I’m standing with CT women’s health providers & advocates to decry SCOTUS’ abhorrent draft decision & call for the passage of #WHPA. At the federal level we need a law that preserves & protects reproductive rights. https://t.co/mUM1s1TWEu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It's beyond time for Congress to protect the right to an abortion & pass the Women's Health Protection Act. RT if you agree. #WHPA — PolitiTweet.org

Russia’s horrific inhumanity—barbaric atrocities & war crimes—have richly earned its designation as a state sponsor of terrorism. I’ll be leading this resolution with Senator Graham, applying stiffer sanctions & making it a true pariah among nations. https://t.co/FaqJZx7Fwo — PolitiTweet.org

To all the moms out there, wishing you a day as special as you are. Through hugs, patience, words of encouragement, & more, thank you for all that you do to enliven & enrich our lives. Happy Mother’s Day! — PolitiTweet.org

Consumers deserve a break at the gas pump—as oil companies reap record profits. Pass our Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax Act & require rebates—to put money back in peoples’ pockets. https://t.co/9Ca7aKtCcM — PolitiTweet.org

Keeping kids safe as they travel to & from school is so important. Thrilled to be in Stamford today to announce $2 million in federal funding to build sidewalks within a mile radius of all Stamford Public Schools, as well as within a 1/2 mile of all bus stops. https://t.co/AQuLCSj8OY — PolitiTweet.org

Nurses are heroes who go above & beyond to aid those in need. Today, on #NationalNurseDay, I want to say thank you for your tireless work to save lives & provide care. — PolitiTweet.org

The Women’s Health Protection Act will codify Roe v. Wade & reaffirm a future where people are free to make the personal decisions that shape their lives, futures, & families with dignity & respect. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We must protect the health, privacy, & freedom that Roe has provided for the last 50 years. Everyone should have the right to make their own decisions regardless of their circumstances & without political interference & criminalization. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Bans on abortion deepen existing inequities—causing the burden to fall disproportionately on people of color, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, & low-income individuals.  We know that when abortion is difficult to access, maternal health suffers. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Banning access to safe & legal abortions won’t stop abortions from happening. It will put lives at risk. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Public utilities should treat customers fairly—but they don’t. At the height of COVID Avangrid execs got millions & hit consumers w/wage garnishments. Now they're ignoring PURA orders to provide bill payment assistance. Thanks to @cca_ct & OCC, Avangrid is being held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

I look forward to President Biden signing this important product safety measure into law to protect children & give parents the peace of mind they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I applaud Congress for passing the Safe Sleep for Babies Act—legislation I’ve long championed to ban deadly infant inclined sleeper products. These highly dangerous products have no place on store shelves & in homes where they have already led to tragic deaths. — PolitiTweet.org

Teachers have a tremendous impact & inspire so many. This #TeacherAppreciationWeek I want to thank all the wonderful, dedicated educators across CT. Your commitment to your students is helping to foster the imagination, passion, & dreams of the next generation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Gathering & analyzing evidence will assist in prosecuting & holding accountable those complicit in these Russian atrocities. The full force of U.S. & international law must be brought to bear. — PolitiTweet.org

The Ukraine Invasion War Crimes Deterrence & Accountability Act is an important step in exposing Putin’s campaign of war crimes against innocent Ukrainians. Men, women, & children from Mariupol to Bucha have laid lifeless in the street, victims of unspeakable atrocities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress must harness the anger being expressed tonight & take action. There is no question we must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. It has never been more urgent. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Countless women tonight are feeling scared & alone, but they should know that this fight is far from over. This draft is by no means final & states like CT are stepping up to protect them. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thanks to CT’s legislature for anticipating this potential horror—SCOTUS overturning Roe & unleashing state laws like S.8 in TX. Our state will protect reproductive rights, & people who exercise them. Gov. Lamont should sign this bill—now. https://t.co/lYSdImOZzR — PolitiTweet.org

I hope these reports are nightmarish imaginings. If true, this decision would be a horrific moment inflicting a huge leap backward with incalculable costs & chaos for countless women & their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Eid Mubarak! Wishing CT’s Muslim community & all across the world celebrating a very happy, joyous Eid al-Fitr. — PolitiTweet.org

Courage is contagious. We must stand up & condemn hate like the flyers distributed in West Hartford. Now that the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act is law, we need to make the resources really count & support education & enforcement to stop this scourge. https://t.co/35CP1pf2YR — PolitiTweet.org

I spoke to the Ukrainian-American community about urgent work to match words with action—Congress approving $33 billion in aid, the President implementing Lend Lease & invoking the Defense Production Act, & the U.S. selling seized oligarch assets for funds to support Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was honored to join the Ukrainian-American community at St. Michael’s Church Easter Celebration. There I had the chance to meet Daria & Simon who recently fled Ukraine with critical help from my office & their immigration attorney, Dana Bucin. https://t.co/UVN075V4cn — PolitiTweet.org

Proud & excited to join iconic actor Danny Glover at the University of Bridgeport Commencement—an inspiring, joyful tribute to students & teachers who persevered through the pandemic. https://t.co/wpkM0XrguU — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful words from Speaker Pelosi during her Ukraine visit—speaking for so many of us—now must be matched by action. Let’s pass the $33 billion in desperately needed aid—this week. — PolitiTweet.org
