Judge Jackson is exactly the kind of judge and individual we need on the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court will be better-off with the addition of her experience, evenhandedness, integrity, and humanity. — PolitiTweet.org

Edith Kanaka'ole was a prominent leader in the revitalization of Hawaiian language and culture—notably as a renowned kumu hula. I urged the @USTreasury and @USMint to honor her life and legacy through the American Women Quarters Program, which will happen in 2023. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the progress we’ve made, trans people, particularly trans people of color, continue to face discrimination and attacks. This #TransDayOfVisibility and always, I stand in solidarity with all trans people and will keep fighting for their freedom to live authentically. — PolitiTweet.org

With the highest energy costs of any state, it's always been a burden for families with low incomes in Hawaii to keep their homes comfortable & safe. But some relief is on the way. Hawaii will receive $3.6 million to help families lower their energy costs & reduce emissions. https://t.co/SbRNgovEx5 — PolitiTweet.org

Over decades of conflict, millions of service members have been exposed to burn pits & other toxic materials. We have an obligation to make sure they get the care they need. As a member of @SVACDems, I'm working to find a solution as quickly as possible. https://t.co/KCUJHdqzJ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I was moved by Judge Jackson's story of a Black woman at Harvard who inspired her with one word: Persevere. On the Supreme Court, she will be a powerful example of perseverance for all Americans, especially Black women and girls. I look forward to voting yes on her nomination. https://t.co/sOsqIKRDAo — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

More than 100 years after the first federal antilynching bill was introduced, we are finally taking a long-overdue step and recognizing lynching as a federal hate crime. Thank you, @RepBobbyRush and @SenBooker, for your leadership on this important issue. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It would be a glaring conflict of interest for Justice Thomas to decide a case in which his wife is involved. We're calling for him to recuse himself from any cases related to January 6th, and for SCOTUS to finally adopt a code of ethics for its justices. https://t.co/4WQeqeieOq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

At the start of the pandemic, amid school closures & widespread layoffs, Congress created child nutrition waivers to keep children fed. Now the waivers are at risk of expiring, which is why I led the Hawaii delegation in urging @USDA to extend them & keep kids from going hungry. https://t.co/gbGFqLwgzl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The Senate just passed my bill with @SenatorTester, @SenatorCollins, and @JohnBoozman to expand veterans’ access to high-quality breast cancer screening and care. The MAMMO for Veterans Act will help save lives, and I'm pleased it's one step closer to becoming law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

As the first woman to serve as U.S. Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright proudly represented our country as a champion of human rights and democracy. Today, we mourn the loss of this iconic trailblazer and we celebrate the immeasurable contributions she made around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Access to broadband is essential for small businesses in Hawaii to remain competitive. Today, I'm introducing legislation with my colleagues to give @SBAgov the tools they need to prioritize broadband access for small businesses in Hawaii and across America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Instead of perpetuating these unfounded and misleading attacks, let’s work together to crack down on these heinous crimes, starting by passing the EARN It Act to hold platforms liable for spreading child sexual exploitation material. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Republicans’ continuing attempts to portray Judge Jackson as an extremist judge is falling flat. Her sentences for child sexual exploitation offenders are well within the mainstream. In fact, they are on par with the Judges Republicans have praised. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Judge Jackson is exceptionally qualified, fair and impartial and has issued nearly 600 opinions that demonstrate a clear, even-handed approach to the law. It's no surprise that there is broad bipartisan consensus that she is eminently qualified to serve on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Native plants are an important piece of Hawaii’s history, culture, and environment. I introduced a resolution with @senrobportman to designate April as National Native Plants Month and encourage all Americans to protect native plants in their communities. https://t.co/J3cLWutq5f — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

A lot of my Republican colleagues have asked Judge Jackson about dark money today. I believe dark money—on the right or left—is bad for our democracy. And I welcome these Republicans, who claim to care about this issue, to vote for the DISCLOSE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

And it’s about time that Black women and girls across the country can finally see someone who looks like them sitting on the highest court making decisions that will impact their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Let's be clear: Judge Jackson's nomination isn't about filling some quota - it's about time. It's about time we had a highly qualified, highly accomplished Black woman on the Supreme Court. It’s about time our highest court better reflects the country it serves. https://t.co/59sHHJVWAl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

With the personal and professional diversity Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson brings, she will expand the experience and knowledge of the Court and the decisions the Court makes will be better as a result. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Judge Jackson’s life and career have more than prepared her to serve our nation on the highest Court. I’ve enjoyed reviewing her record and getting to know her—and now the American people will get to know her over the course of this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I considered Rep. Don Young a friend and always appreciated working with him to better support Native communities. My deepest sympathies to his wife and ohana. — PolitiTweet.org

During #AmeriCorpsWeek 2022, we recognize and extend a big mahalo to all current and former AmeriCorps members and AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers. Your service has provided hope and help to communities in-need across the country. Keep up the great work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today I met w/ @USTRANSCOM_CDR to discuss her new role as DoD’s Bulk Fuel Manager and options for relocating the strategic fuel reserve from Red Hill. Working together with the @DeptofDefense, @EPA & @HawaiiDOH is essential to protecting our drinking water & national security. — PolitiTweet.org

President Zelenskyy is a profile in courage. I continue to be moved and inspired by his leadership and resolve. The United States will continue to support the brave Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org
