So inspired to join yesterday in celebrating fantastic St. Joseph’s University graduates—their exuberance raising the XL Center’s roof.  Congrats to you, your families, & great educators. — PolitiTweet.org

A proud, exciting day for Post University graduates & families—filling the Palace Theater in Waterbury with rollicking joy & applause. We need their skills & energy more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

For the evils of Replacement Theory, there are no “good people on both sides.” This twisted hate ideology deserves to be denounced & shunned clearly & loudly. I hope my colleagues will join me in supporting stronger hate crimes legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Extolled by racist extremists, Replacement Theory has become the go-to hate mantra of domestic terrorists—with a gloss of legitimacy from the far right fringe ecosystem. All must condemn it. My silent colleagues are complicit. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Justice Thomas’ fears for the Court ring hollow given his own actions. If he is really concerned about SCOTUS’ credibility, he must look in the mirror—repeated colossal conflicts of interest staring back at him. We need a SCOTUS Code of Ethics. https://t.co/f5YPmu9xVw — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our courts’ authority rests in the American people’s belief in their independence & integrity. Conservative judicial activism seeking to overturn 50 yrs of precedent—that justices themselves described as settled in sworn testimony—staggeringly undermines the Court’s credibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Worse than the leak (unethical) is the opinion (unconscionable), stripping away women’s rights. SCOTUS stands ready to revoke abortion access, reproductive justice, & the right for every person to make their own decisions about their bodies & their health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress’ recent hate crimes bill must be bolstered, but common sense also compels gun violence prevention steps that can stop this relentless carnage. We cannot look the other away. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

More lives will be lost & futures shattered if our nation & Congress does not confront the hatred we allow to fester & the gun violence scourge that goes unchecked. Enough must be enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My heart breaks for the Buffalo & East Side community. Even as our thoughts go out to the victims & families, we must honor them with action. Dark, ugly, & hate-filled as this time seems, we cannot back down or give up. https://t.co/2aGqqTXKHG — PolitiTweet.org

Truly inspiring & exciting to visit Nuovo Pasta yesterday in Stratford—a fabulous American success story of hard work, great taste, & caring for consumers & staff. Watching the factory in action was wonderful—but tasting was the best. https://t.co/Ud5HBfvFns — PolitiTweet.org

Click Bond creates innovative products that have been utilized in the space program & numerous defense projects. Wonderful to visit their Watertown facility yesterday & speak with their amazing managers & workers. https://t.co/X3Jbr4fTQH — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A huge congratulations to the two CT students—Maya & Aditya—named 2022 Presidential Scholars. We are all so proud of your accomplishments & excited for your bright futures ahead. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to stand with @SEIU to call for a living wage & fair benefits for our frontline airport workers. We must support these hardworking people who are the backbone of our transportation network. https://t.co/Lpphrys1wO — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Deeply alarming reports of shortages, scams, & price gouging. We must quickly work to ensure all infants have access to the nutrition they need. I'll be demanding answers from the FTC & FDA about what more can be done to fix this scarcity & prevent scammers from taking advantage. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This has been a really tough few weeks for providers all across the country. From the bottom of my heart, especially with today’s vote on #WHPA, I wanted to say thank you. We’ll never stop fighting for reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For years I’ve been a steadfast advocate of the health care Planned Parenthood provides—especially their location in New Haven, which I’ve visited many times. This afternoon I went a few blocks from the Capitol to visit their DC location & thank their incredible staff. https://t.co/rSLSkcPK4M — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A handful of billionaires completely controlling dominant social media platforms has an untold, unparalleled impact on users, competition, & our democracy. We need continued public scrutiny, hearings, & regulation. https://t.co/l6LgJVfNqB — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As costs & scams exploiting Americans skyrocket, this confirmation is critical to bolster FTC’s power to act swiftly & to decrease the pain in people’s pocketbooks. I’ve been proud to advocate for his nomination & look forward to seeing his impressive work at the FTC. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Alvaro Bedoya will be a steadfast, strong champion for privacy & civil rights. I’ve seen firsthand Commissioner Bedoya’s commitment to holding Big Tech accountable for their abuses & know he will be a powerful voice in protecting consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We’re going to take this issue back to the American people, & make them aware of the devastating even deadly consequences of the Supreme Court stripping away a woman’s control over her own body. We are not backing down or going away. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Let’s not forget for one minute what today’s vote means: Republicans are taking away women’s freedom to make choices about their own bodies. 3/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Supreme Court is poised to strip women of the freedom to make their own health care decisions & put that power in the hands of the government—& so-called “liberty-loving” Republican Senators just gave them the go ahead. 2/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I'm disappointed in today’s vote, but I'm undeterred—I will never stop fighting for abortion access, reproductive justice, & the right for every person to make their own decisions about their bodies & their health care. 1/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It has never been more urgent for us to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. Yesterday, I went to the floor to call on the Senate to codify the 50 years of precedent established by Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/dGqZkObRRv — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Supreme Court is poised to eradicate Americans' fundamental right to an abortion. We need to stand up & take action to protect reproductive freedoms & prevent an enormous leap backward with incalculable costs & consequences for countless women & their families. https://t.co/1b3hPtZdGA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We cannot rely on the courts to defend abortion rights & access. The Senate needs to take action to enshrine the promise & vision of Roe v. Wade in federal law. We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. #WHPA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

RT @ACPressNLeonard: Connecticut @SenBlumenthal is leading a push in the U.S. Senate to enshrine abortion rights in federal law. The Wome… — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Dr. Perritt’s (@Reprorightsdoc) testimony from last June's #WHPA hearing is as moving & impactful today as it was then. She is right—people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, & low-income individuals bear the brunt of these bans. We must pass #WHPA. https://t.co/glE0gvwdHR — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

When the Senate votes this week on #WHPA to codify Roe v. Wade, I will vote YES. — PolitiTweet.org
