Hawaii company Oceanit has a COVID-19 test that could help open the state back up for business.

The House minority Republican caucus is united in fighting to end the anti-democratic practice.

And the only sure way to shake things up is through voting.

Digital platforms are affecting every sphere of life, and they threaten our liberties if left unchecked.

If we cease to act, innovate and capitalize on our strategic advantages, potential opportunities will leave our islands.
