This Mental Health Month & always, groups like @NAMIConnecticut are supporting our communities. We are living in a time of unprecedented stress & uncertainty—it’s OK to not be OK. Please remember, help is available. You are not alone. https://t.co/I7Bg1kqIKO — PolitiTweet.org

At a time when mental health resources are needed more than ever, community mental health centers are facing closures & major cutbacks. Those suffering with mental health & addiction must not fall through the cracks. #FundMentalHealth — PolitiTweet.org

We should all be able to agree, bad actors should be held accountable in court. During this pandemic, courts have a key role to play in protecting worker, consumers, & businesses. https://t.co/plD0jrLo5a — PolitiTweet.org

They’ll seemingly stop at nothing—more compelling reason for prompt legislation on election security. This serious specter of corrupt interference demands action, on both sides of the aisle. https://t.co/D8XiSOHNwr — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Grenell corrupts intelligence—deeply politicizing declassification by unmasking confidential national security sources. Unconfirmed & unqualified, he should immediately be called before Senate committees, including Judiciary. https://t.co/V7MwztcT1b — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Outcry & outrage should lead to opposition in court & amici briefs seeking to uphold the rule of law. Voices now need to be heard in court. https://t.co/TLhrWcJIhb — PolitiTweet.org

Now our Republican colleagues have a choice: does the suffering of workers & families in their states require urgent action, or not? — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Heroes Act presents a bold vision for the next phase of COVID-19 recovery & relief. I’m pleased to see many provisions I fought for, including protections for frontline workers, funding for vital internet services, increased support for veterans & expanded testing at the VA. — PolitiTweet.org

Issuing refunds for flights cancelled by airlines due to COVID-19 is not only right—it’s the law. Americans want answers & their cash back—not confusing, misleading policies. @SenMarkey & I agree, DOT must take swift action if this problem persists. https://t.co/hL8EoL61MX — PolitiTweet.org

Republican leadership & party need to stop turning a blind eye to the realities of this virus. The people we represent are in dire straits. We must do our duty & continue to provide vital funding & federal support. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

According to McConnell, 80,000+ Americans dead & 30,000,000+ unemployed isn’t enough of an emergency for him to feel “the urgency of acting immediately.” Unspeakable, dangerous ignorance that flies in the face of Americans confronting this crisis. https://t.co/yIwfUcAVZa — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A Heroes Fund—which I’m championing—would give premium pay to these courageous frontline workers, along w/first responders, fire, police&others. It’s the least we can do to recognize their heroic sacrifices—& retain/recruit others. Also, more PPE is a must.https://t.co/pTS58DK0AB — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Real accountability demands a watchdog, not a lapdog, to stop the waste, fraud & favoritism pervading this administration. The only people threatened by oversight are the ones trying to game the system, or hide something. #StopCOVIDCorruption — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In the days since @SenWarren @ChrisCoons @RepJayapal @RepSarbanes & I proposed these oversight measures, Trump removed an Acting IG who blew the whistle on testing shortages, while his son-in-law oversaw an opaque project potentially fast-tracking supplies to political allies. — PolitiTweet.org

With the pandemic still raging, it’s vital the Navy has measures in place to guarantee the safety of all Sailors & prevent the further spread of this virus. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

.@ChrisVanHollen & I have repeatedly called for an inquiry into the troubling reports of the Navy’s bungled response to COVID-19 on USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT & other ships/subs. Today, the IG heeded our call to evaluate the Navy’s protocols—a step forward to ensure accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Food insecurity is real, hunger is urgent. @p2phelps is meeting a critical need in CT to help those struggling to put food on the table. I’ll continue to fight for federal funding to support organizations like this across our state. https://t.co/M92vwezQSj — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to join fellow DOJ alumni in calling for AG Barr’s resignation. Barr is not protecting justice, but prioritizing political patronage over the rule of law. Unacceptable—he must go. https://t.co/TuR4SPFaDn — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Saliva tests are easy, simple, safe—as I saw in CT. At home or in a car, they’re less intrusive than swabs, with potential for massive use. Now FDA must prioritize approval of these tests & labs.https://t.co/xqocpqOTPZ — PolitiTweet.org

Congress clearly intended to support small business owners—the mom & pop stores that line main streets across the country & power our economy. Now SBA & the Trump Administration must act on this report’s findings & ensure PPP functions the way it was meant to. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The results of this investigation reaffirm Congressional intent & vindicate the thousands of small business owners left out in the cold by SBA’s mismanagement of the Paycheck Protection Program. https://t.co/H9KtLMFSd0 — PolitiTweet.org
