For guys like me in front of his camera, Bob was not only the consummate pro, but a wonderful friend of depth&warmth. He brightened our day no matter how tough the story&he illuminated it w/a penetrating insightful eye. My thoughts&heart are w/his family. https://t.co/UrDDkoa0YT — PolitiTweet.org

The NCAA isn’t putting players first. That needs to change. Tune in NOW for a panel conversation w/@SenBooker, Ramogi Huma, @Brittcollens22, @TimNevius & myself on the madness of the college sports system, the need to protect athletes & the path to reform. https://t.co/gRpvPZGDo1 — PolitiTweet.org

Expanded US military support, particularly aerial defense, is more vital than ever, plus humanitarian aid & tightened economic sanctions. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Welcome as real peace would be, there’s every reason to disbelieve & discount Putin’s head fakes & false pauses. Military analysis indicates he needs to resupply & regroup his forces—preparing for brutal new assaults. https://t.co/dp8wdvaift — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Survivors of Nassar’s unconscionable actions are demanding accountability for those at DOJ & the FBI who ignored reports of their abuse. @JerryMoran & I agree, & that’s why we’ve written a letter calling for a new review of all the info in DOJ’s possession to see what was missed. https://t.co/tpCSHDMYXA — PolitiTweet.org

Passengers & airline crews should be confident that the cabin air they breathe is free from harmful smoke, fumes, & other contaminants. My Cabin Air Safety Act would put in place commonsense monitoring tools, training, & reporting to ensure people are protected from toxic air. https://t.co/s21eYz4ZXz — PolitiTweet.org

Significant ethics reform at the Supreme Court is needed urgently. Today I join members of the Senate & House to demand Justice Thomas provide an explanation about his failure to recuse himself & call on Chief Justice Roberts to create binding, enforceable ethics rules. https://t.co/1Stdq3w1ev — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Having visited Ukrainian refugees at the Polish border, I’m with Joe Biden: He owes no one an apology for his vehement moral outrage about this vile tyrant. The heartbreaking faces & voices of those women & children shook him—as they did me—& should move the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A good time for a great cause! Music lovers in New Britain at “Blues for Ukraine” were rocking at the Pulaski Democratic Club to benefit Ukrainian refugees—like I saw at the border crossing—women & children fleeing Putin’s horror. https://t.co/KY01yzGoGS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Huge turnout, happy exuberance—the Mystic parade joyfully celebrated all things Irish & all of us back together again. Thanks to hard working organizers who made it big & beautiful, as ever. https://t.co/6zLAezBavN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Supreme Court faces a legitimacy crisis deepened & widened by shocking revelations about Ginni Thomas’ texts. Congress should impose a Code of Ethics on this court, the only federal court without one. Stop the downward slide & shredding of credibility & trust. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Absolutely necessary: Thomas must recuse himself from future cases involving the Jan 6 Committee, or the 2020/2024 elections. He must justify his refusal to recuse himself from previous decisions involving a clear conflict of interest. The nation deserves it, as a starting step. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No more business as usual, no return to normalcy or preexisting relations is possible with this brutal butcher. Putin is a war criminal & must be a pariah—& ultimately held accountable morally if not legally. https://t.co/VB4ZywCwSm — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Ultimately, we must free ourselves & allies from dependence on oil & gas from murderous tyrants like Putin. Real energy independence means increasing reliance on renewables like wind & solar. It’s the enduring, effective solution to enhance & protect both the climate & democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Stopping ALL Russian banks from access to the world financial system—halting Putin’s revenue from oil & gas sales, which fund his insidious slaughtering war machine—would be instantly impactful. My bipartisan resolution w/Sen Blackburn urges it immediately.https://t.co/3yVqSRwVTK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Strong support for Ukraine in Brookfield today at an inspiring community gathering. So moving to hear & see CT rallying around this critical cause of conscience & national security. Thanks to the organizers! https://t.co/B7LwituiI6 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

New Haven’s police & firefighters played an exciting, competitive game of hockey today in the Chief’s Cup. Despite a fierce rivalry on the ice, off it they come together to serve our community. Great to cheer them on & show support. Thank you for your service. https://t.co/nvzby9ePCR — PolitiTweet.org

Thrilling to march in Meriden’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade & see @SecCardona, the Meriden AOH Person of the Year, among the spectators with his family. An inspiring role model remembering his roots. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Waterbury’s Palace Theater today celebrated 100 years of magnificent cultural joy & magic—a precious crown jewel for CT & America. Federal funds helped it survive, but the community will make it thrive. https://t.co/av5N4LRhNE — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Supreme Court has reversed decades of progress. It’s time to stop pretending that conservative judges/justices aren’t activists. Case in point, SCOTUS gutting protections in the Voting Rights Act. https://t.co/ndIYEOWHtM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can’t accept gun violence as a normal part of our lives. Thanks to the efforts of amazing groups like @MUAVCT, communities are working at the local level to stop the cycle of trauma & violence. This $300,000 federal grant will help to move this mission forward. https://t.co/ace5X77hiM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No question that recusal by Justice Thomas is absolutely essential going forward in any case involving the January 6 committee’s investigation & the 2024 presidential election if Trump runs again. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Why didn’t Justice Thomas recuse himself in the Trump records case in light of Ginni Thomas’ apparent active involvement? The nation deserves an explanation & the Supreme Court needs a Code of Ethics. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No question we need a Supreme Court Code of Ethics—now. https://t.co/ufujI6VvrV — PolitiTweet.org

Past time for Congress to protect individuals&innovators from Big Tech’s abuses as Europe is doing in its Digital Markets Act—stopping social media&app store behemoths from confining consumers&knee capping competitors. Proposed reforms are on the Senate floor, ready for votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I continue to call on the administration to enable more of our at-risk Afghan allies to escape the Taliban. They helped Americans, our troops & diplomats, & they remain under dire threat from the Taliban. We must continue to bring them to safety as quickly as possible. 4/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Last year, 26 million refugees were displaced from areas as diverse as Syria, Venezuela, Afghanistan, South Sudan, & Myanmar. There remains more to be done to help refugees across the globe. 3/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Having recently visited the Poland/Ukraine border, I saw women & children fleeing the horror & terror that Putin has caused. I continue to support increased humanitarian aid & provision of lethal arms to end this conflict as quickly as possible. 2/4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I applaud President Biden’s announcement that the US will welcome 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. This is a positive step to address the humanitarian catastrophe stemming from Putin’s war. 1/4  https://t.co/7sFLLMLOtX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thrilled that the Senate has passed @SenDuckworth, @senrobportman, & my Safe Cribs Act. This simple, but lifesaving legislation will prevent more needless tragedies & protect infants by keeping dangerous, deadly crib bumpers off the market.https://t.co/vXF1KhKpmk — PolitiTweet.org
