#Juneteenth is a time for both celebration & somber reflection on the experiences of generations of Black Americans. Today, we honor the trailblazers & heroes—past & present—who fought to ensure our country lives up to its ideals of freedom, justice, & equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #FathersDay! To all the dads, grandfathers, & father figures—thank you for the guidance, love, & support you share. — PolitiTweet.org

Inspired to participate in Veterans Military Funeral Honors yesterday—a ceremony at the State Veterans Cemetery for 4 brave servicemen whose remains were unclaimed. They may have outlived friends&family but they should not be forgotten. Thanks to Commr. Saadi & Dept Vets Affairs! — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to join the First Annual #Juneteenth Flag Raising today in Hartford. This moving ceremony recognizes our commitment to uplifting Black history & heritage, while also serving as a reminder of our nation’s ongoing fight for freedom, justice, & equality. https://t.co/xe416MipsL — PolitiTweet.org

And after Peter passed, his beautiful wife Amy continued the cause—with unstinting courage & selflessness. Today’s triumph was in his memory. He & Amy are American heroes. Veterans who never knew them will be better because of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I thought of Peter Antioho—a brave, strong, deeply patriotic vet who died from cancer caused by his burn pit exposure during his combat deployment. I was honored to fight for his benefits&he tenaciously joined me in fighting for all who suffer from these horrific wounds of war. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There were tears in my eyes this afternoon when the Senate passed the PACT Act providing benefits&care to veterans suffering the cruel, deadly effects of exposure to burn pits&other toxic chemicals while serving&fighting for our nation. Help shamefully long overdue&well earned. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This equipment is at the core of our commitment to national defense in a deeply dangerous world. The NDAA also advances significant support to Ukraine, which I championed, providing arms to defend against Russia’s brutal assault. I’ll push for swift passage by the full Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act makes robust milestone investments in strategic defense to keep our country secure&CT’s economy strong. Particularly important is the solid support for new submarines&helicopters—made by the world’s finest workforce here in CT. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We simply would not be here today w/o the tireless advocacy of @iava, @DAVHQ, @VFWHQ, @MilitaryOfficer, @Burnpit360, @TAPSorg, impacted families&so many others. Their work to spearhead this issue was critical to move the Senate, as well as the VA & Biden Admin, to action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This milestone measure also shows that bipartisanship is alive&can produce meaningful results. I will continue fighting for its swift passage by the House so veterans can receive overdue, well-earned benefits&care as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ve been honored to champion the PACT Act for our brave heroes&thrilled by its overwhelming bipartisan approval. It’ll deliver well-deserved relief&begin to right the nation’s inaction by helping vets affected by toxic exposure, including illnesses from burn pits&other toxins. — PolitiTweet.org

Workers at our nation’s airports deserve living wages & fair benefits. I’m proud to help lead the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act to support the hardworking people who kept transportation hubs running through the pandemic & continue to serve travelers as they return to the skies. https://t.co/mgrWcaRsIL — PolitiTweet.org

We must reckon with the lasting damage of ‘forever chemicals.’ The EPA is right to strengthen health advisories for PFAS & provide communities with funding, made possible by the bipartisan infrastructure law, to address these contaminants in drinking water.https://t.co/0H6Y7NnGtw — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For a decade DACA has offered protections to millions of Dreamers who have grown up here & made vital contributions to our communities. DACA recipients’ protective status shouldn't hang in the balance. We must create a permanent solution that includes a pathway to citizenship. https://t.co/vaM3VIhldy — PolitiTweet.org

This newly disclosed data shows the sweeping scope of dangers in automated driving & driver assistance technology. I’ve warned repeatedly of these perils & the need to prioritize safety. A lot of work is still necessary but honesty is a first step. https://t.co/9D2jIvybnI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Jose G. “Joe” Pickard, a CT Borinqueneer, was a true hero. I remember fondly when he joined fellow veterans of Puerto Rican heritage in DC to be awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for their service. I’m saddened to learn of his passing & my heart is with his loved ones. https://t.co/ck2wqAytGB — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It is unconscionable that it has taken more than a decade to notify the public about the dangers linked to these rockers after multiple kids’ deaths & injuries. Congress must empower the CPSC to issue quicker recalls & warnings by passing the Sunshine in Product Safety Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Fisher-Price & Kids2 must immediately cooperate with the CPSC & recall these deadly rockers. With more than a dozen infant deaths linked to these dangerous products, it is clear they should be swiftly removed from the market & from unsuspecting families’ homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Happy 247th birthday to the @USArmy. For generations, these servicemembers have proudly & bravely defended our country & our freedoms. Thank you for your unwavering service. #AlwaysReady — PolitiTweet.org

The bipartisan plan on gun violence is a breakthrough moment that wouldn’t be possible without CT's amazing activists. Red flag laws, mental health support, school safety, & more—these measures will save lives. I won’t stop fighting to get this framework over the finish line. https://t.co/ZbXWeeQYva — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Melody Currey was a dedicated & tireless public servant & mentor. She was a trailblazing leader—legislator, mayor, commissioner—whose remarkable service, kindness, & generosity touched many lives in CT. I offer my deepest condolences to the Currey family. https://t.co/zwMf9IxCu6 — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to attend Green’s Farm Church Rededication & thank a congregation that helps anchor the community & gives to it so generously. Its history & vital role, dating from 1711, are amazing. https://t.co/RG1sk7wrtc — PolitiTweet.org

Stupendous community spirit at the Black Rock Day 2022 Parade—with bands, floats, marchers, & more. Everyone cheering friends & neighbors, & enjoying Ellsworth Field festival afterward. Great to be back! — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Parents, coaches, fans, airport workers—all cheered with moist-eyed joy & pride for Team CT Special Olympic Athletes arriving home from the 2022 USA Games in Orlando. Awesome beyond words! Thanks to all who supported these brave, bold athletes. https://t.co/g9ETbyt4X2 — PolitiTweet.org

American Legion Post 45 Watch Fire Ceremony retired worn, tattered, torn American flags with dignity & respect. A stirring patriotic celebration of American values, veterans, & service. Thank you for this inspiring tribute to our flag & all it represents. https://t.co/QwyBJ5aCxr — PolitiTweet.org
