11/04/2021 Tweet - "This is the Senate Judiciary Committee at its best: a bipartisan effort on an issue of importance to the cause of justice in our nation. That's why we're here. Thank you to Sen. @LindseyGrahamSC , Sen. @gillibrandny , & the numerous Senators from both parties supporting this bill."
07/25/2019 Tweet - "Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels isn't enough given the climate crisis we face. We have to phase out production--starting now. As president, I will work to get us to net-zero carbon and greenhouse gas emissions nationwide and across the economy."
07/22/2019 Tweet - "Women won the 2018 election cycle. They organized, turned out to vote, ran, and won in record numbers. We should listen to women's voices in our politics because they deserve to be heard--and we can't win without them."
07/21/2019 Tweet - "Abortion is already inaccessible for many. Overturning Roe would only put more people at risk and out of reach of health care, which is exactly what Republicans are planning for."
07/17/2019 Tweet - "There are a lot of people in America who feel left behind. Nobody facing job loss or lack of health care feels privileged. But we have to address everyone's suffering--and that means ensuring black and brown families don't bear the burden of institutional racism alone."
07/16/2019 Tweet - "As president, I'll make sure our government is one seniors can count on. My Aging With Dignity Plan will strengthen Social Security and Medicare, reduce drug costs, and enact paid family leave: https://medium.com/team-gillibrand/my-aging-with-dignity-plan-to-support-americas-seniors-2a63c8ccc76c … Excited to discuss with @AARP and @DMRegister in Iowa today!"
07/16/2019 Tweet - "11 times. "I can't breathe." This is an outrage. Eric should be alive, and the Garner family deserves justice. The NYPD should make their findings public, and take steps to ensure this officer is no longer on the force."
07/13/2019 Tweet - "It's hard to put into words what we're seeing our government do to immigrants. There can no longer be any doubt that this is a politically-driven crisis, a violation of human rights, and an atrocity. It has to stop. What more will it take?"
07/13/2019 Tweet - "The Trump administration's family separation policy is a stain on our country. Now, they're doubling down on their cruelty with their threat of raids. Every minute this crisis proceeds is an indictment on our humanity--and every one of us needs to refuse to comply."
07/13/2019 Tweet - "We can acknowledge both the painful realities of institutional racism and the economic hardships many white people face. We need policy solutions both broad and targeted to make sure everyone in this country has a fair shot at opportunity."
07/11/2019 Tweet - "This year, President Trump suggested cutting $25 billion from Social Security--after promising that he wouldn't cut programs like Social Security and Medicare. He lied. I don't. I met with voters in Cleveland to share how I'll strengthen Social Security: https://medium.com/team-gillibrand/he-broke-it-well-fix-it-91ccfa69d763 …"
06/28/2019 Tweet - "I will keep fighting for comprehensive immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship. And it's absurd that I even have to say this, but I will: I would not divert border security funds into for-profit prisons to lock up children and asylum seekers. #DemDebate"
06/27/2019 Tweet - "President Trump said he was ten minutes away from starting a war with Iran--without ever asking Congress. We need a real commander in chief. #DemDebate"
06/06/2019 Tweet - "Trump may think this is a game, but these are people's lives we're talking about. And he's hurting them. We must protect and strengthen programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security--not make debilitating cuts to their funding."
