It was great to meet with @AsiaSocietyCEO. We covered a wide range of issues facing our Indo-Pacific allies and partners, including how we can continue working together to fight climate change and address threats to peace and security in the region.
Great to meet with members of the Hawai‘i Optometric Association. We talked about how we can continue supporting their work to make sure people across the state have access to quality eye and vision care.
Patsy Mink devoted her career to public service & Hawai‘i. As the first woman of color to serve in Congress, she fought to outlaw gender discrimination in education with Title IX & championed Head Start. She was a trailblazer in every way—no one is more deserving of this honor.

The evidence is clear: social media is making kids more depressed, more anxious, and more suicidal It’s a full-blown health crisis—Congress must act Our updated bill, the Healthy Kids Act, will finally protect our kids from these harms on social media: schatz.senate.gov/healthy-kids-a…
Solitary confinement is being routinely overused on civil detainees at ICE and CBP facilities despite its well-documented health harms. There’s no excuse for that, and my bill with @SenatorDurbin will strictly limit how it can be used. schatz.senate.gov/news/press-rel…
The federal government is awarding Hawaii more than $5.2 million to protect and strengthen Kamehameha Highway from rockfalls and erosion, according to U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz. More: 808ne.ws/43Xw2SJ #HInews #StarAdvertiser
Social media is exacerbating the youth mental health crisis, and it's disproportionately affecting Native children. Native kids already experience higher than average rates of depression and suicide—we can't allow Big Tech to keep making it worse for them.apnews.com/article/social…
Lāhainā is one of many communities across the country that was struck by disaster over the last year—and like the rest of those communities, it's in urgent need of more federal funding to help its recovery We're all in this together. Congress needs to pass more disaster aid ASAP
Sen. Schatz calls for additional disaster relief funding for Maui mauinow.com/2024/04/10/sen…
Mahalo to the @KITV4 Island Life crew for talking about the work we're doing to make sure institutions return Native ancestral remains and sacred items that don't belong to them.
Today I met with Mayor Bissen to discuss the status of Lāhainā's recovery. Maui continues to have the full backing of the federal government. We've been working as hard as we can to deliver as much aid as possible, and we won't stop until the community fully recovers.
We secured more than $5 million to protect drivers on Kamehameha Highway from the dangerous rockfalls and coastal erosion that have been affecting the road. This funding will make the highway safer for the thousands of drivers on O‘ahu who rely on it to get around every day.
Alzheimer's is an unforgiving disease, and more than 30,000 people aged 65 and older in Hawai‘i are living with it. Today I talked with HI reps from @alzassociation about how we can keep working together to bolster research and help support Alzheimer's patients & their families.

We secured more than $1 million in earmark funding to build the first ever adult day care center on Lānaʻi. For too long, seniors on Lānaʻi have had to move off island or to the mainland to get the care they need—this funding will help fix that. mauinow.com/2024/03/27/sch…

The fossil fuel industry is running up against a “risk wall.” Economic risks associated with climate change are relevant to today’s investment strategies.
Republicans would like us to believe that a viral epidemic of 'wokeism' has spread into America's financial system. This latest campaign against ESGs is more proof that the GOP woke screen is a smoke screen.
