Nancy Beck fits the Trump Admin’s pattern—appoint people who’ve opposed the work of the agency that they are supposed to lead. Dr. Beck’s record is antithetical to the CPSC’s mission. She is anti-environment. She is anti-science. She is anti-consumer. https://t.co/ZbwkCHOGzF — PolitiTweet.org

Discriminatory practices that strip away the basic civil rights of LGBTQ+ individuals threaten the core values of our nation. Just on Friday, Trump showed that the rights of LGBTQ+ Americans are still on the chopping block. Now more than ever, Congress must pass the #EqualityAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Until today, a person could be fired for being LGBTQ+ in 26 states—not anymore. SCOTUS’ decision makes it illegal to discriminate against workers simply for their sexual orientation or gender identity. A huge win for equality & LGBTQ+ Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Strong oversight isn’t about political punishment, it’s about making sure that the people who really need relief are the ones who receive it. Real accountability demands a watchdog, not a lapdog, to stop the waste, fraud & favoritism pervading this Administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Just days ago, Sec Mnuchin called the recipients of taxpayer COVID-19 relief ‘proprietary information’ while refusing to disclose which giant corporations & Trump donors had accessed money meant for small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Trump’s war on independent oversight & his purging of the ranks of IGs is a crisis—a pernicious & ongoing attack. To help ensure the building blocks of our democracy remain intact, Congress needs to pass @SenWarren, @ChrisCoons, @RepJayapal, @RepSarbanes, & my CORE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m visiting Uncle Joe’s restaurant in Bridgeport today to highlight how black-owned businesses are hurting—disproportionately. The number has plummeted by 41% nationally since February (1.1 million to 640,000). A troubling sign of economic distress. https://t.co/agcRLvj2IA — PolitiTweet.org

For 245 years the brave servicemembers of the @USArmy have defended our country & our freedom. Thank you to all the men & women—past, present, & future—for your unwavering commitment, bravery, & sacrifice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In the midst of this justice crisis, our flag is a meaningful & dynamic symbol—today, on Flag Day, & every day. As our country moves forward in our ongoing work to create a more perfect union, it has the power to bring us together as Americans, so we can meet this moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This Pride month, Trump&his admin are achieving their long-term goal of dismantling protections for LGBTQ+ people. Harmful, hate-filled rollbacks will make it easier for hospitals & health care workers to discriminate based on gender or sexual orientation. https://t.co/3kq2Bh71xN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Let’s count Trump’s insults added to injuries in his Tulsa political rally—endangering lives, denying accountability, defiling the Juneteenth holiday, demeaning Black deaths & history, dividing the nation, & many more. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Denying passengers real legal rights & redress—airlines are burying arbitration clauses in tiny print, barring courthouse doors. Yet another consumer atrocity, after billions in taxpayer bailouts. https://t.co/S86SI7nXer — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

4 yrs ago 49 lives were taken at Pulse Nightclub. Congress could help prevent another horrific tragedy, but McConnell stymies & stonewalls any attempt at passing gun violence prevention measures. Enough is enough. My Republican colleagues should honor those we have lost w/action. https://t.co/mZB1ZQuz2p — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It was so exciting to visit @rhythmbrewingco & talk with Alisa Bowens-Mercado about the importance of supporting black-owned businesses & her work as the first African American woman to own a brewing company in CT. https://t.co/F3ixE1uduX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Even during a pandemic, DeVos makes sure the Education Department propagates this administration’s xenophobic agenda. Roadblocks between students & COVID-19 emergency funds will steamroll educations & hinder young people pursuing their dreams. https://t.co/BoL5kxlCiX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No reason, no precedent, no law to justify throttling Judge Sullivan’s legitimate consideration of DOJ’s illegitimate dismissal of Flynn’s convictions. As one of a thousand former federal prosecutors who joined in opposing DOJ, I’m glad the appellate court seems skeptical. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Gen. Milley has learned a lesson, forcefully stated, but Trump has not. He continues to threaten misuse of our military against Americans. That’s why I’ll continue to fight for Insurrection Act reform, like the CIVIL Act, imposing checks & accountability. https://t.co/lUJao2bCTo — PolitiTweet.org

We owe an immense debt of gratitude to the military families who make sacrifices every day in service to our country—supporting their well-being is our responsibility, & absolutely fundamental to our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m proud to have championed these NDAA measures, which will give military moms, dads, partners, & kids more resources & greater support to withstand the rigors of life in the military. https://t.co/pN48LnzLUT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Real teeth are needed to enforce a NDAA prohibition against using military force to suppress free speech. I’ll continue the fight for oversight, my CIVIL Act, forcing the President to consult with Congress before use of military force against Americans. https://t.co/41ewPPrHST — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Renaming bases & monuments has overwhelming Senate bipartisan support— shown by NDAA bill just released in our Armed Services Committee markup. Trump’s resistance cannot stop it. It’s right, & necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to our manufacturing workforce‘s dedication & supreme skill, CT is the hub of excellence for our nation’s defense industry. — PolitiTweet.org

This legislation’s unmatched, robust investment in strategic defense tools—submarines, helicopters, & aircraft built in CT—will keep our country secure & our state’s economy strong. — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to have fought for funding in this year’s NDAA to support thousands of high-quality jobs in CT & to ensure our armed forces have the resources to keep our nation & themselves safe. https://t.co/WumCNo8472 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress on the cusp of significant steps to rename bases & monuments, regardless of Trump’s resistance. https://t.co/x2jsQPbgbC — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can & must re-imagine what just policing looks like in our country. Passing the #JusticeInPolicing Act is a step towards ending police brutality, holding police accountable, improving transparency, & creating change that safeguards every American’s right to safety & justice. https://t.co/e6sa8pzGzw — PolitiTweet.org
