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

Congratulations to Hawaii’s own @RemiMYamamoto and @michaelkikukawa and for your new communications jobs in the Biden-Harris White House! I know you will bring the Aloha Spirit to your new roles and continue to make Hawaii proud. — 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. We have do our part—wear a mask, wash your hands, stay socially distanced. https://t.co/imovujJ5cU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

The VA should thoroughly and fairly investigate all allegations of sexual assault. Instead, Secretary Wilkie sought to undermine the alleged victim’s credibility. He must resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

After repeatedly disgracing his office by acting as Donald Trump's political lackey, Bill Barr finally resigns. Should have happened a long time ago. 37 days before the rest of the Trump suck-ups go too. — PolitiTweet.org

I plan to get vaccinated on a timeline determined by the State of Hawaii and based on the recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to ensure equitable distribution. I encourage every Hawaii resident and American to do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

We expect the first doses of this vaccine to be distributed in the coming days, beginning with frontline health care workers and our kupuna living in elder care facilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

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

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Today’s announcement is a long-awaited milestone in our nation’s fight against #COVID19, and I commend the many people in government and the private sector whose dedication, professionalism, and ingenuity made this achievement possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Julie Su represents the best of what this country can be. Her clear record of achievement, innovation, and leadership would be a significant advantage to the Department of Labor. She would be an invaluable addition to @JoeBiden's cabinet. https://t.co/Xw01FBa7TH — PolitiTweet.org

As COVID-19 surges across the country, we're seeing unemployment claims rise again. It's more critical than ever that the COVID relief bill includes an extension to CARES unemployment programs—programs that help real everyday Americans, not millionaires. https://t.co/dbHmOoeSgK — PolitiTweet.org
