Visited the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu to see firsthand the conditions of the facility and check in with the team and staff that work there.
If ICE is going to detain people here, we need to prioritize the safety, security & humane treatment of everyone being held there.

Proud to stand with advocates, parents, and community leaders from HCIR, Hawaiʻi Foodbank, HCAN, & Hawaiʻi Appleseed to speak out against the devastating cuts in this BIG, UGLY BILL. Our people deserve better than a law that threatens food money, health care, and the future of our keiki and kūpuna.
The BIG, UGLY BILL House Republicans pushed slashed food aid for hungry keiki and hard-working educators just to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Sitting here in Castle's cafeteria, all I can think is that today’s kids and teachers deserve better. We won’t stand for it. No more cuts to SNAP.
Grateful to be back at Castle High with Osa from HSTA, reflecting on how our schools & educators provided us important life opportunities. As we face deep cuts to public education, we must keep fighting to ensure schools have the resources they need to keep making a difference for our students.
Visited NOAA's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center & the National Weather Service who warn us about tsunamis, hurricanes & extreme weather. Hurricane season has started & as we continue to see more extreme weather, we need staff & continued weather and climate funding, not less, to keep our islands safe.
Introducing Questions for Your Congresswoman, a series where I will take time to answer questions from our students across Hawaiʻi who are curious about my positions and the everyday work that we do in Congress. They do have some great questions!
Had a great time at the 2025 Lāna‘i Pineapple Festival this weekend 🍍 The festival brought together guests from multiple islands & it was great connecting with folks that invest so much into our communities. Shoutout to our Lāna‘i Community Association ʻohana for organizing this year after year!
"From health care to housing, the food on our tables, and the education and jobs that give our people a chance, I will not waiver in my commitment to justice and opportunity to all."
While we lost the battle on this bill today, I will never stop fighting against the war Republicans have waged on our people and the safety nets and lifelines that help to lift our families up."
“To push this through on the eve of our nation’s birthday isn’t just heartless — it’s anti-American. It’s wrong, and Hawai‘i and our country deserves better."
"It guts the income our farmers and grocers depend on to nourish our communities, all while handing billions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.
These aren’t handouts, they’re lifelines.
And the cruelest part? Our keiki will be stuck paying off the $5 trillion in debt this bill creates."
"This bill would rip lifesaving Medicaid coverage from 17 million Americans, including 150,000 in Hawai‘i, and take food out of the mouths of 42 million people who rely on SNAP to feed their families, including 22,000 right here at home."
My statement on the passage of the Big Ugly Bill:
"It's been sickening to see Republicans fast track a bill that's not just bad policy, it's reckless and selfish, and it's a betrayal to our people." 🧵
Mahalo @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for recognizing my amendment on the Floor. We fought to protect Hawaiʻi's farmers, ranchers, & producers by making sure nothing in this bill harms them without USDA review. Republicans may have dismissed it, but we’ll continue standing up for our people & land.
Republicans’ Big Ugly would steal from your family and mine, just to give billionaires a gift for America’s birthday. It’s cruel, it’s inhumane. Democrats won’t stand for this.
✅ Make HHS prove it won't harm rural hospitals or reduce care access
✅ Block CHIP cuts to eligibility, enrollment, and benefits so keiki don't lose healthcare
✅ Make USDA prove SNAP cuts won’t hurt farmers
✅ Preserve GRAD PLUS loans for future doctors
We need to get our priorities straight.
A list of some amendments I filed to combat the Big Ugly Bill and focus on what's truly important: 🧵
Here with the local heroes at Kahumana Farms who sponsor Waiʻanae Kaukau 4 Keiki. The entire team is from the Westside and takes pride in caring for their community, packing 7,000 meals to help our Westside 'ohana keep food on the table. Big mahalo for all your helping hearts and hands!
Waianae Store is a family company that's served the Westside community for generations, supporting our local farmers & stocking their shelves with items their customers need & love. It was great talking to Kit about the success of the DaBux program & sharing concerns about SNAP funding cuts. Mahalo!
Busy day in Waianae: visited Self-Help Housing at Pokai Bay, met Waianae & Nanakuli students in Pua Kaiaulu summer program, dropped by Kaukau 4 Keiki & Waianae Store. Now headed back to D.C. to fight the Big Ugly Bill—to protect affordable housing, education, and programs that support our community.
