The threat of Russian interference in our elections is real, urgent, & increasing. As the potential Defense Secretary, Dr. Esper must commit to take all necessary governmental steps to prevent future foreign interference. https://t.co/Uth1kjP9Tg — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve lost a legal giant in Justice Stevens—a historic figure of grace, intellect, & caring, who showed the prime judicial virtue: the capacity for growth. I was privileged to know him & argue cases before him. https://t.co/Cz6i0i1ODx — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Dr. Esper committed to provide information about official DOD expenditures at Trump’s properties. Taxpayer money should not be filling the President’s pocketbook. https://t.co/uUS0mXlMp5 — PolitiTweet.org

Trump’s gag rule threatens catastrophic harm to women’s basic health care. We’ll fight to #ProtectX & stop this admin’s unconstitutional, illogical attempt to muzzle doctors & prevent access to care. https://t.co/lCMlA8doK7 — PolitiTweet.org

Ford knowingly put American families & kids at risk—this indifference to safety is inexcusable. NHTSA must take these complaints seriously & immediately open a defect investigation into the Fiesta & Focus to identify how deep Ford’s lies are buried. https://t.co/lqrwoXinNC — PolitiTweet.org

$5 billion is hardly a slap on Facebook’s wrist for a decade of privacy violations & profiteering. @SenMarkey, Sen. @HawleyMO, & I are calling on the FTC to answer for this historically hollow settlement that sends a dangerous message that Big Tech won’t be held accountable. https://t.co/ty1A06ZOD6 — PolitiTweet.org

I'll continue to fight for this cause until every 9/11 first responder gets the justice they deserve. This is the very least we can do for these brave men & women. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I stand with 9/11 first responders & members of the West Haven Fire Department to share a simple message for Mitch McConnell—put the bill on the floor. Give us a vote on the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund so we keep faith with our heroes. We need action. https://t.co/qW1eFEQ4dQ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This reckless rule would put asylum seekers’ lives at risk & is yet another anti-immigrant policy that is destined for defeat in the courts. We need comprehensive immigration reform, not more cruel ideas cooked up by the White House. https://t.co/Y0GhH2euT0 — PolitiTweet.org

President Trump’s nauseating tweets this morning would be beneath comment—if they weren’t sadly from the President of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

@fred_guttenberg Out of unimaginable pain & loss you have worked tirelessly in Jaime’s memory. Thank you for your tremendous dedication & courage. — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2005, Congress has prevented gun manufacturers from being held accountable for our country’s gun violence epidemic. @RepAdamSchiff & I have introduced a bill to repeal this shameful shield—finally allowing victims’ families their day in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I strongly support & encourage all attending vigils in other CT communities for your powerful advocacy for asylum seekers & other immigrants. I stand with you to reject this policy of fear & cruelty & keep the lights of liberty shining. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to join CT’s leaders&others gathered in our state tonight to reject ICE’s mass arrests&other tactics that senselessly punish&rip apart families. The Trump admin has pursued a policy of fear&cruelty. These #ICEraids double down on despicable, draconian enforcement tactics. https://t.co/kpv52YR3ig — PolitiTweet.org

Many undocumented immigrants simply missed a court date or were misadvised by their attorneys. We must assure— & immigrants should know—that under current ICE policy they are protected in sensitive spaces like schools, hospitals, places of worship, doctor’s offices & courthouses. — PolitiTweet.org

Fighting pharma companies’ profiteering requires approval of my Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act that would help stop these & other egregious patent abuses that stifle generic competition. — PolitiTweet.org

No wonder lifesaving Suboxone has seen astronomically rising prices! Profiteering companies using illegal anti-consumer tricks exploit people struggling with addiction. https://t.co/Q1He2B7FGY — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Heroes of 9/11 now suffering lethal diseases deserve legally mandated compensation—the House permanently reauthorized the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund today. Fellow Senators: Let's vote on this right away. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The FTC must be held accountable for this seemingly inadequate, unconscionably delayed, & historically hollow result. There must be Congressional hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Will Facebook be compelled to alter its present, systematic abuse of privacy? Based on the reported settlement, the answer is sadly, no. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This reported $5 billion penalty is barely a tap on the wrist, not even a slap. Such a financial punishment for purposeful, blatant illegality is chump change for a company that makes tens of billions of dollars every year. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Facebook’s business model is to monetize personal, confidential consumer information. It is relentlessly & tirelessly expanding its business model to invade our private lives. Only structural, behavioral, & leadership reforms can restrain & hold Facebook accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The FTC is foolish & foolhardy to rely on money alone to punish decades of past privacy violations & ongoing profiteering. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Sickness&death were the reward for many brave, strong 9/11 responders who answered the call⁠—w/o protection against the poisons&toxins at Ground Zero. Overwhelming, bipartisan passage to extend the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund by the House should be followed ASAP by the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

The policy behind the scheduled #ICEraids can be described in two words: fear & cruelty. We will stand with our immigrant community who have been here working hard, playing by the rules, paying taxes, & raising families. https://t.co/IwQ8C2NNHx — PolitiTweet.org
