Instead, they devised a series of bad faith amendments—in effect malicious poison pills. As they made clear, not a single one of their amendments would have changed their vote, which is why I opposed all of them to protect the integrity of the bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite the years of bipartisan negotiations that led to this bill, my Republican colleagues were categorically unwilling to support it when it actually came to a vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Democrats have fought for years to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices which will result in huge savings for seniors. This bill is the largest investment & most important action to fight climate change in history. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our bill will cut costs for consumers. It will help families better afford groceries, gas, & utilities while billionaire tax cheats will finally have to pay their fair share. — PolitiTweet.org

I voted a resounding YES on the Inflation Reduction Act. This legislation is history-making & record-setting. It will save money, it will save lives, & it will help save the planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In recent history, the Inflation Reduction Act is: —The most important action to cut medicine costs —The largest investment to fight climate change —The most significant tax fairness measure This bill is a game changer. It will truly make a difference in Americans' lives. https://t.co/GCJrsGe2Nb — PolitiTweet.org

Large blind zones in front of cars are reportedly causing heartbreaking deaths of kids. I am asking NHTSA for an update on data & steps they are taking to stop these tragic frontovers. https://t.co/YqSIXDBVV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Today we #RememberOakCreek 10 years after the deadliest attack on Sikh Americans. As we reflect on the lives lost & forever changed, I remain committed to expanding federal resources to prevent the targeted, hate-fueled violence that continues to terrorize our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden Administration is opening up critical resources to address the monkeypox outbreak. We must take decisive, forward looking action to combat its spread. https://t.co/KEVmgJgIiE — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Americans want tools to fight climate change. They want lower prescription & health care costs. They want fair taxes, so big corporations pay their share. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, we'll be taking historic, transformative steps to make these demands a reality. https://t.co/MN6Vb0BE9r — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I agree, @SenWhitehouse. What we are seeing is a concerted effort to shatter our free & fair electoral process while threatening the patriotic poll workers making sure Americans can exercise their right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The NCAA & universities have benefited from the industry’s inequities for far too long, enriching themselves while leaving athletes with few protections. I’m proud to join @SenBooker in reintroducing this measure which will put America’s over 500,000 college athletes first. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This issue is about fairness & justice, which is why athletes deserve access to a Medical Trust Fund, increased educational resources to ensure they earn their degree, & the right to financially benefit from their hard work. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The College Athletes Bill of Rights will compel colleges to put athletes’ wellness above profits. While the NCAA’s draconian rules have built a broken, unfair system on the backs of these athletes’ blood, sweat&tears, this measure invests in their educational&economic futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Senate Rs blocked the Let Doctors Provide Reproductive Health Care Act—a bill to prevent anti-abortion laws from being used to prosecute providers in states like CT where it's still legal. Docs need to be able to do their jobs. I won’t stop working to prevent this persecution. https://t.co/JwQtYgHIVW — PolitiTweet.org

I’m saddened by the passing of Congresswoman Walorski & her staff members Emma & Zachary. My heart goes out to their loved ones & office during this deeply difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

This triumph is thanks in large part to the tireless work of vets & advocates like Peter & his wife Amy. Now that this bill is finally becoming law I will remain focused on making sure the VA delivers these benefits & health care as soon as possible. https://t.co/pmKTFh7Wyu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During last night’s remarks on the passage of the PACT Act my mind kept turning to Peter Antioho—a brave, patriotic CT vet who died from cancer caused by burn pits. I fought for this bill in his memory & for all who suffer from the horrific wounds of war. https://t.co/d2Lto6xErq — PolitiTweet.org

Cash Refunds for Flight Cancellations Act will put money back into the pockets of consumers suffering from airline travel chaos. By requiring full cash refunds, this bill is an important step towards airline accountability & fairness for travelers. https://t.co/TQXjcR1lBM — PolitiTweet.org

Reese’s Law has passed the Senate&is headed to the President’s desk. This commonsense bill—in honor of Reese Hamsmith—will strengthen small battery safety standards&prevent serious injuries. Families can now have greater peace of mind about the safety of products in their homes. https://t.co/tcW6AFeTov — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud to have focused for years on this legislation & that it includes provisions I fought for to ensure the fairest, broadest possible coverage. Once Pres. Biden signs this bill into law, we must focus on delivering this critical care to our veterans as soon as possible. 3 — PolitiTweet.org

This bill is a victory for vets who served & sacrificed abroad & now suffer from insidious, horrific diseases caused by exposure to burn pits & toxic chemicals. This bipartisan measure will bring well-deserved relief to our veterans & their families affected by toxic exposure. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

I’m proud&happy that the #PACTAct has finally passed following yrs of hard work by myself&colleagues on @SVACDems. After needless, shameful delay, the tireless advocacy of our vets made today’s victory possible. Sleeping on Capitol steps for days, they refused to be defeated. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

China’s bluster & bullying shall not bend our support for allies & national interests, both economic & military. Safe travels to Nancy Pelosi & thank you for speaking truth to power. https://t.co/YLkkUx6hpq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Tremendously heartened by the effective advocacy of our veterans who refused to be defeated. Votes on the #PACTAct, scheduled for later today, signal colleagues have seen the light—or been shown it by our veterans. Once again, they are our heroes. — PolitiTweet.org
