What’s happening in MO is a blatant attack on constitutional rights. Women should be able to access safe & legal abortions, regardless of their zip code. The time is now to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to protect & guarantee a woman’s right to choose across the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

E-cigs pose more unpredictable perils—exploding batteries—further demanding FDA standards. The vape industry is addicting a new generation to nicotine w/slick pitches, flavors & deceptive promises—using Big Tobacco’s playbook. This epidemic must be stopped.https://t.co/GQFAsKZvhZ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Indecision & uncertainty still a staggering danger—with no diplomatic strategy. A deeply divided Administration must speak with one consistent voice to de-escalate tensions & prevent miscalculation. https://t.co/CU8S1AlRwk — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to CT based groups like @IRISCT, @CIRICT, @jfact & @CCAOH for serving as a key touchstone for refugees in CT. Time & again the people of CT have embraced refugee families & opened their hearts to these individuals who are working to achieve the American Dream. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

On #WorldRefugeeDay we recognize the remarkable journey of refugees & asylum seekers as they persevere in the face immense obstacles in the pursuit of freedom & opportunity. Refugees embody resilience, strength & bravery, we must not turn our backs on those seeking a better life. https://t.co/cf5xHR0umW — PolitiTweet.org

I support the NDAA amendment prohibiting funding for an unauthorized war w/Iran & urge continued cooperation w/allies abroad to mitigate tensions & pursue diplomatic options. Coherent & consistent strategy, rather than reckless & irresponsible rhetoric, is urgently needed now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Recent tensions with Iran demonstrate that the Trump admin’s policy is a clear failure—the US is not trusted by global allies & Trump is not trusted by the American people. De-escalation must be emphasized to avoid the potential for miscalculations. — PolitiTweet.org

As the heat of summer builds, parents, caretakers, & automakers must do all they can to ensure no child is forgotten in a vehicle. My HOT CARS Act would enlist automakers to implement tech in vehicles to alert drivers when a child is left in the car. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A woman’s right to choose her own reproductive future is more at risk now than ever. I will continue to stand with my fellow Americans to demand the Trump admin & Republicans stop their campaign against family planning & women’s health. https://t.co/DOKqoEMzyZ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our antitrust enforcers need new tools to ensure careful review of corporate mergers that may drive up the cost of health care. I'm working on legislation to address the litany of harmful practices like “stealth consolidation” & “killer acquisitions.” https://t.co/kQ2Yotyr9h — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @ChrisMurphyCT @GabbyGiffords @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer @Everytown @NewtownAction @AMarch4OurLives @MomsDemand @bradybuzz @CAGVNews @sandyhook to demand action on HR8. A bill 97% of Americans support shouldn’t be controversial—it must be law https://t.co/SD6i6giu2s — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A clear failure of vision & leadership. Trump’s #DirtyPowerScam is a distorted interpretation of the Clean Power Plan—failing to set real carbon emission standards for power plants & other key polluters. Climate change is not a myth, we must stop dragging our feet & take action. https://t.co/yCel612AiZ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We aren't giving up. We aren't going away. History will judge harshly a majority that failed to give us a vote & opposed common sense gun control measures supported by 97% of Americans. To my GOP colleagues: let us vote on HR 8, let us give more than thoughts & prayers. https://t.co/PkHCKqbHbK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress must stop standing by as innocent children at our southern border are abused, mistreated, & malnourished. Where are my colleagues’ humility & humanity? At the very least, Congress should conduct aggressive oversight to ensure our gov't provides kids w/basic care. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

.@GabbyGiffords has led the fight for gun violence reform & universal background checks. I applaud her work & urge the Senate to deliver on their duty to protect the American people—the time is now. — PolitiTweet.org

Crown Prince culpability—powerfully documented in this new UN Report—requires stopping arms sales to a murderous regime. Votes on legislative action should come as the Senate begins debate on the NDAA military budget: Enough is enough. https://t.co/mx7P9TZqWN — PolitiTweet.org

The Hartford Line’s first year of operation is an important step toward rapid rail service becoming increasingly available to CT residents. Travel by rail must be affordable & accessible. I will continue to work with CommDOT & rail advocates to optimize CT’s train travel. https://t.co/8BR1nrYP2S — PolitiTweet.org

Allowing a man who has violated his plea deal & lied repeatedly to the FBI to get special favors from the president's men at the top of DOJ seems to bend the department's credibility, undermine justice, & turn a blind eye to possible corruption. https://t.co/vMQmWbo3Eo — PolitiTweet.org

Positioning a digital offense to deter/defeat Russian attacks is sound security strategy&signals the price for cyber attacks, including malign election interference. Congress must support cyber defense efforts if Trump—continuing to curry Putin’s favor—tries to countermand them. — PolitiTweet.org

To all the dads & father figures across Connecticut, your guidance, encouragement & love serve as a source of support & inspiration for so many. Happy #FathersDay! — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to walk alongside members of the LGBTQ+ community in Middletown’s #Pride parade because love is love & equality is deserved by all. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My bill w/RepNadler would stop a sitting President from escaping justice by running out statute of limitations—using DOJ policy as a get out of jail free card. Legally unfounded barring of criminal charges while a President is in office should be repealed. No one is above the law — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Last night I joined @allinwithchris to discuss our commander in chief announcing to the world that he is willing to undercut our democratic practices to win elections & why we ought to be deeply concerned about the future of our nation. https://t.co/g47BxBgpDG — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No doubt Trump officials deliberately & repeatedly lied to courts about their illicit discriminatory intent on the census citizenship question. SCOTUS should wait until lower courts fully uncover the facts— & discipline all responsible, including Ross & co, for this scheme. — PolitiTweet.org
