I was honored & proud to introduce CT’s own Dr. Cardona at his nomination hearing for Sec. of Education. Dr. Cardona is deeply dedicated to learning & teaching & will be a staunch, steadfast leader—restoring integrity & professionalism at the top levels of the Dept of Education. https://t.co/Qhchy0V0L4 — PolitiTweet.org

The ripple effects of gun violence impact so many more people than just the victims themselves. Thank you to the brave survivors sharing their stories at https://t.co/E8iDfwFO33. #GVSurvivorsWeek — PolitiTweet.org

So moved to visit the Capitol Rotunda this morning, as Officer Brian Sicknick lies in honor. His heroism will never be forgotten. — PolitiTweet.org

After his flagrantly false claims failed in every legal forum, Trump resorted to illegally igniting mob violence & insurrection. House impeachment managers say it well: He cannot evade accountability by claiming a “January Exception”. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The House impeachment managers are right, “If provoking an insurrectionary riot against a Joint Session of Congress after losing an election is not an impeachable offense... it is hard to imagine what would be." — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Words have consequences—especially when they are used purposefully to ignite mob violence causing serious injury & death. The House impeachment team has convincingly marshaled Trump’s own words to convict him. — PolitiTweet.org

Gig workers have kept us safe during the pandemic; bait-and-switch of their tips & salary is unconscionable. Today’s @FTC case against Amazon sets a landmark precedent for protecting the labor rights of millions of workers & should be followed up on by the Commission. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We urgently need a total overhaul in our national cybersecurity strategy: supply chain security rules, top-down review of Cyber Command, & a complete revamp of federal government cyber defenses. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A national security catastrophe: this historically unparalleled attack—now reportedly from China as well—will haunt us for decades. https://t.co/LLUwALlMfJ — PolitiTweet.org

It was especially meaningful for me to vote for the 1st immigrant to lead DHS. Ali’s mother fled the Holocaust just like my dad—they both arrived in the US as refugees. While our families’ stories aren't unique, someone w/that personal experience running our immigration system is — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our nation is facing a myriad of security challenges, but as a bipartisan group of former DHS Secretaries wrote earlier this month, President Biden ‘could not have found a more qualified person’ to step into this role. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A strong leader like Ali Mayorkas has never been more necessary at DHS. He is taking the helm days after a terrorist attack on the Capitol, weeks after discovering a foreign adversary hacked into our cyber systems&while immigrant kids are waiting to be reunited w/their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A blockbuster brief—powerfully portraying Trump incriminating himself by inciting an armed terrorist attack. It confirms purposeful, planned lawbreaking, clearly calculated to disable democracy & threaten death & injury. Trump’s own words prove his guilt. https://t.co/9GRTOKArtC — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our hearts are with the families & loved ones of these agents as well as the others who were injured. https://t.co/PrrmFYY9Sb — PolitiTweet.org

Pete Buttigieg knows firsthand how critical well-paved roads, new bridges, broadband & reliable rail service are to every community. He's committed to the President’s bold plans to modernize our country’s infrastructure while prioritizing job creation & climate change resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

After four years of all talk & no action on rebuilding American transit & key infrastructure, Pete Buttigieg will be a refreshing force for truly transformative progress. He’ll reinvigorate & reform the DOT. I was honored to cast my vote in favor of his confirmation today. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Clear & compelling evidence of crimes—by anyone—must be investigated & pursued. Federal & state investigators have a duty to follow the facts & insure accountability, even as Congress & President Biden move forward with a national pandemic rescue plan. https://t.co/z2tOk0kztn — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

These searing stories of family separation will be a continuing stain on America as long as we fail to reunite them. Biden’s steps are a good start & legislative action I’ve proposed with Rep. @JoaquinCastrotx will help to do more. https://t.co/FuXyPoaOGo — PolitiTweet.org

If Liz Cheney is a “leader of deep convictions & the courage to act on them”, according to McConnell, what will Republican Senators be at the impeachment trial? https://t.co/wnhmYsHAjH — PolitiTweet.org

I agree, @SenatorDurbin. There is no reason to delay Judge Garland’s nomination by not scheduling his hearing. We urgently need an AG in place to protect our national security interests, foreign & domestic. Garland has a sterling record & is supremely qualified to be our next AG. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A breath of fresh air to have leadership at the FCC ready & eager to meet this moment & support a much needed lifeline for the millions of students without broadband. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor & celebrate the generations of Black Americans who have shaped our nation. These true trailblazers fought injustice & strived to build a more inclusive Union. This month—& every month—we seek to lift up their voices & stories. https://t.co/QouEssB91B — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

After what happened last week with GameStop trading, investigation by consumer protectors & Congress seems necessary—& then legislative reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During this Congress, I’ll be introducing bills to close the Charleston loophole & other commonsense steps, like requiring emergency risk protection orders, Ethan’s Law for safe storage, the Lori Jackson Domestic Violence Survivor Protection Act, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

So many years of heartbreak. This year—& especially during Gun Violence Survivors Week—let’s honor survivors with action. https://t.co/zUDFTpTv43 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We need a full & fair relief package that meets the moment. $1.9 trillion is a floor, not a ceiling. It can’t be done piecemeal as the economic crisis deepens & the pandemic worsens. Time is not on our side. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This massive separation of children from parents is inhumane & intolerable. Reuniting them immediately is a moral imperative. So is accountability for the officials who purposefully & possibly criminally created this humanitarian crisis. https://t.co/UzeLvaLMxB — PolitiTweet.org
