Right now, our laws allow employers who exploit child workers to get away with weak fines, even when a child dies as a result. To stop child labor violations, we need stronger penalties. It's why I introduced a bill that will do this, and I’m glad @ActSecJulieSu agrees.

The people of Maui have been through hell and back. It's the federal government's responsibility to give them all the funding they need to recover. We now need additional aid. This can't wait any longer. Congress needs to pass more disaster relief funding.

Got to meet with fellows from @EastWestCenter ’s Resilient Pacific Islands Leaders program.   These rising leaders are going to take on and help solve some of the biggest challenges facing the region. The future is bright for strong, principled leadership throughout the Pacific.

People who were impacted by the Red Hill leak need long-term federal support, and @DeptofDefense owes it to them. DoD must continue to prioritize health monitoring and environmental remediation. At today's hearing, @SecDef reiterated his commitment to making sure that happens.

It was great to welcome the Hawai‘i REALTORS Association to DC.   Our country is experiencing a housing shortage, and Hawai‘i is on the front lines. We had a productive conversation about our efforts in the Senate to make it easier to build housing and fight this crisis head-on.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we mourn and honor the lives of the 6 million Jews that were murdered by the Nazis.   Antisemitism, bigotry, and hate have no place in our society. We recommit to the responsibility of "Never Again" and stand in solidarity with Holocaust survivors.

Dreamers all across the country—including in Hawai‘i—deserve health care like the rest of us. More than a third of them currently lack coverage, and I’m glad they’ll be able to enroll through the ACA Marketplaces. Thanks to @SenatorDurbin @SenBooker for leading on this issue.

Dreamers are our loved ones, nurses, teachers, and small business owners – they deserve the promise of health care just like all of us. Today, my Administration is making that real by expanding affordable health coverage through the Affordable Care Act to DACA recipients.

Today is World Press Freedom Day. A free press is vital to any healthy democracy—but far too often, we see journalists around the world losing their lives or being thrown in jail for just doing their jobs.   We need to do all we can to support press freedom, at home and overseas.

Everyone deserves access to safe roads and skies. That’s why I asked @SecretaryPete at yesterday's THUD hearing about how @USDOT can improve access to infrastructure improvements for Indian Country, and how the department is addressing the air traffic controller shortage.
