Inaction on gun violence is not an option. We need to do everything in our power to prevent mass shootings & gun deaths. The laws we are fighting to pass will save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

The Stratford ceremony & parade—always among my Memorial Day favorites—were especially meaningful this year as they returned to rousingly patriotic spirited events. Thanks to all, especially the vets who marched or watched, for making it memorable. https://t.co/SwSJY8ppTx — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Torrington for your warm Memorial Day welcome at the parade today—a wonderful salute to the heroes who’ve kept us free & strong. I was proud to be with so many great vets & excited to see so many cheering them. https://t.co/TkHg5jfqFh — PolitiTweet.org

Monroe’s parade&ceremony—inspiring&exciting—brought big crowds&enthusiasm on a sun filled perfect day. We honor our fallen heroes by caring for the living—veterans who need&deserve jobs, education, skill training,&,yes, health care. Often they bear the invisible wounds of war. https://t.co/SWbB1nxikf — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to participate in Orange’s moving Memorial Day ceremony & then march in its wonderful parade—great spirit & gratitude to America’s fallen heroes. Under cloudless blue skies, patriotism shone brightly as the sun. — PolitiTweet.org

An early morning Memorial Day ceremony in Milford was a powerful way to start this beautiful day. Thank you for reminding us what is most important about this holiday—a tribute to heroes who have fought & died to protect our freedom & independence. — PolitiTweet.org

Marching in Wethersfield’s wonderful Memorial Day Parade was a stirring start to a weekend of honoring our nation’s heroes. In a dangerous world, we should appreciate more than ever their sacrifice & service defending our precious freedoms & democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Being part of USS Oregon’s Commissioning, bringing it “to life,” was inspiring—a reminder of how critical our submarine force is to undersea superiority&deterrence. Even more amazing than the boat, is its skilled, dedicated crew&their families,&the unmatched EB shipbuilders. https://t.co/W4yZPK380e — PolitiTweet.org

This Memorial Day weekend we honor the vets who gave their lives, but we also remember & continue to advocate for those who gave their health for our country. The Senate must pass the PACT Act to help deliver health care to our brave servicemembers exposed to toxic substances. https://t.co/XVQgtp6nkV — PolitiTweet.org

.@MomsDemand, @Everytown, @StudentsDemand, & other fierce advocates in America are rising up & saying enough is enough. I want to see a vote on the floor of the Senate on red flag laws & other measures. We know what we have to do. We know what can save lives. https://t.co/WCGgU6K3YS — PolitiTweet.org

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives has been without a leader since 2015. This has to change. ATF nominee Steven Dettelbach is an extraordinarily qualified nominee w/a record of combating violent extremism. He has my support & must be expeditiously confirmed. https://t.co/PBr8pFmpXV — PolitiTweet.org

Congress' job is to vote. It's how we change this gut-wrenching, heartbreaking status quo. Inaction is complicity. — PolitiTweet.org

I remember the feeling standing outside the firehouse in Sandy Hook as parents learned that their children would not be coming home that night. The same bottomless grief is hitting the families in Uvalde. There are no words, but words will mean nothing without action. https://t.co/l5MfZW8r0v — PolitiTweet.org

My heart breaks as I re-live the shock & grief of Sandy Hook ten years ago, knowing the infinite pain that will hit these families in Texas. This senseless violence will stop only when Congress matches thoughts & prayers with action. — PolitiTweet.org

No words can capture my wrenching sadness for the Robb Elementary School families & for our great nation that continues to be torn apart by horrendous gun violence—taking so many beautiful lives & spreading anguish & horror. — PolitiTweet.org

Parents are right to be fearful & frustrated. Many steps must be taken to counteract the infant formula crisis: increased imports, quick utilization of the Defense Production Act, & enhancements to WIC to make online purchases accessible. Babies & their caregivers need action. https://t.co/flJoJCsKAF — PolitiTweet.org

Sikorsky’s new era helicopters—Defiant X & Raider X—offer unmatched versatility, maneuverability, reliability, & more. Also, the most cost effective to buy & fly. Made by CT based Sikorsky they should be clear winners for American troops, who deserve decisive air superiority. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Bill signing by @GovNedLamont today—marking a milestone agreement with Sikorsky—means more than 7,000 jobs in CT making the next generation of helicopters. We have the world’s best helicopter workforce—now we need the work. I’ll be fighting for Sikorsky to win DOD contracts. https://t.co/BlcDbkdl9B — PolitiTweet.org

Vigil Against Violence in Stamford brought together faith leaders, law enforcement&public officials committed to stopping the cancer of hatred spreading in our society, spawning tragedies like Buffalo. We must pass the Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act&implement the NO HATE Act. https://t.co/BF1gTwFibH — PolitiTweet.org

Hartford Stage’s Spring Gala had plenty of stars last night—its stupendous staff, board, volunteers&supporters who enable its artistic excellence&educational outreach. Federal funds through the SVOG Act—which I was proud to lead—aided their dedicated work during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
