Social media platforms have failed to stop extremists from promoting & propagating violence on their platforms. Yesterday, I questioned DOJ officials about the organizing, threats, & spread of disinformation leading up to January 6. https://t.co/B9njGDD9Yh — PolitiTweet.org

Important step by @USCPSC that will help protect kids from horrific injuries & death. As two of the companies still reprehensibly refuse to notify customers & fail to install simple safety fixes, it’s clear my Sunshine in Product Safety Act is needed to put consumer safety first. — PolitiTweet.org

Living the American dream, George Chatzopoulos enabled countless others to achieve it too. As many times as I saw him—one Thanksgiving morning is a special memory—he always made my spirits soar & heart warm. I was deeply proud to be his friend. My heart is now with his family. — PolitiTweet.org

With frigid temperatures gripping Connecticut, important steps are needed to protect yourself, your neighbors, & your community. Take precautions when using heaters, & call 2-1-1 if you know anyone needing transportation or shelter.  https://t.co/fLZbxxNxOC — PolitiTweet.org

Our democracy depends on people fighting for it in times of adversity. It’s time for the Senate to protect voting rights. Let’s pass the Freedom to Vote Act & the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2006, the Voting Rights Act passed the Senate 98-0. In the years since, our democracy has been poisoned by falsehoods & misleading claims of widespread voter fraud, culminating in the Big Lie & used to justify state laws making it harder to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

11 years ago today, a gunman opened fire & took the lives of 6 innocent people in Tucson.

Hospitals don’t get days off from the pandemic, regardless of weather. That’s why today I went to Charlotte Hungerford in Torrington to visit all the doctors, nurses, administrators, maintenance workers & staff who have given & been through so much. We can’t thank you enough. https://t.co/URzSFf7agV — PolitiTweet.org

Cruise lines seem to have no shame—certainly no sense of conscience. They’re playing Russian roulette with passenger health, putting at risk countless crew & people at ports of call. They should be stopped, held accountable, & ships docked. https://t.co/9I3mKqtmMA — PolitiTweet.org

The line in East Hartford for at-home COVID tests was over a mile long this morning—yet another indication of significant demand & aggressive action needed to increase supply.

There is a direct through line from the Big Lie and the January 6 assault incited by Donald Trump, to violent extremism & domestic terrorism, to voter suppression & the overturning of elections, eventually to the destruction of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

But January 6 was not a one-off. It was not an isolated or aberrant incident. It was a symptom & a symbol of a deeper destructive violence of radical extremism, a virus of domestic terrorism that continues to infect our nation. — PolitiTweet.org
