As of 1155 AM, radar indicated heavy rain over the eastern half of Oahu. Video from the public in Hauula on the east side of Oahu. A Flash Flood Warning has been issued. Do not cross fast flowing water in your vehicle, or on foot!

We should be working to help hungry Americans, not take away their food. Yet under a new rule proposed by the Trump Admin (based on ideas the Congress rejected on a bipartisan basis), hundreds of thousands of ppl could lose nutrition assistance. This is the definition of cruelty.

Democrats are committed to fully, responsibly funding the government in January. In the meantime, we will support the continuing resolution to keep government open & working. #ForThePeople

You know the black vote is important when both US state/local govs & foreign govs try to suppress it.
Last year, we met w/ @Facebook & other tech companies about this issue.
If they can't stop the weaponization of their platforms, then Congress will.

In the new Congress, @RepCummings, @RepJerryNadler, and @RepAdamSchiff will be on the frontlines of holding this administration accountable – and ensuring our government is working #ForThePeople. nytimes.com/2018/12/17/magaz…

I am thankful for the heroism of all of America’s military men and women, including our trans servicemembers—@realDonaldTrump’s attacks on these brave people in uniform are a disgrace. washingtonpost.com/amphtml/p…

"It’s time for a Congress that works for all of the people, instead of a rubber stamp for special interests and President Trump. These are the promises we Democrats made to the American people, & these are the promises we will redeem." - @GerryConnolly in this week's #DemAddress

Rep. @GerryConnolly in this week's #DemAddress: "Rather than dismantle and sabotage Obamacare, House Democrats want to work to make it better by creating more competition, bringing down prescription drug costs, and expanding access to health care."

Given his record of threats to undermine & weaken the Russia investigation, Matthew Whitaker should recuse himself from any involvement in Mueller’s investigation. Congress must take immediate action to protect the rule of law and integrity of the investigation. #FollowTheFacts

It is impossible to read Attorney General Sessions’ firing as anything other than another blatant attempt by @realDonaldTrump to undermine & end Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation.

50 years ago today, #ShirleyChisholm broke the glass ceiling and became the first African American woman elected to Congress. She paved the way for so many women of color. Let’s honor her legacy by getting out to #vote. #UnboughtUnbossed

In communities across my district & the country at large, too many working families are struggling to make ends meet. We can help them by lowering prescription drug prices, raising wages by investing in infrastructure & fighting corruption. #ForThePeople dems.gov/forthepeople

Secretary Zinke must answer for using his office for personal gain. We're working #ForThePeople to clean up President Trump’s corrupt cabinet and to #InvestigateZinke.

A cruel Halloween trick from @realDonaldTrump. Here’s a photo of you and @HouseGOP at the White House *laughing* about passing a bill that would have gutted protections for Americans with pre-existing conditions. Democrats are fighting to #ProtectOurCare. #ForThePeople

Last week Secretary Zinke tried to fire his inspector general. This week we find out the IG he tried to fire has referred Zinke to the Department of Justice for potentially trying to profit from his office. We need to #InvestigateZinke now!

Multiple agencies are providing support after #Yutu. While we work with local officials to support their needs, @USCG is assessing damage to ports and waterways, @HHSgov teams are preparing support to medical facilities, and @DeptofDefense is working to transport food and water.
