The Supreme Court needs to do its job & stop shirking its duty by hearing cases & issuing signed opinions instead of hiding behind the shadow docket. Judge Jackson will have the chance to be part of a shift towards transparency on the Court. https://t.co/KH0QRDHdxJ — PolitiTweet.org

Today Judge Jackson & I discussed our shared admiration of New Haven native Judge Constance Baker Motley—a civil rights trailblazer & legal hero. Just like Judge Jackson, Constance Baker Motley serves as an incredible inspiration for so many. https://t.co/aB187SGeRk — PolitiTweet.org

Congress should follow CT’s lead & provide additional support to families across the country by taking immediate action to suspend the federal gas tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT residents & businesses continue to feel the pain at the pump & are struggling to make ends meet as a result of Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. I applaud @GovNedLamont & CT General Assembly for taking swift action by temporarily suspending CT’s 25 cent excise tax on gas. — PolitiTweet.org

12 yrs ago today Dems signed the Affordable Care Act into law—helping millions&saving lives. Since then we’ve fought tooth&nail to fend off GOP’s attacks on Americans’ health care. I'll keep working to ensure this critical coverage is available to all who need it #ACAHereToStay — PolitiTweet.org

We've lost a remarkable, brilliant trailblazer. Madeleine Albright was an accomplished diplomat, a true champion for human rights, & an unwavering defender of democracy. There is no question her legacy will live on & continue to inspire generations to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Stamos leaves a magnificent, enduring legacy— countless students, community members, fellow educators, &, of course, his wonderful family whose lives he touched w/his wisdom, generosity, & grace. We should celebrate his life of service & caring. https://t.co/M7CVNtF8AD — PolitiTweet.org

With Judge Jackson on the bench, the Supreme Court will look more like America, but also think more like America. It was an honor & privilege to ask a nominee with such persuasive intellect, personal charm, & varied professional background questions about her judicial record. https://t.co/v8vJhjgKFb — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For Judge Jackson “equal justice under law” is a reality, not just an ideal. Before our feeds are flooded with imagined grievances & more than a few straw men, listen to Jackson’s own words, & hear her commitment to “ensure liberty & justice for all.” https://t.co/2bLqSoVJ6h — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Historic is a word often overused in Congress, but today truly merits it. Judge Jackson will bring to the Court extraordinary intellect & character as well as diverse personal & professional experience. She helps assure that #SCOTUS looks like America—& thinks more like America. https://t.co/bKTCBGxfLZ — PolitiTweet.org

Keep this in mind as we start the #SCOTUS nomination hearing—From law enforcement to AGs, Judge Jackson has broad bipartisan support. Her fair, evenhanded understanding of the Constitution is deeply informed by her appreciation of how the law impacts real people's lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During my meeting with Judge Jackson I was so impressed by her genuine nature & complete commitment to fair, impartial justice. As we begin her nomination hearing, I’m excited for the American people to see that she is exactly what SCOTUS & our country needs right now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Powerful meeting with Ukrainian & Polish American communities yesterday—resolving together that we’ll stand strong for more humanitarian & military support. It’s a national security & moral imperative. https://t.co/zXCfChdirl — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Jackson will make the Supreme Court look more like America, but she may also make the Court think more like America. Her persuasive prowess, powerful intellect, emotional intelligence, & lived reality will be impactful. — PolitiTweet.org

Simsbury’s Vigil For Peace In Ukraine brought together eloquent faith leaders of all denominations, & all of us praying for an end to Russia’s savage, barbaric invasion, slaughtering so many innocents. Many warm hearts on a chilly first day of Spring. https://t.co/JHtSdnpLrt — PolitiTweet.org

Moving ceremony unveiling a memorial to 400 Irish immigrants who built the canal critical to bypassing the rapids on the CT river at Suffield to Windsor Locks. Special thanks to The AOH & Chris Krevick for this beautiful tribute to courageous immigrants. https://t.co/tBNmn57UAv — PolitiTweet.org

My hope for tomorrow's proceedings is that sideshows & distractions are sidetracked. The Judiciary Committee has a historic obligation & opportunity: Match Judge Jackson’s incredible qualifications with thoughtful, honest hearings that show the nation our best. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Starting tomorrow, at historic hearings for Judge Jackson’s SCOTUS nomination, the nation will see a superb intellect & skilled legal expert, but equally important, someone with depth, warmth & caring who sees the impact of law on real people's lives. — PolitiTweet.org

After decades of mergers, the airline industry is dominated by a handful of giants, leaving consumers paying the price. Encouraging competition—not consolidation—is critical for a robust, responsive airline industry. DOT & DOJ should scrutinize the recent Spirit/Frontier deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Car dealers can—& do—resell vehicles w/open recalls. After years of demanding action, GM’s new platform will finally put stopgaps in place to make the resale market safer. To ensure others follow suit, we need to pass my Used Car Safety Recall Repair Act. https://t.co/yFw0TXB4iL — PolitiTweet.org
