This #InternationalBeerDay, it was great to meet the owners of CT’s newest brewery, Better Half Brewing, in Bristol. Breweries across CT support good jobs & benefit the local economy. https://t.co/wly6Miz6Lc — PolitiTweet.org

If the CPSC cannot take simple action to recall these deadly elevators, it inspires little confidence that they can effectively address safety hazards that it knows deserve attention. https://t.co/IVuJcgIBa8 — PolitiTweet.org

This inaction is despicable & wholly inadequate. Calling into question the CPSC's desire to listen to absurd industry arguments rather than protect children. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Reprehensible. For decades CPSC has known the small, child-sized gap between residential elevator's doors can trap & crush a child when the elevator starts to move. What has the CPSC done? Nothing—they can't even decide on the right words for the warning. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress cannot continue to ignore the out of control abuse & misuse of our private info. We need real rules & vigorous enforcement that ends the surveillance economy & reins in Big Tech. If we fail to act, there will be long-lasting repercussions for personal & national safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Our most intimate moments, conversations, & thoughts—tracked, reviewed, & sold to the highest bidder. Smart speakers, web browsers, & apps are listening to us & watching our movements, on & offline. The internet has become a unregulated race to the bottom. https://t.co/eVIP8lvQ8E — PolitiTweet.org

Whether it’s growing fees or shrinking seats, the rights of air travelers are frequently ignored. Everyone—regardless of age, ability or income—deserves comfortable air travel. It’s time to pass an air passengers’ bill of rights to protect consumers & restore sanity to the skies. — PolitiTweet.org

After our thorough investigation into failures by USOC, USAG, & their cowardly leaders, @JerryMoran & I took action to honor these courageous, strong survivors. Our comprehensive overhaul of the broken system would create a seismic cultural shift & empower & protect athletes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Women deserve the right to access safe & legal abortions, no matter their zip code. Our Women's Health Protection Act reaffirms what SCOTUS & a majority of Americans have declared: Women have a constitutional right to control their bodies & make their own choices. #ActForWomen — PolitiTweet.org

‘Best by’ date labels on items aren’t based on safety or science. These confusing, completely arbitrary labels lead to perfectly safe food going to waste. The Food Date Labeling Act would establish a uniform national labeling system—providing people with much needed clarity. — PolitiTweet.org

All 47 @SenateDems agree, junk plans lead to higher premiums & reduced access to quality care for millions, hurting seniors & those with preexisting conditions most. That’s why we’re sponsoring a resolution that would halt the Admin’s efforts to expand these incomplete plans. https://t.co/bpebS7sn0E — PolitiTweet.org

Mark your calendars! On August 15th my office in Hartford is hosting a Passport Day event. Be sure to stop by to snap a passport picture or apply for a new/renewed passport. https://t.co/iMw9HGxDhc — PolitiTweet.org

If “inaction is not an option,” as the @USChamber claims, then why do they continue to spend millions to block progress on climate legislation? We need to stand up to anti-climate lobbying groups like the #ChamberOfCarbon. https://t.co/0FkH7nkVn3 — PolitiTweet.org

If the health risks of vaping & nicotine addiction weren’t clear before, researchers at Yale confirm puffing away on a Juul can harm your health. Flavored pods must be pulled from the shelves. FDA, the time is now to take definitive action. https://t.co/wCGa593j6b — PolitiTweet.org

.@JerryMoran & I’ve worked over the past 18 months to investigate a system that prioritized medals & money over morals. Our legislation is a moment of reckoning—a seismic, systemic change to the culture of abuse & institutional failure to protect athletes. https://t.co/KLYYpfjnZv — PolitiTweet.org

The athletes who spoke up & fought for change are profiles in courage. USOC & USAG executives were profiles in cowardice & concealment. Passing Sen. @JerryMoran & my new legislation will restore accountability & protect athletes. https://t.co/GDpoiTPRRy — PolitiTweet.org

Evidence is clear Russia attacked our election. McConnell is ignoring the facts, blocking election security protections, & unpatriotically leaving the door open for Moscow to keep messing w/our democracy. One solution—pass my Duty to Report Act. https://t.co/RMbCKlFCOX — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to hearing more from the States Attorneys General that stepped up to scrutinize & challenge this merger when the DOJ & FCC failed to lead. — PolitiTweet.org

The history of divestures & behavioral conditions shows that they are usually overpromised & under enforced. Consumers deserve certainty that our enforcers will protect competition & hold carriers accountable based on stringent conditions & vigorous antitrust enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I have long opposed the T-Mobile/Sprint merger because it threatens American consumers, who will see worse service, skyrocketing bills, & a growing digital divide. The DOJ’s arrangement trades a vital market challenger for a new entrant that faces an tough uphill battle. — PolitiTweet.org
