Mahalo to folks at Ka Paʻalana Māʻili and Tūtū and Me Hānapepe for welcoming me. It was truly meaningful to spend time with the parents, caregivers, educators, staff, and keiki who make these early learning sites so special. Every dollar invested in our keiki is an investment in our future.

Today, I voted to protect Hawaiʻi families from skyrocketing health costs. Without these premium tax credits, families face impossible choices & hospitals risk closure. Now, Congress is closer to protecting protecting affordable coverage & stabilizing rural health systems.

On my 3rd visit to the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu, I spoke with correctional staff and personnel before spending several hours with nearly two dozen detainees to hear directly about their experiences and needs, including access to attorneys and interpreters or simply having someone listen.

I asked Secretary Hegseth a simple question: if President Trump ordered him to send troops to polling places in violation of federal law, would he follow the President or the Constitution? He didn’t answer.

Mahalo to Joey Cadiz from Laulau Solutions and to our farmers in Kahuku and Lāʻie for walking us through the devastation left by the Kona Low storms, from lost crops and equipment to fields still flooded & loʻi needing restoration.

My message after tonight’s State of the Union address.

Happy to speak at the Pacific International Center for High Technology Research about the importance of fostering strong, lasting partnerships with other nations.

I offered my bill, the Tariff Free Farming Act to eliminate tariffs on agricultural supplies, as an amendment in the Farm Bill. In 2025, Trump's tariffs costs farmers more than $8 billion. That's an $8 billion tax on on the people who grow the food, fuel, and fiber this country runs on.

Farm Bill markup is officially underway. I’ve heard directly from our farmers and our families in every county, and I know what matters to them. Our farmers are struggling to stay afloat. Families are going hungry. Kids don’t have reliable access to food.

We saw aloha in action in the aftermath of the Kona Lows: neighbors stepping up for neighbors, no one waiting to be asked. That is who we are. Now we must match that same spirit with action.

Watch this UT Austin student's heartbreaking eulogy for her university during a mock funeral to protest the school's 'death by a thousand cuts.' "I will spend the rest of my entire life mourning the home that this place stole from me."

Midwifery has existed in legal grey zones across North America for decades. Ontario legalized it in 1994; PEI was last in 2024. On (MIS)Treated, @namshine.bsky.social talks about the @tvodocs.bsky.social documentary “The Delivery Line” and what midwifery looks like in conflict zones.

New Banksy sculpture just showed up in the center of London. Depicts a man very similar to a certain felon blinded by the flag he's carrying.
