No money for your health care.
No money for your education.
No money to help put food on the table.

But $16.7 million for ICE to create more chaotic violence with shock gloves.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has awarded a $16.7 million contract to purchase 6,000 pairs of gloves that can deliver painful electric shocks, saying officers would use them to control detainees and protesters who resist.

Instead of fighting to improve our schools and create more opportunities for students to succeed, this regime is fixated on rooting out diversity and undermining education.

This latest attack on minority students and the schools that serve them is all of a piece.

The Treasury Department released rules that would prevent schools with race-based programs from qualifying for tax-exempt status, a threat to both higher education and other private schools.

Talking to farmers, trying poi, planting ulu trees... it was great to showcase Hawaii's diverse agriculture to Senate AG Chairman John Boozman!

I look forward to continuing to work with him to develop a Farm Bill that supports Hawaii's farmers, crops, and families.

Trump campaigned on lowering gas prices below $2 a gallon.

But gas in Hawaii is currently about $5.50 a gallon.

Nobody in our country should be paying over $5 a gallon for gas while this regime wastes tax dollars on an illegal war, a ballroom, and a host of other nonsense.

Making MapQuest Popular Again!

As of Tuesday, the 30-year-old navigation tool was Apple’s No. 1 free app after the company rebuffed an executive order renaming the Great Lake.

You know what they always say... stop and smell the plumerias!

It's always a treat to stop by Little Plumeria Farms to chat with my friends, the Littles, while getting to see and smell their beautiful plumeria trees.

Wish me luck as I try to grow my very own plumeria tree!

Gas in Hawaii is over $5 a gallon.

And what is Trump doing about it?

Building a $600 million ballroom.
Spending $39+ billion on an illegal war
Coating horse statues in DC in gold
Starting a trade war with Canada
Refurbishing a private jet from Qatar
Constructing a $250 million arch

The list goes on…

All while Americans struggle to afford fuel for their cars or food for their families.

I truly believe the creative parts in us need to be nourished whenever possible.

I enjoyed visiting the REHAB Hospital of the Pacific to tour the facility, visit with staff, and chat with participants in the creative arts program who create beautiful artwork as part of their rehabilitation!

It's day 182 of Trump's illegal war with Iran.

A war he promised would only be "four to five weeks" and has now cost Americans over $37 BILLION and growing everyday.

A president who obsessively renames lakes, buildings, gulfs, and even oceans is not ending the illegal war or lowering gas, grocery, or energy prices.

Wake up America.
