Chilling & shocking: The Administration failed to answer fundamental questions during the classified Armed Services Committee briefing on Russian payments to the Taliban to kill our troops. But Americans need & deserve answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Good news for small businesses still struggling. I’ve talked to hundreds in CT who need these funds as a lifeline to stay afloat. This last minute bipartisan rescue must go to small businesses that need it most. https://t.co/PbMNDJMqu6 — PolitiTweet.org

@SenBooker & my College Athlete Pandemic Safety (CAPS) Act restores the rights schools have tried to strip away from college athletes & makes clear: their health & safety is a non-negotiable priority. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Forcing college athletes to sign away their rights or risk losing their scholarships in the middle of a pandemic is just the latest in a litany of unacceptable actions schools have taken to exploit these young people. — PolitiTweet.org

No Leftovers (https://t.co/sXbPhulrhi) in Norwalk is a restaurant providing Caribbean-inspired food & drinks for customers on the run. Thanks, Lloyd Mellad, for chatting with me yesterday about your business & the impacts you are seeing from COVID-19. https://t.co/nPdeyr7NyP — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than needlessly buying products with highly hazardous PFAS chemicals, DOD should lead the nation in seeking safer, widely available alternatives. I’m proud to introduce the bipartisan & bicameral PFAS Free Military Purchasing Act to protect our servicemembers' health. — PolitiTweet.org

Online access is a lifeline for families right now—connecting them with loved ones, employment resources, their children’s teachers, & remote healthcare providers. Passing the Emergency Broadband Connections Act will help ensure people are able to stay connected. — PolitiTweet.org

Silence is shameful & spineless. Republican colleagues have run out of fig leaves as Trump’s buddy Putin buys murders of American troops. Hold Trump accountable or go home. https://t.co/i1v3bsOedU — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As opponents continue efforts to chip away & destroy women’s rights, the fight must be redoubled. I’ll continue to work for the Women’s Health Protection Act to safeguard reproductive rights no matter where women may live. #ActForWomen — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This historic victory for reproductive rights is a landmark legal win against radical politicians relentlessly attacking reproductive rights all around America. The court has sent an unmistakable message: key constitutional precedent still stands strong. https://t.co/aKwnAtxZOz — PolitiTweet.org

The director of the CFPB should be fighting for the American people not Wall Street bigwigs. Protecting working families must be this agency’s number one priority—putting people before corporate profits & political cronies. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Senator Warren is right, even after this #SCOTUS ruling, the CFPB is here to stay. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

SASC must have a hearing on these intelligence reports to determine how to protect our troops in Afghanistan & hold Russia accountable for incentivizing the deaths of American servicemembers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Trump & his Admin demonstrate dangerous incompetence—risking the lives of our servicemembers & endangering national security. Once again seemingly believing Putin over US intelligence & allowing Russia’s actions to go unchecked. https://t.co/7sroqmQtJ8 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A victory for women & the people of Louisiana, but too close for complacency. A continuing battle ahead against these outlandishly unconstitutional restrictions on reproductive healthcare⁠—a battle that can be won with passage of the Women's Health Protection Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Officials distorting the truth & deceiving the public—deadly mistakes that deepened the last catastrophic pandemic 100 years ago. Read The Great Influenza, by John Barry. Trump repeats historic failings, causing needless fatalities. https://t.co/XpvX7HYhLx — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No federal standards, no federal enforcement—this total lack of leadership in air safety seems inconceivable in the midst of ongoing crisis. It’s unconscionable—as COVID-19 tragically kills more & more innocent Americans. https://t.co/t903uiWL7y — PolitiTweet.org

To learn from mistakes made, whether by international organizations or the Trump Administration, we need a 9/11 type commission—as I have called for—objective & independent in helping better prepare & respond to public health emergencies. https://t.co/WYOh8e9BU1 — PolitiTweet.org

The United States must be a leader in world health—including support for a more capable WHO—but also ensure that lessons are learned. — PolitiTweet.org

Corporations start pulling their money & Facebook does the bare minimum to address both their “political problem” & plummeting stock prices, while ignoring the rest of the hate that permeates & perpetuates on their site. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m introducing the PFAS Free Military Purchasing Act w/@RepSlotkin to prohibit DOD from purchasing certain items with these pervasive, persistent, & toxic chemicals. This bill is critical to reducing PFAS exposure among servicemembers & military families. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This is not simply an issue of maintaining & preserving our pristine natural resources. This is an issue of public & environmental health—for ourselves & generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Farmington River, damaged by PFAS contamination, is behind me as I stand w/environmental advocates. I support @SenatorShaheen’s NDAA amendment to better reimburse communities for clean-up, to ensure DOD uses PFAS-free products, & to classify these forever chemicals as hazardous. https://t.co/77F7DWioUB — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The only surprise is Trump’s continued defiance. Congress should act immediately to bar this illegal diversion of vital military resources to a needless, wasteful wall. My amendment to the NDAA, hopefully to be passed this week, would do so. https://t.co/chsihN5hbB — PolitiTweet.org
