Some Tweets from Kirsten Gillibrand


  •  Pinned Tweet
    Whether it's "send her back" or "lock her up," "there has to be some form of punishment" or "grab her by the p***y"—the throughline is contempt for women and anyone who threatens this president's fragile ego. He should be afraid. We are his worst nightmare. And we will beat him.
  • Because certain elected officials a) refuse to believe climate change is real b) are funded by the fossil fuel industry, or c) all of the above
  • 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.
  • My faith is important to me. It's why I’m in public service. And I can't stand by and watch President Trump and Republicans use it as a shield for their hateful, inhumane treatment of vulnerable people.
  • I never compromise on my progressive values, yet I still get things done. And I think that's exactly what we need in our next president.
  • Team Gillibrand is proud to be canvassing for today in District 46! I know he'll be a strong fighter for the people of Ames in the Iowa State House. Remember to get out and vote—Election Day is August 6th!
  • 50 yrs ago today, we put a man on the moon. When President Kennedy made that our goal, he didn't know if it was possible. He just knew we should try. The Green New Deal is our moonshot. Let this be a reminder that when we're brave, we rise to the occasion—and we win. 📸:
  • We're having our first Iowa Day of Action tomorrow! We'll be talking to caucus-goers and organizing from river to river, building our grassroots team one person at a time—can you join us?
  • No one thought I could win my first House race except my mother. My opponent never took me seriously. When I got to Congress, people tried to tell me the fights I wanted to take on were impossible. I've done this before. And I can do it again.
  • Mark your calendar for Wednesday, July 31! I can't wait for the second debate, but I still need 130,000 donors to make sure I'm on the stage for the third and fourth. Can you chip in to help secure my spot?
  • I went on the Trump Broken Promises tour to do two things: Highlight the broken promises Trump made to working families, and prove that Democrats don't have to choose between firing up our base and winning back voters we lost. We can—and must—do both.
  • We just found out: I can't wait to take the debate stage on Wednesday, July 31! I'll be at that podium because of grassroots supporters—but my spot for the fall could be in jeopardy. If you value my voice in these debates, help send me to the next round:
  • "The passion that she communicated her positions today has left everybody in this room a Senator Gillibrand fan."
  • When you speak, I listen. I take notes. And then I do something about it. That's how public service is supposed to work. In this democracy, your voice should be just as important as the Koch brothers'. In my administration, it will be.
