As Hurricane Nolo approaches Hawaii, I want everybody to be safe.
Stock up on food and water, charge your flashlights, and prepare your home.
If these natural disasters have shown our state anything, it's that we can and will get through these challenging times together.
If you need help with crop damage assistance, debris removal, or anything in between following Hurricane Lowell, USDA has programs to support Hawaii's farmers and ranchers as we recover.

Trump has spent years trying to punish anyone who challenges him: journalists, judges, law firms, universities, watchdogs, and now news organizations.
Those are the actions of an authoritarian government. They have no place in the United States.
$44 BILLION.
$44 BILLION in taxpayer dollars that could've gone towards our public schools, towards improving roads, towards lowering your health care costs...
$44,000,000,000 that Trump has spent on his illegal war of choice instead.
U.S. Central Command, which oversees American military operations in the Middle East, estimates that the Iran war has cost about $43.6 billion through early September, according to a document reviewed by the Post. wapo.st/3V3Nxk3
Republicans’ national private school voucher program is a $50 billion scheme.
Starting next year, they'll be diverting billions of dollars in taxpayer funding to subsidize wealthy families who send their children to expensive private schools.
Don't believe me? Tune in:

Our soldiers are being killed in Trump's war of choice, and this regime doesn't have the respect to acknowledge — or report on — the ultimate sacrifice they've made for our country.
This lack of reporting to protect a political narrative is beyond disgusting and infuriating.
Trump: "I am proud to announce that, effective immediately, I am banning Fake News CNN, MSNOW, and Politico ... from the White House as a result of their constant 'reporting' FAKE NEWS!"
Classified?
Sounds to me like they got tired of having to lie to the American people for why they started this illegal war.

The White House Press Corps speaks truth to power and provides transparency to the American people on the actions of their government.
Trump's repeated and routine attacks on the First Amendment, from his very first claims of "fake news" to his weaponization of the FCC and his banning of the Pentagon Press Corps, have led to a moment like this – where the president tries to decide who is worthy of covering his broken promises and historic corruption.
Perhaps he would feel differently if these companies were shelling out $100k a month to get early access to his social media posts.
Is it $38 BILLION?
$40 BILLION?
More?
What is the true cost of Trump's illegal war?
It's a simple question, but this regime won't give us a straight answer.
The lack of transparency is unacceptable. Senate Democrats are demanding the truth.

This is exactly why we need to pass the WARRIOR Act.
Pete Hegseth continues raising the hurdles to prevent women from serving our country. They keep clearing them.
Women meet and exceed these standards, but it’s Hegseth who refuses to accept it.

A few weeks ago, I spent the afternoon with scientists from the Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry and heard about the critical work USFS does for forests throughout Hawaii and the Pacific Region.
I'm glad I got to show @JohnBoozman their facility and introduce him to the diverse species IPIF works so hard to protect!
Kash Patel swore to uphold the Constitution.
But the only thing he's upheld is his dedication to turning a blind eye to this regime's rampant corruption.
Thieves shouldn't investigate theft.
But Kash Patel lowered FBI hiring standards to allow applicants with a history of theft or bestiality to serve in our nation's top law enforcement agency.
Why? @JudiciaryDems are asking the same question.
This is absurd. Trump is using YOUR taxpayer dollars to test for "abortions in the water." Seriously.
This isn't about health care or science. This is about catering to anti-abortion extremists who are fighting to rip away reproductive rights and control women's bodies.
ICYM our scoop last night: EPA is launching a study of water contamination that will, for the first time, test for the abortion pills mifepristone and misoprostol. Anti-abortion groups consider it a major win that could pave the way for restrictions. subscriber.politicopro.com/a…
