I’m relieved that Medicare patients will be able to have their at-home COVID-19 tests covered, as I’ve strongly called for. I urge CMS to immediately implement this coverage & ensure all Medicare recipients have ample, free access to this critical tool in curbing the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

I will continue to lead this strongly bipartisan effort with Senator @MarshaBlackburn, Chair @SenatorDurbin, & my colleagues. Today’s passage by the Judiciary Committee marks another significant step toward full Senate consideration & signing of this important measure into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Despite self-interested opposition, our bipartisan success reflects the American public’s view that the online app market is exploited by monopolistic gatekeepers—& needs reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Breaking Apple & Google’s ironclad grip on the multi-billion dollar app market will stop their predatory fees on consumers & barriers to start ups & rivals. The Open App Markets Act will lower charges & spur innovation while preserving privacy & security. https://t.co/2fWHcMmjK0 — PolitiTweet.org

My bill with @JoaquinCastrotx would do just that—allow victims of Trump’s barbaric family separation policy to receive legal status & a pathway to citizenship. We introduced our Families Belong Together Act to ensure they can rebuild their lives in safety. — PolitiTweet.org

We must do right by our vets & provide treatment to those suffering from toxic exposure related illnesses.

LIVE: Scammers are reprehensibly using the pandemic to profit at the expense of Americans trying to stay safe&healthy. At today’s hearing I look forward to discussing with the FTC&witnesses tough reforms to protect consumers from fraud&price gouging. https://t.co/DdfNsKAOb4 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Proud to stand yesterday with these fierce advocates. I join their call to evacuate & resettle all our at-risk Afghan allies. The U.S. gov’t must honor our commitment & get these individuals & their families to safety—there is no time to waste. https://t.co/ul77zW5xMA — PolitiTweet.org

Today is a devastating anniversary, Ethan Song has been gone four years. In his honor, I will continue to fight for the safe storage of firearms to #KeepKidsSafe. By passing Ethan’s Law we can save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of these horrifying images go unidentified & unreported by the tech platforms that host them because there are so few consequences when these companies look the other way. That ends with the #EarnItAct. 4 — PolitiTweet.org

The internet is infested with stomach-churning images of children who have been brutally assaulted & exploited, & who are haunted by a lifetime of pain after these photographs & videos are circulated online. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

THREAD: The #EarnItAct is very simply about whether tech companies should be held responsible for their complicity in the sexual abuse & exploitation of children when they refuse to report or remove images of these crimes hosted on their platforms. 1/ https://t.co/INUCbefLW4 — PolitiTweet.org

The Coast Guard will be hard at work, before & during the upcoming winter storm, making sure commercial commerce & fishermen, & all on the shore, are safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Winter weather freezing our waterways clogs up commerce & prevents heating oil from making it to homes. Luckily we have the @USCG_Tri_State & their fleet to help break the ice & keep things afloat. Thrilled to join their crew today for one of their ice breaking missions. https://t.co/MEK715GtpF — PolitiTweet.org

My father was one of the lucky few to escape Nazi Germany, but 6 million Jews—& millions of other victims—faced deadly horrors.

Vanessa Avery is a proven prosecutor—tough & fair—who has deep roots in her community & a lifetime of service. A champion & fighter for CT’s people w/broad trial experience & solid, good judgement, she’ll follow the facts & law to deter & punish wrongdoers & fight discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

The credibility of the Court has never been more threatened & its independence & authority more at risk. I look forward to a swift confirmation process. — PolitiTweet.org
