Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you to the incredible veterans & advocates making their voices heard on the Senate Steps. Your fortitude & commitment stands in stark contrast to the Senate Rs who are blocking the #PACTAct. I won’t stop fighting until our vets receive the lifesaving benefits in this bill. https://t.co/DrmnheMxPf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This successful operation honors that service, but we have not repaid our debt for their sacrifice until we fully treat their wounds of war—starting by passing the PACT Act. 3 — PolitiTweet.org

I remain deeply grateful to our men & women in uniform who served in the Global War on Terror & who protected us from the untold harm al-Zawahiri & al-Qaeda would have visited on the U.S. without their bravery. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

For decades, Ayman al-Zawahiri orchestrated a global campaign of terror, torture, & murder. I hope his death brings some closure to the families & loved ones of the thousands whose blood is on his hands. 1/ https://t.co/qogswUnXyr — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to join Fairfield Fire & Police Departments & Fire & Police Unions as they announce their donation to the Flagman Project. In the Senate I’ll continue to promote & raise awareness of Slow Down, Move Over laws that reduce struck-by-vehicle injuries & deaths. https://t.co/0D8vEbqS3e — PolitiTweet.org

The federal government must implement a rapid, robust, relentless response to disease outbreaks. I join advocates & experts at @hartfordhosp to call on the admin to urgently act to address Monkeypox—utilize the Defense Production Act & provide more vaccines, tests, & treatment. https://t.co/ax1XHfpkdr — PolitiTweet.org

41 Senate Rs are refusing to support & stand by our veterans who are dying due to toxic exposure. Unacceptable & deplorable—these senators need to stop playing shameful political games with the PACT Act. The blockading of these lifesaving benefits must end without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Mobile home residents at Beechwood community in Killingworth deserve accountability & fairness from Sun Communities Corp. As I heard yesterday, their complaints about unjustified rent increases, inadequate maintenance, & more require answers & action. https://t.co/36d8V1yjk7 — PolitiTweet.org

An exquisitely beautiful day drew very happy crowds to Lebanon’s fair yesterday. Thanks to the Lions for all your great work—here & around the world. https://t.co/IOOPbXbttV — PolitiTweet.org

Students, activists, legislators—galvanizing pro-choice energy—at ECSU yesterday morning. This great rally, Bans Off Our Bodies, shows how support for reproductive rights is mounting in public momentum. https://t.co/du4A981Lgr — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Take A Vet Fishing hosted another hugely successful outing—beautiful weather, great food, & quite a few fish. I urged support for the PACT Act to provide care & benefits for veterans suffering from burn pits & other toxic exposures. All senators must support it. https://t.co/XTyrt2NAZu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Heeding a unanimous Senate vote & similar bipartisan movement in the House, the Administration should meet mounting evidence of Russia’s war crime atrocities—designate it a state sponsor of terrorism. A powerful message to Ukraine & the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Russia has richly earned the real consequences of pariah status. No looking away from stomach turning evidence of brutal mass murder & torture at Bucha & elsewhere—we saw & heard about it in our recent trip to Ukraine. https://t.co/vw0et1T5aS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Obscene record profits by Big Oil companies—multiples of last year’s—show we still need a Windfall Profits Tax to return money to consumers. Even with prices falling, people deserve quarterly rebates—provided by our proposed law. It’s simple fairness. https://t.co/3wiLrXV2ky — PolitiTweet.org

.@CCATInc is the beating heart of applied tech in CT, inspiring scientists, researchers & manufacturers to invent & innovate. Fantastic to join them today to highlight the bipartisan CHIPS & Science Act—a monumental investment & force multiplier for CT manufacturing & technology. https://t.co/mhnxxqEv3A — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

From her time as a public defender & federal prosecutor, to her state court service as a trial & appellate judge, she has been a steadfast advocate for justice. As a Judiciary Committee member, I look forward to championing & supporting her nomination. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Justice Kahn’s vast legal experience & history of public service makes her the perfect fit for the Second Circuit. An immigrant to the U.S. & role model for other judges across CT, she is an inspiration that represents the best of our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Full disclosure of an independent investigation, & follow up by the DOT Inspector General, are vital to prevent a repeat of these mistakes—& make sure there’s accountability from top to bottom. https://t.co/6jIVQPBjvt — PolitiTweet.org

At Bedminster today the 9/11 families are right: No amount of Saudi sportswashing can wipe away the stain from this event. — PolitiTweet.org

🚨ICYMI 🚨: The Kids Online Safety Act passed unanimously out of the Commerce Committee. Next stop—the Senate floor for a full vote. Children’s online safety can’t wait. Kids & parents deserve tools & safeguards to protect against toxic content. — PolitiTweet.org

I stand in strong solidarity with our Senate Cafeteria workers & will not cross the picket line as they fight for a fair contract. There is absolutely no question that they deserve fair wages & benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Last night Senate Republicans turned their backs on our veterans & denied millions life-saving health care. These 25 senators are playing political games with the PACT Act. Our veterans exposed to toxic burn pits desperately need these benefits. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

With reproductive rights under assault, #RepealHelms is necessary to ensure women have the freedom to make decisions about their bodies & futures. The Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act will increase global access to safe reproductive health care & family planning services. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ll continue to fight to prevent this horror from becoming a reality. We won’t give up on the Right to Contraception Act & will keep doing all we can to provide certainty & reassurance to Americans across the nation that they have a choice about starting a family. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

By vetoing our attempt to swiftly pass the Right to Contraception Act, Republicans made crystal clear that they are willing to deny women access to birth control. They are adamant about dragging our country back to a time when women had little or no autonomy over having children. https://t.co/7Rma1XeSPg — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

With this year’s Budget Reconciliation bill we have the opportunity to lower health care costs, close tax loopholes, & take historic action to combat climate change. I’m excited to see Democrats coalescing around this robust legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I urge the House to swiftly advance this bill to support the next generation of talented scientists & to invest in American invention & progress. 3 — PolitiTweet.org
