Senator Mazie K. Hirono

An estimated 93,000 will die a premature death due to the loss of SNAP between now and 2039.    The ‘Make America Healthy Again’ party would rather people sink deeper into poverty and food insecurity than get the essential assistance they need to buy groceries.

Clue: Which U.S. Senator is a huge fan of Jeopardy and Hawaii history?   Who is... Me!   Thanks, @Jeopardy for including me on Sunday’s show!

Take it from over 1,000 health care professionals: RFK Jr. is a threat to your health, your family's health, and the health of our country.  Innocent people will die at the hands of his incompetence. He must resign. www.axios.com/2025/09/03/r...

Instead of improving access to education for students in our country, this regime would rather pit minority students and institutions against one another. Racist. Illegal. Sick. theemancipator.org/2026/09/28/n...

This just confirms what we already knew. Republicans' Private School Voucher Program helps wealthy families, private schools, and unaccountable SGOs, while governors who “opt in” have no control over the program, but all the responsibility for cleaning up the mess. Ridiculous.

This September marked the second official Hawaiian History Month! A time to celebrate Hawaii's rich history and recognize the immeasurable contributions Native Hawaiians have made — and continue to make — to perpetuate Hawaiian culture both in our beautiful state and across the nation.

Donald Trump's delaying tactics kept Jack Smith from presenting his case to a jury, but that doesn't change the facts. Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and committed a series of crimes in an attempt to keep power.

My Republican colleagues asking Jack Smith about weaponization is rich... Trump's lackeys wrote the book on it.

Republicans' National Private School Voucher Program doesn't give families a choice. It gives private schools and unaccountable SGOs the choice instead. We need to pass the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act and keep public tax dollars where they belong: in our public schools.

If you need help with crop damage assistance, debris removal, or anything in between following Hurricane Lowell, USDA has programs to support Hawaii's farmers and ranchers as we recover. Sign up and get more information here: farmers.gov

$44 BILLION. $44 BILLION in taxpayer dollars that could've gone towards our public schools, towards improving roads, towards lowering your health care costs... $44,000,000,000 that Trump has spent on his illegal war of choice instead. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

If it censors the press like a regime, and undermines constitutional rights like a regime… It’s a regime. apnews.com/article/trum...
