Today at 3:30pm I’m hosting a tele-town hall to give CT constituents an update on COVID-19 & answer your questions. Tune in: https://t.co/hLIbzlolGP https://t.co/6RDi7923VU — PolitiTweet.org

Making sure taxpayer money goes to deserving small businesses—not politically connected special interests—requires critical oversight. We need to strengthen safeguards. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Free money for hedge funds—not our goal for PPP. This is exactly why tough oversight & transparency are vital. https://t.co/DNWtqgDzbv — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Enforcers must stop scammers & bottom feeders from exploiting COVID-19 & endangering health. False pitches & sky-high price hikes should be halted & prosecuted.https://t.co/OI7GGkFsZ2 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Navy along with Pentagon leaders have downplayed health hazards—putting servicemembers at serious risk. Infectious disease like COVID-19 is deeply dangerous, requiring stronger action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m demanding to know what more the Navy can do to protect sailors from COVID-19. 18 colleagues agree: The USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT’s painful experience must lead to better prevention & response. Lives are at stake. https://t.co/u5Q8smg95X — PolitiTweet.org

RT @AccessHealthCT: Are you or someone you know currently uninsured? There is still time to get covered! Call 855-365-2428 now thru Fri Ap… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Banks seizing CARES checks must stop. Get a grip on banking greed. Congress must do it if Trump Treasury officials won’t. This money was meant for food, medicine, rent & other struggling families’ needs. Not overdrawn accounts. Banks need to care. https://t.co/OPI7i9m0PS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Many Americans stranded abroad during the COVID-19 crisis had to pay sky-high costs to come home. This bill will reimburse Americans for often outrageous airline charges & State Dept flights. https://t.co/AYflpRVuRz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our goal was to help people not banks. The CARES checks are a lifeline for struggling families not a money grab for big finance corporations. Treasury must step up to slap down the banks. https://t.co/DoJunHiT49 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Please remember you are not alone. Safe Futures (860-701-6000) & @CTCADV (888-774-2900) are here to help. I’m also fighting for further funding for groups who provide essential support. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Shocking, sickening stories of domestic violence in our CT communities. Staying at home for COVID-19 is forcing victims & survivors of domestic violence into increasingly dangerous situations. https://t.co/PpVAfsb29p — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Absolutely alarming. Plummeting testing is fraught with peril—& reflects White House falsity. Massive testing, not less, is necessary for economic recovery. https://t.co/g2SMcRHihQ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress intended for $25B in passenger airline grants to be used as direct payroll aid not loans. These new conditions could cause employee cuts. Sec. Mnuchin must reverse course—if not, Congress should act to restore the original purpose of these grants. https://t.co/juKZcDBW6K — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Gall. By slowing production to add his name, Trump delays when people will receive these critical checks—all for his political gain. What’s more, it’s Americans’ money—taxpayer funds—not his. https://t.co/u9oGUjTolJ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Privacy protection must be a strict precondition, stringently enforced, to any app that tracks people’s movements—by the feds, Google, or anyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The plan to re-open America hinges on massive testing—along with contact tracing & effective treatment. The Trump Admin has failed on testing since day one. The message remains clear: Make the tests. https://t.co/rP4KWy5bst — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump’s bombastic finger pointing is no substitute for real fact finding. I’m working on creating an independent, bipartisan commission—to be included in an upcoming relief package & begin work when we surmount this crisis. Future preparedness will help save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Instead of Trump falsely blaming the WHO, or his faux review, America needs a Pandemic Review Commission—an independent, bipartisan investigation just like after 9/11. https://t.co/9E0u67xHga — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Republican roadblocks to relief payments—affecting millions—must be removed. No one should be denied vital help. Corrections must be made in the next emergency package. https://t.co/TZchVamPCv — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Unacceptable. During a pandemic the last thing we should do is underfund & undermine the WHO. They warned about an imminent, insidious threat, which Trump & his Admin chose to ignore. https://t.co/unV0nyjVLr — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Staying connected is vital during this pandemic. FCC's Lifeline program is ensuring millions of veterans, seniors & low-income households can access essential broadband & phone services. I'm leading 26 of my colleagues to urge support for Lifeline in future COVID relief packages. https://t.co/ce597vW4QT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m supporting efforts to vote remotely—so the Senate can be safe & effective. Having argued cases in the Supreme Court, I couldn’t have imagined doing it by teleconference. The unimaginable is now necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

If the US Supreme Court can work remotely, the Senate can vote remotely. https://t.co/tEu9X8K5og — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Deliciously brightening the day for health care heroes who spent Easter away from their families. Thanks to Food for The Front Lines for delivering food purchased from local restaurants. A win-win! https://t.co/4QIQSMhVHd — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The USPS is a lifeline for many; transporting medicines, test kits, & PPE—plus delivering our votes in November. The Trump Admin should stop blocking efforts to provide them pivotal funding. https://t.co/Z9CLSZsxt8 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Local journalism closures cost us all—undercutting information & community. That’s why I’m fighting to provide additional resources to support independent reporting & media outlets in the next emergency relief bill. https://t.co/aZhbDzeaAV — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Any action for states must include our territories, like Puerto Rico. The island is still recovering from multiple natural disasters as it faces this pandemic. Waive the 25% cost share for assistance & cover 100% of the disaster loans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Having failed to provide critical medical equipment, the least the Trump Admin can do is cover states’ cost share. If not, Congress must act to waive states’ 25% funding share in the next relief package. Red state or blue it’s real money. — PolitiTweet.org
