Vaccinations are key to winning our fight against this pandemic. I’m proud to have worked with a bipartisan group to pass legislation that ensures all vets are able to get the COVID-19 vaccine through the VA. — PolitiTweet.org

A gigantic victory for a uniquely precious treasure we’ve sought to save—giant peaks & vast canyons, home to hugely valuable wildlife, protected by this National Marine Monument. Obama created it, Trump tried to destroy it (of course), now Biden has restored it. Hurrah! — PolitiTweet.org

PURA agrees with my assessment of Eversource’s Isaias performance—utility malpractice, based on the many complaints from constituents.  Now PURA must deny any recovery from ratepayers. https://t.co/MMdmKtwHW1 — PolitiTweet.org

All of Congress should unite behind the NO HATE Act, which I’m proud to lead with & @RepDonBeyer & @RepJudyChu. It will spur fuller hate crimes reporting & other action to stop this insidious surge of violence against Asian Americans & other minorities. https://t.co/341IoJmWpA — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to serve with him in the state legislature & count him as a friend. My deepest condolences go to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

David Pudlin was a fierce, relentless advocate for the voiceless & vulnerable—a champion of working men & women. He deeply cared about human values like health care & education opportunity, & fought for them in & out of public office. https://t.co/0ncx3OY3Vx — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Whether in the legislature, DMV or his town, he was all in. He shared generously & boundlessly—his wisdom & insights, his laughter & sometimes tears. He was a mensch. I was proud to have him as a friend. My heart goes out to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Billy Ciotto was a giant—as a public servant, a courageous leader, family man & friend & mentor to so many. He was passionately dedicated to his community & state. https://t.co/sFpfKVGgMB — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Very excited & inspired to see Meriden Health Dept at Maloney High School vaccinating teachers & ed staff—helping to do in person learning safely.  Thanks to @kmscarpati for his leadership & American Rescue Plan with $1.1 billion for CT to reopen even more schools. https://t.co/bjbivamQMz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Underreporting of hate crimes—especially against the AAPI community—has silenced cries for help & sabotaged action. My NO HATE Act would spur fuller reporting—as well as provide better police training & accountability for perpetrators. Prevent & prosecute are watchwords. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The status quo of treating college athletes like cogs in the NCAA’s multi-million dollar profit pumping machine has gone on for too long. Real, meaningful change needs to happen. That’s why @SenBooker & I introduced the College Athletes Bill of Rights Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Deeply unacceptable. On so many levels the NCAA needs to do better—there is absolutely no excuse for this sexist, unequal treatment. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Grassroots efforts are so critical to ensuring that underserved populations get vaccinated. I’ve seen first-hand CT community health clinics’ amazing work to address vaccine concerns & help people learn how to access their COVID-19 shot. https://t.co/JP2dQ305pX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Hate crimes against Asian Americans are abhorrent & un-American—a surge fueled by public officials’ validating or failing to denounce them. They’re also linked to white supremacy & violent extremism, a vicious threat highlighted by recent intel reports. https://t.co/JFDABVkB3B — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In Congress, we must do everything in our power to combat & overcome violent extremism & hate-fueled domestic terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

White supremacy & all forms of domestic violent extremism are a cancer that is metastasizing across the country in the form of assaults, attacks, harassment, & discrimination. It is our moral imperative to denounce these groups & their dangerous, anti-American ideologies. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

If you, or someone you know, is in need of help or support, domestic violence services are accessible 24/7 through #CTSafeConnect by calling or texting (888) 774-2900 or at https://t.co/kaqRS6ktcD. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

When a gun is available, domestic violence is 5x more likely to turn deadly. For the sake of domestic violence victims, we need to help end this senseless cycle of violence. Let's pass the Lori Jackson Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act & close this dangerous loophole. https://t.co/phkU5NGJnL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Predatory for-profit colleges maliciously lined their pockets while leaving students with mountains of debt & without a useable diploma. Cardona’s decision to issue full financial relief to these students starts to right the past admin’s wrongs. https://t.co/NL2r66bpi7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The road to building back better runs through modernizing our crumbling infrastructure, investing in disadvantaged communities, & reducing carbon emissions. I’m proud to join the #BuildGreen Act with @SenWarren & @SenMarkey. The time to invest in our future & climate is now. https://t.co/SbDZUlxdfU — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Xavier Becerra’s confirmation is a bright spot for America. He will be the brave & visionary leader HHS needs to address head-on the immense health care challenges & disparities our country faces. https://t.co/xKSLjPJTgY — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The increase in violence against Asian Americans, & hate crimes overall, must end. In Congress, we must do everything in our power to provide the resources & tools needed to overcome & prevent this bigoted violence. One critical step forward—pass the NO HATE Act. https://t.co/TLqCXIgeTW — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We have seen a sickening, despicable rise in violence towards Asian Americans. Hate crimes are corrosive to our social fabric. They corrupt the pillars of our society. Their effect is unmistakable—they traumatize & terrorize the communities that are their targets. https://t.co/90h1Yf0q33 — PolitiTweet.org

Our cyber defense has been haunted & hindered by a failure of resolve, information silos between agencies, inadequate public disclosure, & a lack of deterrence. We need leadership from the White House to signal clear bright lines to our adversaries & clean up this mess. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Microsoft Exchange & SolarWinds hacks are a resounding demonstration that our adversaries don't fear the consequences of crossing our red lines. For too long, we have had no coherent, comprehensive strategy to defend our cyber security. — PolitiTweet.org
