Firefighters put their lives on the line. Proud to join Mayor Nystrom & City Manager Salomone at the Norwich Fire Department to announce a $193,977 grant of federal funds to help purchase extrication equipment & provide key training. https://t.co/G2UeNY62na — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to CT teachers, our heroes, at the beginning the school year. Great to take part in the Teacher & Student School Supply Drive & hand out to those in need masks & sanitizers donated by Rossi Foundation & due to Renee DeNino‘s wonderful work. https://t.co/KDSaaarnBD — PolitiTweet.org

China’s long reach—insidiously intruding into American classrooms, inhibiting student freedoms, & censoring academic discourse. Warning labels & concerns that China may be watching students & educators are another loud alarm signal. https://t.co/NPSeYh6NdL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump’s campaign to remake the courts with extreme right-wing judges has undercut the fight against gun violence. Thanks to @GiffordsCourage for helping to sound the alarm.https://t.co/b1f6eqCX9z — PolitiTweet.org

If you, or someone you know, is in need of help or support, domestic violence services are accessible 24/7 through #CTSafeConnect by calling or texting (888) 774-2900 or at https://t.co/b3UpzwYL5o. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The COVID-19 pandemic has increased cases of domestic violence. Proud to stand with @CTCADV, @ghla_hartford, & @MayorBronin to demand federal measures—like VAWA & the HEROES Act—that were essential before, but are now even more necessary. https://t.co/c26BbkfTKd — PolitiTweet.org

100 yrs ago, the #19thAmendment was ratified—a critical, but incomplete, step forward for women’s right to vote. For decades afterwards, Black women & women of color were denied access to the ballot box. Still today, we must keep up the fight against voter suppression. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congrats to @BridgeportFire Department on receiving a $660,000 grant to assist in optimizing operations & safety measures within the department. This grant is a recognition of your skills & bravery. https://t.co/GLuwT2qQLX — PolitiTweet.org

More than words, America deserves action: support funding necessary for on-time delivery & voting-by-mail. The Postmaster General has no credibility, Congress must still act. Delays, cutbacks, downsizing have already taken a toll. McConnell must call back the Senate to save USPS — PolitiTweet.org

We know what the Russians have done in the past & we know what they are doing now. There is simply no excuse for inaction. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Just like Trump campaign members worked closely with Russian intelligence officer Konstantin Kilimnik in 2016, the President’s allies are now embracing Russia-linked operative Andriy Derkach. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Building on the Mueller Report’s findings, the bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee’s investigation revealed the astonishing openness of the Trump campaign to accept help from one of our nation’s chief adversaries, Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This damning report lays out in stark detail extensive contacts between the Trump campaign & Russian government operatives who were working toward a shared goal in 2016: electing Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Trump campaign is clearly comfortable allowing Vladimir Putin to help choose the next President of the United States, but the American people should not be. This report is more than an investigation of past actions—it’s a clarion warning call for the upcoming election. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today, we mourn his loss, but we are forever indebted to his bravery. I extend my deepest condolences to his family & friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

He shared the horrors of that day, the sights & sounds that no one should have to experience, in the hopes that future generations would choose peace over war. I always valued my time with Floyd, his love of country, & dedication to service is an example for us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, young sailor Floyd Welch braved raging fires below deck, hearing trapped comrades desperately tapping for help, cutting through steel to rescue 33 of them. He was a hero, a member of our Greatest Generation, & I was proud to know him. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This axe to military health care would show the real soul of the Trump Administration. No surprise, they want to cut & gut servicemembers' health care just like they’ve attempted to kneecap the Affordable Care Act. https://t.co/W1D6ao2C2n — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

McConnell should give Congress a bipartisan chance to act—preventing postal delays & cuts—as the House is doing. Mailed medicine, vets checks, small business deliveries, voting, our military, & our economy all depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ve received over 10,000 messages & letters protesting mail service cuts. They deserve answers—in action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Senators should be back—we never should have left—to do our jobs in DC, just like the House. Destruction of the the Postal Service is unconscionable & un-American. Bipartisan action is necessary now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Memo to Mitch McConnell: Cut short the Senate recess to save the USPS, a cornerstone of our democracy. All of us should be ready & willing to return right away—voting on a bill like the House. https://t.co/wbawY0iZnj — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Utilities are now cash cows. Huge profits untied to performance, humongous exec pay untethered to service, monopolistic power effectively unregulated. Consumers deserve refunds right now—& reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Anti-consumer cuts in staff & service plus rising rates—a recipe for obscene profits during a pandemic. Their mantra: We give you less & charge you more. Time for real change benefiting consumers. https://t.co/khlFKDFGxF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was so proud to visit the Julia Day Nursery in Ansonia yesterday, joined by Mayor Cassetti, to hear about its extraordinary contribution to children & families for over 103 years. I will fight for child care assistance in the next relief package. https://t.co/xwqB9vlh3O — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In the wake of Tropical Storm Isaias, markets, grocery stores, & many others lost valuable perishable goods due to extended, unacceptable power outages. Today, I saw & heard about the impact firsthand at Scooter’s Deli Mart in Shelton. https://t.co/5qUMDJMR5d — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Postal service sabotage = voting suppression. No need to connect the dots. This bare knuckled scheme openly mocks our democracy & all Americans. https://t.co/dVdfIovOLP — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump & Republicans should follow Democrats' lead & do everything in their power to ensure free & fair elections. I joined @CCAG & @CommonCause CT today to speak out against this calculated effort to undercut & underfund the USPS. https://t.co/H5HrsudErO — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump's attacks on the Postal Service should alarm every American. Starving the USPS of funds & blocking the ballot box is a despicable degradation of our democracy & a clear sabotage attempt. #DontMessWithUSPS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Wonderful to visit the Warner Theatre this afternoon to recognize the importance of passing the Save Our Stages Act. Venues like this are treasures that create cherished memories & foster an appreciation of the arts. https://t.co/m8lbP36v3E — PolitiTweet.org
