Closing this glaring loophole six years ago would have stopped the Charleston shooter from walking out of a store with a gun he was already legally ineligible to buy. Enough is enough. It’s time to close this loophole & pass the Background Check Completion Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Charleston loophole has allowed thousands of dangerous people—people prohibited under current law from possessing a firearm—to buy a gun. If you haven’t passed a background check, you shouldn’t be able to purchase a weapon. No check, no gun. It’s really that simple. https://t.co/NTX5srP2KE — PolitiTweet.org

Welcome home, @SecCardona. I wish I could be there with you & @FLOTUS to celebrate, but know how immensely proud we all are of your accomplishment. Brighter days for America's children are ahead with you leading @usedgov. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We are still fighting to right this monstrous wrong. @JoaquinCastrotx & I have introduced a bill to ensure all separated families can be reunited permanently in the United States. Congress must pass this legislation & commit to a simple truth: families belong together. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Sessions can’t be allowed to whitewash his responsibility for family separation. He knew the consequences of this horrific policy, but proceeded anyway. The cruelty of tearing families apart was the point. https://t.co/XtuNCMp1eq — PolitiTweet.org

Our K2 veterans should receive the health care & disability benefits they rightly deserve. We owe them nothing less. Congress can do its part by passing the K2 Veterans Care Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As @endforcedarb's map shows, all across the country people are being denied their day in court & companies are evading accountability through forced arbitration. Congress must pass the FAIR Act to eliminate these harmful agreements. https://t.co/KYAxHHYONM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I couldn’t be prouder to introduce Brenda Mallory at her nomination hearing. Brenda's CT roots, tough work ethic, commitment to coalition building, & belief in the importance of environmental justice make her the perfect person to Chair the Council on Environmental Quality. https://t.co/1unPHDURWG — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

.@WhipClyburn is a champion for closing the Charleston Loophole. I look forward to continuing our partnership on this critical bill by introducing companion legislation in the Senate later this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We’re seeing a disturbing rise in the number of hate crimes, particularly directed at Asian Americans & Pacific Islanders. I asked Director Wray if he would support my NO HATE Act, which would require better reporting of these heinous crimes. https://t.co/1afrCduAiL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I asked Director Wray about the threat of QAnon theories & those who espouse them. I’m disappointed he was not more forthrightly critical of the prominent officials who endorse the conspiracies that resulted in the storming of the Capitol. https://t.co/xw0URDjYMX — PolitiTweet.org

#WomensHistoryMonth celebrates progress towards shattering glass ceilings & advancing women’s equality. We must recommit to fighting for reproductive rights, paycheck fairness, paid leave, VAWA, & so much more. https://t.co/9FwPPtKaaE — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s voting rights case before #SCOTUS could affect whether 250+ state bills succeed in suppressing the right to vote. Congress must protect Americans’ access to the ballot box by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. Our democracy is at stake. https://t.co/KewQt6MHKz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Eversource’s rate increase attempt is absurd. This deeply ludicrous request adds both insult & injury to consumers. I’m determined to fight this unjust, unjustifiable rate hike—a consumer heist. https://t.co/oiLu3Jmxej — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

One of the fundamental principles of our American democracy is that everyone gets their day in court. Forced arbitration deprives Americans of that basic right. The Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act simply rights that basic wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

But workers aren’t the only ones at risk—nearly every American has been stripped of their basic right to justice, whether they know it or not. Nursing homes have forced arbitration agreements. Cell phone & cable contracts have forced arbitration agreements. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Forced arbitration is unfair & un-American—& during a global pandemic, it’s also unsafe. Workers forced into a rigged arbitration system have lost one of the most powerful tools they have to hold employers accountable for gambling with their safety: access to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle & the Biden Administration to swiftly pass such commonsense gun violence prevention measures. We must put an end to the American epidemic of gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT has already seen background checks save lives in our state, but guns don’t respect state borders. A powerful political movement has been mobilized—reflecting more than 90 percent of Americans who support expanding federal background checks. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No check, no gun buy, should be the rule. Congress has the moral imperative to enact sensible reforms like universal background checks to prevent more tragedies. We have no time to waste. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During yesterday’s Judiciary Committee hearing, I was proud to vote to move forward Merrick Garland’s nomination. Judge Garland is not only a brilliant lawyer & widely respected jurist, but a person of consummate character who will bring independence & integrity back to DOJ. — PolitiTweet.org

The Admin is taking steps to make sure no parent has to choose between reuniting with their family & their child’s safety. It’s time for Congress to pass @JoaquinCastrotx & my Families Belong Together Act to ensure separated families can be reunified here in the U.S. permanently. — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Cardona’s leadership, vision, & dedication will pave the way for an American education system that puts students, teachers, & parents first. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Miguel Cardona is a man of deep commitment to his community, a proud product of the CT education system, & a fantastic new Secretary of Education. I was honored to vote in favor of his confirmation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Lynn Rosenthal is exactly the right person to lead this commission & her appointment signals the Biden Administration’s serious commitment to fundamentally changing how we address sexual violence within the military. https://t.co/Vo6tJBZmLl — PolitiTweet.org
