I oppose her nomination and will fight to deny her a lifetime position on the United States Supreme Court, and in doing so, will tell the American people the danger she poses to hard-won rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Barrett has an ideological agenda she won’t acknowledge and an expressed willingness to overturn Supreme Court precedent. Her agenda poses a direct threat to health care, a woman’s right to control her body, the rights of LGBTQ Americans, and other individual and civil rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Senate Republicans have gone back on their word about confirming a Supreme Court justice in an election year and disrespected the final, fervent wish of Justice Ginsburg to not be replaced until a new president is installed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

She has a long history of being anti-choice and an explicit willingness to reverse SC precedent – endangering the protections of Roe v Wade. A woman’s right to control her own body is at stake. The president expects her to support any challenge he mounts to the election results. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

She will vote to strike down the Affordable Care Act after being rushed on the Supreme Court in time to hear the case on November 10. Millions of Americans will lose their health care – catastrophic in the middle of a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I will not support the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court for the following reasons: — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: The 2020 Census has been extended through October 31 nationwide, blocking @realDonaldTrump’s decision for now. Census data = funding for community programs and more. #BeCounted. If you haven’t filled out your census, you still have time! Visit https://t.co/25wDWnmlQj. — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump is one of the biggest culprits in spreading misinformation on social media. Now that platforms have finally grown a spine and started to fact check and take down these lies, here comes Attorney General Bill Barr to bully platforms into stopping their efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

The new Supreme Court nominee will be put in place just in time to rip healthcare from millions. This is neither hyperbole nor an exaggeration. On 11/10, the Court will hear the latest challenge to the ACA. And @realDonaldTrump is determined for the Court to strike it down. https://t.co/1tUL8K9pZW — PolitiTweet.org

The American people need to know what’s at stake: Republicans are racing to put a justice on the Supreme Court who will wipe out your health care – while we’re still in a pandemic. And that’s just the start. Read more here. https://t.co/vyFGaBZWqt #CapturedCourts — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

While discussing climate change, @SecBrouillette said “Scientists say a lot of things. I have scientists inside of the Department of Energy that say a lot of things.” The fossil fuel industry also says a lot of things. Yet, you choose to believe them over your own scientists. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

How can you trust those who don’t keep their word? While Republicans try to steal yet another seat, the millions who revered Justice Ginsburg aren't going to sit by and do nothing. They're going to fight back and I’m going to be fighting alongside them. https://t.co/Ejmb5Z2jyY — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone who's tested positive for COVID-19? That's a pre-existing condition—one that won't be protected if @realDonaldTrump's nominee is confirmed to the Supreme Court. And it's not just them. Millions will be left without health care without the ACA. That's what's at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

I have a very simple message for Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell tonight. The best and only way to honor the life’s work of Justice Ginsburg, a giant of a jurist, is to honor her fervent final wish that she not be replaced until a new president is installed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a giant. There are literally not enough words to describe the transformational impact she had on the lives of millions of Americans as an advocate and a jurist. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump admin has been trying to discredit scientists since Day 1. They’ve worked hard to suppress career employees and insert politics at every turn, diminishing public trust. It's happened time and time again. It's not ok. Lives are at risk. We cannot become complacent. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Nothing fazes Bill Barr as he spews his pro-Trump nonsense – not the truth, not the rule of law, and not the lives of American people during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Vanessa Guillen fought for our country and now it’s time for us to fight for her. The #IAmVanessaGuillen Act will overhaul how the military investigates sexual harassment and sexual assault so our service members get the justice they deserve. It’s time for Congress to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Everything @realDonaldTrump says is either a total exaggeration or an outright lie. Health care has always been an issue for our country, but now it’s more crucial than ever that people have the care they need. But what is the President doing about it? Nothing. Zero. Nada. Nil. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

Worth repeating: @realDonaldTrump only cares about himself. He’s spent the past 4 years packing the courts with judges who think the way he does. This time, a Trump judge is putting the health and safety of Americans at risk, furthering the president’s agenda. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

It’s like this administration’s checklist for new officials is: ✅Connections to @HeartlandInst or fossil fuel industry ✅Spread crazy ideas that aren't based on science ✅Cause chaos wherever you go ✅Diminish public trust in the agency — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Mazie Hirono @maziehirono

As we mark the 26th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act during the pandemic, we see how important it is to have resources for survivors and those at risk of domestic violence and sexual assault. Yet, Mitch McConnell continues stands in the way of VAWA re-authorization. — PolitiTweet.org
