My friend John Lewis was a tireless champion for justice & civil rights in our country. He would be horrified by Republicans' attacks on our democracy & the rights he fought to secure. But he wouldn't stop fighting. The best way to honor his legacy? Making our own Good Trouble.

What happened at today’s Judicial hearing was completely unacceptable. Republicans are blatantly throwing committee rules and precedents out the window to push through dangerous nominees, simply because Trump wants them to. It’s outrageous.

Once again, Trump is abandoning rural America. The USDA is gutting a program that supports thousands of farm & food businesses, a lifeline for many farmers & communities. Listen to his actions, not his words. He doesn't care about you. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...
US farm agency ends program to support small businesses
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Tuesday it would cut funding for a national network of centers that have supported thousands of small- and mid-sized farm and food businesses.

Republicans are trying to rescind funding for NPR and PBS stations that millions of Americans rely on for free, local, and sometimes life-saving news. Cutting access to critical information, educational programming, and other resources, this package would abandon the American public.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 15(source)
SCOTUS just gave Trump the green light to go even further in his all-out assault on public education. Without explaining its decision, the Court ok’d Trump firing half the staff at @usedgov.bsky.social - gutting the department responsible for ensuring every kid can get a quality education.

Trump's rescissions package is another attempt to institutionalize his cruelty in the name of improving "government efficiency." His cuts to foreign aid will result in preventable deaths, abandon allies & partners, and further unravel global health, stability, & U.S. leadership.

Trump is withholding BILLIONS in education funding, including $30 million for Hawaii. Every state is impacted. Afterschool programs, student enrichment programs, & many others could close. Trump must reverse course or students will pay the price. learningpolicyinstitute.org/blog/states-...
States Face Uncertainty as an Estimated $6.2 Billion in K–12 Funding Remains Unreleased: Here’s the Fiscal Impact by State

Over the next few years, millions of people will be stripped of their health care. Don't be fooled, this is Republicans' doing. From higher insurance premiums, to rural hospital closures, this bill will hurt EVERYONE, not just those on Medicaid.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 9(source)
Whether it pays for urgent doctors visits or Grandma's nursing home, Medicaid is a lifeline for many. Trump's Big Ugly Bill will put American lives at stake. It's time to wake up and smell the fresh, Republican betrayal.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 8(source)
Republicans' tax bill will hurt millions of hardworking Americans, limiting access to health care and food, weakening public schools, raising energy costs, and more. Disgraceful. The fight isn't over and Democrats will fight like hell to protect our communities.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 7(source)
Millions of people will lose their health insurance. Rural hospitals will close. Families will lose access to SNAP benefits. Electric bills and health care costs will go up. People will lose their jobs. This will be Republicans' legacy.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 4(source)
On this Independence Day, we reaffirm our commitment to protecting our democracy and hard-won freedoms. American independence means no kings, power that belong to the people, and freedom for all.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 3(source)
From threatening denaturalization, to praising a detention center nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz," Trump continues to dehumanize the immigrant community, stoking hate and threatening lives. Evil and sickening.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 3(source)
The House just passed this disgrace of a bill. Republicans are selling out their constituents to do Donald Trump's bidding. Don't be fooled. This bill was passed with the wealthy in mind, and the wealthy only.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 3(source)
Republicans are boasting that they're keeping promises to Americans by passing this bill. It seems they MUST have promised to rip away health care, slash jobs, eliminate energy savings, hike health care premiums, cut SNAP benefits, and weaken public schools, right? ...right?
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJul 2(source)
Yet another attack on our students and the rule of law. All the while, Republicans are also working to advance a bill that would further undermine public education. Trump's priority is the wealthy, and millions of students will suffer because of it.

The Trump administration declined to release nearly $7 billion in school funding that helps pay for after-school programs and other services. https://trib.al/CIBxpaX

Republicans are trying to create a "stabilization fund" for rural hospitals to counteract the devastating cuts to Medicaid in their tax bill. Let’s be clear, they're trying to solve a problem they’re creating.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJun 25(source)
We shouldn't even be considering Emil Bove's nomination to serve as a federal judge. Bove oversaw prosecutors who withheld documents, advocated for disregarding court orders, and has a record of abusive management—he is unfit to serve or to supervise.
Senator Mazie K. Hirono@hirono.senate.govJun 25(source)
As AI usage surges & summer heat intensifies, demand for energy is going up... & so are energy bills. Clean energy = cheap energy, but Trump’s Department of Energy budget guts clean energy investments. When Republicans cut renewable energy projects, American families suffer.
