First Don Jr.’s “I love it” & now this. Despicable, unpatriotic, & a blatant violation of campaign finance law. Failing to hold the president accountable for the facts uncovered by the Mueller report will result in more of this. My Republican colleagues need to wake up. — PolitiTweet.org

On what would have been her 100th birthday, we honor Gov. Ella Grasso. She was trailblazer, political pioneer & a dear friend. While she was taken from us far too young, her legacy lives on through those that followed in her footsteps. There will never be another Ella T. Grasso. https://t.co/uTFINoEcKM — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, we have proof the Trump admin would rather spend billions on a vanity project than fund projects that support our troops. — PolitiTweet.org

CT communities on the front lines of the opioid epidemic tell me the same thing: We cannot win this battle w/o substantial, sustained resources from the federal gov't. The CARE Act answers the call by providing states w/significant funds to treat & prevent substance use disorder. — PolitiTweet.org

Using practices that would make robber barons of the gilded age blush, Big Pharma has crushed competition & stifled access to cheaper drugs. My bill w/@JohnCornyn empowers the FTC to fight back against drug industry’s abusive practices. Big Pharma is on notice—enough is enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I applaud the CT House for voting to raise the minimum wage to $15. This legislation lifts up families across CT & allows the hardworking people of CT to meet basic financial needs. All Americans deserve a fair shot & Congress must follow suit & pass the Raise the Wage Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Intel Committee must uncover the truth—part of fight against continuing Russian attacks. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Some of Donald Trump Jr.’s apparent untruths: denials of informing his father about Trump Tower meeting w/Russian agents, denials of his father’s involvement in his misleading statement about that meeting, denials of informing other campaign staff about the Russian offer of dirt. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Subpoena for Donald Trump Jr. is the right step, as I’ve urged, to explain his apparent lies in his Judiciary Committee appearance. He told us he was only “peripherally aware” of Moscow Trump Tower talks, when actually he was in the thick of it. His demeanor gave him away. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Raising the age of tobacco sales to 21 is an important step in restricting teen access to addictive tobacco products. To truly confront the scourge of tobacco & the youth e-cigarette epidemic, this should be mandated nationwide. https://t.co/a6HjBzAwDv — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No longer will Big Pharma be able to hide their product prices in direct-to-consumer TV ads. People deserve to know potential costs up front & this should constantly motivate drug companies to keep costs competitive. https://t.co/y1bF8GCO9T — PolitiTweet.org

60% of these deaths are preventable with better health care, communication, & support. Instead of attacking women’s health & rights, the GOP must put women & their babies first & join us in working to end our country’s maternal mortality crisis because #MothersDeserveBetter. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Surviving pregnancy is not a given for too many American women. The inconceivable reality is that women today are at a greater risk of pregnancy-related deaths than their moms were & black women are 3x more likely to die of pregnancy-related issues than white women. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Companies are now being held accountable for stifling consumers’ ability to share their honest reviews about a business’ product/service. FTC takes its first action under a new law that I championed—the Consumer Review Fairness Act. https://t.co/s3pZJeOQs6 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Executive privilege is not absolute. Since United States v. Nixon, the Supreme Court has held that privilege cannot be used to guard against criminal wrongdoing. It cannot be a weapon to obfuscate. It cannot be a tool to cover-up the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This unprecedented, sweeping invocation of executive privilege—that Trump has already waived—is nothing more than a desperate & transparent attempt at depriving the American people the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Now Congress should follow CT’s lead & pass the safe storage bill, Ethan’s Law, we’ve introduced. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Out of unspeakable tragedy, some good—thanks to the incomparable courage & strength of Kristin & Michael Song. Due to their grace & perseverance, @EthansLaw2 will help save lives & stem the scourge of gun violence through safe gun storage. https://t.co/ZgSSqYWlQ3 — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to all the teachers & educators who work tirelessly to inspire & empower the next generation. Your dedication to seeing our kids succeed does not go unnoticed. Happy #TeacherAppreciationDay! https://t.co/cKRjVJYph0 — PolitiTweet.org

This award is a supremely well-deserved recognition of a community treasure that has touched countless lives. Libraries strengthen our communities through education & outreach—a place where everyone, young & old, can come together to learn & grow. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A step forward would be for Congress to pass the #FamiliesBelongTogether Act. This legislation would ensure the victims of family separation are reunited & provided a path to citizenship—giving them safe haven & access to the medical care they need to recover from their trauma. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This President has done nothing—zero—to right the wrongs that were committed against thousands of children & their parents. He is yet to hold even a single individual accountable for the policy of family separation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today all Americans should remember the advent of the cruel policy of family separation, which ripped thousands of children from the arms of their mothers. It is also a day for us to recommit to the abiding truth that #FamiliesBelongTogether. #UntilEveryFamilyIsReunited https://t.co/Hz2kNBl9tw — PolitiTweet.org

Consumer Warning: Beware the one-ring robocall scam costing callers $$$ when they call back. Congress Alert: Pass our proposed robocall crackdown & protection laws, blocking these calls before the phone rings. https://t.co/MBATikcJx0 — PolitiTweet.org

Further evidence that time is running out. We have no choice but to confront climate change, commit to clean energy, & protect & restore our natural world. https://t.co/B6lPXQEkJ6 — PolitiTweet.org
