Two federal judges have ruled what we knew all along — the administration can and MUST release the $6 billion SNAP contingency funds so families can put food on the table. Proud Hawaiʻi stood up as a plaintiff state to say: do what’s right, follow the law, don’t hold hungry people hostage.

Had a great time at UH West O‘ahu’s REAL TALK — talking story with students about how we can all help shape Hawai‘i’s future. Mahalo for creating space for open, honest conversations about the value of every vote & our democracy. Always inspired by Hawai‘i’s next generation of leaders.
Honored to speak at the Hawai‘i Farmers Union United 15th Annual Convention in Kona & hear from our farmers how the GOP tariffs, federal employee layoffs, and cuts to SNAP are hurting them. We must protect Hawai‘i agriculture from these harmful actions & keep our local producers growing strong. 🌱
Grateful to join the blessing of the new Early Head Start Līhuʻe Center on Kaua'i & celebrate the many keiki who will grow and learn here. Instead of cutting Head Start through Project 2025, we need to triple down & fight for early education so every child has a strong start & a chance to succeed.
Visited AlohaCare for a tour & roundtable discussion on how Medicaid cuts will hurt our most vulnerable, from keiki to kūpuna, across Hawai’i. My Democratic colleagues & I remain fiercely committed to protecting and expanding life-saving healthcare access for our communities across the country.
Glad to visit Kapiolani Medical Center to mahalo our healthcare workers who provide lifesaving care.
Healthcare is our red line. Democrats are fighting to reopen government AND protect that crucial healthcare access that we rely on across the country & in Hawaiʻi.
Visited Mālama I Ke Ola Health Center to mahalo their team for caring for Maui’s most vulnerable, from keiki to kūpuna. With over 50% of their funding from Medicaid, the Big Ugly Law threatens their lifesaving work.
There is only one choice: Reopen government AND protect life saving healthcare.
The only king I acknowledge is King Kamehameha & his lineage. There are no dictators in America.
To House and Senate Republicans: Stop acting like servants. Do your job. Protect healthcare for millions of Americans. Let's reopen the government.
Mahalo ACLU for inviting me to this speak about how crucial it is to protect democracy and stand up for fairness and accountability in our government.
Hawai‘i will always anchor the fight for democratic values, for transparency, and for a government that truly works for all of us.
Spent yesterday with my DWC colleagues standing up for domestic violence awareness & calling attention to the impacts of the health care crisis and Republican shutdown on women and families. We stand united, fighting to get our government back to work.
All while Republicans remain on vacation.
My DWC colleagues and I visited Speaker Johnson's (empty) office, demanding that Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva be sworn in immediately.
House Republicans fear she'll be the final member needed to force a vote to release the Epstein files.
Do your duty. Swear her in.
Back in D.C. this week along with my Democratic colleagues to continue pushing for an end to the government shutdown—waiting for House Republicans to come to the negotiating table so that we can save healthcare & keep critical services running. Also gave a peek of what I brought back with me.

From the shores of Hawaiʻi to the islands of Alaska, Indigenous people are the heartbeat of our nation.
On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the cultures, traditions, and resilience of Indigenous communities that continue to enrich our shared history and future.
Visited O‘ahu’s air traffic controllers to share a heartfelt mahalo for their dedication in keeping our skies safe during the shutdown. Many are working mandatory overtime & without pay as staffing shortages worsen. I'm pushing for the government to reopen so these workers no longer go without pay.
Visited the Hawai‘i Foodbank to discuss how the federal shutdown will impact food security across our islands. When paychecks stop and benefits are delayed, hunger will grow. Mahalo to the Hawai‘i Foodbank for stepping up for our community & ensuring no one in Hawai‘i goes hungry.
For more info, call my office at (808) 746-6220. We hope you can join us.
On Thurs. October 16 from 5:30-6:30pm HST, I will be holding a district-wide Tele-Town Hall. I will answer questions & address concerns about the federal government shutdown (if still ongoing), the impacts of federal funding cuts & other issues impacting Hawai‘i residents.
Republicans health care cuts threaten to collapse our health care system, especially in rural Hawaiʻi. We must unite to tackle this health care crisis and end this government shutdown.
Explaining the government shutdown in 3 minutes.
Drove past the VA Clinic in Kona today — please know that veterans’ health services are still open during the shutdown. If you need care, please reach out.
Mahalo to all our VA staff working hard to support those who served and to all of our federal workers keeping things moving in tough times.
