Too often, a pardon from Trump is a badge of corruption & cover-up. His goal: wield the power of the pardon to normalize wrongdoing & protect himself & his guilty cronies. https://t.co/6NimQT6ThU — PolitiTweet.org

What I said in 2019 is as true & pertinent today as it was almost two years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

I call on Republican colleagues not only to speak out, but stand up & look forward to a strong, bipartisan override vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Literally right after what could be the most massive cyberattack in our nation’s history, the President is eliminating the new tools & authorities we need for our nation’s cyber defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This deeply destructive blunder must be promptly overridden. It’s really pathetic & crazy, as well as downright dangerous. It left me speechless because it’s so destructive to our national defense. Equipment isn’t the only thing at risk—so is pay for our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The recent cyberattack could pose an alarming threat to the VA. Sec. Wilkie must make clear the impact of this possible breach & how the VA is safeguarding veterans’ sensitive information. https://t.co/SmK6aBXkOt — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I agree. I’m all in. — PolitiTweet.org

Winning the Save Our Stages Act fight means preserving cultural treasures that inspire artistic passion. Also, jobs & economic revival for restaurants, retailers, & more. https://t.co/UuuKQDIo2i — PolitiTweet.org

The only people standing in the way of greater stimulus payments were Congressional Republicans. If President Trump really wanted a bigger relief bill, he should have said something 7 months ago—not 4 days before unemployment insurance is set to run out. https://t.co/xz8JNHHkBw — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Donald Trump leaves the presidency just as he took it: without a shred of respect for the Constitution & as a complete disgrace to his office. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I doubt government contractors who slaughtered civilians or corrupt Congressional cronies were what the Founders had in mind when they drafted the pardon clause. Most despicably, President Trump is twisting this presidential power to reward allies who broke the law on his behalf. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was proud to help advocate for his selection. He has the experience, knowledge, & skills necessary to reverse the damage caused in the last 4 yrs by this admin’s malign neglect of public education. He’ll be missed in CT, but his selection is a tremendous benefit to the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Miguel Cardona is a son of Meriden’s public schools & state universities, a hands-on teacher & manager, & a leader of vision & courage who can help federal education policy recover from its current catastrophic failures. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This thrilling selection of Dr. Cardona sends an inspiring message to CT’s children, especially all who start school speaking another language: there is no limit to how far you can go as a leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Coast Guard must answer & act after more reports of sexual assault & abuse. Reform, not retribution, must be the response. https://t.co/b2KNEJinWK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

He touched so many lives with his wonderful combination of toughness & compassion. I am proud to have been his friend &  my heart goes out to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Ed Gomes was a relentless, irrepressible champion of working families—truly a happy warrior. His endless energy & generous spirit inspired so many of us to fight even harder for economic & racial justice. https://t.co/7vgJYSkrsf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Even as the known devastation deepens, still no effort to make Russian hackers pay a price. American allies should be enlisted—they were victims too. American people need the facts. https://t.co/82JwQPpWcH — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m proud of how many critical programs will receive funding thanks to those efforts & look forward to see those dollars put to work in CT communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I fought for additional measures to combat gun violence, fight online child exploitation, protect against dangerous chemicals in our furniture, support women veterans, make investments in CT’s defense manufacturing—& more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The omnibus spending bill will also provide a huge economic boost & much needed stability to our transportation networks & small business development/support. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Too long delayed & still too little. It is the best we could secure from intransigent opponents, & I’ll continue fighting for more—another relief package early in the new year. Without a doubt, Congress will need to approve expanded support before this pandemic is over. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We successfully included the Save Our Stages bill in the final package, along with significant new funding for the PPP program & support for restaurants & other struggling businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This pandemic relief package is a morally imperative rescue measure—an economic&public health life raft for struggling families, businesses&hospitals. With so many in desperate need, we couldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Communities in CT are hurting&need help. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT should be proud that Dr. Cardona would lead the nation into a new era in educational excellence, reversing the devastating damage done by Betsy DeVos. We would miss him as commissioner in CT for all the reasons he would be a great Cabinet member. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Miguel Cardona is a champion for children with hands-on experience in the classroom & management. He believes in excellence for every single student’s education. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It is far less & much later than it should be, but it will help combat the pandemic & save lives & livelihoods. As soon as we pass this measure, I will begin working & fighting for a more resources & relief for CT families, businesses, & communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This rescue package will provide an immediate life raft for struggling families & small businesses while investing in vaccine distribution, transportation funding, & other immediate needs, like unemployment insurance. It is a bridge to a more robust program—a down payment. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump is a clear & present danger to national security in his closing weeks. Moving to veto the NDAA—which has strong cyber tools—& belittling a cataclysmic Russian cyberattack is terrifyingly destructive & delusional. January 20th can’t come soon enough. https://t.co/JjzIepAJUV — PolitiTweet.org
