FAA seems to be getting religion on 737 MAX safety—finally & fortunately. No succumbing to Boeing pressure to speed deliveries & trainings at a risk to safety. FAA must at long last stand its ground. https://t.co/fplMj6pWVv — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to NRA members: For Wayne LaPierre it’s all about him. Internal corruption & conflict, crumbling power, plummeting credibility—& he enriches himself. Time to change supposed leaders—& policies—so they really reflect you & the national interest. https://t.co/kW8VUG11UX — PolitiTweet.org

RT @CTDPH: CT Health Commissioner, Renee Coleman-Mitchell and @SenBlumenthal just got their flu shot. https://t.co/nuxPv5RX7W https://t.co/… — PolitiTweet.org

After a lifetime of contempt for the law, Roger Stone now knows he is not above it. This Trump sycophant stands convicted of crimes going to the core of our justice system: witness tampering, lying under oath, obstruction. https://t.co/8oYGYLCAs3 — PolitiTweet.org

A profile in courage—braving lowlife bullying— Ambassador Yovanovitch embodies America’s highest ideals of public service. She rejected Trumpian corruption, putting her nation first, above self. How refreshing. How inspiring. — PolitiTweet.org

As I was on the Senate floor speaking about the need for universal background checks—after Rs blocked a vote today—I heard this devastating news. To the victims&families, we can't take back the loss&fear you're feeling, but we'll keep fighting to end this epidemic of violence. https://t.co/6Mg7L5NtR6 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s betrayal of Ukraine must end—with strong, unequivocal support against continued Russian invasion. Bipartisan action is needed to show Ukrainians we stand with them at this critical moment, a turning point with potential talks, despite political conflict in the Capitol. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We cannot allow Ukraine to become a casualty of Trump’s corruption, incompetence&confusion. As Ukraine seeks an end to ongoing Russian invasion, through possible negotiations, America must be in its corner, standing strong for their&our national security. https://t.co/6rbFBOjRDE — PolitiTweet.org

@JerryMoran @SenateCommerce Thank you to the survivors who came forward w/incredible courage&strength to tell their stories about the pervasive culture of abuse&lack of accountability. To the athletes who are watching, be assured we’re going to stand strong&make sure this kind of abuse doesn't happen again. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today, Sen @JerryMoran, @SenateCommerce & I've taken another step towards passing the Empowering Olympic&Amateur Athletes Act. This bill assures greater transparency&accountability—forcing a fundamental, seismic change in culture that will prioritize athletes over medals&profits. https://t.co/VmLhPDRq3E — PolitiTweet.org

This meeting will be a show & a sham not an attempt to hold Turkey accountable for their deadly, undemocratic actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Will Trump ask Erdogan about Turkish violations of the ceasefire?—No Turkish-backed forces use of chemical weapons on civilians?—No Turkey’s purchase of the Russian S-400 air defense system?—No The state of Trump Tower Istanbul?—Sure — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Trump embraces & welcomes to the White House a man who committed war crimes & attacked our Kurdish partners. https://t.co/xp7Azb88uH — PolitiTweet.org

Extreme acts of animal cruelty—such as crushing, maiming, & torturing—will soon be illegal once the President signs the PACT Act into law. This legislation will help protect puppies like Pearl & her sisters, as well as other pets, from these heinously inhumane crimes. https://t.co/78RIFBuy6B — PolitiTweet.org

#HomeisHere for the hundreds of thousands of #Dreamers living in the United States. We cannot let the President take away their rights & endanger their futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Sandy Hook families have successfully surmounted a sweetheart federal statute favoring gun companies. I’ll continue the fight to repeal the federal law (PLCAA) that has closed courthouse doors to countless other victims & families. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT’s recognition of rights for gun violence survivors against manufacturers now stands as a historic legal precedent. Newtown families will now have their day in court—access to basic justice—against companies that wrongly sold & promoted assault weapons. https://t.co/ZezrSeTukE — PolitiTweet.org

Voluntary steps are no substitute for vigorous & enforceable rules. It’s up to Congress to pass privacy legislation that sets a strong national standard. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Microsoft is proving that tech companies can provide privacy protections to all Americans, it’s a matter of will & respect for consumers. I applaud this willingness to put its money where its mouth is—but we need broad reform of the use of private data. https://t.co/A6nSZO5zNu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Google has secretly mined the health records of tens of millions of Americans to drive up costs to patients. Blatant disregard for privacy, public well-being, & basic norms is now core to Google’s business model. This abuse is beyond shameful. https://t.co/BO41AHyfDa — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to honor the 928th MWD Detachment of the CT Army National Guard on #VeteransDay. These canine heroes & their handlers serve here at home & in combat abroad. They save lives on the battlefield & deserve our thanks & care when they return. https://t.co/B1lvElVGgS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We owe tremendous gratitude to the brave men & women who have defended our great nation & Constitution. This #VeteransDay & every day we appreciate our servicemembers’—& their families’—selfless sacrifices. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thanks to @MomsDemand & other powerhouse grassroots groups, the NRA is imploding. This movement is more powerful than ever—indeed stronger every day. @shannonrwatts is right, Senate inaction comes with a body count. https://t.co/LCsXrn5Wsw — PolitiTweet.org

For 244 years, the United States Marine Corps has defended freedom around the world. Thank you to the brave men & women of the @USMC for your selfless service & commitment to our country’s security & safety. #SemperFi — PolitiTweet.org

CDC’s findings will help save lives, but countless more will be lost unless the FDA acts now&Trump stops delaying his much vaunted action to end the vaping epidemic. Ban flavors (including mint/menthol), outlaw hidden devices (vaping watches, pens, sweatshirts)&raise excise taxes — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

2,000+ sick & 39 killed from the vaping-related illness—& the number continues to rise. FDA must start doing its job & regulate vaping products. People’s health & lives are at stake. https://t.co/3PFNDph1Sh — PolitiTweet.org

Amtrak’s forced arbitration clause closes the courthouse to riders injured on one of their trains. More reason to pass the #FAIRAct to help ensure people challenging corporate misconduct can have their day in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Looking the other way isn’t the same as doing the right thing. The country deserves better than Bill Barr. https://t.co/9wxN8R33Ma — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

More deeply disturbing evidence that FAA is part of a broken system. Defying their technical specialists’ concerns & deferring to Boeing on safety seemingly is its standard procedure for the 737 MAX & now possibly other planes. Far reaching reform is urgently needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This spy case is the tip of the iceberg of Saudi malicious misdeeds&crimes, demanding America repudiation&ending arms sales. Killing/torture, repressing&murdering dissidents, supporting civil wars&allegedly aiding/abetting 9/11 terrorists—are all part of a pernicious pattern. — PolitiTweet.org
