Michael is a dedicated environmental advocate, family man, & treasured friend of many years. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join Michael Dunn & congratulate him on receiving the Carnegie Medal for an extraordinary act of heroism. Without a thought for his own safety, Michael jumped into a strong current to try to save someone in trouble. https://t.co/kd0xdS3naT — PolitiTweet.org

Small businesses in desperate need of funding had less access than larger companies. I’ll be asking for more information from Treasury officials to assure Connecticut businesses, especially smaller ones, are treated fairly. We must learn from the mistakes & pass the CORE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This data—long-overdue—raises increasingly serious questions about possible misallocation of PPP funds. I’ll be closely scrutinizing the list & seeking investigation of any misguided decisions, favoritism, or wrongdoing. https://t.co/2HpacFhErW — PolitiTweet.org

WHO must heed science—warning that airborne spread of COVID-19 is a deadly menace. With U.S. support, it should provide full truth telling to help prevent aerosol infection. https://t.co/NoZBrzIVv1 — PolitiTweet.org

Vanessa Guillen’s family deserves answers. There must be an independent inquiry into her tragic murder & a broader IG investigation into sexual harassment in the Army. I demand #JusticeforVanessa https://t.co/j014akYvum — PolitiTweet.org

Helpful advice for people who may have mistakenly discarded their stimulus payments: you deserve this money. — PolitiTweet.org

As July Fourth reminds us, America is always aspirational. We can do better. We must do better. I believe we will do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m also inspired by the millions who have marched in our streets calling out just how much work remains to fulfill our founding promise—a promise that was, when it was written, limited by race, gender, & class & has been broken far too often. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m thankful for the servicemembers who protect our nation, but also the frontline workers who have served & sacrificed, w/o expectation of applause or acclaim. They both embody uniquely American values: when tested by adversity & adversaries, we come together. Out of many, one. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Fourth of July is a day to remember the tremendous promise of a new nation, the ideals of our founding, & the resilience that has steadied America for more than 200 years. This year’s celebration will be different, but no less special. — PolitiTweet.org

Supreme Court aids & abets Republican voting suppression—another rose tossed to the far right despite a few recent thorns. This egregious ruling could spur other states to double down on restrictions. Resistance to them must be redoubled too. https://t.co/7Ho46BYLTa — PolitiTweet.org

This bill will tremendously help hundreds of thousands of veterans harmed by the VA’s inexcusable emergency care claim denials. Congress must put an end to the VA’s indefensible actions that hurt the veterans it has a duty to protect & pass this legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We are moving forward w/a narrowly crafted & tailored approach. The EARN IT Act is targeted to help victims & survivors of this absolutely hideous & insidious torture, rape, exploitation, that haunts survivors for their lifetimes after it initially appears.https://t.co/vUKZTg8ebl — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I want to thank victims & survivors & their loved ones, who have come forward. They've given energy & life to this movement. There is no reason for these tech platforms to have blanket immunity, a shield against any accountability that no other industry enjoys in the same way. https://t.co/EGhRPYrMKB — PolitiTweet.org

The Commerce Department must provide whatever specific, justifiable redactions it has in the next week, or the IG should release the full report without them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This craven cover-up is shocking—but sadly unsurprising. The Administration is muzzling an independent IG so they can hide Trump’s pathetic attempts to justify lying to the American people about an extreme weather event. https://t.co/lckvLwYWOA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

To shed some light on what the Trump Admin is condoning: this type of discrimination is what Black renters face every day.https://t.co/BaE4s7ugIn — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

While our country is grappling with dismantling systemic racism & overcoming a pandemic contributing to housing insecurity, the Trump Admin is seeking to rollback safeguards for minority renters. Diversity makes communities stronger. I'll keep fighting for these protections. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It's long past due for Boeing to be held accountable—& for the FAA to improve its certification process. As the FAA begins to unground the 737 MAX, I'll continue to fight for justice for the victims & to ensure the plane is kept out of the sky until it is found completely safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The IG’s report makes crystal clear that the Boeing 737 MAX crashes were the direct result of a pattern of deliberate concealment. The report lays bare the company’s reprehensible actions & the FAA’s deficient oversight.https://t.co/p4UPPbper4 — PolitiTweet.org

Over the past two years more than one hundred children have died in hot cars, a totally preventable death. To save kids’ lives we need to pass the Hot Cars Act. https://t.co/YYRCntFQIr — PolitiTweet.org

The investigation briefed to us today was full of holes & gaps—a Swiss cheese of intelligence. There must be more. American lives are at stake. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Cut to the core truth: The buck stops with the President. Why isn't he holding Russia & his buddy Putin accountable for putting bounties on American servicemembers' lives? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The classified briefing today lacked the right briefers—who can tell us what Trump knew, when he knew it, & why he failed to act against Russia's ongoing support for the Taliban killing American troops. — PolitiTweet.org
