Moving images & words at Wesleyan’s rally supporting Ukraine’s brave people. Students & faculty were so inspiring & strong in standing up & speaking out. https://t.co/USYqMyz51y — PolitiTweet.org

Great to meet with Brook Noel the owner of Salt 2.0 in Litchfield. She has found innovative & creative ways to keep her business going during this pandemic. https://t.co/Ai32Sw4lbm — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

All federally funded facilities & infrastructure must remain open, inclusive, & accessible to all. Today I joined fierce advocates & @RepJahanaHayes to push for our bipartisan resolution to reaffirm Congress' commitment to the Americans with Disabilities Act. https://t.co/7gsCSz1fbc — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During my visit to Foster Corp., CEO Larry Acquarulo told me about supply chain & workforce issues impacting this impressive plastics manufacturing company. I will continue to fight for support & solutions needed by small businesses across CT. https://t.co/vazzfszIEV — PolitiTweet.org

Civil accountability for escalating the opioid epidemic is welcome & important, but real justice means holding lawbreakers criminally accountable. DOJ must investigate if the Sacklers should also face criminal consequences for their roles in Purdue’s admitted criminal conduct. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This settlement is a significant step, but the Sacklers caused devastating real harm to real people, & then tried to use bankruptcy loopholes to avoid responsibility. I’ve introduced legislation to close these gaps & ensure victims & survivors get their day in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No amount of money will bring back loved ones lost, but these funds will help states aid victims harmed by Purdue & Sackler wrongdoing. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Biden administration can & should do more, including finalizing ghost gun ban regulations, appointing an ATF Director, & establishing an Office of Gun Violence Prevention. We’ll keep fighting for legislation but, in the meantime, this action is critical. — PolitiTweet.org

I will be fighting for passage of this bill to impose long-overdue accountability on Big Tech & to empower kids & parents online. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Along w/Congressional scrutiny this bipartisan probe will uncover TikTok’s actions that put profits over kids’ safety. This investigation underscores the urgent need for our Kids Online Safety Act, so these state AGs can hold platforms like TikTok legally&financially accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was thankful that the President spoke—movingly & importantly—about gun violence at the #SOTU. We must build on this momentum to enact background checks, bans on assault weapons & high capacity magazines, Ethan’s Law, & repeal PLCAA. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Gun violence prevention is a movement, not a moment. Proud & honored to join a fantastic, dedicated group of advocates today in DC to call for action. They have so inspired us with their courage & strength day after day, year after year. #EndGunViolence https://t.co/dwVkpMWtiy — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

During #WomensHistoryMonth we celebrate generations of women who are trailblazers & inspirations. In their honor, we must continue to support gender equity & push for reproductive freedoms, paycheck fairness, paid leave, VAWA, & so much more. https://t.co/vIzUFCC1DW — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Inspiring to hear the President powerfully push gun violence prevention—especially repeal of PLCAA’s sweetheart sweeping immunity for gun manufacturers & a ban on ghost guns. We need these laws, plus safe storage via Ethan’s Law. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

So deeply human, the President’s caring & compassion shown movingly in his speech & in his warmth afterward as he lingered to say hello to me & so many others approaching him. Even at the end of a long night, his eyes & elan burned bright. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Sincerity, decency, honesty—basic down-to-earth American values were brought home by President Biden to every American home & filled the historic House chamber. His vigor & vision made the American dream real. #SOTU — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This comprehensive bill, which I’m leading with Senator Blackburn, culminates bipartisan hearings & decades of work for me personally. I look forward to pushing for its swift passage to safeguard children online, putting them in better control of their online lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

At the #SOTU, @POTUS is issuing a call to action on the youth mental health crisis exacerbated by social media. Kids&parents must be empowered w/tools&safeguards to protect against toxic online content. My Kids Online Safety Act will do just that&hold Big Tech accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I urge Congress to heed the President’s call for more support for Ukraine, including dramatically stronger sanctions on Russia, Putin, & his corrupt oligarchs & lethal arms to bolster the brave, bold heroes of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

In our hearts tonight were the brave people of Ukraine, like the family of my Ukrainian-American guest Myron Melnyk, attending virtually. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was energized by the emphasis on cutting costs of living & inflation, with skill training to enable more Americans to fulfill jobs open now & in the future. President Biden’s rallying cry to rely on American-made goods & American workers will strike a resounding chord. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was struck & stirred by the soaring spirit & energy in this historic speech—at a moment of deep challenge & danger. The President’s promising, positive mood matched the hopes of Americans that we can surmount COVID, conquer inflation & boldly build a truly better America. #SOTU https://t.co/qnEhN8Tpdm — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For this year’s #SOTU I’m honored to virtually welcome Myron Melnyk. He is a dear friend & a powerful advocate for the CT Ukrainian-American community. As Putin continues his attack, we must stand united with Ukrainians at home & abroad. https://t.co/pIJGRbgVAx — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Last week I sat with Putnam area restaurants to hear moving stories of struggling small business leaders, describing their challenges & supporting relief from the Restaurant Revitalization fund. Congress must replenish this federal lifeline for CT's restaurants. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

SWIFT sanctions should target all Russian banks—all—not just second largest, VTB. Omitting the 1st & 3d biggest, & others, would greatly dilute their impact. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Cracking down on Putin’s personal wealth hidden around the world must include his cronies—all their children, wives, & more. We can track down & crack down on these corrupt, illicit assets gained by Putin’s kleptocracy. We should seize, not freeze those assets. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today's #WHPA vote comes at a time of unparalleled attack on equal access to abortion care. Last year alone 19 states enacted 106 restrictions—plus SCOTUS is on the precipice of revoking #Roe. The fight is far from over, I’ll never stop working to protect reproductive rights. https://t.co/JrVQ18LUPh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am very saddened to hear the news of Richard Blum’s passing. My deepest condolences go out to @SenFeinstein & her entire family during this incredibly difficult time. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

HAPPENING NOW: Access to reproductive health care is on the line like never before. I’m joining @PattyMurray, @SenSchumer, & @SenatorBaldwin to call on the Senate to #ActForAbortionAccess & move forward with #WHPA. https://t.co/RXz7XDfsT9 — PolitiTweet.org
