Funds from @SBAgov STEP have helped Hawaii's small businesses expand into overseas markets, creating hundreds of jobs across the state and generating over $80 million in new exports over the last decade. I’ll keep supporting local small businesses and the workers who power them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Proud to announce the Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism is set to receive $500,000 from @SBAgov's State Trade Expansion Program (STEP) to help local small businesses and entrepreneurs expand into overseas markets and create new jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Grateful @DHSgov replaced Trump's xenophobic rule that prevented immigrants from accessing benefits they're entitled to and created a climate of fear. Immigrants make our country stronger and I'll always work to ensure they're treated with dignity and respect. #ProtectFamilies — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We trust veterans to risk their lives in combat, and we should trust that they can make decisions about their bodies and health care. But Republicans want to stop the VA from providing life-saving medical services from heroes who have served this country. https://t.co/aNE5xoDaxD — PolitiTweet.org

Immigrants make our nation stronger, and I will continue to fight to ensure they are welcomed into this country and treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The former President made it much more difficult for hard-working immigrants, including those with U.S. citizen children, to enter the country or become lawful permanent residents. I applaud @SecMayorkas and @POTUS for reversing this discriminatory and deeply harmful rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

As a Member of the Armed Services Committee, I’ll continue working with our Congressional delegation and the federal government to ensure this process continues moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We all share one goal—safely defueling and permanently closing the Red Hill facility as quickly as possible and I expect this plan to get us closer to that important goal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

This Commander should be a leader who is committed to transparency, collaboration, and garnering community trust to get the job done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I’ve urged DOD to quickly name a Commander for the Task Force who will be responsible for Red Hill’s closure to ensure all components of the defueling process move forward in a timely manner. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

This updated plan should continue to prioritize safety, while streamlining certain processes to allow for a faster defueling timeline. While we await the Department of Health’s review, it’s important that DOD continues laying the groundwork for successful defueling and closure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The @DeptofDefense has updated its plan for the defueling and closure of Red Hill, and added additional information in response to feedback from state, local, and community leaders. 🧵 https://t.co/UxIExAo3SL — PolitiTweet.org

For more than 70 years, Queen Elizabeth II led with grace and grit as one of the most influential women in the world. I'm sending my condolences to the Royal family and all those in the United Kingdom and around the world mourning her passing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Far-right Republicans have already signaled they’re working to put a stop to the @DeptVetAffairs’ landmark decision last week to provide abortion care to veterans. Tune in to hear @PattyMurray, @SenWarren, @SenDuckworth, and I stand up for veterans across the country. ⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today, I’m joining @PattyMurray, @SenatorWarren, and @SenDuckworth to speak about the VA’s decision to provide abortion services to veterans. Veterans dedicate their lives to serving our nation. They deserve to have access to the health care they need, including abortion care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Hundreds of thousands of women veterans live in states that have or are likely to ban abortions. I'm glad @DeptVetAffairs heeded my calls to ensure veterans can access abortion care, but the VA must do more and provide these services to all veterans, regardless of circumstances. https://t.co/YBnC2gg5qf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

This #LaborDay, let's not forget that unions built the middle class in this country. Workers keep our communities and economy running and deserve safe working conditions and livable wages. I’ll keep working to pass the PRO Act to protect and strengthen workers’ rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Inflation Reduction Act caps the cost of insulin at $35 a month for Medicare recipients. Democrats worked to cap the cost of insulin at $35 a month for everyone in America, but Republicans blocked us. Who are they working for— their constituents or Big Pharma? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Overturning #Roe created confusion across the nation. Abortion remains legal in Hawaii. If you have questions about abortion in the state, check out Hawaii Abortion Collective’s resource of information on abortion rights and services across the islands. https://t.co/pmGRQNKSEG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Because of Senate Republicans, billionaire corporations like Amazon have been able to pay $0 in taxes. Democrats know that’s wrong. That’s why we passed Inflation Reduction Act, so they have to start paying their fair share like everybody else. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It's been two months since the extreme-right Supreme Court overturned #Roe and anti-abortion lawmakers have been working hard to ban abortion nationwide on all levels. We have to continue fighting and doing everything we can to protect fundamental reproductive rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Glad to see the @DeptVetAffairs quickly heeding the calls @SenWarren and I led to offer abortion services to veterans. This is an important first step. The VA must go further and provide these services to all veterans, regardless of circumstances. https://t.co/CTdTiU768z — PolitiTweet.org

It's exciting to see @usmint's commemorative quarter design for Edith Kanaka`ole. She gave so much to Hawaii and it's fitting that she be honored with this special recognition. I'm looking forward to seeing these quarters put into circulation next year. https://t.co/D6a2EKjP7v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women earned an average of about 60 cents for every dollar earned by white men for the same work in 2020. It's 2022. The gender pay gap needs to end. We need to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to ensure equal pay for equal work. #NHPIEqualPay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It’s expensive to live in Hawaii. When I voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, I was thinking about everyone across the state who would benefit from the law by saving money on their energy and health care bills. I'll always work to help ease costs for the people of Hawaii. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Inflation Reduction Act is the most aggressive step towards tackling climate change and promoting America’s sustainable future. This law invests in clean-energy solutions that will dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions while creating millions of jobs across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Edith Kanaka`ole was a leader in revitalizing Hawaiian language and culture, and her legacy still serves as a catalyst for Hawaiian knowledge today. I’m excited to see the design for her commemorative quarter, and I look forward to seeing these quarters put into circulation. https://t.co/ETyLTR319l — PolitiTweet.org

While Republicans work to strip away reproductive rights, Democrats are fighting for everyone across the country to have access to the critical reproductive services they need. I will always fight for this fundamental right. — PolitiTweet.org
