Predatory algorithms can spark&exacerbate mental health struggles—causing a search for a diet plan to lead vulnerable users down rabbit holes to dangerous eating disorder content. By passing my Kids Online Safety Act Congress can give young people the tools to stop these spirals. — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful to meet with @SenatorMarkDaly today to talk about the long standing USA-Ireland friendship & the importance of recommitting to the Good Friday Agreement & Peace Process. https://t.co/P6vZ2oYhHq — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

#VAWA is an essential pillar in our fight against domestic violence & sexual assault that I have long worked to have reauthorized. Thrilled to see this recommitment become a reality so prevention efforts can increase & survivors can continue to access lifesaving services. — PolitiTweet.org

Tragedy struck 1 yr ago when a hate-fueled gunman killed 8 people, including 6 Asian women, in the Atlanta area. My thoughts are still with the victims & their loved ones. We must keep working to #StopAsianHate & help communities heal. #RememberingMarch16 https://t.co/n4pcrOHhAQ — PolitiTweet.org

Even without a no fly zone, an airlift of humanitarian aid makes compelling sense. Russian refusal to permit it would be an ultimate act of inhumanity—condemned by the whole world, especially if done by neutral countries. https://t.co/tvSdySZ8ki — PolitiTweet.org

I am so happy for Daniela, but saddened for CT. Her reporting has brought important changes, improving the lives of our residents & holding public officials accountable. Best wishes in your future endeavors. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing was crystal clear on my trip to Poland last weekend, we need to urgently expand assistance to Ukraine. Ukrainian freedom fighters are battling for their country’s survival & can defeat Putin’s invasion if they have a fair fight, focusing especially on air defense. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Zelenskyy’s speech was deeply impassioned & impactful. He is a profile in courage. The people of Ukraine need our support now more than ever. Congress must respond to this plea w/action. We need to provide additional military&humanitarian aid to counter Putin’s attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Paying an 18.4 cents federal levy adds insult to injury on already sky high charges at the pump. Rising gasoline prices deeply burden individual lives & livelihoods every day, so both federal & state action is needed right away. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Consumers deserve immediate relief from soaring gas prices, including a break from federal & state taxes. I support state tax cuts commendably proposed by @GovNedLamont & legislators, & call again for suspension of the federal tax. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Respond to Zelenskyy’s plea today with action, not just more words—more anti tank & anti aircraft missiles, anti air batteries, drones, planes, & more to fight Russia’s bombing reign of terror. Every day matters, as Ukraine bravely struggles for survival. Act now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My trip to Poland last weekend confirmed the urgency of hugely expanded air defense aid. Sens. Portman, Wicker, & I urged bipartisan support last night on the Senate floor. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Zelenskyy’s speech this morning must spur more support for Ukraine’s air defense. Ukrainian freedom fighters can defeat Putin’s savage invasion if they have a fair fight on the ground, with protection from punishing, pummeling Russian attacks from the skies. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Fantastic to meet with @TreasurerWooden & @ChrisMurphyCT today to talk about the implementation of CT’s baby bonds program & what more we can do on the federal level to get the national baby bonds bill across the finish line. https://t.co/b0OiSqqdmE — PolitiTweet.org

#PaycheckFairness is a critical part of the solution, but Congress must also take action to support paid sick days, paid leave, affordable childcare, & raising the minimum wage to help close the #WageGap. 3 — PolitiTweet.org

Women deserve to be valued & paid the same as their male counterparts—& given an equal chance at economic security & advancement. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today marks #EqualPay Day—or the date in the new year when women overall finally earn what men overall made last year alone. The #WageGap is a consequence of sexism, racism, & classism & how our country systematically devalues the labor of women—especially women of color. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

As their assets are seized around the world, these ill-gotten profits can be used to support Ukrainian freedom fighters. I’m proud to join @SenWhitehouse, @LindseyGrahamSC, & @SenatorWicker in this effort. The people of Ukraine need our support now more than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Asset Seizure for Ukraine Reconstruction Act cracks down on the chief beneficiaries/enablers of Putin’s cruel, corrupt kleptocracy as he savagely invades Ukraine. We should seize their super yachts, jets, mansions, penthouses & other luxury possessions.https://t.co/kX0zQLElOG — PolitiTweet.org

The bombing just miles from Poland’s border yesterday confirms how close Putin is coming to Poland & NATO. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our meeting with Poland’s defense minister yielded a clear message: we are unshakably united in strong support for Ukraine—especially in bolstering its air defense against Putin’s merciless onslaught. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Massive Russian bombing 15 miles from the border shook & shocked Poland this morning—palpable tremors felt by those at the Młyny border crossing we visited & elsewhere. Angry—Poles feel closeness of Putin’s war as he strikes western Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Honored to join @WCKitchen to help serve refugees at the reception center near the Ukrainian border—easing misery & satiating hunger. @chefjoseandres & his team are heroes with hearty, wholesome food, aiding those who need this comfort the most. https://t.co/d4iWHacm9Z — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m hearing gut-wrenching stories at the Poland/Ukraine border. Women & children fleeing Russian bombs that leave death & destruction in their wake. “Nowhere is safe,” a weeping mother told me. Terror & grief are in their faces & voices. https://t.co/Bf9OwsIAJG — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Women & children fleeing in fear—telling us of Russian bombs earlier this morning, just 15 miles from the Poland-Ukraine border crossing. At least 35 were killed, many more injured, destroyed homes & hope. https://t.co/rVThQ3xMsJ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud & excited to have dinner on base in Rzeszów with some of CT’s heroes—first lieutenants of the 82nd Airborne from our great state serving a critical mission near Poland’s border with Ukraine. Thanks to their families too. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Amazingly important&impressive service by the Army’s 82nd Airborne in Rzeszów near the Poland-Ukraine border—who are standing ready to defend our NATO allies while assisting refugees&Ukraine in its fight for freedom in the face of Russia’s invasion. All Americans should be proud. https://t.co/Dkwiiwh6qr — PolitiTweet.org
