No amount of money will ever bring back the beautiful lives lost that tragic day, but this decision is resounding, long-awaited justice for the Sandy Hook families. In the face of unbridled cruelty, harm, & harassment these survivors have been a profile in courage & perseverance. — PolitiTweet.org

The Saudis need to come to their senses, reverse course & realize they’ve committed a humongous blunder. This mistake goes against their own interests as well as the United States. I want to thank @RepRoKhanna for his leadership & his partnership in this effort. 5 — PolitiTweet.org

We now need to rebalance our relationship with Saudi Arabia & the Saudis need to restore trust. This bill hopefully will begin a path toward reevaluating the current one-sided relationship. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

More than just oil is at stake. Saudi Arabia has a prodigious pattern of human rights abuses—butchering journalists, fostering civil war in Yemen, the list goes on. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The only apparent purpose of this cut in oil supplies is to help the Russians & harm the United States. There are serious security concerns. The Saudis’ actions aid & abet a murderous, brutal, criminal invasion by Russia & threaten higher gas prices at the pump. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

One of the consequences of OPEC+’s oil supply cut must be a temporary halt in U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia in defense of our national, security, & economic interests. I joined @RepRoKhanna to highlight our bicameral measure that would take this critical step. 1/ https://t.co/0WrlHmY2Bo — PolitiTweet.org

Nurses & allied health professionals put their heart & soul into quality care & deserve to be treated fairly. I’m proud to stand with Windham Hospital nurses at this pivotal point in their negotiations. It’s time for Hartford Healthcare to do right by this staff. https://t.co/pz5KY7Wn8x — PolitiTweet.org

Gorilla Lemonade is a delicious drink—good for your health & your conscience. An impressive 50% of each bottle’s proceeds goes to the Eat Up Foundation providing food to people in need. A great taste of CT! https://t.co/BCqdqIYGUD — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m proud to sponsor this bicameral legislation with @RepRoKhanna to send a strong message to the Saudis as our country works to rebalance this one-sided relationship. I urge my colleagues to support this essential bill & will fight for its swift passage. 3 — PolitiTweet.org

Saudis must reverse their oil supply cuts, which aid&abet Russia’s savage criminal invasion, endanger the world economy&threaten higher gas prices at U.S. pumps. We cannot continue selling highly sensitive arms technology to a nation aligned w/an abhorrent terrorist adversary. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: This simple yet urgent measure would halt U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia after their deeply offensive, destructive blunder: siding with Russia at this historic moment. 1/ https://t.co/9fRJrAzL5u — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to welcome the 2d Marine Aircraft Wing Band to the annual concert presented by the Council of Italian American Societies of Greater Bridgeport. Thank you! https://t.co/NrOqEeMGBc — PolitiTweet.org

This indiscriminate bombing—Putin’s standard fallback—constitutes crimes against humanity. His brutal barbarity seems boundless. He boasts of it. We must redouble our aid to the brave, fierce Ukrainian people. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Putin’s massive bombing of Ukrainian civilians—savage, criminal terrorism—requires a robust response, beginning with major shipments of more air defense systems, designating Russia a state sponsor of terrorism,&additional ammunition, arms,&humanitarian aid.https://t.co/wfuXwA27PN — PolitiTweet.org

Spectacular parades in both East Haven & Bridgeport highlighted our state’s great Italian American community—their immense contributions, wonderful families, & magnificent heritage. I was deeply proud to march with friends in both, enjoying a sun filled day. — PolitiTweet.org

The Southington Apple Fest was awash in apples—actually, people enjoying apple fritters from the Zion Church, & delights like apple crisp, apple cider slushies, & more. Also Alex’s Lemonade, raising $$ for pediatric cancer research. All good! — PolitiTweet.org

Fairfield University & Landsdowne Labs are seeking to make button batteries safer to save lives & prevent burns when young children accidentally swallow them. The innovative work being done builds on the progress of Reese’s Law & will help keep kids safe. https://t.co/7bzIOsvatD — PolitiTweet.org

Aquarion’s staggering rate hike request is unacceptable & unaffordable. Water is not an optional cost. Consumers are cornered with no competition & no choice. I am urging PURA to say “NO” to this gargantuan increase. https://t.co/eB6vZKEkDT — PolitiTweet.org

Stopping in Hartford this week, the @ProtectOurCare bus highlights the work we have done on lowering health care costs & bettering quality, & how much there is left to do. https://t.co/hbhDnCntmd — PolitiTweet.org

Long overdue: steps to expand & protect voting rights—like the efforts to enable CT in-person early voting. Also, passing into federal law, the SAVE VOTERS Act, barring unjustified purging of names from voter registration lists. https://t.co/PEhuWKsa3T — PolitiTweet.org

To help millions of students suffering from anxiety & depression, we must expand services & erase any stigma attached to mental health. My bill will encourage colleges to do so. Thank you @tunxiscc for your leadership. https://t.co/TTNMp4yY1K — PolitiTweet.org

Cutting arms aid provides a plausible path in persuading Saudis to pull back on disastrous supply cut plans. The Malinowski bill to remove all US armed forces from Saudi Arabia should be considered in the Senate. https://t.co/By3YOLNCx2 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The US must revisit & revise military supplies & sales, & other security aid to Saudi Arabia & rebalance this one-sided relationship. Saudi Arabia cannot turn to other defense suppliers unless they wish to partner with Russia, Iran, or China for far inferior systems. — PolitiTweet.org
