Restored to brilliant luster, New London’s Lighthouse Inn is an iconic gem, about to reopen thanks to commitment & caring work by owner Alwyn Christy. I was excited to visit with @NLMayorMikeP, whose enthusiastic support along with the city’s has made a big difference. https://t.co/X8BwXauG8f — PolitiTweet.org

A moving rededication in New London of the John J. McGuirk VA Community-Based Outpatient Clinic, providing vets with expanded space & services for health care—much needed & well deserved. Vets merit world class quality medicine close to their homes—as this facility should afford. https://t.co/cUQmeQ5Uz6 — PolitiTweet.org

Forensic science—collecting, preserving & analyzing complex evidence—is critical to effective prosecution & public safety. I fought for this significant grant to provide such expertise, after listening to police & knowing its importance from my own law enforcement experience. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m proud to support CT police & law enforcement with state of the art forensic science training & skills through a $120,000 federal grant to UNH’s @LeeForensicInst. Policing is a profession, deserving advanced know how. https://t.co/bi87p8YW9L — PolitiTweet.org

Imposing additional pressure on families already stretched for housing, food, medicine, & other essential costs, utilities’ heartless debt collection should have been halted. Consumers deserve better—such actions must be stopped now & during future emergencies. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Even as the pandemic spread & unemployment skyrocketed, documents show Eversource & Avangrid continued debt collections against already struggling families. Today I joined @ClaireColemanCT in a letter urging these utilities to do the right thing—stop ongoing debt collections. https://t.co/ref8cAZL8o — PolitiTweet.org

New Haven’s @AtticusCafe is a star of community spirit & job creation. Named Family-Owned Small Business of the Year by @SBA_Connecticut, its East Rock & Chapel Street locations are a great stop for a book & a bite to eat. https://t.co/HXYrLp33EE — PolitiTweet.org

First responders, especially police & fire services, need & deserve this support. Newington earned it! — PolitiTweet.org

Newington’s new Emergency Operations Center—to be built with $1 million in federal funds we fought for—will enable the town to better address weather & public safety challenges, & coordinate with state emergency operations. https://t.co/TWwxpgdcoX — PolitiTweet.org

Urgent action is needed. It’s time for Congress to pass my & @MarshaBlackburn’s bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Appalling & outrageous—children as young as 9 y/o trapped in bubbles of eating disorder content on Instagram. Despite promises to parents, Facebook & its Big Tech peers have failed kids & are unwilling to clean up their act.   https://t.co/4U4xyJIwt1 — PolitiTweet.org

Invoking the Defense Production Act is an urgently vital step to meet Ukraine’s need for military aid as our & allies’ arms stocks are depleted. The industry must be mandated to make missiles, artillery, drones, air defense batteries, helicopters & more at lowest reasonable cost. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join Mayor Stewart in New Britain to celebrate the Borinqueneers—Puerto Rican patriots, honored with a Congressional Gold Medal that I championed in 2014. These brave, fierce veterans fought for our nation & richly deserved this recognition. https://t.co/KoRVI8QQRF — PolitiTweet.org

Middletown’s Oddfellows Playhouse—a magnificent program of youth performance & culture—is receiving $48,000 in federal funding that we helped secure for a new van. Transportation is vital for the kids to reach the theater & return to their homes. It will have a big impact. https://t.co/F0W1eJf9zq — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans & Democrats agree, Steve Dettelbach is a phenomenal candidate to lead ATF. He has a proven track record as a dedicated career prosecutor who understands the devastating reality of gun violence & will take meaningful action to stop its harms. https://t.co/esEqz4a6if — PolitiTweet.org
