Beautifully joyous, spirited Juneteenth celebration in Bridgeport, with rollicking concert & activities at Seaside Park after the parade. Great to see families enjoying this wonderful event & thank you to all who made it possible. https://t.co/zGIWU7HMCr — PolitiTweet.org

Lives are on the line. Through this set of measures we plan to take meaningful, real action to help stop this scourge. Whether you’re Republican or Democrat, we can’t continue to ignore our nation's epidemic of gun violence. We need to act—& we need to act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Senator Graham & I started working on this issue 4 yrs ago—together, we've spent countless hours in meetings with local law enforcement learning how these laws are implemented & how they can be improved. I am very proud to have the support of our colleagues on this provision. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Countless families who have lost someone to suicide have told me that they wished they had the tools to have their loved ones' guns removed while they were in crisis & until they could get help. This could make a big difference, especially for the veterans community. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This provision is hugely important—& not just because it might stop the next mass shooting. The vast majority of firearm deaths are suicides. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

One of the pillars of this framework is a proposal that will help temporarily separate someone from deadly weapons if a court determines that they might hurt themselves or other people. Also known as red flag laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

BREAKING: We have a bipartisan agreement on gun violence prevention measures. Our plan will help ensure dangerous individuals who are a threat to themselves & others can’t purchase weapons, provide increased mental health resources, & improve student support & safety. — PolitiTweet.org

A spectacular Norwalk #PrideInThePark, thanks to the Triangle Community Center. Wonderful crowds, food, music, & more. Great event! https://t.co/urAzjfVuJt — PolitiTweet.org

Hundreds in Stamford at March For Our Lives rally demanding action for commonsense gun violence prevention. The rallying cry: Do your job. https://t.co/RFzmHFA3Ce — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The march & rally drew crowds in Newtown—with March For Our Lives leaders championing laws that can save lives by stopping gun violence. Enough is enough. https://t.co/vR3ns721v4 — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing energy & passion in Hartford at March For Our Lives rally & march, organized by truly inspiring young leaders. Their powerful eloquence is making a historic difference & creating a movement. Thank you! https://t.co/D1Ttew4rvq — PolitiTweet.org

A great cause at a great place—this dinner for Moya Ukraine drew a wonderful crowd of very strong, satisfied supporters to Dom’s Broad Street Eatery in Windsor. Thanks to Jason DiBella, all his family & team, for your boundless generosity. Dom’s is a CT gem! https://t.co/dhWktITdtt — PolitiTweet.org

Jan. 6th will forever be seared into my memory. I was on the Senate floor when insurrectionists brutally attacked law enforcement to violently enter the Capitol & try to undermine the will of American voters. These hearings are fundamental to getting answers & accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Poisonous contamination at Abbott’s infant formula plant likely caused many more preventable deaths than previously acknowledged by the FDA—making an IG investigation absolutely mandatory. I’ll request it, w/thanks to @rosadelauro for exposing this outrage.https://t.co/3xGSqsjuaq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Welcome to America 2022 where a 4th grader has to cover herself in the blood of her classmate in an attempt to not also be shot & killed.  This doesn't have to be our reality. For the Senate this is a put up or shut up moment. We need to act. Lives hang in the balance. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am encouraged by NHTSA’s expanded probe into Tesla’s Autopilot systems.  The agency must swiftly complete its investigation for the sake of public safety & ensure Tesla is not misleading the public & making our roads more dangerous. https://t.co/j4eFl83dql — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Huge thanks to the students from @AMarch4OurLives who met with me today. Your fearless, ardent advocacy inspires me to continue working tirelessly in the Senate to turn your calls for change into action. https://t.co/l0F3yilyMq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

SCOTUS & Republicans have signaled their next move: a nationwide ban on abortion. The time is now for President Biden to issue an executive order to defend reproductive freedoms so women can continue to make their own decisions about their bodies, lives, & futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Safeguarding our veterans’ sensitive personal records & medical information is incredibly important. Today I convened a roundtable of VA & private sector stakeholders to exchange ideas about how to best secure & shield the VA health care system from cyberattacks. https://t.co/sAerkUp8oE — PolitiTweet.org

#WorldOceansDay is a reminder of the wonders at sea & the work necessary to protect our precious oceans. I won’t let up the fight for #OceanClimateAction & the need to preserve marine ecosystems like Northeast Canyons & Seamounts so future generations can enjoy these treasures. https://t.co/59dHZKFl0p — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Veterans deserve health care & benefits for their exposure to burn pits & other toxic chemicals—relief provided by the PACT Act. Congress should move quickly to pass this milestone measure, providing relief for serious illnesses like cancer linked to service. https://t.co/9VY2n5MhSq — PolitiTweet.org

These are clear measures to provide relief to communities, & I call on my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to join this effort. I call on the President to support these steps, & I will continue to pursue additional legislative solutions. 4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Biden Administration must take more action—including pressuring OPEC & Big Oil to produce more supply & continued releases of oil from emergency reserves. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

A Windfall Profits Tax would put oil company profits back in consumers’ pockets as quarterly rebates. A Price Gouging Prevention Act would stop unconscionable price hikes with powerful penalties & strong FTC enforcement. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Big Oil is profiteering while causing consumers pain at the pump. People deserve relief, & they deserve it now. That is why we need a comprehensive set of federal actions like the Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax, Gasoline Price Gouging Prevention Act, & other initiatives. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to @GiffordsCourage for bringing us together at this critical, historic moment. A moment of opportunity that we must seize with the #CourageToAct. We must take to serious heart @GabbyGiffords' message: fight, fight, fight. Never, ever give up. https://t.co/cKe0iGBlPx — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The proof is indisputable to raise gun purchase age limits. 6 of the 9 most deadly mass gun killings since 2018 were committed by shooters 21 or younger. Congress can save lives. https://t.co/JJOogrM29E — PolitiTweet.org
