People are being killed. Prices are going up. BILLIONS are being spent. Military readiness is being weakened. And this regime refuses to tell the American people the true cost of Trump's illegal war. The constant "I don't know" is unacceptable.

Trump is the world's sorest loser. For years, he's pushed conspiracy theories and rambled on about stolen elections. And tonight will be no different. But despite what Trump so desperately wants to be true, our elections are safe and secure.

I asked Todd Blanche to clarify if he truly thinks it is Trump's "right" and "duty" to order investigations and prosecutions against his enemies. The only thing he clarified is his intention to continue helping Trump misuse the DOJ as his personal law firm.

Todd Blanche talks a lot, but he doesn't really say much. Good thing he doesn't have to. Because actions speak louder than words, and since day one, his actions have proved he's unfit to be Attorney General.

As the North Shore rebuilds from the Kona low storms, I'm proud to see the North Shore Huakai program do what Hawaii does best: coming together to support our communities and neighbors. Supporting local businesses while exploring the North Shore all for $5! What could be better?

Trump says he "loves" inflation. We can tell. Since he took office, people in Hawaii are paying $872 MORE for housing, $310 MORE for groceries, and $263 MORE for gas. $4,100 MORE because Trump prioritizes anything but lowering costs for Americans.

Do you want your taxpayer dollars going to detaining hundreds of babies and toddlers? I know I sure don't. But Republicans just voted to hand ICE $70,000,000,000 to continue doing just that. A completely evil abuse of taxpayer dollars and power.

Within the last year, Republicans reduced Medicaid funding by nearly $1 TRILLION, nutritional assistance grants by almost $190 BILLION, and diverted $500 BILLION from public schools. Over $1,700,000,000,000 in cuts. And apparently, for Republicans, that $1.7 trillion isn't enough.
