Piling on cruel & inhumane policies, Trump uses deportation as a means to deny medical treatment. Shameful. https://t.co/ggEOELatRU — PolitiTweet.org

Vaping companies are using Big Tobacco’s playbook to hook another generation on addictive substances. Large percentages of our youth don't understand the dangers of these products—costing kids their health. Flavored e-cigarettes must be pulled off the shelves. https://t.co/epr1CJ7hiA — PolitiTweet.org

Americans purchasing tickets from Ticketmaster-Live Nation have grown sick & tired of sky-high fees. @SenAmyKlobuchar & I are calling on DOJ to investigate this anticompetitive market & take action to ensure consumers have a transparent ticketing process. https://t.co/wCwZVxiTDF — PolitiTweet.org

Instead of preparing relief efforts, Trump is transferring millions out of FEMA to his anti-immigration efforts at the border. The consequences could be disastrous, even deadly. Puerto Ricans deserve to know what the federal emergency response will be, & who will be accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

As Dorian hits Puerto Rico, the Trump Admin seems to have learned nothing from its shameful failure in Hurricane Maria. Fellow Americans on the island, still struggling to recover from Maria, apparently again will be denied the federal aid they need & deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Kevin Kane will be missed as a law enforcer of extraordinary distinction&dedication. He leaves a legacy of tough but fair prosecuting, deep caring for crime victims&consistent collaboration w/colleagues. I was proud to work w/him as a state official&am honored by his friendship. — PolitiTweet.org

The evidence is clear—every day the food industry is targeting our kids with unhealthy food & drink ads. It used to be Joe Camel, now it’s Cap’n Crunch. We must set higher standards to protect children from this marketing manipulation. https://t.co/4FV5nSkgyH — PolitiTweet.org

The price of EpiPens has skyrocketed over the past decade. A drug that used to sell for just over $100 for a two-pack now sells for hundreds more. This is a national scandal—Mylan & other drug makers must reduce its prices to reduce the burden on families. https://t.co/Dd0IUnGQ1Y — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s thirst for self-enrichment knows no bounds. This textbook example of putting personal profit over public good is exactly what the Foreign Emoluments Clause sought to prevent & why I am challenging Trump’s affront to the Constitution in court. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
No president should profit from their position of power. Our Founding Fathers understood that accepting foreign payments would open the door to prioritizing personal gain over our country’s interests. Illicit self-enrichment seems to be the historic Trump hallmark. — PolitiTweet.org

Memo to the President: The G7 summit is not an international infomercial for your private Florida golf club. https://t.co/UoX64VTCcg — PolitiTweet.org

He leaves an enduring legacy—a lifetime of giving back to Bridgeport & CT, deeply devoted friends & a beautiful family. I’ll miss him as a friend of decades, whose passion for public service & humanity made him a model. My heart goes out to his family at this time of loss. — PolitiTweet.org

A fierce & fearless fighter for justice, Charlie Tisdale led by his own example as a trailblazer & civil rights warrior. Larger than life, he mentored new leaders & touched countless lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Count me in for civility, Cindy! Thank you for courage & conviction that would make John McCain proud— & all of us proud to be your friend. https://t.co/GmCB0gOKYw — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Mr. President, would you even follow your own edict that U.S. companies stop doing business w/China? What about Trump trademarks & collaborations w/the Chinese gov’t? Full disclosure about your business in China—& full compliance w/the Emoluments Clause—is the least you can do. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Pretty ironic to hear President Trump “hereby declare” all American companies stop doing business in China when he STILL hasn’t come clean about his own dealings with governments overseas, as required by the U.S. Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

The menace of robocalls has made our phones unusable & robbed money from people’s pockets. State AGs’ have now shown that carriers can & should be doing more. Congress must also take action & legally require free blocking tools for consumers. https://t.co/Jt9gZle7DS — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Fentanyl is fatally poisoning Americans because the US Postal Service is unconscionably failing to follow the law that I helped pass requiring drug shipments be tracked & stopped. This lapse is costing countless lives. https://t.co/XPczjTGRGJ — PolitiTweet.org

Amazon’s failure to remove illegal, deadly, & deceptive products from their site threatens consumer safety. They must prioritize safety over profits. Swift action must be taken to stop the sale of these dangerous products. https://t.co/dIowZAWMd2 — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must also take action & follow through on growing bipartisan momentum for Extreme Risk Protection Orders. Any delay in passing this vital reform will cost lives. https://t.co/NF9Yw7ZvBv — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan push for Extreme Risk Protection Orders continues to grow—making passage of this lifesaving legislation within realistic reach. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Our goal is to save as many lives as possible as quickly as possible. Extreme Risk Protection Orders can build consensus & break the ice for additional comprehensive measures. — PolitiTweet.org

CT is a model. Providing grants & incentives to states to enable law enforcement & courts to remove guns when there’s an extreme risk of danger to oneself or others is a forceful, practical measure to help keep our communities, families, & friends safe. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Hot take for the President & Congress’ leaders: now is the time for action. The American people have waited long enough for commonsense steps—like Extreme Risk Protection Orders—to make America safer from gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

This gag rule is stupid, destructive and just plain mean. And it's illegal. #ProtectX https://t.co/F9UKGVSw3w — PolitiTweet.org

It took all of 2018 plus almost 8 months of 2019 for Black women to earn what white men made last year. #BlackWomensEqualPayDay is a stark reminder of the progress that is still needed to make equal pay for equal work a reality. One step forward—pass the #PayCheckFairness Act. — PolitiTweet.org
