Expanded testing—especially through at home options—is essential to stopping COVID & its variants so we can return to normal. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m calling for innovative use of the Defense Production Act to manufacture & distribute billions of at home COVID tests. President Biden’s announcement is a good start, but public health experts say far more than 500 million tests are needed urgently. https://t.co/KWwhPTW59M — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll continue fighting for airline passenger fairness—as I demanded in our recent Commerce Committee hearing & my letter. Refunds, rescheduled flights, full credits, & more. Consumers need protective scrutiny & action. https://t.co/qTM0vD3c5T — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As I demanded in my recent letter to airlines, these massive cancellations require immediate refunds—or rescheduled flights that give consumers their full money’s worth, or real credits. Their recent history provides scant assurance they’ll do the right thing voluntarily. — PolitiTweet.org

May the peace & joy of the holidays be with you today & throughout the new year. From my family to yours: Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays. — PolitiTweet.org

I pressed NHTSA Administrator nominee Cliff for a timeline to conclude the investigations into Tesla, including these deeply distracting, dangerous video games. Although he ducked the question, I’ll continue to ask for an answer before he’s confirmed. https://t.co/Hzt4lit4to — PolitiTweet.org

Our @CTNationalGuard & other CT servicemembers embody our nation’s finest. Your dedication to the security of our country is a testament to each of you. As you defend our nation against adversaries or stand ready here at home, you’ve answered the call to duty & make us all proud. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As we enter into this holiday week, I would like to thank all the CT servicemembers & their families for your sacrifices & wish you all a safe, healthy, & happy holiday season. — PolitiTweet.org

This welcome move by DOJ ensures the health & safety of non-violent, medically at-risk individuals already in home confinement who are successfully reintegrating into their communities, reuniting with family & re-entering the workforce. — PolitiTweet.org

Please remember you are not alone. If you or a loved one is in need of support @800273TALK’s counselors are available 24/7/365 at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). — PolitiTweet.org

Google & Bing should be helping to prevent suicide, not enable it. They are failing a moral responsibility that I encourage them to follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We are in the midst of a mental health crisis & yet Google & Bing have done little to address websites like the one @nytimes exposed, which is linked to dozens of suicides. I wrote to Google & Bing urging them to steer people away from this dangerous site. https://t.co/daI8iZKPBz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A harrowing, heartbreaking read. On a larger scale, this WSJ piece shows what my staff&I saw time&again in our own tests. TikTok&other Big Tech apps are pushing kids into dark, dangerous spirals w/little regard for their safety&wellbeing. Congress must act—w/bipartisan urgency. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Now that they have targets on their backs, we must honor our commitment to enable their escape from death & torture. Our at-risk Afghan allies deserve no less. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For two decades, Afghan men & women put their lives on the line to serve the U.S. mission as translators, guards, civil servants, & humanitarian workers. In moments of danger & crisis, they were there for us. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The U.S. has a moral imperative to help at-risk Afghan allies now in mortal danger because they aided our mission. I’m proud to introduce the Honor Our Commitment Act to establish a clear, consistent, compassionate strategy for their evacuation & resettlement. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Making threats of gun violence in our schools should never be a prank or joke. TikTok must uphold the claims it made to our Consumer Protection subcommittee that it is committed to stopping destructive challenges & threats. https://t.co/DBeFQCYDaI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I applaud Chair @linakhanFTC for committing to support a rulemaking strengthening consumer privacy. The FTC must swiftly advance this essential rulemaking & give power back to consumers. https://t.co/zcHUoikEpK — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m also sponsoring legislation to ensure that the Sacklers & others won’t be able to abuse the bankruptcy process in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This ruling will ensure accountability for the Sacklers, who caused immeasurable pain & suffering for so many people in CT & across the country. I applaud the court for rejecting the Sacklers’ attempt to escape responsibility for their actions. https://t.co/ZzC6I0KHNe — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Everyone deserves clean, safe, lead-free water. I’m glad to see the Biden Admin creating a plan to swiftly use Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funding to replace these decades old pipes. This update is way past due. https://t.co/o5w5nmbeNA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Not giving up. Not going away. Safe storage of guns can save lives—kids’ fatal play, mass shootings, suicides, & so many other senseless deaths. Ethan’s Law works in CT. Congress must pass it nationally. https://t.co/118421KyPN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I was proud to be her partner on a number of causes—such as stopping impaired driving & advancing elderly health care. She was a model & mentor for me & so many, & I was grateful to count her as a friend. I extend my deepest sympathies to her family. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Edith Prague was fierce & fearless—unexcelled & unstinting in her passion to give voice to the most vulnerable among us. Her life was incomparable, consummate public servant, working tirelessly for causes of justice & equity well into her 80s. https://t.co/RpLJf8K5iO — PolitiTweet.org

This military measure makes smart, strategic investments in defense tools built by CT’s skilled manufacturing force. It will tremendously fortify our country’s safety&strengthen CT’s economy while ensuring our armed forces have the resources to keep our nation&themselves safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Consumers have a right to know upfront about airline change & cancellation policies—especially as the pandemic continues. @SenMarkey & I wrote to the airline industry demanding it offer travelers flexibility, clarity, & refunds. https://t.co/vaJmVFbvEs — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today we remember not only what we lost, but also what we still need to do. There's no mystery here, Congress has to take steps to help stop gun violence. We need to honor those brave & wonderful Sandy Hook children & educators with action, not just words. https://t.co/e8M6TNdNAN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Each & every day Congress refuses to take action it is complicit in the deaths of Americans killed by gun violence. Inexcusable & unconscionable. Another year should not pass without real action to end this violence. — PolitiTweet.org
