Federal courts are deluged, cases are on hold, judges are overloaded—delaying & thereby denying justice. There ought to be bipartisan consensus that more judges are needed, now, vitally & urgently. This issue indisputably binds red & blue states. https://t.co/ZpBa2LzXVK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you to the Community Health Center workers & CT National Guard who are on the frontlines of this pandemic day in & day out. No matter the weather, you are working to keep our communities safe. I'll continue to fight for more funding to support testing & vaccination efforts. https://t.co/KETWs32Dx6 — PolitiTweet.org

This bill protects the safety & privacy of domestic violence survivors, empowering them to separate from shared phone plans & providing confidentiality when they seek support. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

One central way domestic violence perpetrators exercise control & continue their abuse is by cutting off their victims’ ability to communicate w/loved ones & support services. The Safe Connections Act targets this tactic so domestic violence survivors don’t lose their lifelines. — PolitiTweet.org

First step: Boot Marjorie Taylor Greene from the House Education Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My heart goes out to the Sandy Hook & Parkland families & other gun violence survivors who are victimized again by vile extremists. Marjorie Taylor Greene emboldens the hoaxers & harassers. Denounce her despicable lies & threats & expel her. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Kristen Clarke impressed me as a superlative civil rights champion—skillful, passionate, & persuasive. She’ll help restore intellect & integrity to DOJ’s top ranks. https://t.co/Nql46D9wFO — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We should start down the budget reconciliation route—requiring 51 votes—& welcome Republicans who have constructive solutions. At this unique moment of crisis striving for bipartisanship cannot mean stalling solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Now Congress must act without delay to codify these protections into law & improve the health care system so it is more affordable for everyone. Without Congressional action, access to reproductive health care, as well as health care access as a whole, remain at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Biden is delivering on his pledge to restore & strengthen access to health care. After four years of attacks aimed at restricting & denying health care access, today’s actions mean Americans can finally begin to breathe a sigh of relief. https://t.co/0OtIAzxmSa — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I have zero tolerance for delaying a COVID-19 rescue plan. We need decisive, bold, comprehensive action—now. Go big, go fast, go fair. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Legal safeguards protecting consumer privacy failed to keep pace with technology, & that lapse is costing us in the fight against COVID-19. This measure’s commitment to civil liberties is an investment in our public health. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Public Health Emergency Privacy Act sets strict & straightforward privacy protections. Americans will have assurance that their health data from contact tracing, home testing, & online appointment booking will be used to stop the spread of COVID, & nothing more. https://t.co/SD6MtmradV — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Biden is showing real leadership with his hard hitting warning about violent, racist extremism—after years of downplaying, even concealing, these deadly threats by the Trump DHS. Americans need to know. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Americans deserve the facts about violent racist & extremist groups—now emboldened to launch more deadly attacks. Extremists are a dagger aimed at the heart of our democracy. https://t.co/DCSkxQv9iZ — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to working with this new admin to strengthen our clean air & water protections, hold polluters accountable, & secure environmental justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Time is running out to correct course & save the planet. President Biden’s bold, swift steps to stop a climate disaster are a heartening start, but legislative action is vital to real results.  https://t.co/I7RvUUxxn9 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Wonderful to speak with Vanita Gupta about advancing civil rights, racial justice, voting rights, & antitrust. Through strong, effective enforcement, Vanita will help to restore integrity & credibility at DOJ. https://t.co/GZpmk3bwOS — PolitiTweet.org

Please remember you are not alone & help is available. If you or a loved one ever need someone to talk to, the Lifeline’s (@800273Talk) counselors are available 24/7/365 at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Gut wrenching news—another life lost following the 1/6 attack on the Capitol. My thoughts are with Officer Smith’s family, loved ones, & fellow MPD officers. https://t.co/fjdwRYAu4n — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The horrors of the Holocaust must never be forgotten. Today, on the 76th anniversary of Auschwitz-Birkenau’s liberation, #WeRemember the millions of Jews & others who fell victim to Nazi atrocities & recommit to rooting out anti-Semitism—& all forms of hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Alongside this significant partnership, I’ll keep fighting to combat this crisis & look forward to working together with these community leaders to end hunger. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Food insecurity has reached new heights. The merger between @foodshare & @CTFoodBank—CT’s two largest anti-hunger organizations—will unite & streamline their resources & responses to help end this scourge that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The lack of broadband connectivity is a severe barrier for many students who are going to school remotely. As Secretary of Commerce, Governor Raimondo will have a critical role on broadband & I appreciate her commitment to work with me on closing the homework gap. https://t.co/maxb8mXFz6 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The next Secretary of Commerce must address the disparate impact the pandemic has had on minority-owned businesses. I asked Governor Raimondo what more the Minority Business Development Agency should do to help support business owners. https://t.co/UZ2gHkCB2w — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I look forward to working with Secretary-designate Gina Raimondo on preserving & protecting CT & our nation’s aquatic ecosystems while ensuring that our maritime economy remains successful. https://t.co/4QPZZ2EWg2 — PolitiTweet.org

What a year it has been since I posted this tweet. Swift, robust action was not taken by the Trump admin, but under President Biden’s leadership there is new hope that real, meaningful measures will help stop the spread of this insidious virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As we took the oath for this Trump impeachment trial, I looked across the Senate chamber for profiles in courage. History will recognize & remember them—& those who caved to fear & partisan politics after an attempted insurrection & assassination. — PolitiTweet.org
