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.

Last week, I celebrated the 90th anniversary of Social Security at the Lanakila Multi-Purpose Senior Center.
I know how vital Social Security is to our kupuna, which is why I'll always fight to preserve & strengthen your hard-earned benefits from this regime's attacks.
On the campaign trail, Trump promised to:
-release the Epstein files
-lower costs
-end the war in Ukraine
-protect IVF
Now that he's in office, he’s failed to deliver on these promises.
It just confirms what we already knew: he is a liar.
Your daily reminder that Republicans & Trump are on the side of billionaires, NOT working-class Americans.
The proof: They voted to rip health care and food assistance from millions & promised to drive up the cost of living, all so billionaires could get a tax break.
Trump's tariffs will cause Americans to pay around 18% more for imported goods.
Yet, Trump continues to claim that his administration is lowering costs for American families.
Hint: if his lips are moving, he's lying.
105 years ago today, the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote.
Today, as Republicans continue to spread their discriminatory agenda, I am committed to ensuring everybody’s voices in our democracy are heard & protected - no matter what.
These are not the stories of the “violent criminals” ICE says they are detaining. These are CHILDREN.
The headlines are horrifying. So much for keeping us safer…
There is nothing woke about telling the truth of America's past.
We can't run from our mistakes, but we can learn from them. Censoring our history through the lens of a wannabe dictator isn't going to help anyone.
Trump’s reckless firing spree has stripped federal agencies of thousands of experts focused on fostering innovation that keeps our communities safe.
@ChrisVanHollen & I just introduced 4 bills to stop this reckless war on our federal workers.

Costs under Trump are higher and continue to surge past prices Republicans complained about under Biden.
Bidenflation... more like Trumpflation.

Trump wants to use military force to muzzle the voices of anyone who opposes his agenda.
Do you know what they call a government that suppresses the voices of its constituents?
It's not democracy, it's authoritarianism.

Vance cast the tie-breaking vote to strip millions of essential programs like SNAP & Medicaid.
While grocery & electric bills skyrocket, he’s spending your tax dollars on luxury hotels.
He doesn’t care about Americans; he cares about the thread count of his hotel’s sheets.
Trump’s chaos is making it even harder for our veterans to get the VA care they’ve earned. Instead of hiring more health care workers & securing funding to give our veterans the support they deserve, he’s spent his time finding ways to make the top 1% richer. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Your voice truly makes a difference.
We have to keep fighting - we cannot lay down while this regime destroys our democracy & launches our country into an authoritarian state.
Keep fighting- I'm right there with you.
Censoring history, dismantling the pillars of democracy, deploying military forces unnecessarily… this is authoritarianism 101.

First, he bans transgender servicemembers. Now, this.
Despicable.
All servicemembers, regardless of their background, have made incredible sacrifices to serve our country. "Support Our Troops" means supporting ALL troops.
Ending union protections at the EPA is a blatant affront to workers’ rights & the critical science EPA employees do.
These contracts are vital to protecting employees & the future of our country. I stand with the American Federation of Government Employees & will always fight for our workers.
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!
Democracy is about participation. And yet, in every federal election millions of eligible voters cite work hours as the key reason they did not vote. That’s why I’m proud to lead a bill to expand voter access by ensuring workers get paid time off to vote. www.hirono.senate.gov/news/press-r...
As Republicans wage war on our nation’s health care system, I’m committed to ensuring Hawaii’s health care providers can continue serving our state.
I sat down with Kuakini Health System leaders to discuss the work they do to protect the health & future of our state.
