Furniture that is inadequately anchored/dangerously top-heavy are hidden household threats. The Senate must follow the House’s lead & pass the STURDY ACT. We must set safety standards to prevent the tragic loss of more kids like Conner in FL & JR in CT. https://t.co/ObsLSNAwzL — PolitiTweet.org

CA, CT & other states want to listen to scientists & ensure cleaner air for their residents. The Trump admin's attempt to take away that authority is unwise & unconstitutional, turning its back on decades of Clean Air Act policies & its responsibility to protect Americans' health — PolitiTweet.org

Chilling, heartbreaking, & difficult to watch. We must take action so our kids do not have to go #BackToSchool fearing for their lives. #ProtectOurKids — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Call it a culture of capitulation, what the public sees is a facade w/respect to Big Tech. We need more than a task force, we need action. Tech companies are structuring their businesses so that you can’t unscramble the egg—dominating the market share & pushing out competitors. https://t.co/7OS1cGGcDM — PolitiTweet.org

I am deeply alarmed by the dangerous & damaging contaminants resulting from chemical reactions in flavored e-cigs. Thanks to the scientists @YalePsych for your vital research—that provides dynamic & significant context—into this epidemic of youth nicotine addiction. https://t.co/JMM4g4eh6n — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Purdue Pharma must be pursued through bankruptcy court—&also through the criminal process. Follow the money, but also criminal culpability for continuing to promote addiction&death after promising to stop in the 2007 court settlement w/DOJ, CT&other states.https://t.co/cDijjo3BmI — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to @CREWcrew on today’s ruling in their Emoluments Clause lawsuit—a major victory for the businesses hurt by President Trump’s violations of the Constitution & for the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

I stand with 9/11 families who are seeking simple justice. It is essential Congress now act to help these brave families have their day in court. https://t.co/lqBO7xC5hh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No surprise here—Juul & other vaping companies mounting a lobbying campaign to cripple an FDA flavors ban. If the FDA caves, even on menthol & mint, it loses all credibility. https://t.co/kUH7Lz0NxF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ll be standing with Eagleson & McGinley family members tomorrow in Hartford demanding full disclosure of all relevant evidence. That’s why we fought for JASTA: They deserve their day in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This very disappointingly limited release—long overdue—is only the beginning of disclosure that I have been demanding so 9/11 families can make their case against Saudi state terrorist enablers. https://t.co/l1Yc1oEIcF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

FDA foot dragging has helped spawn a vaping epidemic—& potentially a new generation of nicotine addicts. Dr. Sharpless’ defense of delay & inaction in our meeting today was abjectly inadequate. Now is the time for real action. https://t.co/SlBzbwipek — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I demanded Trump’s Air Force Secretary nominee Barrett pledge a service-wide ban on stays at Trump properties & a full accounting of spending there so far. If she refuses, I’ll seek to stop her nomination. Republican colleagues should join. https://t.co/TZvrbgory0 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump Admin’s blatant disregard for science, the environment & common sense continues. This reckless ‘dirty water rule’ will threaten the safety of our water & environment—putting the health of millions in CT & around the country at grave risk. https://t.co/M9FeOKsQ9C — PolitiTweet.org

These asylum seekers are escaping persecution & violence that will likely follow them through neighboring countries—making them more & more at the mercy of criminal exploit & trafficking. https://t.co/F4E6ZYwrfP — PolitiTweet.org

In the pursuit of profits @amazon avoids regulatory&legal oversight by increasingly utilizing unsustainable, dangerous delivery expectations/methods. @SenSherrodBrown @SenWarren&I demand they stop disregarding workers’&consumers' rights&start prioritizing higher safety standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Postal inspections for illicit drugs like fentanyl have been required for more than a year by legislation I supported, but enforcement has been dismal. The administration must act now. https://t.co/9NS6PtKqMI — PolitiTweet.org

Listen to these business leaders, Mr. President & Mitch McConnell. They’re part of a seismic movement sweeping America. Seize this historic moment to save lives. We seem so close to significant first steps—on emergency risk protection orders, background checks & other reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

If facts support these disturbing allegations, the NFL must take serious action against Brown, potentially bar him forever. Sexual assault is disqualifying. Fans & lawmakers are watching the NFL—looking for real enforcement of stated standards, more than past hollow words. — PolitiTweet.org

9/11 victims' families deserve their day in court. FBI & other agencies must release documents necessary to prove their case & help seek justice against 9/11 terrorist state sponsors. — PolitiTweet.org
