    To me, Judge Kavanaugh is not just a conservative jurist. He's not John Roberts. He's not even Neil Gorsuch. He's a Republican operative who is posing as a judge.

    Today, we remember the many heroes and neighbors lost in the 9-11 attacks. Seventeen years later, the courage and unity shown by so many on that fateful day still inspires us to come together, to serve, and to do something that’s bigger than ourselves.

    This resolution also “condemns attacks on the institution of the free press and views efforts to systematically undermine the credibility of the press as a whole as an attack on our democratic institution.”

    . & I have introduced a resolution that does just this. It affirms that the press is not the enemy of the people. And it reaffirms the vital role the free press serves to inform the electorate, uncover truth, act as a check & advance democratic norms & freedoms.

    These words of past leaders should inspire this body to act—to send a message that we support the First Amendment, and we support the freedom of the press.

    Or Justice Anthony Kennedy, who wrote that “the First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is beside the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.”

    Or President Reagan, who said that “freedom of the press is one of our most important freedoms, and also one of our oldest.

    Or James Madison, who said that “the freedom of the press is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty, and can never be restrained but by despotic governments.”

    We can't let statements by declaring the press is the enemy of the people go unchallenged. Both parties complain about the media but who would argue w/ Thomas Jefferson who wrote: “our liberty depends on the freedom of the press & that cannot be limited without being lost”

    The Senate has passed my proposal directing the federal government to assess how Kilauea has hurt farmers and ranchers. This is about people’s livelihoods, and it’s about Hawaii Island’s agricultural history and way of life. This bill is a good step in our recovery efforts.

    12 of my Democratic colleagues & I read a letter written by 54 parents being detained at the Port Isabel Detention Center. The separation of families at the border is not simply a policy that has resulted in immeasurable harm, but a policy designed to inflict it. It is immoral.

    Great time talking story with Hawaii’s Future Farmers of America. This has been an especially tough year for Hawaii farmers so it’s encouraging to see so many FFA students here in Washington.

    Imagine waking up to your phone, television & radio warning of an incoming missile threat. Then imagine learning it was only a false alarm. It happened in Hawaii this year. So kudos to Senator & for the READI Act to help ensure this never happens again.

    Incompetence does not excuse this by any stretch. It is the moral duty of the United States to reunite these families as soon as possible.

    Last week the Senate unanimously passed my bill, the ALERT Act. The bipartisan bill makes it clear that the authority to send missile alerts rests with the federal government. I look forward to seeing this bill go on to the next step needed to become law.

    There is so much going on in the news that this is barely breaking through. But Republicans are still trying to take health care away from millions of Americans with preexisting conditions. They sabotaged our health care system, causing rates to skyrocket.

    President Trump holds a powerful position, but he cannot stop the clean energy momentum that’s happening in cities, states, and the private sector.

    The people at our borders are human beings. They have left behind friends, families, and most of what they own to come to our border because they have no other choice. This , it’s incumbent on everyone to remember that.
