Judge Garland & I share a commitment to preventing gun violence. Sandy Hook, Parkland, & other tragedies could have been averted if we closed loopholes & had commonsense measures like emergency risk protection orders, universal background checks, & safe storage laws. https://t.co/ueKkmV1V24 — PolitiTweet.org

And unlike some past nominees who have come in front of the Judiciary Committee, Merrick Garland has no doubt that humans have contributed to climate change. https://t.co/tBd2AuCypl — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today I urged Judge Garland to follow AGs like @AGWilliamTong’s lead & consider DOJ action to hold polluters accountable for misleading the public about climate change. Lying to the American people about the devastating effects of fossil fuels on our planet can't go unchecked. https://t.co/zKfzuqPlLA — PolitiTweet.org

The growing incidences of hate crimes—especially against Asian Americans—is extraordinarily alarming. Judge Garland’s commitment to combating violent extremism is critically important to stop these crimes that as he said “tear at the fabric of our society.” https://t.co/wJQTB7wVxg — PolitiTweet.org

I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to support & swiftly pass the American Rescue Plan—there is absolutely no excuse for delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Every day, more Americans are getting vaccinated. Congress is working to pass another comprehensive stimulus—the American Rescue Plan—to put America back to work, revive our economy, make sure kids can go back to schools safely, & ensure people can put food on the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Thankfully, the Biden Admin is now mobilizing to conquer this health & economic crisis & we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The question is how long the tunnel will be. It should be shorter with scientific & economic experts working 24/7 to ensure a fast recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Today we mark an unspeakably, devastating milestone for our nation—half a million Americans losing their lives to COVID-19. My sympathies go to their families & loved ones, including those of the 7,500 CT residents. — PolitiTweet.org

Tom Anischik made the news presses roar—enabling the nuts & bolts delivery of local journalism, key to our democracy. He devoted his life to community service & his beautiful family. A model & mentor to so many.https://t.co/cT3F5h74DQ — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must help stop the continuing scourge of racist attacks—beginning with the NO HATE Act. Hate crimes in schools are traumatic, tragic, & intolerable. https://t.co/37S7ZmTnmK — PolitiTweet.org

Each piece of misinformation, each person bullied for getting vaccinated, is a setback in our effort to end this deadly pandemic. Facebook & Twitter have moved far too slowly in responding to this targeted harassment & these dangerous conspiracy theories. https://t.co/RJpI5oEvCx — PolitiTweet.org

Time for a moral reckoning with a malign Saudi regime. This intel report could possibly blow the case wide open on a murderous coverup. A resetting of the US-Saudi relationship is overdue. https://t.co/I7Pm5DxqXT — PolitiTweet.org

Phillip Blumberg will be remembered for his visionary leadership that set the UConn Law program on a path to great success. My thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.  https://t.co/mr2PazxRjm — PolitiTweet.org

Reform to Sec. 230 is urgent & overdue. Until Big Tech can actually be held accountable for fostering, facilitating, & funding scams, crimes, hate, & abuse, they will never change their business model—to the detriment of public health, democracy, & countless victims. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This is where Sec. 230 comes in—Sec. 230 immunizes Google & Facebook from any fraud, scams, & destruction caused by their ad tools—it lets them make hundreds of billions of dollars per year by handing their bullhorn to the highest bidder, with no repercussions or consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This time—in the middle of a pandemic—health care providers, universities, & vaccine distributors are inadvertently funding anti-vax & COVID-19 misinformation site’s ecosystem of lies by using these opaque ad buying algorithms. https://t.co/XxhVxIa6Il — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Tech companies sell off this powerful ad platform to the highest bidder with few safeguards & little oversight or transparency. Allowing Russia, extremists, & scammers to use these ads as a weapon—reaping immense revenue & manipulating voters & consumers unabated. — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook & Google operate the most sophisticated, expansive, & intrusive advertising networks—built on troves of your personal data & designed to precisely target you. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Facebook & Google’s advertising continues to fund & promote dangerous conspiracy theories, COVID-19 disinformation, & malign foreign propaganda. Big Tech’s business model propagates this problem & highlights why Sec. 230 matters. A thread: — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s era of chaos, cruelty & failed immigration policies has ended, but in its wake is a system in desperate need of repair. I’m proud to co-sponsor the #USCitizenshipAct that will deliver permanent protections to immigrants while responsibly & effectively managing our border. https://t.co/eZvKGP1ohV — PolitiTweet.org

State regulators should protect consumers from this arrogant attempt to shift the financial burden for Eversource’s failures. I’ll continue to fight it in PURA & elsewhere. https://t.co/WDKgRKO2Oj — PolitiTweet.org

Beyond posing a potential danger to readiness, low COVID-19 vaccination rates are a lost opportunity to safely protect servicemembers & for our military to lead by example. https://t.co/DD1Lck9vjH — PolitiTweet.org
