Growing momentum for vital change. Congress must pass Extreme Risk Protection Orders now! Any delays cost lives. https://t.co/EUqjdXXahu — PolitiTweet.org

Good luck to the Madison Little League team today in the New England Regional Semi-Final. Make CT proud. We’ll be cheering you on! https://t.co/NBLaZQbh5I — PolitiTweet.org

We have a responsibility to these athletes. It is our duty to meet the courage they displayed in coming forward with real & meaningful action. I call on all my colleagues to stand with survivors & pass the Empowering Olympics & Amateur Athletes Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Even after 36 infant deaths, CPSC & companies have failed to remove deadly inclined sleepers from daycares. Congress needs to pass the Safe Sleep Act to ban these defective products immediately & prevent future tragedies. https://t.co/NpiibcwsTy — PolitiTweet.org

Who will be there for the children when they come home from school? Mass arrests in Mississippi are family separation by massive means. Cruelty seems to be the purpose. https://t.co/hsuQxT5AzR — PolitiTweet.org

FDA has failed to require sunscreen makers to fully inform consumers about products' safety. People mustn't be burnt by FDA’s inaction. We must shine the sunlight of truth on these products so consumers can be protected from harmful chemicals & sun-rays. https://t.co/GyYmKLucWY — PolitiTweet.org

FAA officials continue to defend a fundamentally broken aircraft certification system that prioritizes production over safety. A comprehensive review of the 737 MAX & mandatory simulator training is essential before these planes fly again. https://t.co/FdrpRzJX25 — PolitiTweet.org

Bipartisan momentum is building for Extreme Risk Protection Orders. These “Red Flag” laws—to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people—are an important step towards necessary commonsense reforms. Enough is enough. The time is now for meaningful action.https://t.co/tOOkvfh6Ho — PolitiTweet.org

Today we joined together to recognize the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act becoming law. In the face of this admin’s conscious effort to suppress voting rights, we must work to ensure all can participate in our democracy without interference or intimidation. https://t.co/OzfJRBkEWU — PolitiTweet.org

Commonsense gun reform needs to be on the Senate’s must pass list, so bulletproof backpacks don’t need to be on children’s back to school shopping lists. https://t.co/ZJxpnBUdwt — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Access to quality health care should never be limited because of who you are or who you love. We stand in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community & demand the Admin stop its abhorrent attacks on civil rights & protections against health care discrimination for LGBTQ+ Americans. https://t.co/xUFVyT06nI — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Graham & I have partnered on developing an Emergency Risk Protection Order statute since last Congress. We’ll be finalizing the details & reaching out to colleagues on both sides of the aisle. I look forward to introducing final legislation w/Sen. Graham in the near future. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am pleased to have reached an agreement w/Senator @LindseyGrahamSC on a framework for a new Emergency Risk Protection Order statute. This statute will provide grants & incentives to states like CT to enable law enforcement & courts to remove guns when there’s a risk of danger. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun violence is a national emergency that demands immediate Congressional action. We’ve canceled, delayed, & cut short recess to respond to urgent crises before. Senator McConnell: lead or get out of the way. Call us back to the Capitol to do our job. — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate must come back into session. Commonsense steps to stop gun violence—like Extreme Risk Protection Orders—are within realistic reach. To Congress’ leaders: now is the time for action, not time away, or time off. — PolitiTweet.org

One place to start, Emergency Risk Protection Orders—removing guns from people who are identified as being dangerous to themselves or others. This legislation is building bipartisan support. The time is now to take forceful action. We must seize the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Break the gun lobby’s vile vice-like grip on Congress. Send Mitch McConnell a message: Adopt commonsense reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Gun bloodshed will define America unless we act. Even as we send thoughts & prayers to families & victims in El Paso & Dayton, we must honor them with action. https://t.co/4iD8fPB2V1 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Hate crimes, racial violence & mass shootings are a brand of domestic terrorism. Deeply frightening, viciously dangerous, spreading like a deadly virus—this epidemic must be stopped. Our leaders must call out this hatred & counter with action. https://t.co/etaXlFW5v7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Common sense & simple caring say Emergency Risk Protection Orders can save lives. Momentum is building for more states to deal with people who are dangerous to themselves or others—taking forceful action to forestall imminent risk & fulfill due process. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Senseless unspeakable gun violence claims more innocent victims & rips apart another community. Our hearts go to the families & all hurt, & deep thanks to first responders. Enough is enough. We know what must be done to end this epidemic of violence. — PolitiTweet.org

A joy to welcome 26 new U.S. citizens. Our country is truly a melting pot & it is that diversity that gives our country strength. We should be proud that we are a nation of immigrants. https://t.co/jxr8Hkox0F — PolitiTweet.org

Senseless hot car deaths—tragically common—could be prevented by passing my HOT CARS Act requiring alerts for a child/pet. Manufacturers should be mandated, but in the meantime install alerts voluntarily. Everyone’s vulnerable. For a pittance, save lives. https://t.co/UDwU4iwNcb — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to stand w/advocates, like CAC & Open Communities Alliance, fighting for residents at Barbour Gardens. This relocation process—that fails to live up to its name—is an outrage. HUD needs to fulfill its mission&provide decent housing. We aren't going away. We'll keep fighting https://t.co/tqoSnjfBxq — PolitiTweet.org
