Thanks for an important discussion today in Hartford. Children are suffering right now - the uncertainty and see-saw of routine during the pandemic have led to elevated levels of depression and anxiety in our kids. We need to do better to address this upsurge in demand. — PolitiTweet.org

How are we being "played"? Here the Lebanon minister simply says he's friends with our ambassador. That's bad? On the gas deal, it's a good deal bc it helps Lebanon, hurts Hezbollah, and likely doesn't require a Syria sanctions waiver. We must assure Lebanon does not collapse. — PolitiTweet.org

This was the right move, and one that I have been pushing the Administration to make. America needs to put its money where its mouth is on human rights in Egypt. — PolitiTweet.org

In the middle of this cold spell, I met today in New Haven with the folks who run the heating and fuel assistance programs in Connecticut. Thanks to the #AmericanRescuePlan there more help than ever this year for people who can’t afford to keep the heat on. https://t.co/BQjSBgrZJb — PolitiTweet.org

Picked a 20 degree morning to go out with the crew of the Bollard, a U.S. Coast Guard ice breaker, to break ice on the Connecticut River. So grateful to the Coast Guard for what they do to keep Connecticut’s waters navigable. https://t.co/SS7ytKXngb — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #HolocaustRemembranceDay but every single day we must pay tribute to those who perished through our current actions and deeds. Standing up for human rights and against dangerous demagoguery is the key to making sure that this horror never happens again. https://t.co/35QaO3lhVb — PolitiTweet.org

The two big hits in the 2004 postseason get deservedly looped in Ortiz highlight reels. But if you rewatch every game of the playoffs that year (and I have) it's just incredible how many big hits he had. At almost every pivotal moment, Ortiz picked up the team by its bootstraps. https://t.co/n0ZOzj05by — PolitiTweet.org

Listen, it's hard to negotiate with Putin when his complaint - that the West wants to invade Russia - is complete fantasy. The "negotiation" becomes a solution searching in the pitch dark for a problem. — PolitiTweet.org

I met today in Trumbull with Connecticut grocers to talk about the supply chain crunch. Omicron is the primary culprit, but there just aren’t enough people going into supply chain jobs right now. We need to fix this, starting with better wages and more legal immigration. https://t.co/mM96VKzEQJ — PolitiTweet.org

Stopped into deliver some food to the workers at Norwalk Hospital today. Also listened to what they need from Congress right now. I’m so grateful for our frontline health workforce. https://t.co/0dBg4sIbtZ — PolitiTweet.org

4/ We also leaned that the testing turnaround time is 2-3 days. For a packed prison, this is too long. Why hasn’t the BOP invested in quicker testing systems to better manage the populations? So many questions that need to answered. — PolitiTweet.org

3/ From what we gathered, around 40% of inmates are in either isolation or quarantine. Plus, the facility is badly understaffed. This poses a major risk to both inmates and staff and it must be addressed. — PolitiTweet.org

2/ My impression is the decision to limit our access came from well above the warden. She is managing the best she can. DOJ and the Bureau of Prisons needs to fix this and assure that policymakers can view conditions, especially during crisis moments like this. — PolitiTweet.org

1/ This morning Senator Blumenthal and I went to view conditions at Danbury Federal Prison, where there has been a massive COVID outbreak. We were denied access to the women’s facility and had to fight to get into a men’s unit. This is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
