On this #TaxDay, the first under the #GOPTaxScam, the rich continue to reap massive benefits, while fewer Americans will receive a tax refund—resulting in many Fortune 500 companies paying less in taxes than hardworking Americans. https://t.co/wgR6DX5CjP — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The number of disruptive, harassing robocalls people receive is out of control. I've introduced the ROBOCOP Act to help cut down on this vicious onslaught of scam & spam messages by requiring phone companies provide robocall blocking tech & verify caller IDs are accurate. https://t.co/A2ZSHZ0VJk — PolitiTweet.org

While protecting passengers, airlines canceling 737 MAX flights till August should also demand independent safety scrutiny. Airlines bear real risks & legal responsibility without unquestionably independent airworthiness approval of all 737 MAX systems. https://t.co/h9DIPkumrJ — PolitiTweet.org

.@StopAndShop workers continue to stand strong. Proud to join these hardworking men & women in Middletown, Milford, & Fairfield as they demand affordable health care & fair compensation. https://t.co/gkSCQqhtcW — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

While 2x as many companies will be paying almost nothing thanks to Trump’s tax cut, many Americans will be getting a tax bill instead of a refund. Wall Street doesn’t need a tax cut, the people of CT do. https://t.co/BvIZ447uGi — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thousands of @StopandShop workers & their families' health care is at risk as the company raises costs & limits coverage. Proud to stand with these hardworking men & women as they fight for fair compensation & benefits. https://t.co/jHHki8JlH2 — PolitiTweet.org

.@AMBCPSC must work with Fisher-Price to streamline recall requirements & insist on a full refund for all affected, to ensure these deadly products are removed from homes. I continue to call on @USCPSC to investigate whether infant inclined sleepers are fundamentally unsafe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Glad @USCPSC heeded our call on the Rock ‘n Play, but the recall doesn’t include the Kids II sleepers & puts lots of burdens, including a complicated disassembly, on already sleep-deprived parents or caregivers. https://t.co/yDEUo1mgaG https://t.co/9bz72DzVJK — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the VITA volunteers who prepare accurate tax returns & give free tax help to those needing assistance in CT. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Months after colleagues & I wrote to top chains calling on them to remove tobacco products, @riteaid takes a step to curb the epidemic of teen e-cig usage. Still, more action is needed to completely eliminate tobacco products from these stores’ shelves. https://t.co/mnIa0EkSuT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Fisher-Price's Rock ‘n Play & other infant inclined sleep products must be recalled immediately. After @ConsumerReports links at least 36 infant deaths to these common baby products, CPSC must take swift action to get these products off the shelves. https://t.co/JBleCHt10i — PolitiTweet.org

Corrupting the nation’s immigration system, by using asylum seeking women & children as pawns to retaliate against political foes, is a new low for this grotesquely cruel & inhumane White House. https://t.co/u0CJcItVaU — PolitiTweet.org

A great example of teamwork. Thanks to @CTNationalGuard & @USCGNortheast for your steadfast dedication to keeping our waterways safe. — PolitiTweet.org

.@StopandShop’s dedicated workers assist CT families in putting food on the table. In partnership with @UFCW, these employees are standing up for their rights & speaking out to hold their employer accountable for providing affordable health care & fair compensation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Jaw-dropping. So-called “pro-life” Texas legislators were willing to punish women with the death penalty for having an abortion. These lawmakers clearly have zero respect for women, their reproductive health, or their lives. https://t.co/gK6PDgk8HZ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

#TBT I was proud to join @CTCADV this week to call on the Senate to pass #VAWA19. VAWA must continue to serve as the backbone of our nation’s support system for victims of domestic violence & sexual assault, aiding tens of thousands of survivors across CT. https://t.co/bzNfGlrLZv — PolitiTweet.org

Bernhardt’s confirmation comes in the wake of allegations regarding his involvement in efforts to rollback protections for endangered wildlife—directly benefiting one of his former clients—being reviewed by the Inspector General. https://t.co/vcxPcDeqBR — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As Acting Secretary of the Interior, David Bernhardt has continued this Admin’s relentless attack on our public lands, our precious natural resources, the air we breathe, & the water we drink. We can’t trust Bernhardt to put the public’s interest first. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Treasury Secretary Mnuchin’s refusal to turn over Trump’s taxes is unprecedented & unlawful. The President is not above the law & Congress should be granted the documents needed to provide proper oversight. https://t.co/AWrXRghslO — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Passengers & airline crews should be confident that the cabin air they breathe during flights is free from any toxic fumes. The Cabin Air Safety Act requires FAA & aircraft manufacturers stop ignoring unsafe air quality levels & mandate reporting, training, & monitoring tech. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I asked Deputy AG nominee Rosen 2 simple yes/no questions. 1. Would he commit, as the second in command of DOJ, to support full, complete release of the Mueller report? 2. Would he protect ongoing SDNY & EDNY investigations from WH interference? He refused to answer. https://t.co/tul9ACTKV6 — PolitiTweet.org

The House has now passed the baton to the Senate. I call on my colleagues to recognize an open internet as a fundamental vehicle for equality & free speech. We must vote to restore #NetNeutrality & prevent powerful internet providers from exerting unchecked control. #SaveTheNet https://t.co/MX1VrOKesl — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m deeply disappointed AG Barr has so demeaned himself & DOJ by carelessly acting as a mouthpiece for Trump’s conspiracy theories. This language has a real, measurable impact on the lives & safety of our men & women in law enforcement. He owes them a retraction & an apology. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As Barr admitted, there is absolutely no evidence that our nation’s own law enforcement officers did anything unlawful during their investigation into Russian meddling in our democracy. To recklessly suggest otherwise is deeply offensive—& worse, it is dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

AG Barr must retract his unfounded, irresponsible claim that American law enforcement ‘spied’ on the Trump Campaign. The only spies interfering in the 2016 campaign were Russian ones. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Passing the #MedicareForAll Act helps ensure the American dream. No matter your age or health, no matter your financial situation or employment status, you deserve health insurance, you deserve access to health care services, & you deserve them without going into financial ruin. https://t.co/lAlOZmGfQ3 — PolitiTweet.org
