    Proud to stand with my colleagues today to see the first step in stopping the rise in anti-Asian hate crimes signed into law.   Mahalo to and for your support of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. Hate has no place in our country.

    This is rich coming from someone rushed onto the Supreme Court to overturn Roe, and now she essentially has done so.

    Today we mark twenty years since 9/11, a dark day for our nation. As we mourn the tragic loss that so many families and communities experienced, we will never forget the bravery and sacrifice of those who rushed to respond.

    Given the recent events in Afghanistan, it’s more important than ever to connect with your veteran friends and family and let them know that you’re there for them and that help is available.

    Today is . I encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out and ask for support – know that you are not alone. This is especially true for our nation’s veterans, who commit suicide at 1.5x the rate of non-veteran adults in the US.

    Tonight, I am announcing a new plan to combat COVID-19, building on our whole-of-government approach. The plan will get more people vaccinated, decrease hospitalizations and deaths, and keep our schools and our economy open.

    Voting rights, abortion rights--what's next on Texas legislators' constitutional hit list? In suing Texas, we finally have an Attorney General who protects our constitutional rights and the rule of law. But make no mistake: collective action is needed to defend our rights.

    Today, as we celebrate Labor Day, I am particularly thankful for Hawaii’s rich tradition of organized labor. We must continue our fight for livable wages, worker protections and so much more. Stay safe everyone.

    The Supreme Court's abuse of power in using the shadow docket to in effect end Roe is one in a series of rulings from right-wing, activist justices. We need court reform.

    Mahalo to for stepping up and representing Hawaii well by joining the Civil Reserve Air Fleet to help relocate our Afghan allies and their families across the United States. This is the aloha spirit in action.

    I don't want to hear any more lectures from Republicans about 'activist judges.' From Citizens United to Shelby County to Janus to this case, so-called “conservative” justices have no trouble overturning precedent when it's something they don't agree with.

    We must respond to this ruling at every level, including filibuster reform, codifying Roe, court reform, voting in elections, and individual state efforts to protect a woman's right to choose. This ruling requires action from all of us.

    Battles won don’t stay won. Decades of Roe precedent torched by activist right-wing justices. Women across the country were being gaslighted into thinking their fears were unfounded. They were not. Women’s rights are under attack.

    By deputizing anti-abortion activists as bounty hunters, Texas Republicans have in effect banned abortion in Texas. The Supreme Court just gave the green light to this law, fulfilling a decades-long Republican quest to control women's bodies. Fight back.

    Private individuals in Texas can now sue anyone who performs or aids banned abortions, including doctors and even an Uber driver taking a patient to an abortion clinic. Plaintiffs, who need not have any connection to the matter, can win $10,000 in damages.

    That abortion case you think the Supreme Court will use to take down Roe next year? It might not matter. The Court can end abortion rights tonight, without any oral arguments. They're hoping we don't notice.

    There is a good chance we will wake up tomorrow to the headline "Supreme Court Lets Texas' Six-Week Abortion Ban Take Effect," but almost everyone is sleeping on it today.

    Our military deserves our gratitude for their tremendous effort in evacuating more than 122,000 people from Afghanistan in just a few weeks. After the deadline, we need to use diplomatic, economic and other means to evacuate remaining U.S. citizens, Afghan partners, and others.

    This ultraconservative Supreme Court ruling has direct and devastating consequences for millions of Americans, including Hawaii residents. I have heard firsthand from families worried about being evicted. Congress must swiftly act to address this imminent crisis.

    The Supreme Court is forcing the Biden Administration to reinstate a cruel, inhumane mockery of asylum law championed by Donald Trump. Remain in Mexico subjected thousands of vulnerable migrants to kidnappings, murders, and other horrifying crimes. This must stop.

    Breaking News: The Supreme Court refused to block a ruling that would require reinstatement of a Trump-era policy forcing some asylum seekers to await approval in Mexico.
