Republicans' nightmare tax bill will explode our country's deficit by trillions in the next decade.
What does this mean for you?
Your home mortgage will spike anywhere between $600 and over $1000 per year.
Still believe Republicans when they say this will lower prices?

Republican Tax Bill Glossary:
"Economic growth": $2.4 trillion increase in deficit over 10 years
"Financial relief": Higher energy bills for families
"U.S. energy dominance": >800,000 jobs threatened in energy sector
Democrats see this bill for what it is.
Surprise, surprise. The GOP tax bill is projected to be one of the biggest transfers of wealth from low-income households to the rich in history.
The rich will get richer on the backs of working families—the same families who will lose access to health care and food stamps.
What Republicans want you to believe: they care about Americans and their big, beautiful bill will lower prices.
Reality: they don't give a rip about working families and this toxic, ugly bill will increase prices and cut jobs.
Senate Democrats are going to fight for you.
Last night, we welcomed more than 1,500 people to the 9th annual Taste of Hawaii on Capitol Hill, where they got to experience the food, music, and aloha that make Hawaii so special.
Mahalo to the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii and all vendors for making this event possible!
Each year, the Hawaii on the Hill Policy Summit brings together Hawaii businessowners and policymakers to discuss issues important to Hawaii.
Mahalo to the Chamber of Commerce Hawaii’s Sherry Menor, Hawaii State Senate President Ron Kouchi, my colleagues, and all attendees for joining us.
Trump is throwing a parade to "honor" the Army, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.
Meanwhile, the GOP tax bill cuts billions from SNAP & Medicaid, affecting millions of veterans and their families.
Ironic, isn't it?
And did I mention the parade is on his birthday?
Glad to kick off the 9th Annual Hawaii on the Hill with a Fireside Chat & Talk Story with Chamber of Commerce Hawaii President and CEO Sherry Menor yesterday.
We discussed everything from policy priorities for Hawaii, to my favorite local foods. Mahalo to all who joined!
Deploying troops in LA is a dangerous escalation designed to incite fear and distract from Republicans' attacks on Medicaid, SNAP, and Americans' pocketbooks.
Trump isn't keeping anyone safe—he's sowing chaos in our communities. We must speak up.
Just like Trump's first travel ban, this isn't about national security, it's about bigotry and prejudice.
If Trump gave a rip about the safety and well-being of the American people, he wouldn't be tearing healthcare, food, and other essentials from those most in need.
The GOP reconciliation bill would cut $300 billion from SNAP, starving millions of families.
This is a matter of life or death for working families. And while billionaires win, the rest of us lose.
Democrats won't stand for this, and neither should Republicans.
Trump just rescinded guidance on hospitals' obligation to provide life-saving care for pregnant patients in medical emergencies.
While EMTALA is still the law of the land, this will sow chaos and endanger the lives of women everywhere.

You know things are bad when even Elon Musk calls the GOP tax bill a 'disgusting abomination'...
Republicans are hell-bent on taking away your health care, raising taxes, cutting access to affordable food, and threatening jobs.
We can’t let them get away with this.
No person in their right mind would chose to take food away from hungry children.
And yet, that's exactly what Republicans are working to do by slashing SNAP. GOP cruelty speaks for itself.
Republican cuts to Medicaid & SNAP will hurt our most vulnerable children.
Children who rely on school lunch to be fed.
Children who take medication to be healthy.
Children who deserve a chance at a happy, healthy life.
We can't allow Republicans to harm these kids.
If Republicans slash Medicaid and ACA, nearly 14 million Americans could lose their health care.
14 million people.
Only 4 states have populations larger than 14 million. Imagine entire states without health insurance.
It is ludicrous Republicans are even considering this.
Deeply alarmed by ICE detaining and interrogating a group of teachers on Maui. Rather than making our communities safer, Trump is focused solely on sowing chaos and instilling fear in vulnerable communities.
Trump declared May as Mental Health Awareness Month while also:
✖️cutting $1 billion in school mental health grants
✖️canceling $1 billion from SAMHSA
✖️seeking cuts to Medicaid which would strip mental health care coverage from millions
The hypocrisy is astounding.
Trump is cutting $1 billion in grants that were allocated after the deadly 2022 Uvalde shooting to hire mental health workers in schools.
Democrats and Republicans approved this funding to increase mental health services in schools and keep kids safe.
This will cost lives.
As expected, the Trump Administration is acting on behalf of Big Oil, attacking Hawaii's jurisdiction to hold oil companies accountable and protect its people, health, and natural resources.
This is a prime example of federal overreach. Despicable.
