Most Dreamers have only known the U.S. as their home and they deserve access to quality, affordable health care. As a proud immigrant, I'm glad to see @POTUS taking action to make 100,000 Dreamers eligible for Affordable Care Act coverage.

Proud to join the Akaka ohana & @DeptVetAffairs for the historic opening of the Daniel Akaka VA Clinic in Kapolei. More than 15,000 veterans live in West Oahu, and this clinic is already helping them get the health care they need in their community.

Radical Republicans are at SCOTUS today arguing that even in the most dire medical emergency, a pregnant person should be denied abortion access until they're literally on the brink of death. They don't give one rip about "life," only power and control.

I'm an ER Doctor. If the Supreme Court Upends EMTALA, Patients Will Die.

Thanks to EMTALA, emergency room doctors are trained to treat life-threatening pregnancy-related emergencies. That treatment needs to include an abortion.

Thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, seniors with Medicare Part D have their insulin costs capped at $35/month and free shingles vaccines. And next year, their out-of-pocket drug costs will be capped at $2,000/year. Every single Republican voted against this bill.

Our servicemembers entrust DOD to take care of their children while they are on duty. The reports of abuse at military child care centers are completely unacceptable. The DOD must take all necessary actions to ensure the safety of children in its care.

Last year, Democrats took on Big Pharma. And – despite Republican opposition – we won. Now, Americans will see real savings on prescription drugs, like insulin, inhalers, and life-saving cancer drugs.

The recent reports of abuse & a lack of accountability at military child care centers are absolutely unacceptable—period. I pressed the @DeptofDefense on exactly what happened and what steps it is taking to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

Today, in the Pelosi Caucus Room we honored Patsy Mink and her legacy—including her work to advance gender equity through Title IX, and celebrated the 2024 Patsy Mink quarter. I hope Patsy Mink's quarter will serve as a reminder for women and girls that anything is possible.

Our servicemembers & veterans dedicate their lives to defending our nation—they should have access to the health care they need, regardless of how they identify. It's long overdue for @DeptVetAffairs to provide trans veterans the health care they deserve.

Many servicemembers suffer traumatic brain injuries while serving, and not enough is done to research, track, and prevent these injuries. I’ve joined legislation to better understand and prevent these injuries so that our servicemembers and veterans can get the care they need.

Sending my deepest condolences to Akebono Taro's friends and family. Akebono was a mighty force in sumo wrestling as the first non-Japanese person to earn the status of Yokozuna, or grand champion. He blazed a trail for so many and is a true Hawaii icon. May he rest in peace.

Proud to commemorate this week as National Library Week. As Republicans work to ban books from our schools and libraries and silence diverse voices, I'm working to protect the indispensable services libraries provide and reaffirm the right to free and unfettered access to books.
