12/15/2020 Tweet - "I worked to make sure the bipartisan #NDAA provides funding for two new military construction projects at Fort McCoy."
09/24/2020 Tweet - "Today, I introduced new legislation honoring the refugee and immigrant communities from Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia for their service and sacrifice during the deadly conflict in Southeast Asia. https://wispolitics.com/2020/u-s-sen-baldwin-introduces-legislation-authorizing-funding-for-humanitarian-assistance-programs-in-vietnam-laos-and-cambodia/"
07/20/2020 Tweet - "We should not provide military weapons of war to local police. That is why I support the bipartisan, 1033 amendment to the NDAA from @SenBrianSchatz. When people exercise their 1st Amendment rights we shouldn't turn neighborhoods into battlefields. #DemilitarizeThePolice"
07/17/2020 Tweet - "I cosponsored @brianschatz's 1033 amendment to the NDAA and next week we will have a vote in the Senate to pass it. With 60 votes we can #DemilitarizeThePolice because giving police departments tanks and tear gas doesn't make our communities safer."
04/30/2020 Tweet - "Wisconsin has been selected by the U.S. Navy to build new ships. This is a big win for our #MadeinWI economy right now and it will support thousands of skilled workers at the Marinette Marine shipyard and bring an additional 1,000 jobs."
02/28/2020 Tweet - "I support the Restoring Military Priorities Act of 2020, which would reverse and restore funding that Trump wants to take away from Wisconsin manufacturers. Our economy should not pay the price for his broken promises."
01/10/2020 Tweet - "The House passed a war powers resolution with bipartisan support. The Senate now needs to vote on our bipartisan war powers resolution to prevent further escalation of hostilities with Iran."
12/21/2019 Tweet - "I worked to make sure the defense spending bill includes a number of wins to support our veterans and our economy in Wisconsin. I'm pleased that we're continuing to invest in Wisconsin veterans, workers, manufacturers and our #MadeinWI economy."
10/14/2019 Tweet - "President Trump's betrayal of our Kurdish allies has put US forces at risk, created a humanitarian crisis for the Kurds, and opened the door for ISIS to gain strength in Syria and Iraq. @POTUS's blunder weakens the fight against terrorism and gives a greenlight to slaughter."
10/07/2019 Tweet - "It is a mistake for @POTUS to turn his back on the Kurds, this will strengthen ISIS & weaken efforts to fight terrorism. America should be working with our allies to create less conflict & tension in the Middle East, but the President is creating more problems in Syria and Iraq."
06/27/2019 Tweet - "Tomorrow we will have a vote on @SenatorTomUdall's bipartisan amendment to require the Trump administration to get authorization from Congress before beginning any military engagements with Iran. I will vote for it to prevent an unauthorized war with Iran."
06/22/2019 Tweet - "It's good @POTUS says he doesn't want war with Iran, the American people don't either. The Trump administration should work with our international partners to de-escalate tensions with Iran diplomatically and not escalate conflict in the Middle East militarily."
