Donald Trump said he doesn’t think much about Americans’ finances. While he wages a war of choice in Iran, pushes a billion-dollar slush fund for his buddies, and fights for a royal ballroom in the White House, families in Hawaiʻi are being forced to make impossible choices.

Today, I took to the Floor to honor my late friend Doug LaMalfa and urge passage of The Doug LaMalfa Federal Disaster Tax Relief Certainty Act.

Grateful for the chance to talk story with students from the University of Hawaiʻi West Oʻahu and Leeward Community College during a shadow hearing.

As America approaches its 250th, we have a choice to make — will we be real patriots and fight to ensure that ALL our collective stories, from slavery, to the internment of the Japanese during WWII, to the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian kingdom, will remain a part of our country's history?

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.

Special mahalo to Sheri Daniels of Papa Ola Lōkahi for making her way out to DC to speak with our CAPAC ʻohana about the growing threats to Native Hawaiian trust responsibilities, entitlements, and programs, and why this moment calls for all of us to stay engaged, informed, and ready.

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.

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.

CJ McCollum on Jonathan Kuminga: “He has championship DNA coming from the Warriors. The athleticism is off the charts. He’s got a mid-range. He knows how to post up, screen, and defensively, he can guard 1-5. He was in a not so great situation and now he's found a happy home.”
