College athletes’ rights should not be on a knife’s edge at the Supreme Court. NCAA’s failed policies on compensation, education, & equity are unacceptable & unjust. Students fought hard for reform—@SenBooker & I will act to finally secure their rights. https://t.co/ndseAyjbTG — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic news, looks like the new federal budget deal will include a provision to help preserve Plum Island—a unique environmental treasure that I’ll continue working to protect. Stay tuned for more from the NY & CT delegations that fought to include it. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans deserve to know the impact of this staggering cyberattack—& how Cozy Bear reportedly slipped into systems under our sleuths’ noses. With no sign of a timeline for disclosure, I’ll be demanding more facts. https://t.co/IwHB1xQ4uS — PolitiTweet.org

In the wake of a disastrous Russian cyberattack on our nation, Trump is continuing to threaten a veto of the NDAA. This defense budget includes enhanced tools to counter such attacks. Trump is again siding with his pal Putin. https://t.co/bhBAhERqJB — PolitiTweet.org

Theaters & stages are struggling to keep the lights on. For the sake of our cultural gems & the small businesses they support, Congress must pass the Save Our Stages Act. https://t.co/prn6rTTNu7 — PolitiTweet.org

Stunning. Today’s classified briefing on Russia’s cyberattack left me deeply alarmed, in fact downright scared. Americans deserve to know what's going on. Declassify what’s known & unknown. — PolitiTweet.org

Too often I’ve seen special interests seek to duck real responsibility with political gestures & PR. If Big Tech is serious about Section 230 reform, they need to put their money where their mouth is. https://t.co/fYcJ11scBC — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Big Tech should come clean with this overdue investigation of practices endangering people’s privacy, especially children’s. https://t.co/gRpK4qn8Oo — PolitiTweet.org

My hope is that a new Congress & a new President will break the pattern of inaction on commonsense gun violence prevention measures. Enough is enough. https://t.co/AMDKGoKVAo — PolitiTweet.org

Our lives have never been the same since Sandy Hook, but in the wake of that tragedy, as well as Parkland, Las Vegas, Charleston, El Paso, Orlando, Pittsburgh, & countless others, there has grown a movement. I'm proud to stand with these activist & leaders today, & every day. https://t.co/YRGyHHMLka — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The tragedy at Sandy Hook still sparks unspeakable grief, pain, & anguish, but also serves as a constant reminder to honor those beautiful lives lost with real action. https://t.co/5rwjkejjom — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must swiftly pass comprehensive relief for the sake of lives & livelihoods. I stand ready to consider reasonable policies & plans to help conquer the pandemic & economic crisis & make the vaccine available to every American as quickly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Trump & his admin have proven themselves entirely inept at managing this pandemic to protect the public. Instead, they have chosen to shamefully sow distrust in our democracy & recklessly play political games. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This highly dangerous winter & holiday season threatens to take even more lives at a cruelly relentless speed. We must redouble our resolve to keep ourselves & our neighbors safe by wearing masks, physically distancing, & washing our hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This tragic toll is beyond shattering. My heartfelt thoughts are w/the grieving families & loved ones, including those of 5,000+ people we have lost in CT. Loss of parents, children, coworkers, friends, community leaders—the list is gut wrenching. Our country is forever changed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Another grim milestone—300,000 American lives lost to COVID—makes all the more urgent Congress’ moral obligation to approve the pandemic relief measure without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A historic turning point today with the Electoral College making it official: it’s Biden-Harris. Despite Trump & his cronies baseless, laughable legal claims, democracy has prevailed. Brighter days ahead! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There should be no sympathy or regret for an Attorney General who trashed the rule of law, caused untold suffering, & enabled a morally depraved president. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. — PolitiTweet.org

Drew Days was a gentle giant—a champion for justice with tenacity, brilliance, & grace under pressure. He was a role model & mentor to so many of us. https://t.co/jsF0dYwtTf — PolitiTweet.org

State Senator Gomes & his family are in my thoughts today. I wish him a speedy recovery. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump’s cozy pal Putin has again unleashed Cozy Bear. Russia must pay a price—or they’ll be undeterred. It’s an attack. It must be answered—with proportionate steps, like sanctions as a start. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump’s failure of deterrence & continued denials have emboldened Russian hacking & put it at the door of our deepest national secrets. Congress must be immediately briefed on this stark & jaw-dropping report—the consequences could haunt us for years. https://t.co/AkAwsBrUeb — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m in constant awe of the strength & fortitude of the families of the victims—& the thousands of others who suffer such loss & pain each day. I will not stop fighting for these families & their loved ones until the scourge of gun deaths ends. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We mark this painful 8th anniversary of the shooting at Sandy Hook with renewed resolve—to honor the beautiful lives lost with positive action, & redouble efforts against gun violence under a new administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans need & deserve nothing less to conquer the pandemic & revive our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Vaccines are critical, but it’s vaccinations that truly save lives. The historic challenge now is to scale up manufacturing, strengthen supply chains, spur trust & confidence, as well as continue developing additional versions of vaccine—all of which demands federal investment. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This seismic scientific feat will save countless lives. I’m extraordinarily proud of Pfizer’s scientists & entire workforce in CT who helped achieve what seemed impossible: developing a safe, effective COVID-19 vaccine in less than a year. https://t.co/OgA8r2Bl2e — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There is a lot to be done, but a new era & administration are coming. Now’s the moment to step up, take action, & pass commonsense gun violence legislation. Let’s get to work because enough is enough. 7/7 — PolitiTweet.org

Gun Lobby Protections→Repeal PLCCA with the Equal Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act For too long, the gun lobby, bankrolled by dark money & the NRA, has blocked life-saving legislation while denying victims of gun violence their day in court. This must change. 6/7 — PolitiTweet.org
