The Trump Doctrine: When in doubt, withdraw. Trump is abdicating American leadership in arms control & so many other areas of international relations—undermining our own national security & defense. https://t.co/Bth6V911GQ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s pattern of retaliation against whistleblowers & inspectors general is a clear & present threat to our democracy. Republicans are equally culpable if they surrender oversight responsibility. https://t.co/xeYLxMeLUT — PolitiTweet.org

During my time as the U.S. Attorney for Connecticut, I saw firsthand the vital role independent justice plays in preserving & protecting the rule of law. We must ensure this bedrock principle of our judiciary persists. — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI: To help ensure the fair & equal enforcement of our laws, I joined 1,000+ fellow former prosecutors in an amicus brief asking for a review of DOJ’s request to dismiss the Flynn case. — PolitiTweet.org

For public servants making untold sacrifices, what better way to say thanks than expanding opportunities to alleviate the weight of student debt. They’ve earned every dime they would get from the Strengthening Loan Forgiveness for Public Servants During the COVID-19 Crisis Act. https://t.co/LlGwpQnCw1 — PolitiTweet.org

Unacceptable for this unlawful & immoral ban to stand for even one day, let alone be extended indefinitely. COVID-19 cannot be a catch all pretext. https://t.co/nwCqtoIKAi — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In the middle of a pandemic, the Republican-led Senate is trying to give a lifetime appointment to a judge who has called the Affordable Care Act “perverse.” Unjustifiable & unforgivable. Yet another reprehensible attack on Americans' health care. #StopWilson https://t.co/UbVNLL8yoi — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The FAA’s proposed fixes are inadequate. We need far-reaching safety reforms, not minor shifts at the margins. Too many lives have been lost due to deep failings in the present certification process. Additional delay is indefensible. https://t.co/edUz2gj9uY — PolitiTweet.org

DJI's "donations" of drones to U.S. law enforcement are nothing short of a Trojan horse for the Chinese government. Our intelligence community's warnings about these devices are clear & compelling—we must swiftly stop this calculated ploy to harvest surveillance. — PolitiTweet.org

It takes a special kind of cynicism & heartlessness to express sadness for the lives lost to COVID-19 while stripping away grieving families' right to a day in court. Lawmakers who actively stand in the way of this due justice are prioritizing corporate profits over all else. — PolitiTweet.org

Only DOJ & the FTC have the tools to demand structural change at Google & to hold Google accountable. DOJ & the FTC must be bold & fearless in protecting consumers & competition against anti-competitive tactics & excessive market power. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Google has repeatedly been caught exploiting its behemoth power & abusing its dominance—stifling innovators, crushing competitors, & harming consumers. DOJ & the FTC must do more than wring hands & warn about abuse—they must end this cycle of impunity. https://t.co/tlu7OVMOR4 — PolitiTweet.org

The 3,400 flags in front of First Congregational Church of Greenwich remind us that this virus is having life & death consequences for our community. This morning as I placed the new flags, I was struck by the deep grief of these losses. https://t.co/iOAHGNLdcG — PolitiTweet.org

For parents & children alike, COVID-19 has brought heightened uncertainty & stress. Experts at @YaleCSC are sharing constructive ways to address mental health during this challenging time. https://t.co/G8JZF0xHiU — PolitiTweet.org

This time around my Republican colleagues won’t stand up for watchdogs. They’re OK with Trump's lapdogs. We need strong oversight safeguards—including protection for Inspectors General & whistleblowers—in the next relief package. https://t.co/bvp3B3GICk — PolitiTweet.org

How refreshing & inspiring—President Obama back with eloquence & elegance, making it cool to care. He lifts up caring about other human beings, justice, public service, & courage. Lighting a path in a dark time. https://t.co/x7NNUxQAfu — PolitiTweet.org

Hospital frontline workers need & deserve fair pay, decent hours, PPE & more. I stand with CHCA District 1199 to demand it—& federal action on our Heroes Fund bill to provide hazardous duty pay. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s attacks on the press are relentless, risible, & reprehensible. Enough is enough. https://t.co/ge7KYfKA5M — PolitiTweet.org

DC’s federal judges should replace Shea as US Attorney. He should have resigned by now, after corruptly discrediting his independence & integrity. The judiciary can protect the rule of law. https://t.co/DmZauNgZXy — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress must do more to protect IGs from these anti-democratic attacks. We cannot become a country that is OK with sweeping corruption under the rug. @SenWarren, @ChrisCoons, & my oversight safeguard proposals should be made into law. https://t.co/Q9SpRGE4Am — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Another outrageous Inspector General purge—again, a Friday night firing shows Trump's pernicious pattern of retaliation against career public servants & the need for stronger watchdog protections. https://t.co/Op3vNd7RMc — PolitiTweet.org

By passing my Public Health Emergency Privacy Act, we can set straightforward privacy protections so Americans are reassured that their personal information will only be used to stop the spread of COVID-19 & nothing more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The antitrust case against Google is clear & unequivocal. Forceful federal action is vital—now. No more indecision or stall tactics, bold enforcement against Google’s anticompetitive record is long overdue. https://t.co/ET2YyQW53l — PolitiTweet.org

.@WoodNTap is one of the hundreds of businesses that will be reopening in part next week. CT is relaxing restrictions in a smart, strategic, & cautious way. Gradual, data driven, science based guidelines must drive this process to ensure people's safety. https://t.co/8f35s4J6o0 — PolitiTweet.org
