I sent a letter to the FDA urging them to quickly resolve the baby formula crisis and develop a plan to prevent this from happening again.   Families rely on access to safe, affordable formula and millions across the country are suffering from this shortage. — PolitiTweet.org

This soon to be decision will give free reign to dozens of states led by Republican legislatures and Republican governors to outlaw and criminalize abortions. This fight is not over. FULL STATEMENT: https://t.co/odey7uLr0d — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It is deeply upsetting, but not surprising, that my Republican colleagues voted to allow the government to control a woman’s body. As a result, when this radical right-wing Supreme Court overturns Roe—women across the country will wake up & no longer have reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today’s vote is about who should have control over a woman’s body… Women or the government? #WHPA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

In 2019, AANHPIs had the lowest rate of mental health treatment of any racial or ethnic population. As we mark AANHPI #MentalHealthDay, I'm working to break down barriers that prevent too many members of our community from receiving the care they need and deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Women have had the right to abortion for nearly 50 years. Now, the GOP is preparing to make it a crime for us to control our own bodies. This is an urgent fight for our fundamental human rights. https://t.co/qBX9gEIBEi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Women’s Health Protection Act doesn’t force anyone to do anything. It simply codifies the right to safe, legal abortion that women in this country have relied on for nearly 50 years. I’ll be voting yes on WHPA tomorrow. Anyone who claims to support women should do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The anti-trans law that went into effect in Alabama yesterday is a deplorable violation of fundamental rights.   To the trans community: This is not over - we will continue to fight for a future where you can live freely, without fear of persecution, as your authentic selves. — PolitiTweet.org

As a UH Manoa alum, I'd like to congratulate @HawaiiMensVB for bringing home their second consecutive NCAA championship title. You make Hawaii proud! #GoBows 🌈 — PolitiTweet.org

Child care professionals do critical work helping our children develop skills to succeed in school and life.   As we celebrate child care #ProviderAppreciationDay, it's time we pay child care providers as the skilled professionals they are. #ThankYouChildCare — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Nurses provide care and comfort in some of our most challenging moments. Over the last two years, they’ve gone above and beyond in the face of a deadly pandemic. On #NationalNursesDay, and every day, I’m grateful for everything Hawaii’s nurses do to care for our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

In Hawaii, 64 percent of trafficking survivors and 1 out of every 3 reported child sex trafficking victims is Native Hawaiian. This is a crisis, and we must do everything we can to end these horrific acts of violence and protect Indigenous communities. #RedDressDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today, on #MMIP Awareness Day, we mourn the countless victims who have lost their lives or been stolen from their communities. We stand in solidarity with their families as we work to shed light on the horrible crimes committed against Indigenous communities across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t think of a single comparable thing that the government can do to men that even comes close to forcing a woman to have a child. Can you? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

So let me get this straight, some of my Republican colleagues are “considering” policies to support women… …but only if they force them to have children first? https://t.co/CoBAgpHquk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Thank you to all the activists, advocates, and people across our country who continue to show up to defend the right to safe, legal abortion for all. With other constitutional rights on the line, everyone must fight back. https://t.co/1Hek8ZS0nh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today is #AANHPIEqualPay Day. AANHPI women make just 75 cents for every dollar their white male counterparts make. For Native Hawaiian women, the gap is even worse. It's past time to close the wage gap and make sure AANHPI women are paid what they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

As far as I’m concerned, anybody in this country who cares about our civil rights and our constitutional rights should be very, very concerned about this draft opinion And what this Court is prepared to do. https://t.co/HFKzIrhllK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

My Republican colleagues are “stunned” about this leak. What BS. What’s stunning is that the Supreme Court is ready to reverse 50 years of precedent and take away a woman’s right to control her own body. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Women in this country will soon wake up and realize they no longer have control over their own bodies. Alito’s fervent wish is about to come true, thanks to the Trump Justices. Republicans have sabotaged the Court—and women across the country are about to pay the price. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The last two years have been incredibly challenging for parents, students and educators. But through it all, our teachers have found new ways to teach, inspire, and enlighten young people.   As we begin #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I'm grateful for everything Hawaii’s teachers do. https://t.co/HdTWNix6Sq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Trump’s harmful public charge rule was a clear attack on immigrants. I led a group of Senators in supporting the Biden Administration's updated public charge rule & urging @DHSgov to go even further to better support immigrants seeking permanent residency. https://t.co/8Cs54CvQr8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Republicans are once again trying to undermine the #TitleX program, which helps patients access essential health care like: 💊Birth control 🩺STI testing and treatment 🥼Cancer detection screenings Today, I'm voting to block this attack on our health care and our bodies. https://t.co/boH8EvZswM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Across our country, fundamental reproductive freedoms are under assault. We can't afford to wait any longer. Now is the time to codify Roe v. Wade – before it's too late. https://t.co/RaI3E66yqD — PolitiTweet.org

Over 10% of adults in Hawaii have diabetes—the numbers are even higher for Native Hawaiians. As pharma companies rake in record profits, more & more families can't afford life-saving insulin. That's not right. We must cap insulin costs at $35 a month. https://t.co/vKaAsLoaje — PolitiTweet.org

The Merrie Monarch Festival is a wonderful celebration of Hawaii’s unique history, culture, and talent.   After two years without the Merrie Monarch Festival, it was great to see it back in action and to meet so many talented artists & craftspeople from across Hawaii last week. https://t.co/Sje0phO2GE — PolitiTweet.org
