I’ve seen first-hand her combination of deep compassion, clear-eyed conviction, & consistent courage—with countless different people whose lives she has touched. — PolitiTweet.org

This is a supremely stellar selection by the Biden Administration. Miriam Delphin-Rittmon has expertly led CT through numerous mental health & substance abuse challenges, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Local organizations are critical when it comes to combating gun violence. It was an honor to meet with these heroes & peace-builders to talk about Biden’s Community Violence Intervention initiative. I’ll keep fighting to get the funding necessary to support your vital work. https://t.co/ImcB12WojE — PolitiTweet.org

Current regulatory constraints allow companies to call the shots on how & when to notify the public about their hazardous products. The bill @janschakowsky , @RepBobbyRush & I introduced will eliminate these constraints, restoring transparency to product safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Sunshine in Product Safety Act puts consumer safety first. CPSC must be able to move swiftly to warn Americans when products like the Peloton Tread+ & the Fisher-Price Rock ’n Play Sleeper pose a danger to them & their families. https://t.co/uHmAKIC7aL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Across the country & world, millions of LGBTQ+ youth still face discrimination & harassment just for being their true selves. On today’s #DayofSilence, we stand with you & support you for who you are. https://t.co/rKPVXrcchm — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Since 2005, gun manufacturers’ sweetheart deal has closed the courthouse doors to countless victims & families. This has to change. The gun industry must be held accountable for endangering American lives. I join @RepAdamSchiff to demand Congress #RepealPLCAA. — PolitiTweet.org

To all interested high school freshmen, sophomores, & juniors—the CT Congressional Delegation will be holding a military service academy informational session on Tuesday, May 4th. Register here to learn more: https://t.co/iAbHdiN0k3 https://t.co/xwwcBZvI3N — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We find ourselves in a moment of reckoning for true justice, equality, & equity. Thank you @SenBooker for chairing today’s hearing & continuing the conversation on ways we can improve policing in America. There is an overwhelming need for real action, real reform, & real change. https://t.co/t1drAB7GTf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Climate change is an existential crisis. This #EarthDay I remain committed to addressing its real, immediate threats to our environment, health, & economy. The time is now for bold action to protect our precious planet for generations to come. https://t.co/yvqwGmNuwJ — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @RepDonBeyer & your team for all of the hard work helping to champion this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Ahead of next Tuesday’s hearing in my Consumer Protection Subcommittee, I have a message for those with shifty, shadowy business interests that are happy with this decision: I see your attacks on consumers & massive lobbying campaign—& I’m going to fight vigorously against it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This Supreme Court decision deals a devastating blow to the @FTC & consumers—seemingly turning the agency into a paper tiger. Hundreds of millions of dollars stolen by scammers, fraudsters, & corporate bad actors won’t be returned to people’s pocketbooks.https://t.co/298io2C1hW — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today's vote on the NO HATE Act honors the memory of Heather Heyer & Khalid Jabara, & the thousands of others who have been victims of these un-American, abhorrent, bigoted crimes. Today we make a statement that we will not accept these violent acts of hate. https://t.co/eYSORZgn5e — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The deaths of Heather Heyer & Khalid Jabara are tragic examples of our broken hate crime reporting system. To stop this scourge of violence we need better data to implement comprehensive, meaningful solutions. We need the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE ACT. https://t.co/j5U1ue6mHO — PolitiTweet.org

We are at a unique moment for our nation's economy—one of recovery, but at the same time seeking greater equity & competition that ultimately benefits consumers. Lina Khan is, indeed, the right person for this FTC position. https://t.co/vw6uFPPdFs — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

.@linamkhan has deep expertise & insight, & frankly, the guts & grit that she demonstrated already to stand up to powerful corporations & special interests that now threaten competition in our country. https://t.co/Hy9TGN01Tw — PolitiTweet.org

Please remember you are not alone. Help is available. The Veterans Crisis Line is open & ready to talk anytime day or night at (800)273-8255 or via text 838255. https://t.co/uNbDouzd8L — PolitiTweet.org

We're in the midst of a veterans suicide emergency: 2/3 of all veteran suicides involve a firearm. This bill would give more VA employees, community care providers, & caregivers vital trainings to better address veterans’ mental health needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Lethal Means Safety Training Act would give veterans in crisis the support they need when they need it most. Trained health professionals can help build more time & space between a veteran at risk of suicide & lethal means like firearms. — PolitiTweet.org

Basic keyless ignition safety standards—mandated by the PARK IT Act—are overdue. It will force DOT to issue rules that would avert injuries & deaths. Preventing carbon monoxide poisonings & rollaway incidents can save lives. https://t.co/5kF9ndBTbc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

True justice would be George Floyd alive today, but this guilty verdict provides emphatic, necessary accountability. No verdict in a single case can eliminate racism or correct the injustice that continues to afflict our country. There is so much more work to do. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Passing Jaime’s Law & requiring background checks on purchases of ammunition is common sense. Thank you @fred_guttenberg for your fearless advocacy. Let’s #CloseTheAmmoLoophole. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There’s no way to bring back Randell Jones & nothing that will fill the void of grief felt by his family. This tragedy can only redouble our determination to end the epidemic of gun violence. https://t.co/UN5OZSc8Yx — PolitiTweet.org
