Rumbling empty stomachs stymie student success—which is why I so strongly supported the Keep Kids Fed Act, passed last Thursday, extending & expanding nutrition programs. CT will receive hundreds of millions of dollars to deliver more than 70 million meals, like here at Weaver. https://t.co/FGsBke5vgu — PolitiTweet.org

Shrinking the ‘boyfriend’ loophole on a federal level wouldn’t have been possible without our fierce CT advocates. Lives will be saved thanks to the tools & protections for domestic violence survivors in the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. https://t.co/Lho7LhT2dM — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic opening of Clover Gardens Housing in Hartford—with huge thanks to the Chrysalis team & all the great community leaders & groups that led it. Exquisitely restored historic buildings & wonderful apartments. https://t.co/IVMZjtdsVC — PolitiTweet.org

Welcome to the Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson! This is a historic step to make the Court reflect all of America. I am thrilled that such a top-notch legal mind with impeccable character & stellar qualifications is joining #SCOTUS. https://t.co/z3vY6u6dEq — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, the Court’s misguided majority have shown that they are politicians with robes, pushing a far-right fringe agenda that they disclaimed as nominees before the American people. 3 — PolitiTweet.org

Its supposed “major questions” doctrine is concocted from legal thin air—an outcome-driven bogus jurisprudential tenet. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

This senseless misstep strait jackets our fight against the climate crisis. It imposes catastrophic constraints on public health protections, with huge human costs. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

The Dobbs decision has evoked anger, outrage, & fear. Proud to stand with dedicated advocates in New London as we fight to protect reproductive freedoms & make sure CT remains a safe harbor for abortion care. https://t.co/BCtgBvEMfX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Roe decision has evoked anger, outrage, & fear. Proud to stand with dedicated advocates in New London as we fight to protect reproductive freedoms & make sure CT remains a safe harbor for abortion care. https://t.co/Xff6zrs7LW — PolitiTweet.org

Saddened to learn of Woody Williams’ passing. We’ve lost a hero who was deeply devoted to duty, servicemembers, vets & their families. Woody & his foundation led the charge in establishing 90+ Gold Star Families Memorials, including Berlin CT whose dedication I attended in April. — PolitiTweet.org

Summer should be full of fun, but it’s important to put safety first. Today I joined @ctchildrens to highlight the tragic consequences of unsupervised pools, unsafely used fireworks, & unwatched hot cars. https://t.co/HBNmdnWRlW — PolitiTweet.org

Denise Merrill was the face of election integrity & fairness in CT. Her resignation is a huge loss for our state. A model public servant, I will miss working with Denise & I wish her & her family all the best during this difficult time.  https://t.co/Wwgj9b3Skr — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

While abortion remains legal in CT, millions of Americans no longer have the right to decide when & whether to have kids. The threat of a national ban—overriding CT law—remains a real danger. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A profound thank you to staff at New Haven's Planned Parenthood for all you are doing to keep abortion care accessible. I'll continue to stand strong with providers & advocates to fight to protect reproductive freedom. https://t.co/x7pLa5CYPE — PolitiTweet.org

Warmest thanks & congrats to all involved in this year’s successful & suspenseful Travelers Championship—players, staff, sponsors, supporters, fans, & more. World class golf benefiting wonderfully worthwhile CT charities. Michael Thorbjornsen is a keeper.https://t.co/c541y4iHbY — PolitiTweet.org

The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act protects survivors of domestic violence from gun violence. Today I was proud to join @SBA_Project to highlight the lifesaving provisions that will help stop domestic abusers from purchasing & possessing firearms. https://t.co/hNBJ4grbZj — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Birthday Beardsley Zoo! A fantastic Centennial bash this weekend—with musical entertainment, an animal show, time capsule, & much more. My favorite: the cake contest. Honored to participate in this history celebration. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Amazing rallies—yesterday in Norwalk&today in Westport—standing up for women’s freedom&reproductive rights. Anger, anguish, deep fear&more, galvanizing a movement against this assault on basic liberties. There will be even more coming from this right wing, outcome driven SCOTUS. https://t.co/EEhfBfJQwm — PolitiTweet.org

Inspiring celebration last night of Milford Bank’s 150th year of community commitment & service. A wonderful tribute to a financial institution that has supported entrepreneurs & small businesses, job creation & charitable giving, new careers, & much more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Wonderful Bicentennial Parade in Orange—lots of tractors, fife and drum corps, floats, and enthusiastic well wishers, all followed by a town picnic. And of course a perfect weather day. Congrats! https://t.co/AdhIor4THq — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday the Supreme Court decided that people wanting to carry guns have a nearly absolute right. Today it ruled that women making personal health care decisions have no rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The government should never be allowed to dictate decisions about pregnancy that should remain between a woman&her doctor. The government should not be able to impose a forced pregnancy on anyone—especially a pregnancy that is the result of abuse or rape or threatens their life. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Every American should have the right to decide whether & when to have children. Politicians do not know better than women what kind of care they need from their physicians. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A woman no longer has the right to decide when & whether to bear children. In fact, if Mitch McConnell is in charge, he’ll be leading a national ban on abortion, shredding laws in CT & other states protecting women’s choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In overturning #Roe, the Court strips women of the freedom to make their own health care decisions & puts that power in the hands of the government. — PolitiTweet.org

After the activist SCOTUS once again legislated from the bench this morning & struck down a decades old gun violence prevention law, it has never been more necessary for Congress to continue to legislate for a safer America. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This isn't the measure I would've fought for or written if acting alone, but it marks meaningful progress. It'll save lives. If you wait for everything in the Senate, you’ll get nothing—& progress is better than nothing. I'm proud to have helped draft this bill & vote for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

10 yrs ago, when we failed on background check reform after Sandy Hook, the families of those killed yelled “shame!” from the gallery. Today, w/the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act it wasn’t shouts of “shame!”; it was cries of relief that we're finally, at last, doing our jobs. https://t.co/MVRpF3HQWY — PolitiTweet.org
