We can solve this problem and I’m proud to announce bold reforms to get us there. My new legislation with @RepKarenBass—the #BuildLocalHireLocal Act—will reimagine American infrastructure investment to put struggling workers and communities first. https://t.co/fGVC1u02GV — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about these policies—& how they’ve affected communities across the country, not just NY. How can we learn from past mistakes? And how can we use infrastructure spending to strengthen unions, revitalize manufacturing and create much-needed jobs? https://t.co/zFzbhhnw2N — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

I'll give an example of one of those mistakes. The construction of I-81 profoundly affected communities of color in Syracuse, NY, severing residents from the broader community and limiting economic opportunities. The effects are still felt today. https://t.co/uffKqfI6Jt — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Too much of our nation’s infrastructure—roads, bridges, water systems—is in disrepair and we urgently need to rebuild it. But when we do, we shouldn't repeat our government’s mistakes from the last century by building barriers that further marginalize disadvantaged communities. — PolitiTweet.org

With all due respect, this isn’t paid leave. It's another proposal that would force working families to borrow from their own futures. Americans deserve a real national paid leave program for the full range of caregiving needs. That’s the #FAMILYAct—the best plan to get behind. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

From Brownsville, Brooklyn to Gilroy, CA, communities across the country were devastated by gun violence this weekend. My heart breaks for the victims and their families—and it breaks because these are all too common. We must do everything we can to end this national crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

We promised to never forget the sacrifices of our 9/11 heroes. Today, our government finally made good on that promise. #Renew911VCF https://t.co/Ff8xAnoUu2 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The 9/11 VCF reauthorization bill became the law of the land today. Now, 9/11 first responders, survivors, & their families can finally have some peace of mind as they fight illnesses linked to their sacrifice. I'm so grateful to all who helped pass this bill. #Renew911VCF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

If we really want to drain the swamp, we should start by taking on private equity and giving power back to working people. That’s why I’m so proud to cosponsor the Stop Wall Street Looting Act with @SenWarren, @SenSherrodBrown and @SenatorBaldwin. Here’s what it does: https://t.co/ob7QJsh9eX — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The Supreme Court ruling allowing @realDonaldTrump to raid military funds in the name of a wasteful and ineffective border wall could now put national security projects at risk. Totally absurd. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

New York joined the union on this day in 1788. Couldn't be more proud to serve our beautiful state and to help carry us forward to the future. Happy birthday, New York! I have to say, 231 looks great on you. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

This administration has no compassion. Millions of Americans—working families, children, seniors—rely on SNAP to get enough to eat. Now, we must witness yet another cruel proposal that would literally take away their access to food. https://t.co/nESf6GGGRD — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Yesterday, I had the chance to sit with @TheRevAl and Gwen Carr, Eric Garner’s mother, for a discussion on criminal justice reform and the need for Congressional hearings on police misconduct and social justice. Looking forward to working with them in the weeks and months ahead. https://t.co/KS3hNYfK4f — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Special Counsel Mueller made clear to the American people that his report did not fully exonerate the president, contrary to those lies. We should have impeachment proceedings with additional witnesses so that the American people can get the truth, as they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The Senate finally lived up to the promise to “Never Forget” by passing the bill to #Renew911VCF, 97-2. This day is long overdue. Now, our 9/11 heroes can finally exhale and go home to be with their families. I urge President Trump to immediately sign the bill into law. https://t.co/XiNrIJ88W9 — PolitiTweet.org

I voted against Mark Esper for Defense Secretary. He fundamentally misunderstands the discriminatory effect of the military transgender ban. He's not prepared to truly address military sexual assault. Moreover, I oppose his views on the use of old AUMFs to continue hostilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

The 9/11 first responders ran into harm’s way to save lives at one of the darkest moments of our history. As many of them suffer from or succumb to illnesses incurred by their heroism, they deserve peace of mind that we’ll stand by them for the rest of their lives. #Renew911VCF https://t.co/Kiu194EcZQ — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Proud of our state for taking the lead in the fight against climate change. This landmark law will put NYS on the path to achieving net-zero carbon emissions while creating thousands of jobs – and should serve as a model for the rest of the country. https://t.co/9GdV7ZNgPv — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

My deepest condolences go to Richard Driscoll’s family, the 200th firefighter we have lost. 200 of our bravest. The Senate can honor their memory and pass the 9/11 VCF bill on Tuesday. #Renew911VCF — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

We’ve secured time to vote on our 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund bill next Tuesday. 18 years after 9/11, this is so long overdue. We have to finish the job so that our heroes never have to walk the halls of Congress again—now, we finally have the chance. #Renew911VCF https://t.co/3VQIvycMOE — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, the 9/11 First Responder community lost another hero, all while Congress stalled for yet another day to pass the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund Bill. Do we need any more reason to act? Sending my heartfelt condolences to the Nolan family and their loved ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Sick and dying 9/11 responders have been coming back to Congress year after year to beg for a permanent compensation program. We could've passed the bill to help them today. Instead, @RandPaul & @SenMikeLee blocked it. Enough is enough. Let's pass this with no further delay. https://t.co/utdREpBWVp — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand @gillibrandny

Amazed that one lone Republican just objected to this desperately needed, urgent bill. Enough of the political games. Our 9/11 responders and the nation are watching to see if this body has the will to do the right thing. Let’s not fail our heroes. #Renew911VCF — PolitiTweet.org
