Out of a serious situation, a wonderful creative solution. Ella used her experience with IV infusions to help other kids be less fearful when getting life saving treatment. https://t.co/BH6VUnnYlr — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenatorShaheen: Retweet if you think the Trump administration should stop blocking the design of the new $20 bill. (image via @nytimes)… — PolitiTweet.org

For 244 years, the @USArmy has defended our freedoms at home & abroad. Thank you for your selfless service. #ArmyBday — PolitiTweet.org

More self-enrichment & potential illegality. This shady real estate deal raises numerous questions about the Indonesian buyer’s ties to foreign officials & other deals. More evidence of the need for transparency—like what we seek in my Emoluments lawsuit. https://t.co/reEzH00vxn — PolitiTweet.org

Toyota joins GM & Ford in addressing keyless cars’ rollaway&carbon monoxide poisoning risks by updating key tech. These safety features should be standard in all cars. Passage of my PARK It Act would ensure NHTSA requires all automakers to protect drivers. https://t.co/EpNlla1BCe — PolitiTweet.org

#TBT: On Tuesday I stood with member of @MomsDemand, @bradybuzz & @AMarch4OurLives to call on Congress to #RepealPLCAA. My colleagues must listen to these passionate & persistent Americans—who are fighting to hold the gun industry accountable— & take action. https://t.co/lzOuO0hMdP — PolitiTweet.org

LGBTQI+ rights are human rights—regardless of where someone lives, people should never be subjected to persecution because of who they love. Proud to join @SenatorShaheen in reintroducing the Global Respect Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you @GovNedLamont & state legislators from both sides of the aisle for working together & passing @EthansLaw2. The ball is now in Congress’ court. We must take action & pass this commonsense gun legislation that will help keep our kids safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to partner with LCV to address climate change & sign the #CleanEnergyForAll Pledge. Together we will work to develop the infrastructure & jobs needed to transition our country to 100% clean energy by 2050. https://t.co/kZS1J3V1Xr — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Republicans should be condemning Trump’s invitation to foreign espionage—a new low in his betrayal of public trust. Their silence implies approval—unacceptable! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This president cares more about self-interest than national security. My bill would require that if a foreign enemy offers dirt his first call would be to the FBI—not others on his own campaign. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

If Congress passed my Duty to Report Act—introduced w/@RepSwalwell—this unconscionable danger to our national security would be illegal. https://t.co/tjETZJtTgM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump lives in a moral cesspool. He encourages a foreign attack—a betrayal of his oath as commander in chief. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am deeply grateful to the Blue Water Navy Veterans who spoke out in town halls, who traveled to Washington, & who kept on pressing for action. I wish Congress had acted sooner, but I am grateful to see this bill finally signed into law & justice served. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

At long last, the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act, is headed to the President’s desk & will ensure that thousands of Navy veterans, & their families, are able to receive the health care & benefits they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The old adage ‘justice delayed is justice denied’ has meant decades of suffering the effects of Agent Orange for thousands of veterans who have been deprived of fair compensation because they served at sea. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

America’s worst nightmare—a President saying he would welcome political campaign aid from sworn enemies like Russia & China. Trump’s happy acceptance of illicit dirt shows his conscience to be a cesspool— he'd rather sacrifice national security for personal self interest. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Yet again, Trump seeks to hide the truth from the American people, claiming executive privilege over documents that would reveal his unconstitutional scheme: Adding a citizenship question to the census for the purpose of suppressing communities of color’s votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Wonderful to speak with the dedicated & passionate NHD students who are representing CT at nationals this week. Good luck! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Evidence continues to mount: Mark Zuckerberg himself willfully disregarded the FTC’s order to protect privacy. Facebook’s record of failed leadership & neglect is overwhelming. FTC must move swiftly to hold Zuckerberg directly accountable for Facebook’s neglect & misuse of data. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress deserves Jon Stewart’s powerful tongue-lashing for abandoning the 9/11 heroes who answered the call. Congress can redeem itself only by fully & permanently supporting the Victims Compensation Fund. These brave first responders, many from CT, deserve & need justice NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Sorry to learn of Tech Sgt. Swirsky's passing. I was fortunate to spend time w/Bob recently to discuss his military service & beloved family, who are in my thoughts today. Bob’s legacy of bravery in WWII & extraordinary service to our nation are a model for us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The proposed T-Mobile/Sprint merger is another anti-competitive, anti-worker & anti-consumer attempt at corporate consolidation. DOJ must follow the leadership of State AGs, including CT @AGWilliamTong, who are fighting back for consumers. Saying no to this deal should be easy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

T-Mobile/Sprint merger would harm consumers, hurt workers & threaten competition in mobile & 5G. In absence of FCC leadership, a group of State AGs have stepped up to protect the public interest. @TheJusticeDept must stop dithering & act to block this dangerous deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Feds owe us a full public explanation for this severe personal data breach—the 2nd this year for DHS. In the brave new world of biometrics, privacy needs vigorous, vigilant protection. Contractors, no less than agencies, should be held accountable for cavalier slipshod practices. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

WATCH NOW as @RepAdamSchiff & I re-introduce our bill to #RepealPLCAA. PLCAA has prevented gun violence victims from having their day in court. The gun industry must take responsibility for endangering American lives. https://t.co/GzIOVoKU4a — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot be a nation who becomes numb to our political leaders brazenly coordinating w/foreign adversaries (& covering it up after the fact). — PolitiTweet.org

4. Trump ordered his former campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, to tell AG Sessions to constrain the scope of the Mueller investigation to just future election interference. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

3. Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, secretly shared polling data on “battleground states” with a known Russian operative at a time that Russians were engaging in a social media disinformation campaign targeting American voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

2. Trump personally directed members of his campaign to find the 30,000 missing (i.e. stolen & hacked by Russians) Clinton emails—they tried to do so, but were unsuccessful. — PolitiTweet.org
