If truth & transparency are so important, John, let’s declassify those briefings & return to having regular updates from you & your team. Clearly foreign election interference is happening, let’s make sure the American people & their elected officials know what’s really going on. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Any voter intimidation must be pursued & prosecuted. It’s a national security threat, even if coddled & encouraged by Trump. Law enforcers must stop such threats—immediately. https://t.co/opcRHBNc2z — PolitiTweet.org

The American people’s voices must be heard. The next president & the next Senate should decide the next Supreme Court Justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Might does not make right. Just 12 days before an election the Judiciary Committee shouldn't be rushing & ramming forward the nomination of a Supreme Court Justice. Proud to join my Democratic colleagues in boycotting tomorrow’s mark-up. Real lives & real people are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We refuse to lend this sham process one ounce more of legitimacy. They’re breaking the rules, shattering norms & endangering our democracy. We want America to know. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No more business as usual. Even if tools & time are limited, we must take a stand against Republicans’ rush to break norms & shatter rules. Raw political power should not install an activist Justice days before an election. https://t.co/jdkfM9EpXE — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

With just 13 days until Election Day, the Defending the Integrity of Voting Systems Act is critical. I’m proud to have fought for its passage & its strong safeguards to protect our election infrastructure against hacking threats from foreign adversaries. — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds of children orphaned because of Trump & his Admin’s brazen, premeditated cruelty—or as they heinously think of it “political strategy.” All who are a part of these horrid human rights abuses must answer for their actions. https://t.co/l2pRTM87Mc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The criminality of murder, the existence of climate change/pollution, & the easy steps to inhibit the spread of COVID-19 should not be controversial. For Amy Coney Barrett these issues are—presenting terrifying consequences for the Supreme Court & the American people. https://t.co/2XkzykcCXw — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

To my written questions, Judge Barrett wouldn’t say murder is a federal crime. Judge Barrett wouldn’t acknowledge climate change. Judge Barrett wouldn’t say gasoline burning cars emit pollution. Judge Barrett wouldn’t agree on the importance of masks & physical distancing. https://t.co/afsDNTOwH1 — PolitiTweet.org

When a bipartisan group of state AGs are ready to ramp up the fight, DOJ must support their efforts. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As I learned from the Microsoft case, taking on Big Tech requires bipartisanship & a bold, broad investigation. DOJ’s failure to enlist the full force of state AGs is a disappointment & missed opportunity. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

If enforcement stops here, there will still be a gaping chasm of abuses & Google will be emboldened. All remedies should be considered to deter its pattern of anticompetitive behavior, including breakup & divestment. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

DOJ’s antitrust case against Google is a small step forward that leaves far too much on the table. This complaint is but a glimpse into Google’s habitual abuse of power to stifle competition in advertising, search, & elsewhere. https://t.co/7sNzQDZXA2 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s China entanglements, including apparent state payments & benefits, show more likely legal violations—most obviously the Foreign Emoluments Clause. Don’t expect a toady like AG Barr to act, but there must be accountability. https://t.co/4r3Gp9Dnai — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

What we are seeing with these 4 dissenters, are justices taking brazen political action. This deeply dangerous trend on election law could destroy the credibility & legitimacy of the Supreme Court, whose power depends on the trust & faith of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Voting is a fundamental, cornerstone Constitutional right because it allows us to vindicate & enforce our other rights—assuring that our institutions reflect the will of the people. These dissents are a shockingly activist move by 4 Republican-appointed justices. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Right result in the PA election case—but 4 cravenly political dissenters foretell deep dangers ahead. Brazen disregard for past precedent (deferring to state high courts on state law) shows how politicized & partisan Republican appointees see their role. https://t.co/Mv9QEAaM4e — PolitiTweet.org

From the ACA to reproductive freedoms & commonsense gun legislation—real lives are #WhatsAtStake with this SCOTUS nominee. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Jessica, Chris, Mike, Kristin, Janet, Julia, & Gaye, thank you for allowing me to share your stories in last week's hearings & standing with me today. Your courage & conviction are the inspiration for so many of us who are fighting against the rushed nomination of Judge Barrett. https://t.co/DHfOOwWK9L — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the minority business owners who spoke with me about the acute challenges their companies face during this pandemic. With 66% of minority small businesses concerned about having to close permanently, we need to pass an inclusive, comprehensive relief package—now. — PolitiTweet.org

Chairman Pai is more focused on political attacks on our constitutional rights than the millions of children & families offline during this pandemic. Regrettably, this FCC has shown that it works for the political benefit of the President, & not for the people. — PolitiTweet.org
