Gov. DeSantis suing the CDC is a craven political stunt pandering to cruise companies. He seems to care more about their profits than passengers at risk of COVID-19. No way should the CDC send cruise ships to sea now. https://t.co/qHiIAjSzGh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Exactly, @RepAdamSchiff. Our legislation will give victims of gun violence their day in court & unlock the doors to justice—repealing the sweetheart deal that prevents the gun lobby from being sued. #RepealPLCAA — PolitiTweet.org

On Yom HaShoah we remember the millions of Jews & countless others murdered during the Holocaust. We honor their memories & recommit to creating a world without hate, anti-Semitism, & intolerance. These acts of evil must never happen again. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Together, we represent communities throughout the country & viewpoints across the political spectrum, which is just one reason why I think this bill is so powerful. Congress should take up this legislation ASAP. There is no time to waste when it comes to stopping hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m proud of the bipartisan coalition—including @JerryMoran, @RepDonBeyer, @RepFredUpton, @RepJudyChu, & @VernBuchanan—we’ve built to advance the NO HATE Act & grateful for the backing of so many leading advocacy & law enforcement organizations. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The rise in hate crimes is so insidious because it harms & terrorizes individuals & entire communities. By passing the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, Congress can provide the tools necessary to stop the underreporting of these crimes & get the info needed to end this bigoted violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A stirring, searing call to action from the President—real action not merely rhetoric. He wears his heart on his sleeve. Congress must now match his courage. 📷: @ChrisMurphyCT https://t.co/ReRtaHf82y — PolitiTweet.org

Just left the White House listening to President Biden speak with such power, eloquence, passion about the moral imperative for gun violence prevention. — PolitiTweet.org

Sad to learn of Gary Bimonte’s passing. When you think of pizza, you think of Pepe’s. My thoughts are with his family during this difficult time. Thank you, Gary, for many great slices & memories. — PolitiTweet.org

Greetings to so many heroes—families who’ve endured gun violence & its grief & pain, advocates like @GabbyGiffords @fred_guttenberg @po_murray & @markbardenSHP, all at today's Rose Garden event. Excitement, anticipation, hope, solemnity all mix on this beautiful sun-filled day. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Arriving at the White House for President Biden’s announcement of historic gun violence prevention executive action. Every corner of America is impacted by this violence & I look forward to working with the President to pass commonsense policy that will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A powerful & chilling warning from a survivor on the terrifying increase in grooming, exploitation, & abuse of children online. @LindseyGrahamSC & my EARN IT Act will finally hold Big Tech accountable for this crime against kids. Change cannot wait. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The commonsense steps the Biden Admin is taking will save lives & prevent injuries & trauma that ripple through every corner of America. But executive orders from one president can be changed by another, so strong & effective laws to prevent gun violence are still critical. 7/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This public health epidemic demands a comprehensive, “whole of government” solution. Bold & inclusive investments in evidence-based, community-violence intervention programs will address the daily toll of gun violence—& its disproportionate impact on communities of color. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org

There is no reason that a gun built in your kitchen should be treated any differently that one bought in a store. 5/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The action on ghost guns will protect against untraceable, homemade weapons that no law abiding gun owner would want. We’ve seen a large increase in the sale & use of these dangerous DIY weapons since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, making this action all the more urgent. 4/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

ERPO laws are already on the books in 19 states & DC & a model bill that provides best practices & critical guidance will help even more states follow suit. 3/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m especially glad to see steps to expand ERPO laws. For years, I’ve worked to provide additional support for states seeking to help law enforcement take action when there is solid evidence that someone is in crisis—intensely & imminently a danger to themselves or to others. 2/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This is the most significant executive action on gun violence in a generation. These actions set a model of courage & strength that Congress must now match. 1/7 — PolitiTweet.org

This great training program targeting women to be welders & iron workers, which is run by the Ironworkers Local 15, shows the way to providing skills vital to revitalizing infrastructure. A wonderful example for President Biden, Congress, & the nation. https://t.co/NsJ36LKmUf — PolitiTweet.org

Judge out at Eversource is welcome news, but we need more than a change at the top. Our electric utilities should be accountable to the people, not shareholders. Joe Nolan must make customer service & lowering rates his number one priority. I will be watching his actions closely. — PolitiTweet.org
