09/09/2020 Tweet - "President Trump reportedly called military heroes "losers" and "suckers" The White House tried to deny it but he's said nearly the same thing out loud, on video before I just joined @SenDuckworth and @SenateDems to demand the Senate condemn Trump's comments Senate GOP objected"
08/20/2020 Tweet - "USPS is the only mail service that can deliver to our military overseas. Making absentee voting more difficult disenfranchises the very Americans who serve and sacrifice on the front lines in defense of our right to vote. That's unacceptable."
08/11/2020 Tweet - "President Trump: You must restore full funding to all states for their National Guard response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This support is critical within our states to supporting the health and well-being of millions of Americans. From @SenatorLeahy , @SenateDems & me:"
08/05/2020 Tweet - "It's shameful that President Trump is again politicizing the frontline work of our National Guard. Every state should be fully reimbursed for their National Guard deployments in fighting COVID."
07/04/2020 Tweet - "We should all be outraged by this tragedy. I'm praying for Vanessa Guillén's family. I'm joining @GillibrandNY & @RepSpeier in calling for a full investigation into her disappearance and death. We must fight to prevent sexual harassment and assault, and for our troops' safety."
07/02/2020 Tweet - "Force protection is a primary purpose of intelligence. It should have the same importance to the Commander-in-Chief. Any reports of threats on our troops must be pursued relentlessly. From @SpeakerPelosi and me after the briefing this morning:"
07/02/2020 Tweet - "Whether it is an unrelenting COVID killing Americans or Putin's malign actions endangering our troops, President Trump has the same reaction: stick his head in the sand and do nothing."
07/01/2020 Tweet - "I dare President Trump to veto this vital bill that contains a pay increase for our troops in the name of protecting the Confederacy. The amendment is in the bill, it's bipartisan, and it will stay in the bill. President Trump: If you want to veto this legislation, make our day."
06/30/2020 Tweet - "As commander in chief, the president has no more serious duty than to do right by the Americans in uniform who protect our country. The least Pres. Trump could do is promise to get to the bottom of these allegations and hold Putin and his cronies accountable for their actions."
06/30/2020 Tweet - "It's being reported that the US is investigating a 2019 Russian bounty attack that killed 3 US Marines, including one from Locust Valley, New York and another who worked as a firefighter in the FDNY for 15 years. On behalf of New York and the American people, I demand answers."
06/30/2020 Tweet - "It's been 5 days since media reports informed the world of Putin's alleged bounty program. What has Pres. Trump done? He hasn't condemned it. He hasn't told service members and their families he will investigate it. He hasn't directed action against Putin. He's done nothing."
06/29/2020 Tweet - "Our solemn obligation is to support and protect American troops. If Russian intelligence is supporting a shadow campaign to kill American troops, there must be swift and strong and unmistakable consequences for Putin and his cronies."
06/29/2020 Tweet - "If we've learned anything from the past 3 years, it's that President Trump is inclined to ignore or forgive Putin's abuses. If Russian intelligence is supporting a shadow campaign to kill U.S. troops, there must be swift, strong consequences for Putin and his cronies."
06/29/2020 Tweet - "I'm calling for an immediate briefing from the Directors of National Intelligence and the CIA for all 100 Senators on reports that Russia placed bounties on US Troops in Afghanistan. We also need to know whether or not President Trump was told this information, and if so, when."
06/26/2020 Tweet - "The Ninth Circuit's decision makes clear that the Trump administration's attempt--supported by Senate Republican enablers--to redirect funds Congress already appropriated for military families and counter-drug programs violates the law."
06/18/2020 Tweet - "This is a wonderful, wonderful day for the young Dreamers, for their families, for the American Dream. They work hard. They are on the frontlines of COVID-19, in the Armed Forces, in school and college. We have always believed in immigration in America. It is part of our soul."
06/03/2020 Tweet - "People in America and worldwide look at the images and see troops dressed for combat flanking Lincoln Memorial Lincoln urged: Malice toward none Charity for all Bind up our nation's wounds No greater contrast to Pres. Trump--who seems to have malice toward all, charity for none"
05/28/2020 Tweet - "Thank you to all of the members of the National Guard protecting communities in New York and around the country in this crisis. President Trump should never have left these frontline workers in limbo about the benefits they deserve. This decision is long overdue."
05/25/2020 Tweet - "This Memorial Day, we remember those who gave the last full measure of devotion serving our country. We owe them and their families a debt we can never repay."
