And we have the Fair Housing Law, we have equal employment law, like you are not allowed to discriminate in housing. And so just to understand, they are not trying to just like cancel these programs related to DEI; they are trying to…

Or pardon everyone in the January 6 event. You know this, and you have talked about this on the floor.

They would get--I was about to swear. It is the Senate floor. I will not. But they would get canned. They would get immediately sacked.

I vote no for the 400,000 people in Hawaii who depend on Medicaid. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Pursuant to rule XII, no debate is permitted during a vote. The Senator will suspend. The clerk will continue to call the roll. The legislative clerk…

I think about my constituents in the IFPTE who work at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard. I think about 20 years ago, I guess, the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard was low-performing. It was not great. There was the BRAC Commission to determine…
