I recently wrote for @dataforprogress about why postal banking is so important—and why voters support guaranteeing access to basic financial services for all Americans. This week, I introduced new postal banking legislation with @BernieSanders. https://t.co/gpcb6od1wG — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
Imagine if your post office could provide basic, low cost banking services. It's a simple idea that could help millions of Americans and make our banking system more fair. I'm working with @BernieSanders to make postal banking a reality. https://t.co/Hgs8GQp8nD — PolitiTweet.org

I spent time with the hilarious characters of @tooningout to talk about climate change, a Green New Deal, and my new legislation to help veterans suffering from toxic exposure to burn pits. https://t.co/XH67FrDixR — PolitiTweet.org

With our communities facing harrowing wildfires, destructive hurricanes and flooding, the grim realities of climate change are in full view. We are capable of confronting this crisis, but we deserve leaders who will listen to the science—and take decisive action. — PolitiTweet.org

The alleged horrors described here—of immigrant women being forced into hysterectomies—are egregious human rights abuses. We cannot look away from this. They must be thoroughly investigated and those responsible should be held accountable. https://t.co/YGprPeZ1vW — PolitiTweet.org

Toxic burn pit exposures have taken a toll on countless veterans and their families. Our government has an obligation to stand by them. That's why, today, I introduced sweeping legislation to get them the health care they desperately need. — PolitiTweet.org

We're fighting to get brave veterans—suffering from debilitating illnesses linked with toxic exposure to burn pits during their overseas service—the health care they need. They answered the call of duty. Now, we have an obligation to stand by them. https://t.co/l2qU9gJZxH — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
Veterans across the country are sick and dying from diseases resulting from toxic exposure to #burnpits. I'm introducing new legislation to ensure that they get the benefits they need—and I'm proud to work alongside Jon Stewart in this effort. https://t.co/HsRUrWk9q9 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
We need to apply some common sense and common decency to a broken process, and I am ready to fight for it. It’s what these service members and veterans need and deserve. 8/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
As you may know, I led a hard fight to get our 9/11 heroes the care they needed. Like our 9/11 heroes, these veterans answered the call of duty—fighting wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere—and were made sick by their service. Now, our government should stand by them. 7/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
To put it simply, this bill, The Presumptive Benefits for War Fighters Exposed to Burn Pits and Other Toxins Act, cuts the red tape. It says: If you served when the military used burn pits, and you are sick, you are covered. It should be that simple. 6/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
Now, these veterans are sick and dying. But they’re also fighting the VA for benefits, because the VA has placed on their shoulders the heavy burden of proof that their illness is linked to their service. Many are being denied benefits. My bill will change that. 5/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
The largest burn pit, on Balad Air Base in Iraq, was 10 acres of burning garbage, plastics, and medical waste. It burned 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, from 2003 to 2009—next to where our service members ate, slept, and worked. 4/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
These burn pits, so hazardous that they’re outlawed on American soil, were used on military bases around the world. More than three million service members—stationed in the Middle East, North Africa, and West Asia—have likely been exposed to their carcinogens and toxic fumes. 3/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
During military operations in the Global War on Terror, the military employed open-air burn pits to burn garbage, medical waste, plastics, and other waste from military installations. Our service members lived and breathed in a toxic cocktail of dust, smoke, and debris. 2/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
THREAD: I’m announcing sweeping legislation to help veterans with diseases linked with exposures to #burnpits and other toxins. Many vets are sick and dying from these exposures—and the VA has made it difficult for them to get care. It’s an outrage. 1/8 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
26 years ago, the Violence Against Women Act was signed into law, ensuring care for families suffering from domestic violence. To this day, McConnell won’t move to reauthorize it. It’s time for the Senate to ensure these protections. We can’t keep failing to act. #VAWA26 — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
Now, we see that same spirit in the face of a new challenge. We see it in our essential workers. In the communities working together to distribute food. In those marching for justice. These everyday heroes deserve leaders who fight for them as hard as they fight for each other. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
On Sept. 11, we saw how much Americans are willing to risk and sacrifice for one another in the brave heroes who stepped up to help. That's the spirit of America—selfless, strong, and undaunted by challenging times. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
On Sept. 11, 2001, we experienced the darkest of moments in our history, but also saw the best of America in the firefighters, police officers, first responders, and others who risked their lives to help our community. We honor and mourn all those we lost, but will never forget. — PolitiTweet.org

As you might know, @TimsDesiree, running for Congress in #OH10, was once a member of my team. Tonight I was proud to join a call hosted by former members of my staff to support her campaign.

The fact that the Republican “skinny” bill prioritizes blanket liability for corporations over the health and safety of the working people who are keeping this country running is insulting. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
As much as President Trump and many Republicans want to pretend that COVID has magically gone away, it hasn’t. To act like it has is an affront to the lives lost and the millions of families who have been affected. It’s also a recipe for disaster. — PolitiTweet.org
Kirsten Gillibrand @SenGillibrand
Nearly 30 million people are out of work. Tens of thousands are contracting COVID each day. Millions are struggling to pay rent and keep food on the table. But instead of addressing these needs, McConnell has put out a relief bill that prioritizes the needs of corporations. — PolitiTweet.org

I have faith that Congress can step up to help these veterans. I'm looking forward to working with Jon Stewart and John Feal to get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Our country's ongoing hunger crisis has been made even worse by the pandemic. These images and stories are heart wrenching. Americans are struggling to feed themselves and their families—and the federal government can and should do more to provide relief. https://t.co/4U7XsrY3u5 — PolitiTweet.org
