Shaking down the president of another country for his own political ends is nothing to him. We have to hold @realDonaldTrump accountable for his actions. https://t.co/VNgl2rBJrE — PolitiTweet.org
