My visits & conversations around CT over the past 2 weeks confirm it's common for test result delays of 4 days, a week, or more. Fast results are critical to tracing & stopping COVID-19's spread. CT needs HEROES Act resources. — PolitiTweet.org

Health, safety, dignity, & fair wages must be the norm not the exception. Passing the HEROES Act would be a step in the right direction towards achieving these goals. McConnell has to stop wasting time & bring this essential legislation to the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to stand with those taking part in #StrikeForBlackLives. As members of the Black community continue to be on the frontlines of the COVID-19 crisis, which has disproportionately affected Black lives, calls for hazard pay, adequate PPE, & layoff protections must be heard. https://t.co/2JoRsKEv63 — PolitiTweet.org

Peaceful protestors exercising their Constitutional rights aren't an enemy & shouldn't be attacked with weapons of war. The flow of DOD supplies to law enforcement must end. With 60 votes, we can pass the amendment I cosponsored w/@SenBrianSchatz & start to #DemilitarizeThePolice — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump's tin-pot dictator attempts to seem strong in the face of people exercising their First Amendment rights are deeply dangerous & undemocratic. The American people are not props for his political posturing. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

What we are seeing in Portland is not law enforcement, but a blatant disregard for Americans' rights. Unidentified federal officers should not be acting like a secret police force "disappearing" people off the streets. This authoritarian escalation must stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Fears of police state suppression hardly far-fetched as federal forces supplant local enforcers & crackdown in Portland, ignoring norms & laws. Judiciary Committee should investigate immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We need comprehensive solutions, not another bandaid: new data security & privacy laws, rigorous review of Chinese companies operating in the United States, & real criminal sanctions against Chinese entities that violate our laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ve been dismayed by the Trump administration’s eagerness to buddy up to Beijing while Chinese hackers steal from American businesses, compromise consumer data, & launch political disinformation campaigns. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

TikTok is a potential security menace, but banning TikTok hardly confronts the profound threat China poses to our national security, economy, & democracy. https://t.co/HPqjJvE5yn — PolitiTweet.org

We have lost a towering leader—a teacher & preacher of giant conscience, courage, & caring. Exactly, when we need him most—we must seek to emulate his good trouble & beloved community. https://t.co/zvjl2tq5Ya — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Undercutting the flow of data from hospitals, instead of committing to investment in CDC’s data modernization plan, is shortsighted & dangerous. I've advocated for additional funds for CDC’s Modernization Initiative to help update vital data infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Cover-up. Embarrassed by exploding COVID-19 numbers, Trump administration is concealing & seemingly manipulating them. The CDC needs to retain control over this info. The governors are protesting. So should all Americans. https://t.co/v1hA2zz7Bt — PolitiTweet.org

Frontline essential workers at supermarkets like Stop & Shop still serve & sacrifice daily—deserving recognition. I'm proud to join UFCW members as they call on Stop & Shop to extend essential pay increases. https://t.co/qqtcSAYxVT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

So many security red flags are raised by this criminal attack that the culprits should be tracked down as quickly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This hack bodes ill for November balloting. Twitter was long put on notice by the FTC about its repeated security lapses & failure to safeguard accounts. Count this incident as a near miss or shot across the bow. It could have been much worse with different targets. — PolitiTweet.org

Before 4pm today, stop by @ULGH64’s Diaper Drive. If you have a child under the age of 5 years old, you will be eligible to pick up free baby & toddler supplies, fresh food, ice cream, books, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is fooling no one by gutting a core environmental law under the guise of accelerating infrastructure. NEPA reviews help Americans protect themselves from polluting projects & gives communities of color an important regulatory voice when polluters impact them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Bypassing the CDC & playing politics with health data defies sound science, keeps Americans in the dark, & puts people in danger. Truth telling is vital. https://t.co/1buJWFUURc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The YWCA in New Britain’s child care program team talked with me about the challenges they face as a result of COVID-19. Daycare facilities need more PPE & sanitation supplies as well as funding for additional costs & support. The Senate must pass the Child Care is Essential Act. https://t.co/3g8TE0hCyK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This xenophobic #StudentBan was dangerously bad policy from the beginning. It should never have been floated as a defensible public health plan. International students aren’t a pawn in this admin’s political game & backtracking was the only acceptable action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congratulations Raina on being a Regeneron Science Talent Search finalist. Your work to protect bees from Varroa mites is a fantastic example of the innovative scientific solutions created by young people in CT. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Politicians yelling at local officials to reopen schools should be demanding passage of the HEROES Act—with federal support for vital safety & health measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Before demanding schools reopen, we must listen to educators, parents, & public health experts, & approve the necessary resources to keep everyone safe. Passing the HEROES Act would provide funding for state & local aid—vital to school safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The digital divide has deepened racial injustice—because the homework gap disproportionately impacts communities of color. The FCC’s abject inaction is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

COVID-19 has exacerbated the digital divide, leaving kids without a way to reliably access classwork. I joined the Hartford Public School community to discuss the need for a strong federal approach to address these broadband disparities, especially for communities of color. https://t.co/qJk2BBOBTi — PolitiTweet.org
