Visiting our embassy here in Poland, I’m impressed with how our skilled Ambassador Mark Brzezinski is working ably to assure that we & our NATO allies are solidly united in support of Ukraine. Our standing strong together is Putin’s worst nightmare. https://t.co/xgqURgyR0E — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, UConn basketball is recognized as a national leader. Congrats Storrs, designated as the number 2 (should have been number one) best cities for college basketball. #BleedBlue https://t.co/reOMbKTTF6 — PolitiTweet.org

We must stop big oil companies from profiteering & exploiting Putin’s invasion to rake in record profits—forcing consumers to pay the price. The Big Oil Windfall Profits Tax will clamp down on this despicable price gouging & put money back in people's pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

LIVE NOW: I join @accountabletech’s roundtable with @gkaron_, @zamaan_qureshi, @sewpheeyuh, Emma Lembke, & Chloe Shrager to hear from young people about social media’s harms & the impact these platforms have on #TeenMentalHealth. https://t.co/nr1YiByRCa — PolitiTweet.org

In response to @SenMarkey & my letter, Tesla again deflected & evaded. With its troubling safety track record & deadly crashes, Tesla cannot continue to do business as usual.  https://t.co/l2vu5q52CD — PolitiTweet.org

This funding to support our security partners & relocate displaced refugees sends an unequivocal message that the U.S. is here to help. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m also proud of this bill’s historic effort to assist our allies & partners in Ukraine. This legislation will provide vital funding to strengthen security & humanitarian efforts as Putin & Russia continue their unprovoked attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As Chair of the Subcommittee on Consumer Protection & as author of the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act, I fought for provisions to crack down on Big Tobacco’s efforts to supply children w/unregulated synthetic nicotine products & to combat hate crimes w/new grant programs & funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The omnibus will invest in our skilled manufacturing workforce, bolster mental health & substance abuse resources, improve VA services for our nation’s veterans, & support America’s middle class & small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This bipartisan omnibus bill addresses some of our biggest challenges. I’m proud to have fought for measures that will benefit our state—helping people in real ways. Countless critical programs will receive essential funding & billions of dollars will soon be headed CT’s way. — PolitiTweet.org

Doctors & nurses are seeing more asthma, heart disease, lung disease, & cancer from air pollution. We must do more to invest in clean, renewable sources of energy & other climate solutions to ensure our communities are healthier & safer. #ClimateIsHealth — PolitiTweet.org

Great news for CT residents & businesses—Tweed & Avelo are adding additional destinations with non-stop flights to Chicago, Raleigh, & Baltimore/DC. This is a vote of confidence in Tweed & the future of our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was so deeply impressed by Judge Jackson—not just her intellect & expertise as a judge & lawyer, but her depth & warmth as a human being. She understands the real world impact of judicial decisions on people & will bring that perspective to the Supreme Court. https://t.co/uWdezR4W66 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There are commonsense steps to stop spiraling gas prices. Let’s suspend the federal gas tax, break free of our oil dependence & invest in clean energy. Also, as I urged the FTC chair, investigate price gouging & profiteering. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Banning Russian oil is absolutely the right step, as I’ve repeatedly said. But let’s be clear about who’s to blame for spiraling gas prices—Putin. His craven, barbaric invasion is a war of choice, unprovoked & unnecessary, that has disrupted world markets. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This morning I have the true honor of meeting with Judge Jackson. I look forward to speaking with her about her exceptional record as a dynamic, brilliant jurist & discussing her superb qualifications to serve on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As President Zelenskyy requested, American companies still doing business in Russia & funding Putin’s invasion should stop—now. American companies should be held accountable by consumers & others if they continue. Naming & shaming is a good start. https://t.co/2uKmwWOBjB — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to stand with members of CT’s Ukrainian-American community, including the Ukrainian Self Reliance Federal Credit Union to help support those in Ukraine & the refugees who have fled. https://t.co/ssbeflNuGd — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In New Haven yesterday, the historic Green was filled with hundreds standing with Ukraine—singing, speaking out, & supporting stronger American action. Just as Americans were all Berliners almost 60 years ago, we are all Ukrainians today. https://t.co/qJlsUMyMrU — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thanks to the @GoYardGoats & SMSA for honoring the life & legacy of a legend of the game—Roberto Clemente. Students from SMSA will follow Clemente’s commitment to public service by volunteering 21 hours to help their community. https://t.co/9jWN0JVHHF — PolitiTweet.org

In New Britain’s Little Poland, thank you to the Belvedere Restaurant & owner Ela Konferowicz for an amazing event supporting Ukrainian freedom fighters & Maidan United. Wonderful people, spectacular food, & powerful spirit. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Through great ingenuity & sheer grit—& some federal COVID aid—Kinsmen Brewing has survived tough times. I’m fighting to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization program to support CT’s incredible craft brewers. https://t.co/OdYYFvHGkb — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to visit A.M. Bagel in Derby, where Myron & Alexis Seniw are supporting the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee with sales from their delicious bagels. Lines around the block. https://t.co/rIOo6gDG14 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Ukraine needs more aircraft for its pilots, more weapons & ammunition for its fighters, more humanitarian assistance for civilians under siege, more air defense to stop the bombs & missiles, & more. We should provide them all—now, with bipartisan action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Impersonal as Zoom may seem, President Zelensky’s eloquent appeal to American values & security felt intensely personal—his passion & courage are palpable. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For all on the call, this moment was deeply & uniquely moving & emotional. So eloquent, compelling, & composed—a profile in courage. A heroic, inspiring historic figure. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No doubt after this call: Stronger sanctions are vital, including an embargo on Russian oil & gas. Boycott all Russian products & seize cronies’ assets. Isolate as a pariah. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Zelensky has challenged us—a call for world support at this critical hour, because Ukraine is fighting for all our values not just their existence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Deeply moving plea by President Zelensky on this morning’s call for desperately needed American arms support & stronger economic sanctions. — PolitiTweet.org
