Finally, the 20-year failure to provide essential federal funding for gun violence research has ended. This is a vital step forward that will allow us to better understand the impacts of this epidemic. https://t.co/7wmGAj2Su5 — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to spearhead this major consumer protection step against intrusive, scam robocalls—providing new tools to block & deter them. A bipartisan win. It deserves a vote this week. https://t.co/jY92l09jBB — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenWarren & my new report shows that Eli Lilly has failed to deliver on its promise to put a more-affordable insulin product on the shelves. Instead, this pharmaceutical behemoth is charging astronomical prices for a drug people need to survive. https://t.co/qE1dl0D4wA — PolitiTweet.org

We are demanding witnesses & documents to ensure a full & fair trial. The American people deserve the facts & the truth. https://t.co/oYxqt7eEJ5 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This is what leadership looks like. Sen. Schumer’s letter proposes a fair & full process which requires witnesses & documents—blocked sweepingly by Trump so far. It’s a solid, significant start to laying ground rules for a balanced proceeding not one rigged at Trump’s behest. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Amazon’s reported predatory practices reek of antitrust lawbreaking—a classic textbook case for tough enforcement. Right away. Breaking up this bullying behemoth seems to be the best (& maybe only) remedy. https://t.co/lv44cB14bv — PolitiTweet.org

Another year should not pass without real action to honor Sandy Hook families&countless others across the country grieving for gun violence victims—in Parkland, Orlando, Las Vegas&elsewhere. A political movement is coalescing&it cannot be denied historic reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress’ inaction makes it complicit in the bloodshed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can honor those 26 beautiful lost lives by taking action to stop the epidemic of gun violence. This senseless scourge can be abated through common sense steps favored by overwhelming majorities of Americans—emergency risk protection order laws, universal background checks&etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our hearts still ache. The pain remains real. Seven years have passed, but the unspeakable horror of that day still haunts us. The courage&resilience of the Sandy Hook families&community—their decency&dignity—continue to inspire us. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Boundless courage & grace shown by Michael Song & family (@EthansLaw2). A powerful case for Ethan’s Law & other sensible steps to stop gun violence. We should honor victims & survivors with action. https://t.co/IpI8JA4Wv8 — PolitiTweet.org

Establishing a 988 hotline would give millions of Americans—including veterans, LGBTQ+ youth, & many others—simple, streamlined access to lifesaving mental health help & support. https://t.co/ASaQFRNalq — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to the men & women of the @USNationalGuard for 383 years of brave service. You’ve been #AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere. Happy Birthday! — PolitiTweet.org

Facebook’s rapacious consolidation & integration of Instagram, WhatsApp & Oculus is an affront to our antitrust laws. The FTC & DOJ cannot continue to leave Facebook’s provocations & anti-competitive conduct unchallenged. Action is overdue. Injunctions must only be the start. — PolitiTweet.org

Online bullying—even from the highest office—will not stop Greta or this movement. #BeBest https://t.co/MLvGPq1PcW — PolitiTweet.org

Failure by Coast Guard leadership to adequately address&investigate instances of harassment, bullying&retaliation at the Academy is completely inexcusable&unacceptable. I expect immediate&rigorous reform—ensuring transparency&accountability. https://t.co/uPHUfkD6mH — PolitiTweet.org

The catch, the borrower defense claims that students must submit now fall under a new “methodology.” This is DeVos’ latest ploy to get out of providing defrauded student borrowers’ the relief they are rightly owed. https://t.co/mbU1cfcdXn — PolitiTweet.org

The University of Phoenix lied to its students & now must pay the price for its underhanded actions. https://t.co/HnIvkPb2S8 — PolitiTweet.org

Did the FBI try & overthrow the presidency?—No Tap phones at Trump Tower?—No Plant informants/spies?—No The IG report makes clear the Mueller investigation was NOT a “scam” conducted by “scum,” but an essential response to a serious attack on our democracy. https://t.co/X6EMJ39whl — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @GovNedLamont for supporting & defending those escaping violence & tyranny. We are a nation of immigrants—the President’s attempts to snuff out the lamp of liberty is immoral & un-American. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate is about to confirm Lawrence VanDyke to a lifetime appointment on the Ninth Circuit. He told the NRA that he believes all “gun control laws are misdirected.” See for yourself: https://t.co/5YORJL67HR — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today, the House holds a hearing w/FAA officials & whistleblowers on certification of the 737 MAX. The Senate should schedule a hearing of its own. We are missing an important opportunity to further our investigation if we don’t follow suit. https://t.co/2v2I64lm08 — PolitiTweet.org

Yet again, a U.S. district court has seen Trump’s outrageous wall funding for what it truly is: an illegal raid of Congressionally approved military funds for a vanity project. https://t.co/RO4ZA4WOcz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Ordinarily, this indifference to the truth & blind adherence to ideology would be disqualifying in & of itself, but for Trump, these deep flaws are the reasons for VanDykes’ nomination. Loyal to the NRA, hostile to LGBTQ rights, & women’s reproductive choice—I will be voting NO. https://t.co/r1mHbZGDSX — PolitiTweet.org

Each individual’s unalienable rights must be respected & upheld. We all share the responsibility to fight with determination & dedication to ensure everyone’s basic dignity, equality, & humanity is not undercut or taken away. #HumanRightsDay — PolitiTweet.org

Over the last 2 yrs, the Trump Admin has manipulated our military for partisan gain in a dangerous disservice to our men & women in uniform, & a threat to military readiness & our national security. — PolitiTweet.org
