This year’s Puerto Rican Festival of New Haven—drawing huge, happy crowds—was dedicated to Puerto Rican women. Prominent women in the community were featured. Wonderful! — PolitiTweet.org

I was joined by Marisa & her son Cam, who at 13 months swallowed a button battery. Cam is one of the lucky ones. His life was saved by @ctchildrens. We need stronger safety standards for these household dangers—exactly what my recently passed bill, Reese’s Law, is set to do. https://t.co/fHhdcDzAQb — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrating Jewish culture & heritage with Rabbi Yossi Jaffe & Gov. Lamont at Chabad of the Shoreline Jewish Festival in Guilford. What a wonderful event with great music, food, & people! https://t.co/xRGDxuqNCP — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to be at Mission Possible 2022—the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation annual gala. Two fantastic honorees—pediatric nurse Colleen Brown & Dr. You Sung Sang. This organization does boundless good. — PolitiTweet.org

A rousing, rocking parade for Hartford’s West Indian Independence Celebration. Exuberant, uplifting bands & dance groups were a real tribute to a great heritage. — PolitiTweet.org

Moving tributes to our men & women in uniform & vets at New London Military Appreciation Day. We owe them action, not just rhetoric—making recent passage of the PACT Act with benefits for burn pit exposure even more timely. https://t.co/i2opkQwI0d — PolitiTweet.org

Activists & advocates gathered for kayaking, great food & friendship, celebrating critical work by Save the River, Save the Hills. We honored Dan Steward, former Waterford First Selectman & much admired leader. https://t.co/FgiCdV3RSM — PolitiTweet.org

On the anniversary of Heather Heyer’s&Khalid Jabara’s deaths, we’re reminded that our nation is still plagued by the hateful violence that fueled these attacks. I’ll keep fighting to stamp out hate in all its form&build upon the vital steps taken by the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite record shattering profits, health insurance companies are ready to raise rates. Their justification for this increase collapses like a house of cards with the slightest scrutiny. Companies don’t need it & consumers can’t afford it. Zero—the right rate increase. https://t.co/Tn9wNQ4K9l — PolitiTweet.org

Proud day at OIC New London for students & staff as we announce a $300,000 grant for workforce development. It will be a force multiplier for skills & jobs. https://t.co/p4JVOvtnvy — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you Steve Coan for your enduring, extraordinary work at the Mystic Aquarium, helping to build one of CT’s great cultural & educational institutions. Your endless dedication & determination are a mark of your great public service. https://t.co/QrgBLIwtjI — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic to be at CIFC’s Greater Danbury Health Center yesterday for the ribbon cutting of their new building addition. This space will help the Center expand their comprehensive care services. https://t.co/p9I4hxZaSP — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long urged the FTC to use this essential tool to implement strong & enforceable consumer safeguards & rights. This rule is a major step forward in helping give power back to consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This FTC rulemaking is a win for consumers, promising protections for privacy & personal data, & accountability for violating them. Big Tech’s exploitation of private info, anti-competitive behavior & data breaches have created a crisis that demands action.https://t.co/11C1R5BJzz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

First responders & highway operators, like Corey Iodice, are killed working roadside because reckless drivers refuse to slow down & move over. To raise awareness of this lifesaving traffic rule, I've introduced a Senate resolution to highlight Slow Down, Move Over laws. https://t.co/u9HJXUbQtI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The idea developed from the work my office has been doing w/several US vets & servicemembers who fought alongside these Afghans & who've spent the last year trying to get them to safety. I'm honored to work w/them to fulfill our moral obligation to those who fought alongside us. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am especially proud to have authored language in the bill that will expand eligibility for the SIV program to members of the Afghan Special Forces, including the Female Tactical Teams. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

These Afghan allies worked as journalists, translators, non-profit workers, guards, & interpreters—as well as other dangerous professions that put their & their families’ lives on the line. This effort is urgent as their situation is increasingly desperate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The #AfghanAdjustmentAct will provide safe haven for Afghans fleeing Taliban persecution. Our bipartisan bill fulfills a moral obligation to those who sacrificed in support of the US mission, helping our troops&diplomats. These at-risk Afghans deserve a clear path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My heart was in my throat as I attended the PACT Act signing w/Amy Antioho & her son. The heroism of Amy, her late husband Peter, & countless burn pit vets are what made the difference & pushed this bill across the finish line. I’m forever grateful for their courage & conviction. https://t.co/EhM3vJmgyb — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

At today’s #PACTAct signing, my joy was mixed with sadness. It took years of hard work for vets exposed to toxic burn pits to finally be provided the benefits they need & deeply deserve. We have a fundamental moral obligation to take care of our veterans & their families. https://t.co/WfAKkNxJO5 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Wonderful to be at the groundbreaking of the new, state-of-the-art logistics facility in Great Pond. Leading by example, this Windsor development project is reclaiming land that was polluted & building spaces that will support job creation & enrich the community. https://t.co/z2huQjLVTT — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The PACT Act is an enormously impactful measure that will make a difference in the lives of vets exposed to burn pits & other toxins. At today’s roundtable with Comm. Saadi, @AmericanLegion, & @CTVeteransLegal we discussed the importance of making sure vets access these benefits. https://t.co/78GI4EU3DV — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congrats to @CTBBAOrg on being awarded a $100,000 federal grant. With this funding they will be able to build upon their tremendous work to provide CT’s minority owned businesses with the tools & resources to realize their entrepreneurial dreams. https://t.co/Gg4CSz4gEM — PolitiTweet.org

A great day for American high-tech manufacturing & job creation. In CT & around the country, the CHIPS & Science Act will spur innovation in the industries of the future & sharpen our competitive advantage—all while lowering the cost of everyday goods. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

People in CT will see lower prescription costs & real action to fight climate change thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act. This historic measure will combat costs, save lives & money on medicine, help save the planet, reduce the deficit & more. https://t.co/6fM3HS2rSp — PolitiTweet.org

Marking Community Health Center week, Stamford’s CHC had a health fair—with tons of info & advice available to all attending. Despite the heat, great energy & spirit from this excellent team. — PolitiTweet.org
