President Ronald Reagan founded the National Endowment for Democracy, in 1983, as an independent, nonprofit foundation with a bipartisan board, and since then, it has been the main way that the United States has helped to strengthen…

only 50 years ago, we made a promise as a nation. When Congress passed the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, we affirmed a simple and profound truth: Every child, no matter their disability or ability, has the right to a free…

I chuckled when Ken mentioned pet peeves and names. We need to add quinoa and potatoes to that list. He definitely didn't like those. For the record, my nickname was Barracuda, so figure that one out. God works in mysterious ways. In the…

No regime-change wars. No regime-change wars. I heard it from leftists. I heard it from rightwing people. I heard it from Bernie Sanders. I heard it from Tulsi Gabbard. I heard it from Donald John Trump: No regime-change wars. And yet here…

S. 612 is a bipartisan bill that amends the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience Act, which authorizes grants to Indian Tribes, Tribal organizations and Native Hawaiian organizations to support recreational travel and…

Our Hawaii Government Employees Association calls the President's action a direct attack on working Americans. That is why I stand firmly with our union ``ohana'' ``family'' across the country in rejecting these union-busting efforts and…

I rise today outraged at the ongoing assault on the rights and protections of the Federal workers who serve our Nation, over 48,000 of them in Hawaii alone. Just yesterday, this House passed the NDAA, meant to strengthen our national…

when Republicans tell you over and over, over a period of generations, that they have no interest in protecting people's healthcare, you should take them seriously. For decades, since the days of Ronald Reagan, they have argued that…

National Rural Health Day is a chance to honor the communities that keep this country moving: the farmers, teachers, ``seniors,'' ``kupuna,'' health workers, first responders, small business owners, and families who fuel our local…

War must always be the last resort, only after all measures of diplomacy have been completely exhausted.

Unfortunately, a lot of politicians are too afraid to speak the truth about this because they are afraid of the political backlash they may get being called Islamophobes and so forth.

I love our country, and it continues to be a very special thing to serve alongside the less than 1% of Americans who volunteer to put their lives on the line to defend the safety, security and freedom of the American people.

If I was interested in serving myself, I would be in Hawaii on a surfboard right now, living the easy life with my family in the place that we are grateful to call home.

For me, this has never been about politics. It's about service. Service to country, service to others, and making sure the truth reaches the people who make the hardest decisions.

People will say that America First equates to some policy about isolationism, and that's simply not true.

This is solved in 10 seconds if Donald Trump wants it solved.

this is exactly what it looks like. The President of the United States is going out of his way to make sure that people don't have enough to eat. And it is hard to believe because it does sound crazy; it does sound partisan. But he really…

a couple of weeks ago, I came to the floor to talk about where the Republicans are, and this is now--effectively, the House of Representatives has adjourned. The national legislature has adjourned. I want everyone to understand what is…
