Justice Breyer’s service has been unsurpassed in distinction as a pragmatic progressive—ever an optimist, but grounded firmly in the real-life consequences of the Court’s decisions. He is a brilliant scholar&thinker who has sought practical, workable solutions in a divided Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Childcare in our state is being financially squeezed in a COVID vice. Yesterday I joined providers at The School For Young Children in West Hartford to call for federal support for additional COVID testing supplies, PPE, & assistance to help families pay for childcare. https://t.co/aF1vslc3HR — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve long advocated sanctions against Putin targeting his personal fortune—vast secret assets gained by corruptly exploiting his own people. Exposing them would be a revelation. Freezing them would hit Putin where it hurts. Strong deterrence&continued negotiations are needed now. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I agree w/Biden—no US troops to Ukraine—but my trip there convinces me we need strong deterrent action, NOW. (Powerful economic sanctions—beginning before any invasion—along w/heightened arms airlifts&explicit allied unity on stopping energy flow.) Our window is tightening. — PolitiTweet.org

Congrats to Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron (HMH) 461 on becoming the @USMC’s first CH-53K squadron. This game changer from @Sikorsky will supply & support forward-deployed Marines for years to come. https://t.co/rz7yzcdkG9 — PolitiTweet.org

Removing household hazards like mold, mildew, pests, radon, & lead will help to keep families safer & minimize childhood ailments like asthma. I was grateful to be in New Haven today to announce a federal grant to help get rid of these dangers. https://t.co/U8UZhE15sn — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must urgently meet this moment in the privacy crisis by passing a comprehensive law that provides the privacy protections that Americans need & deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ve long raised alarm over Google’s location data deceptions. Big Tech’s lies must stop. The stunning allegations in this bipartisan suit show, yet again, that tech companies continue to mislead, deceive, & prioritize profits over protecting user privacy. https://t.co/Mnm93KsGWJ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Strong export controls that hit hard on Putin’s economy—no semiconductors, for example—must begin NOW, not after invasion. Economic sanctions, export controls, arms lifts, & allied unity are needed to increase Russian costs & back Putin down. https://t.co/G8A23XMJ9Q — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Enabling at-risk Afghan allies to escape is a moral imperative. They put their lives on the line to protect Americans, with the promise we’d protect them. https://t.co/sr7ELaghZK — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations! You & Mike are true heroes who are so deeply deserving of this honor. We will keep fighting to pass Ethan’s Law. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Wonderful spirit at test distribution sponsored by Cathedral of Praise in Bridgeport—making families & community safer together. Thank you! https://t.co/blsiKJIzer — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Putin’s next step could be invasion, or coup, or both—using saboteurs, or armed forces, or both. As we heard during our trip & reported British intel supports, his m.o. is coercion&force. Like any bully, he must be convinced the consequences&costs will be massive&prohibitive. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

What we saw in Ukraine last week was real time hybrid war combining cyberattack, military action, & misinformation, designed to degrade Ukraine’s present government & bring back Ukraine to Russian dominance. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

These reports leave no doubt: deterrence is urgent. Starting strong economic sanctions & smart, effective arms airlifts, NOW. Clear unity with allies, especially Germany explicitly saying it will end big natural gas buys, NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Reported British intel confirms one of the chief concerns raised during our bipartisan Ukraine visit—a Russian puppet takeover to support Putin’s ongoing aggression. Destabilizing, dividing, & demoralizing the Ukrainian government & people are key tactics in Putin’s playbook. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT can lead all states in protecting #RoeVWade’s rights & reproductive freedoms—as it forms a special legislative caucus to stand strong with action. https://t.co/cbHL0g3ogw — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No question, Congress must pass a Code of Conduct for the Supreme Court. I’ve advocated it for years, with mandates for financial disclosure & recusal where the Court’s impartiality & credibility are undermined. https://t.co/R8ZQxHkrnN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Lines of cars—even in the bitter cold—receiving tests here at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. Great to join dedicated workers from Bridgeport’s Health Department in distributing these tests that enable people to get back to work & school safely. https://t.co/eQtreLuiYT — PolitiTweet.org

Rail will be revolutionized in the Northeast Corridor with billions in federal infrastructure funding. Safety, reliability, speed, & comfort, all will be hugely enhanced—engendering jobs & economic expansion. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It's a break the glass moment, not a drill, in the fight for reproductive freedoms. With #RoeVWade in mortal danger, there’s no excuse for silence or complacency. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

On this dark 49th anniversary, #RoeVWade is hanging by a thread—likely to be overturned by SCOTUS & under assault by state legislatures. Passing WHPA is absolutely vital. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As the Sport & Medical Sciences Academy community continues to grieve last week’s tragic loss, I met with Superintendent Rodriguez, Principal Giuliano, & Mayor Bronin to learn more about how federal resources can assist schools in dealing with drug use & mental health services. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This morning I stopped by Camp Hartell where the @CTNationalGuard are working hard to distribute COVID tests & PPE to nursing homes. This equipment is critical to helping residents & staff stay safe. https://t.co/G8ZCmP9Wn7 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Talking rather than attacking is a promising result from US-Russian meeting, but we are far from being in the clear. Continued strong bipartisan support—in arms & economic sanctions, NOW—is critical to deter Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

A clear message must be sent—Russia will pay costs, & there will be consequences. This legislation will provide necessary military equipment for the people of Ukraine as they defend their sovereignty & livelihoods with courage & strength. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As Putin seeks to divide, demoralize & degrade democracies with his hybrid war of cyber, military action & misinformation, the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act expands our ability to provide Ukrainian people w/the tools & resources necessary to deter & resist any attack. — PolitiTweet.org
