At my urging, it includes provisions to fight sexual harassment in STEM & support young scientists whose careers have been impacted by the pandemic. It’ll make it easier for women & other underrepresented groups to thrive by tackling deep inequities that exist in STEM fields. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

The CHIPS & Science Act is the most impactful technology step in recent history for high-tech job creation & economic growth. It will spur innovation, fight inflation, & increase high-tech manufacturing & jobs—in CT & around the country. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

This bill gives back control to kids & parents over their online lives. Big Tech may resist, w/armies of lobbyists & lawyers, but this unanimous vote reflects how Americans feel. Along w/my partner in this effort, @MarshaBlackburn, I’ll continue fighting for swift Senate passage. — PolitiTweet.org

We have heard the harrowing accounts about how Big Tech essentially betrayed its trust using black box algorithms to drive destructive content to children—content about the self-harm, substance abuse, bullying, addiction, & simply horrible pain. — PolitiTweet.org

This unanimous bipartisan committee vote on the Kids Online Safety Act marks a momentous step toward holding Big Tech accountable for putting profits above kids’ safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic to be at the Queen Ann Nzinga Center yesterday to celebrate the $10K federal grant for their youth art program, which will nurture young people’s creativity & foster their self-confidence. This investment in the next generation of talent is worth every penny. https://t.co/lKx68gVLvX — PolitiTweet.org

America’s pastime deserves fairness for all baseball players & minor league teams. Today I am calling on Commissioner Manfred to answer questions about MLB’s unique antitrust exemption & how it is stifling pay for MiLB players & opportunities for teams. https://t.co/kzZZ17DUwK — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday morning’s Hartford rally of activists for SCOTUS reform was a compelling call to action. Consideration of term limits & increased Justice numbers has wider discussion than ever. Recusal, ethics & disclosure rules are a must, along w/more federal lower court judgeships. https://t.co/6EL6SaZ9Io — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to present a Certificate of Special Recognition to the Lordship Community Church in Stratford celebrating its 100th year. A wonderful community anchor & inspiration, bolstering faith & fortitude for so many, over so many years. — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see a key VA health care leadership position filled—after a 5-year vacancy—by a proven professional, Dr. Shereef Elnahal. As Under Secretary he faces tremendous challenges to provide world class care for 9 million vets, our heroes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As good environmental stewards, the Pathfinders Motorcycle Club are enhancing trails at Thomaston Dam—with help from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers & Yamaha Motor Corp. I was inspired to see their hands on work in this beautiful CT treasure. https://t.co/qbi30bEV5V — PolitiTweet.org

A moving annual Remembrance Ceremony honoring Korean War Veterans—thanks to the Waterbury Veterans Memorial Committee. On the Green, we resolved again never to forget brave Americans who fought this often forgotten war, & so many heroes tragically lost. https://t.co/5n7oohOK5R — PolitiTweet.org

Goodwill has countless treasures—in items donated, & even more in people who work there. Some are re-entering the workforce after incarceration, requiring job training to be supported by a $372K federal grant announced yesterday during my visit. An inspiring way back. https://t.co/wCHorWANZk — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

With reproductive rights under assault nationwide, Planned Parenthood & the Cornell Scott Hill Health Center's #TitleX services are a vital lifeline. We must pass the Expanded Access to Family Planning Act to protect access to birth control, cancer screenings, & more. https://t.co/ZDDBxeLzEC — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to the House Judiciary Committee for voting to repeal the sweeping sweetheart deal—known as PLCAA—that gives gun manufacturers immunity from lawsuits. The Senate should also move forward with my companion bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In the face of abhorrent attacks on reproductive freedom we need a consistent, strong source of funding for #TitleX programs. Through the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act we can support access to birth control, cancer screenings, & other vital reproductive care services. https://t.co/ZRu3HA3HCL — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing President Biden a swift recovery. Get well soon! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As I listened to First Lady Zelenska's address, I was deeply moved by her eloquent, emotional appeal. We must do more to combat Putin’s atrocities—providing additional weaponry, designating Russia a state sponsor of terrorism, & imposing stronger sanctions.https://t.co/HPwagw5BH3 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I will continue to fight for the Kids Online Safety Act’s swift passage alongside Senator @MarshaBlackburn, my partner in this important effort. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The markup of the Kids Online Safety Act will bring us closer to holding Big Tech accountable for putting profits above kids’ safety. This step shows momentum&strong bipartisan support for empowering kids&parents with tools&safeguards they need to shield against harmful content. https://t.co/sVLrcdiO6Q — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This critical legislation would boldly bolster federal Title X funding—supporting birth control, pregnancy counseling, cancer screening, & other vital health care—which are more important now than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

At this crucial moment, as health care rights stand in supreme danger—the Expanding Access to Family Planning Act would be a lifeline for the millions of Americans that rely on Title X’s Family Planning Program for reproductive health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today I heard strong support from East Hartford seniors for proposals to cut the cost of prescription drugs  that I hope the Senate will soon approve—inflation rebates, out of pocket cost caps, Medicare price negotiation, & more. Highly significant, historic steps. https://t.co/QCsdbkGpLM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congrats to the leaders & staff who through their grit & determination have succeeded in unionizing at the Vernon Starbucks store.   Starbucks needs to stop stonewalling & listen to their employees. They want fair wages, fair working conditions, & fair treatment. https://t.co/j7UEcs1xK4 — PolitiTweet.org

Celebrate East Lyme back—bigger & better—after a 2 year hiatus. People region-wide gathering on Main St, near the site of Amtrak’s proposed new fence, which we’re fighting because it would destroy unique views. https://t.co/uJFu9nAkmD — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing music, incredible food, huge crowds at Windham’s 1st annual Latin Multicultural Festival. Jillson Square was rocking. Big thanks to vendors, artists, the town, & Luna Productions/Latino Fest USA! — PolitiTweet.org

Honored & excited to start Lime Rock’s IMSA Grand Prix—with the iconic, “Drivers, Start Your Engines” & Green Flag. Lime Rock is a CT gem! Thanks to Skip Barber, Dicky Riegel, & all their team. https://t.co/3icjbVkKYr — PolitiTweet.org

Deeply honored to join Red McKinney’s spectacularly beautiful family for East Hampton’s Old Home Days Parade—honoring him. We did “paint the town red” but really missed a special, wonderful friend. https://t.co/w7jhbKkW2Q — PolitiTweet.org
