The N River Tunnel is a vital transport artery. Inaction to address its aging infrastructure could've catastrophic consequences. To prevent a disaster that would grind the region to a standstill, my colleagues&I demand @USDOTFRA approve plans to advance the Hudson Tunnel Project. — PolitiTweet.org

It's difficult to relive these losses, but you're helping build a movement. Your voices have an impact. I’m thankful to all who bravely share their story&take bold action to create change. This Gun Violence Survivors week, please read #MomentsThatSurvive: https://t.co/6GqmG4k1AI — PolitiTweet.org

Public servants came forward at great risk to their jobs&personal safety to speak the truth. At a time when the American people are understandably cynical about our political institutions, these patriots should inspire hope. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There is still reason for faith in the resilience of our democratic institutions: For the first time, a senator voted to remove a president from his own party from office. In direct contrast w/Trump, House&Senate members voted their conscience instead of political self-interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Too many of my Senate colleagues put on blindfolds&then complained that they couldn’t see. Too many deluded themselves into thinking that Donald Trump learned his lesson, even as he publicly boasts that he can do anything he wants. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This verdict is no vindication or victory. Trump sold out our national security&committed a crime—bribery—specifically named in the Constitution as demanding impeachment&removal. The Senate reached the wrong verdict, but there is a Court of Appeals: the court of public opinion. — PolitiTweet.org

The Customs & Border Protection agency will now have increased ability to hide their egregious actions from the American people. This new designation is a threat to critical oversight & due process. https://t.co/y3hs1l5PTt — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As we make this momentous decision, I implore each of my colleagues to think about the gravity of what we will do if we fail to convict this president. History will haunt my colleagues who fail to meet this challenge. https://t.co/lJzncfzDZh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Culpability seems pretty clear to me. The president solicited a bribe when he sought a personal benefit, an investigation of his political opponent, a smear of his rival in exchange for two official acts—military aid & a White House meeting. https://t.co/zcRTSDh7Ug — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As I think back on this impeachment trial, I will remember vividly the bravery of dedicated public servants who had everything to lose & nothing to gain by telling the American people the truth about Donald Trump & his scheme to corruptly use his power for personal benefit. https://t.co/OP8GvKJPge — PolitiTweet.org

After my colleagues denied the American people witnesses & documents, the very least we can do is debate in the open. To close the doors & block the public would be abhorrent to the principles of transparency & our Constitutional obligations. https://t.co/6s32aXLv5U — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This expanded ban violates moral & Constitutional principles. Just because the ban is less brazen doesn’t mean it’s less bigoted. We should be welcoming diverse immigrants & refugees, not closing our doors to a growing list of ‘undesirable’ countries. https://t.co/CYYLYFCnFi — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As I sat in the Senate chamber & cast my vote in favor of witnesses & documents, I was so deeply disappointed & dismayed to see the partisan divide. A betrayal of our Constitutional obligation. https://t.co/AfgN513zIc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our vote isn’t just about whether Trump solicited a bribe, corruptly abusing his power for personal political gain—it’s about what kind of country we want America to be. Trump may believe he answers to no one, but I still believe that we’re accountable to the people we serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Senate deliberations should be fully open to the public. After a White House cover-up & a sham Senate trial, the very least we owe the American people is complete transparency in how we are contemplating this hugely consequential decision. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The facts will come out. Thank goodness the @nytimes & the American free press are doing the investigative work that the Senate is too cowardly to do itself. https://t.co/fR6mxqvKIe — PolitiTweet.org

YouTube influencers & their financial sponsors have flouted the law to commoditize & manipulate children. The FTC cannot solely nudge & remind those wrongly reaping millions off kids & parents. Only real enforcement against kid influencers will stop these illegal practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Chances are high you've unknowingly agreed to “terms & conditions” that forfeited your right to hold companies accountable for predatory, discriminatory, unsafe practices. Forced arbitration is a stealthy way to prevent you from having your day in court. https://t.co/Bqzf95I8Y6 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As we ask our questions, Republicans sadly seem to be hardening their stance against witnesses & documents. Even as they complain about a lack of information, they are saying they don’t need any more facts. They cannot have it both ways. https://t.co/z9vWTaCu6B — PolitiTweet.org
