DOJ prosecutors are rightly following the facts & law—& money—as thoroughly & swiftly as possible. A new AG will embolden pursuit of justice. https://t.co/q8K8bbTwzp — PolitiTweet.org

Universal background checks, which 90%+ of Americans support, shouldn't be controversial—it should be law. I’m proud to join an amazing group of advocates to demand action on HR8. No check, no sale is key to ending our country's scourge of gun violence. #BackgroundChecksNow — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No check, no sale, should be the rule when it comes to buying a gun. The Senate must follow the House’s lead & pass universal background checks & legislation to close the Charleston loophole. We have no time to waste. — PolitiTweet.org

Consumers have seen a surge of pandemic scams—insidious, false claims for vaccines, masks, & more. Proud of the American Rescue Plan’s additional funding to help protect consumers against the rising tide of con artists & to fight scammers seeking to exploit the COVID-19 crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m glad to see DOJ fighting for college athletes at the Supreme Court. For far too long the NCAA has imposed undue constraints that serve its financial interests, not those of the athletes. — PolitiTweet.org

Lina Khan has built her reputation as an antitrust all-star. We need FTC commissioners who will get serious about Big Tech’s monopolistic power. Between her academic resume & time working with Congress & the FTC, Lina Khan is just the person to rise to the challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you @jordyn_wieber & all the survivors for your courage & conviction. I will continue to work tirelessly to get this critical report released. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am incredibly proud of Democratic leaders in Congress & the Biden Administration for this major achievement. Our work isn’t over, but this legislation just gave us a huge lift. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This legislation reinforces a social safety net that has been shredded by years of indifference & neglect, & makes a historic commitment to the American families that have struggled to keep the lights on for far, far too long. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The American Rescue Plan will put money in people’s pockets & shots in their arms. It makes major investments in vaccine distribution, frontline health workers, small businesses, & schools, but its value is even greater than the $1.9 trillion it'll pour back into our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Garland’s confirmation today as AG means a new day dawning at DOJ. A win for the good guys in the fight for justice. A moment of hope for restoring integrity & intellect at the top. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Money in people’s pockets, shots in their arms, tax credits for kids, & much more after approval of this big, bold rescue plan—now requiring support for agencies to get it done. IRS, HHS, & other agencies are key to making this rescue real, quickly. https://t.co/TstqlBJDMf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As we recognize Traumatic Brain Injury Awareness Month, I will continue to fight to get anyone suffering from the memory, movement, sensation, & emotional impacts of TBI the support they deserve. https://t.co/hKjr7ljeOa — PolitiTweet.org

Robust investment in strategic defense tools—like submarines—will keep our country secure & our state’s economy strong. I was happy to hear Admiral Davidson’s commitment to support the production of additional subs. https://t.co/daYUYSfLLF — PolitiTweet.org

#InternationalWomensDay is a celebration of women’s amazing achievements, but also a call to action. We must continue to empower women & fight to create a world that is more equitable for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This big & bold legislation meets the urgency of this moment. CT is estimated to receive around $4B—aid vital for vaccine distribution, reopening schools, & supporting first responders. We’ve said from the start we must turnaround the health crisis to end the economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The American Rescue Plan is key to both CT & the country conquering the pandemic & putting America back to work. We listened to the people about what they wanted & extended unemployment benefits, nutrition assistance, housing aid & support for small businesses & countless others. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Good morning from the Capitol. No matter how long it takes, we are going to keep voting round-the-clock to pass the big, bold American Rescue Plan. The American people need this COVID relief—now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For years I’ve called on the FDA to set a strong standard to remove harmful heavy metals from baby food. Swift, concrete action by the FDA is needed—our children deserve nothing less. https://t.co/Jh4N5LQWdf — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenatorMenendez let’s get this rescue plan across the finish line so we can deliver immediate COVID relief to American workers & families. Our constituents desperately need this assistance to help beat this pandemic & save our economy. @JeffMerkley—are you in? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Delaying Garland’s AG confirmation endangers national security in the midst of the rising threat of domestic terrorism. As Republicans impede approval of the nation’s chief law enforcer, the Capitol remains in lockdown & violent extremists continue plotting. — PolitiTweet.org

Top-line troop-level transparency is critical for holding our military operations accountable. I am hopeful SecDef Austin will keep his commitment to regularly report these numbers. — PolitiTweet.org

I just finished a terrific call with Susan Rice & her team. Clearly, President Biden & his administration care deeply about taking meaningful action on gun violence prevention. The time is now to work collaboratively—& stop the scourge of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org
