Erica and I are deeply sorry for your loss, Jamie. Our hearts go out to you, Sarah and your entire family.

Happy New Year, #NY22! Wishing everyone a happy, safe, and healthy 2021.

Last year, President Trump signed our bipartisan bill into law to repeal the Health Insurance Tax & bring costs down for seniors on Medicare Advantage.

#COVID19 made our mission to expand access to care even more urgent. I'll keep working to get it done. https://t.co/ZJelKx741Q

Big social media companies must be held accountable for graphic content on their platforms.

We introduced #BiancasLaw to ensure no family ever has to endure the trauma the Devins family did after Bianca’s death. I'll keep working to get it passed. https://t.co/SlsKbLqgcZ

$600 is not enough to help the millions of Americans who are suffering. That's why I’m supporting the CASH Act to increase direct payments to $2,000.

Members of both parties & the President support $2,000 payments. Leader McConnell must pass this bill & help the American people.

[Rep. Anthony Brindisi @RepBrindisi]

Let's focus on the facts. The NDAA:

✅Gives our troops a pay raise
✅Strengthens protections against Russian/Chinese cyberattacks
✅Expands health care for our troops & Veterans

I will vote to override the President's veto today because our national security comes first.

Our broadband access survey showed that more than 80% of respondents were dissatisfied with their broadband service.

That’s why we’re working with the FCC to update their broadband maps and get more #NY22 schools, small businesses, and communities online. https://t.co/YEAhWjrspQ

On Monday, I will be back in Washington to vote for the CASH Act to send higher direct stimulus payments to working families.

Hopefully, the President can convince House and Senate Republican leaders to get on board.

It is a disgrace that on Christmas Eve an attempt to pass an increase to $2,000 for direct stimulus payments, as President Trump has called for, was blocked by House Republican leadership.

House Republicans shot down a Democratic bid to pass President Donald Trump’s longshot, end-of-session demand for $2,000 direct payments to most Americans. https://t.co/nJU1B2ShPI

- An expansion of mental health care services for Veterans
- Efforts to reduce the stigma surrounding PTSD for servicemembers

And much more.

We need to send a strong message that our national security is above partisan politics.

[Rep. Anthony Brindisi @RepBrindisi]

Pay raises for our troops and our national defense should not be dragged into a petty partisan fight.

This veto threatens jobs in our area, our national security, the crucial work done at Rome Lab, and a much-deserved pay raise for our troops - right before the holidays.

BREAKING: President Trump has vetoed annual defense policy bill, potentially setting up first override vote of his presidency. The bill affirms 3% pay raises for U.S. troops and authorizes more than $740 billion in military programs and construction.

https://t.co/SGbPRX6RA7

[Rep. Anthony Brindisi @RepBrindisi]

- A 3% pay raise for our troops
- $25 million for Rome Lab
- Funding for jobs building equipment in the Southern Tier
- Protections for the men and women at DFAS in Rome
- Support for Buy American provisions like the SPOONSS Act

[Rep. Anthony Brindisi @RepBrindisi]

Rome Lab and the Mohawk Valley play a crucial role in keeping our country safe. That’s why I worked with both parties to ensure our annual national defense legislation included a significant investment in Rome Lab and CNY’s defense industry. https://t.co/pBsL7TSwtJ

The hardworking union members in Ilion deserve a quality wage & their union-negotiated benefits.

New Remington’s attempts to bust the union & deny these men & women their benefits is unacceptable. @MineWorkers Local 717 have my full support in this fight.

We cannot lose focus, #NY22. COVID hospitalizations across New York State are at the highest level since May.

We can lower our case numbers by wearing masks, washing our hands, and getting tested for COVID as needed. We’re all in this together.   https://t.co/fWhTXNwFQ9

[Rep. Anthony Brindisi @RepBrindisi]

I supported the bipartisan coronavirus relief bill, but we must do more. Our state & local govts cannot be forced to bear the brunt of this pandemic. Any future relief package must include state & local aid so our communities can rebuild from COVID-19.
