Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Republicans have made SCOTUS nominations a brazen power play—first by refusing to a vote on Garland & now by forcing through a nominee a month before an election. I refuse to legitimize this broken, weaponized process by meeting w/any nominee put forward before the inauguration. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Breonna Taylor deserves justice. Systemic racism has claimed too many lives to stick to the status quo. The Senate must do our part to create meaningful change & pass the Justice in Policing Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Having assisted in this team effort, I’ll continue to advocate for more federal funding for our recreational & tourist attractions that have suffered financial distress. I thank Gov. Lamont & his team for their leadership, & Steve Coan & all the staff, volunteers, & supporters. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I salute the state’s lifeline financial assistance to the @mysticaquarium—one of the nation’s premier research & education institutions. This aid helps sustain a cultural treasure—a vital destination that drives jobs & economic vitality in the region & entire state. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m prepared to consider any reasonable policies & plans that will help our fellow Americans through this health & economic crisis. Let’s do what the American people sent us to Washington to do & pass real relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

More than 6 months into this pandemic, countless priorities to rebuild our country—improved national testing, enforceable health & safety standards, robust relief funding—are at a standstill in Mitch McConnell’s Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Trump & his administration have failed our country at crucial points of this pandemic, downplaying the dangers of the virus & refusing to heed scientific advice. President Trump’s cruel, reckless indifference cost lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My heart breaks for the over 200,000 Americans—including nearly 4,500 from Connecticut—who have lost their lives to the coronavirus. But in my grief, I am also deeply angry & frustrated. These deaths could have been prevented. https://t.co/XYLTE0AjsE — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Instead of rushing approval of a new Justice who’d strike down the ACA—meeting Trump’s “strong test”—McConnell should be pushing expanded health measures to fight the raging pandemic & economic crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Here’s why oversight matters: Money meant for masks & other virus fighting equipment misdirected to military hardware, contrary to Congress’ legal intent. Stronger scrutiny would be imposed by the CORE Act, advocated by me & @SenWarren. https://t.co/ooMwvEE69D — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

SCOTUS will decide the fate of Americans' health care, reproductive rights, & countless civil liberties. Before a new justice is confirmed, the voice of the public must be heard. Jamming through a vote upends our democratic process & undercuts the will of the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT National Guard’s supporting role in securing our elections against hacking & foreign interference should be a model for other states. There’s a common threat. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I met w/the CT National Guard last week to learn about how they are helping CT towns protect their cyber infrastructure. We need to be very clear eyed about the real & ongoing threat to our elections from the Russians & other actors—sowing discord & distributing disinformation. https://t.co/c7EKfzl3Az — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Defending the Integrity of Voting Systems Act provides the DOJ with powerful tools to vigorously prosecute & stop malicious hackers. The President must now—urgently—make it law. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Almost 200K Americans dead, businesses & families hanging by a thread—yet Republicans are sticking to their sickening & shamefully misplaced priorities. McConnell should allow a vote on real, robust COVID-19 relief rather than rush a SCOTUS nominee who would likely gut the ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Politics trumps science—again. Sad & sickening. https://t.co/stY90hvvtL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The VA of CT is setting a COVID-19 testing example for others to follow. Rapid testing & results are key to getting this pandemic under control. When in doubt, take the test—even if you have no symptoms. https://t.co/93JulIBiEp — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congrats to CT’s small business person of the year, Matt Beaudoin of @Mysticknotwork. As CEO of one of the small businesses that makeup the backbone of our economy, thank you for sharing your craftsmanship & dedication to the art of nautical knotwork. https://t.co/goP67STM6j — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In this desperate, despicable rush, Republicans hold a dagger to democracy’s heart—breaking their word & breaking apart the Senate & nation. Americans will hold them accountable at the ballot box. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No matter who Trump’s nominee is, his treacherous rush denies Americans their say. He’s usurping their votes & upending democracy. https://t.co/8EhFV4MyGL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

If Republicans recklessly & reprehensibly force a SCOTUS vote before the election—nothing is off the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This close to the election, there is no way that the United States Senate can or should act before the voters decide. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As to the appointment of Ginsburg’s successor, I couldn’t improve on what McConnell said after Scalia’s death: The American people must have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice. Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new president. — PolitiTweet.org
