Big Tech’s false promises: CEOs committed to me at Wednesday‘s hearing they have a plan to stop disinformation, but now they need to actually enforce it. Be tough on Trump lies, or the promises are empty. https://t.co/1n1tHB0GQ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Our heroic National Guard are citizen soldiers—not political pawns. We must vigilantly prevent abuses of power. https://t.co/CgKmW2jLC4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Institutions responsible for athletes safety must be true to their word & following the letter of the law. Senator @JerryMoran, my partner & a true champion for this issue, & I will continue to hold accountable those that fail to prioritize the wellbeing of their athletes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

*BREAKING* The Empowering Olympic, Paralympic & Amateur Athletes Act is now law. Thank you to the athletes & courageous survivors who shared stories. This brave activism inspired a law that ensures future generations of athletes can train, compete & succeed w/o fear of abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Without enforceable, long-term & scientifically-backed upgrades & reforms, I fear the cruise line industry will return to its unacceptable status quo. As COVID-19 cases skyrocket, the Trump admin is heeding corporate lobbying & putting profits over people. https://t.co/xWjBLnBaO8 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This order lacks the lasting change needed to right the ship on health & safety aboard cruises, which were Petri dish breeding grounds for the virus at the beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak.https://t.co/Q8v81jEmYM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you to front line workers for all you do. Your work is essential & you deserve better pay & nothing less than proper safety precautions. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Republicans have shattered all the rules & norms. A truly independent federal judiciary, protecting Constitutional values & rule of law, must be renewed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This deeply divided result points to Justices’ brazen activism—disregarding state courts & state law. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For now, SCOTUS is staying out of the PA election, but they’ve kept the door wide open to throw out ballots after they see what happens on Election Day—Every vote should count. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thanks to the Liberation Programs’ staff for making this place a source of healing for those suffering from opioid addiction. Proud to join John Hamilton, Rep. Himes, Dita Bhargava & others to discuss the importance of Narcan training & the ways to support people in recovery. https://t.co/ZaNXI1OwZn — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We're on the verge of a massive onslaught on the integrity of our election. Trump & the Republicans have a plan which involves disinformation/misinformation. The Russians & other foreign actors have a plan. Today, I asked the CEOs of Facebook, Twitter & Google, what’s their plan? https://t.co/SBciRVfHJj — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My Republican colleagues have been silent. When confronted w/Trump's lies, they’ve seemingly lost their phones & their voices. Their one reaction: this hearing, which is strategically timed before the election & designed to browbeat the platforms that have labeled disinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Trump has broken all the norms & has put dangerous misinformation & disinformation on social media platforms. The platforms are beginning to act by labeling or taking down these kinds of posts. https://t.co/jjhbo65YMZ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The message from CT Conference of Municipalities’ report on our digital divide is clear—wake up CT. Along racial & socioeconomic lines, student are disconnected from the internet, inhibiting their ability to learn. Federal gov’t measures must be expanded to meet this moment. https://t.co/9PW3kFn3or — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The CT River Bridge is essential to the busiest & most profitable Amtrak corridor in the nation. Replacing this bridge will allow for high-speed rail & increased reliability. This $65 million federal grant is a down payment on an investment that will more than pay for itself. https://t.co/gaflHkt0uz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Glad to see the Blue Water Navy Act—legislation that I helped champion—come into effect. The VA is finally doing right by these veterans & providing crucial care & compensation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

To every person who is worried about what your future looks like under this SCOTUS: I’ll never stop fighting for you. Breaking the rules/norms to appoint activist judges who legislate from the bench is undemocratic & unacceptable. Keep on standing up & speaking out. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

LGBTQ+ couples are scared that their loving relationships will no longer be protected by law. All Americans should be scared of a Supreme Court that would supplant the electoral will of the people with the votes of Republican-appointed justices. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Families with sick children are scared they won’t be able to pay for their health care if the Affordable Care Act is struck down. Women are scared the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade & punish them for their decisions about when & whether to have children. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There is a clear & present danger of a humanitarian, moral, & constitutional crisis, as the Supreme Court shifts radically to the right & prepares to strike down laws vital to health & American values. Americans across the country are scared & saddened tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

What’s happening today is not normal. My Republican colleagues have the majority. Might does not make right. Nothing less than everything is at stake with Judge Barrett’s nomination. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/XTInd0EpXh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Kayla’s fiancé was diagnosed with cancer & without the protections of the ACA, his treatment wouldn’t have been covered & his pre-existing condition would have denied him care for the rest of his life. Another example of #WhatsAtStake with Judge Barrett’s nomination. https://t.co/JFLWVPjZRN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Here’s #WhatsAtStake for Kristen if Judge Barrett is confirmed: “The ACA has been a lifesaver for me… It is unthinkable that anyone would try to get rid of the ACA, especially during a pandemic. I fear that if the ACA is struck down, I will no longer be able to have insurance…" https://t.co/LGzCOohwNc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A constituent shared her story: Her medical issues require medications that are extremely expensive. Losing ACA coverage would make her medications unaffordable&eventually cause her to go blind. Installing Barrett to SCOTUS would solidify the court's ability to decimate the ACA. https://t.co/aHWOL5YcLD — PolitiTweet.org
