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

Grateful to community leaders like Uncle Chevy for taking me around Pa’akea Road so we could see first hand where the hardest hit areas were and the debris and flooding that remain months after the Kona lows.

For our ʻohana and communities impacted by flooding—please know you’re not alone. My office has gathered resources to help with immediate safety, recovery, and financial assistance for families, small businesses, and those navigating next steps after the storm.

Today marks five years since January 6, the insurrection at the Capitol. No amount of propaganda can erase the truth: our democracy endured because of the bravery of Capitol Police and law enforcement who sacrificed so much to protect it. We honor them, today and always. Mahalo.

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.

In Hawaiʻi, a small loaf of bread now costs $8. Families are struggling just to put food on the table. 🧵

Mahalo to the hardworking team at Kauaʻi Coffee for having me back as they continue navigating uncertainty around lease negotiations, tariffs, and the future of Hawaiʻi-grown coffee.

From poisoned drinking water to the long history of land taken after the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, communities across our islands have real reasons to demand accountability from the military.

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.

#Habs MSL on Kirby Dach "His competitiveness, his commitment… he has come up with important goals for us. Even though we weren't able to score a third or fourth one (in game 1), his second goal helped us get going again and gain some momentum. I find that Kirby helps us with momentum." #GoHabsGo

I welcome yesterday's announcement that the Ethics & Integrity Commission will conduct a review into reforms to strengthen our democracy, including overdue tightening of lobbying rules. This is something I have advocated for over many years in light of the Greensill/David Cameron scandal and others.

Yes. I do practice what I preach for hurricane preparedness. Testing the generator was the last item on my prep list. Are you ready? Hurricane season starts June 1. Don’t wait until a storm is brewing!

Some seasons feel quieter… If you’ve been carrying a lot on your own, it can start to feel like you’ve been forgotten. But that feeling isn’t the truth. You’re not forgotten, you’re in a season that’s asking more of you right now. #mentalhealthrecovery #healing #loneliness

The Office of Personnel Management says the federal workforce is “leaner and more effective.” What they do not say is who pays the price. In NY-23, Social Security, veterans' care, and basic services are lifelines. Cut staff. Call it efficiency. Ignore the human cost.
