On #MemorialDay we honor and remember the brave members of our armed forces who gave their lives in service to this country. We are eternally grateful to them, their families, and everyone who has served. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

That's why I fought to establish a permanent 9/11 Health Program and Victim Compensation Fund, to ensure 9/11 heroes and their families have peace of mind while fighting their illnesses. We must never forget the sacrifices they made for us. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

9/11 heroes were exposed to a toxic cocktail of jet fuel, burning chemicals, and pulverized debris, and many are now sick or dying from respiratory illnesses or cancer. We can never thank them enough for their service and sacrifice — but we can ensure they are cared for. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

As we commemorate the anniversary of the end of recovery efforts at Ground Zero, we honor and remember the rescue and relief workers who worked so hard in the aftermath, especially those who lost their lives from illnesses related to toxic exposures. — PolitiTweet.org

The transformation of I-81 in Syracuse will reconnect communities torn apart by the construction of the highway. And we'll hire locally to do it.  https://t.co/i8nsIQcwVf — PolitiTweet.org

We need to take mental health care as seriously as we take our physical health. Mental health care is a right. #MentalHealthMonth https://t.co/IVcOx3Xa5B — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I'm proud to join my colleagues on the Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Anti-Semitism to introduce a resolution condemning the rise of antisemitic attacks. No one should have to live in fear like this. We must condemn these crimes against our neighbors, friends and family. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

U.S. government employees and their families have experienced attacks that've left them suffering from symptoms of "Havana Syndrome," including headaches, memory problems and brain damage. I'm cosponsoring the WIRE Act to make sure they get the high-quality health care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Filibustering a bipartisan commission to investigate the deadly violence of January 6th is absolutely shameful. Every single one of us who works in the Capitol — from the Senators to the support staff to the Capitol Police officers — deserved better. We need accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I am thrilled that @RepMarkTakano's legislative package includes presumptive coverage for all of the diseases covered by my Senate bill, and I’m proud to endorse it! It's time to get veterans the care they need and have earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Families need affordable child care. They need to have time to bond with new children or recover from a major illness without worrying about losing their paycheck. Paid leave and child care are infrastructure. And if we don't fight for them, we're leaving our job half done. https://t.co/K25ceBgBjx — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform our military justice system and secure justice for survivors of military sexual assault. It deserves a full floor vote. #MJIIPA https://t.co/1ndns5z1Zu — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

#MJIIPA would move the decision to prosecute serious crimes into the hands of trained military prosecutors — something our allies are already doing. It's a tried and tested system, supported by survivors and commanders. It's time to give this bill the full floor vote it deserves. https://t.co/CsZVX3DMRs — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Proud to be fighting beside you to make sure every child has a loving home like yours! #EveryChildDeservesAFamily — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Yesterday, the Senate passed a bipartisan amendment I introduced with @RogerMarshallMD demanding an investigation into the COVID-19 outbreak. If China continues to obfuscate, we demand a full, transparent investigation to include the U.S. and our allies. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @commondefense: We need true justice for survivors. We stand with @gillibrandny and support the #MJIIPA. https://t.co/XVR2KIjSCY — PolitiTweet.org

There are 400k+ children in foster care. But many families who want to give them a home have been denied. I'm cosponsoring #EveryChildDeservesAFamily to prevent foster care agencies from discriminating based on sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, or marital status. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act has the support of service members, commanders, veterans organizations, legal experts, and 65 bipartisan Senate cosponsors.   It deserves a full floor vote now. https://t.co/O2iEJ3jEpt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Eight more lives have been cut short by a senseless act of gun violence. My heart goes out to their families.   How many more families will have to endure this pain before we finally act to end the gun violence epidemic? — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

#MJIIPA is supported by @iava, @AmericanLegion, @ProtectRDfnders, @VFWHQ, @vvamerica, @commondefense, @servicewomen, @vets_rec_pro, @endsxlviolence, @ncadv, and the veterans and service members they represent.   Don’t silence their voices. Let this vote come to the floor. https://t.co/vsWa0pgGOA — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

UPDATE: @SenJohnKennedy signed on as a cosponsor to the Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act, bringing the total number of cosponsors to 65. Our bipartisan support is growing. It's time to hold a full floor vote and pass this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I will not allow the Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act to be watered down or undercut in conference or committee. It has the support of 64 bipartisan cosponsors, and it deserves a full floor vote. https://t.co/6DnM0PELyD — PolitiTweet.org

We now have a filibuster-proof, bipartisan majority of senators who support this legislation and want to enact this reform. But this vote is being denied AGAIN.   On behalf of the service members who do so much for our country — put #MJIIPA up for a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

In 2014, I asked for a vote on this bill. It had 55 votes – but it was filibustered.   In 2015, I asked for a vote. It earned majority support again, but was filibustered.   I asked for a vote in 2016, and 2017, and 2018, and 2019, and 2020. And I was denied every time. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Once again, I asked for unanimous consent for a floor vote on #MJIIPA.   Once again, the motion was objected to.    Our service members deserve better. We now have 64 bipartisan cosponsors. It's time to pass this bill and deliver justice. https://t.co/Gw7hrsSh4G — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

A surge of hate crimes and violence have targeted Asian Americans and Jewish New Yorkers. No one should have to live in fear like this. It's time for this violence, antisemitism, and racism to end — and it's on us to speak up and defend our family, friends, and neighbors. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Not during a pandemic — not ever. Thank you @POTUS. Let’s get this done! — PolitiTweet.org
