Emergency red flag laws—court orders that enable separation of people from guns when they’re a risk to themselves/others—depend on effective enforcement. Congress should provide funding & DOJ expertise & other support to enhance these lifesaving tools.https://t.co/GYGJwp3SqN — PolitiTweet.org

Today in CT we crossed a somber, gut-wrenching milestone—over 8,000 lives lost to COVID-19. This virus has taken so much from our friends, families, & loved ones. My heart goes out to all who have suffered such tragic loss. — PolitiTweet.org

The Big Cat Public Safety Act would help stop exploitation of big cats like tigers & lions, & reduce safety risks. I’m thankful for the groundswell of public support for this bill & look forward to working with my colleagues from both sides of the aisle to ensure it becomes law. — PolitiTweet.org

A vote for No Hate. Deeply grateful & excited that the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, which I’ve championed for years, looks likely to be on the voting calendar in the coming days, combined with other vitally important hate crime legislation. Great steps forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Standing with great building trades workers & businesses at one of the worst traffic choke points in CT, I-91/I-15I/691 in Meriden. No question that big, bold investments must be made through President Biden’s infrastructure program—saving time, money, & accident costs. https://t.co/2I6TobU7ep — PolitiTweet.org

Using Tesla’s driverless system—or any other—shouldn’t be a death risk. Advancements in driving technology must first & foremost be safe. A NHTSA investigation, along with comprehensive oversight, is paramount to prevent future semi-automated driving deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Peloton’s defiance&denial are beyond dangerous. Although the CPSC needs to be empowered&emboldened (more resources&authority), consumers deserve warnings. Right now—blistering, blazing alarms. An investigation by other agencies of deceptive company claims also seems in order. — PolitiTweet.org
