I’m on the Senate floor to demand that my colleagues immediately pass our bill to permanently reauthorize the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. We have strong bipartisan support to get this done for our 9/11 first responders, so let’s get it done now. https://t.co/VAKKga0V3P — PolitiTweet.org

New York homeowners who've played by the rules shouldn't be punished by the #GOPTaxScam's caps on the State & Local Tax deduction. States are trying to help homeowners, but new IRS rules are shutting down that work. I've joined a resolution to fight back & nullify those rules. — PolitiTweet.org

The National Flood Insurance Program is broken. With hurricane season already here and sea levels rising on our coasts, it's time to fix it. That's why I helped write the #NFIPRe Act, bipartisan flood insurance reform to give home and small business owners the relief they need. https://t.co/hU4X106sBH — PolitiTweet.org

The federal justice system has failed the Garners and our city—and the NYPD must make their departmental findings fully transparent to the public and take immediate action to ensure that this officer is no longer on the force. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Five years after Eric Garner was placed in a banned chokehold in clear violation of NYPD policy, and said "I can’t breathe" eleven times on video, his family still can’t get justice. It's an outrage. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Honestly, there's not much left to say. Lou said it all. We said "Never Forget." And it’s within reach for the Senate to make good on that promise. @senatemajldr, let’s #Renew911VCF with a clean vote on the House-passed bill. https://t.co/u8QoCFmAL3 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The Blue Water Navy Vietnam veterans have been waiting for seventeen years for VA benefits. The bill to fix this problem was signed into law, but now, @SecWilkie is delaying benefits by another 6 months. It's an insult. @SteveDaines and I are demanding no delays. https://t.co/GH7Cn9wgrg — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The Trump administration's cruelty is unending. Not only is this action illegal, but denying those fleeing unthinkable violence and persecution the right to apply for asylum is morally depraved. End of story. We must rise up to stop this. https://t.co/PNI97h3h9m — PolitiTweet.org

And, as always, you can reach out to my New York City team. Learn more about opening a case with my office on our website: https://t.co/wQZvZky0tV Let’s all make sure to stay informed and stand together in solidarity. — PolitiTweet.org

With the president’s threat of ICE raids happening across New York City this weekend, I want to help lift up as many resources as possible so that you and your neighbors know your rights. The @ACLU has put together a helpful, comprehensive guide in multiple languages: — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I'm troubled by the apparent mishandling of sexual assault allegations against Gen. John E. Hyten—both over the fairness of the case's process and what it says about the broader need for military justice reform. I've written to @EsperDoD to ask for a thorough review: https://t.co/TgbHqd3XI6 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I commend the House for passing the bill to permanently #Renew911VCF. No more excuses. @senatemajldr gave his word to get this done in the next 2 weeks. We have 72 bipartisan cosponsors. Let's show through action we'll never forget what these heroes did for our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Héctor Figueroa was a friend; a giant who made huge strides for New York, Puerto Rico, and communities across our nation; a champion for working people and a voice for so many. His legacy will never be forgotten. Sending my love to the Figueroa and the @32BJSEIU family. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud of my hometown for taking this important step forward to protect our immigrant community. https://t.co/dFCsu7JH9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Far too many children who rely on meals provided at school are left at risk of hunger during the summer months. This can't keep happening, which is why I'm working with @lisamurkowski on a solution to improve access to healthy meals when school's out. https://t.co/cDudHzPqlx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The UN just reported that the world may face a ‘climate apartheid’ that could push 120 mil people into poverty by 2030. That sounds like an emergency to me. It’s time for the U.S. to lead on climate—so I’ve joined @SenSanders, @AOC and @repblumenauer on their new resolution. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Susie Belanger spoke out, again and again, on behalf of the Vietnam vets who desperately needed support from the VA. Her grit and persistence got the Blue Water Navy bill through Congress and signed into law. Congrats on the win, Susie! Keep fighting. https://t.co/Mu6jpf7Fv2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Oral arguments in #TexasvUS begin today, a case intended to dismantle the Affordable Care Act that could leave millions across the country uninsured. Health care should be a basic human right. We must keep fighting these attempts to sabotage coverage for those who need it most. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

This is good news for our heroes. Once the House acts, @senatemajldr should put the bill on the Senate floor for an up or down vote without any delay. With 71 bipartisan cosponsors in the Senate, it will pass right away. Our 9/11 heroes deserve nothing less. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

4 NEW cosponsors were added today to the "Never Forget the Heroes: James Zadroga, Ray Pfeifer and Luis Alvarez Permanent Authorization of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund Act." This brings us to a bipartisan coalition of 71. Our heroes deserve action now. #Renew911VCF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Lou Alvarez, Ray Pfeifer, and James Zadroga devoted their lives to helping others. It's only fitting that our bill to permanently reauthorize the 9/11 VCF is named for these heroes. While Congress waits, more responders will get sick and die. Let's get this done without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Congratulations to the @USWNT for bringing home another World Cup title! Now Congress should bring home a win for these champions—and for all women—by working to secure equal pay. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Happy 4th of July! As we celebrate our nation and our democracy, and all who built it and fought for it, let’s also recognize all that we have left to do to get to that more perfect union. 🇺🇸 Hope you have a great holiday surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Lou, we can never thank you enough for your service, sacrifice, and advocacy. Rest assured that we'll fight as hard as you fought until your last days to ensure that the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund is permanently reauthorized. — PolitiTweet.org

These reports of migrant children being held in dire conditions at unlicensed facilities make clear that we face a humanitarian crisis. I've called on the Office of Refugee Resettlement to act to protect these children and reunite families immediately. https://t.co/emVRFnmPHh — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when our National Parks have a deferred maintenance backlog of nearly $12 billion, why are its critical resources being diverted to President Trump's outrageous political spectacle? Such an absolute waste. — PolitiTweet.org
