🇺🇸 Today we celebrate Victory Day, proclaimed by President Trump to honor the end of WWII. American Samoa stood with the U.S.—with the Fita Fita Guard and heroes like Peter T. Coleman, a Pearl Harbor survivor & Guadalcanal vet. #VictoryDay #WWII #AmericanSamoa

As one of over a billion Catholics worldwide, I welcome the announcement of Pope Leo XIV with joy. His historic Papacy—first U.S.-born Pope, with ties to South America—begins with a message of unity and peace. We look forward with hope. #PopeLeoXIV #CatholicChurch #UnityAndPeace

Motherhood is a great joy... ‘Train up a child in the way he should go...’ (Proverbs 22:6)... ‘Her children rise up and call her blessed,’ (Proverbs 31:28). God bless you this Mother’s Day.” #MothersDay #CongresswomanAmata #Proverbs31 #FaithAndFamily

Joined Senator Cortez Masto Joni Ernst & Rep. Ed Case to introduce a bipartisan bill strengthening U.S. ties with Pacific Islands.Proud to be part of this effort to support diplomacy, development, & regional security. #PacificPartnershipAct #AmericanSamoa #PacificIslands

The House just passed bill—the South Pacific Tuna Treaty Act (H.R. 531)—with bipartisan support! This strengthens U.S. ties with 16 Pacific nations, supports our distant water fleet in Pago Pago, and protects American Samoa’s marine economy. #TunaTreaty #AS

American Samoa’s Close Up students visited Congresswoman Amata’s DC office for a homemade lunch & Capitol tour! While the Congresswoman is on island for graduations, her staff was proud to host these future leaders. “Always a joy to see our students,” she said. #CloseUp2025

I’m deeply saddened and outraged by the horrific murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim. They were targeted in DC for being Jewish. We must stand united against antisemitism. These vibrant lives mattered. Our hearts go out to their families and community.

Fa’afetai to all who joined the senior town hall at TAOA! Updates included Medicaid, Social Security, and senior services. No changes to benefits—Medicaid match stays at 83%. Grateful for our elders & your voices! #AmataInAction #ServingSeniors #AmericanSamoa #TAOACenter

“On Memorial Day, we are forever grateful to those Service Members who sacrificed all in the cause of freedom.” We remember our fallen heroes—including our Toa o Samoa—and honor their legacy. #MemorialDay #HonorTheFallen #ToaOSamoa #MilitaryFamilies

These islands in PRIMNM are America’s-not just Hawaiian or Samoan. Food security is national security. I thank President Trump for acting on our Flag Day to protect our tuna supply. He listened to Am. Samoa when others did not. #FaaSamoa #FlagDay #TunaIndustry

While home in American Samoa, I was grieved by the attacks on MN lawmakers. I support the bipartisan resolution rejecting political violence. We must stand united in peace and democracy. 🇺🇸 #Unity #CongresswomanAmata #AmericanSamoa

USCGC Harriet Lane hosted our district staff & local partners, strengthening ties with American Samoa. “More is better” for USCG here, as I’ve said. Their presence ensures safety, lawful fishing & U.S. commitment in the Pacific. 🇺🇸⚓️ #USCG #HarrietLane

Happy Manu’a Flag Day 2025! 🇺🇸🎉 Honoring the 1904 flag-raising when Ta’u, Ofu & Olosega joined the U.S. Proud to celebrate with Manu’a and honor our Matai forefathers’ wisdom. Fa’afetai, Manu’a! 🇦🇸 #ManuaFlagDay #AmericanSamoa #IslandPride We do not own music rights

🚤 Proud to cosponsor H.R. 3858—the Sport Fish Restoration & Boating Safety Act—passed unanimously in Committee! This bipartisan bill supports boating access, fisheries, and wildlife. “Happy to support outdoor activities & healthy habitats.” #AmericanSamoa #IslandLife

We’ve lost a true ambassador of Pacific music. George “Fiji” Veikoso’s voice united generations and cultures. “His spirit, rooted in love and truth, will continue to live on in every note of his music.” Ia manuia lau malaga, Fiji. Moce mada, turaga vinaka. #RIPFiji
