Thanks to this bill’s robust investments, we will bring our transportation systems into the 21st century, create millions of good-paying jobs, & better compete in the global economy long into the future. But our work doesn’t end here. — PolitiTweet.org

We are long overdue for improving our nation’s crumbling roads & bridges, modernizing our rail, & ensuring Americans have access to reliable, affordable internet. — PolitiTweet.org

The #BuildBackBetterAct will invest $5 billion in intervention programs to help communities end the scourge of gun violence. Amazing to talk with advocates in New Haven about the lifesaving work that will be done with this federal funding. https://t.co/jzI6cUmnF3 — PolitiTweet.org

I am thrilled that @mintimm will be taking the helm @NARAL at this critical moment for reproductive freedoms. Mini is an expert organizer & a true champion of reproductive rights & equity. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, Congress has a responsibility to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself & ensure accountability by passing my Foreign & Domestic Emoluments Enforcement Act. There is no time to waste. 5 https://t.co/LPdpQMgWP0 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

So I’ve worked with constitutional law experts to create an enforcement mechanism that will actually hold accountable office holders & presidents who seek to enrich themselves at the American people’s expense. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Lengthy procedural hurdles rendered the Constitution’s core anti-corruption protections a dead letter. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

When we elected a President who thought the rules didn’t apply to him, we found that enforcing the Constitution’s most critical anti-corruption provisions was prohibitively difficult—& we tried. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: For centuries, the President & other high-ranking US government officials treated the Foreign & Domestic Emoluments Clauses as strict guidance. In recent years, that’s changed... 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

The Supreme Court has the chance to defend states’ rights to enact GVP measures that keep the public safe & save lives. Special interest groups shouldn’t be able to rob the American people of their power to protect their families & communities from gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

NYSRPA case before SCOTUS pushes the NRA’s deadly agenda: to allow people to carry guns in public without restrictions. Rolling back gun violence prevention laws is dangerous & unjustifiable. I’ll keep fighting to make sure that #GunLawsSaveLives. — PolitiTweet.org

Decade after decade, Brad Davis was devoted to straight talk—incisive & important facts & insights. Whether at WFSB or WDRC-AM, he earned deep respect & affection for his fairness, dedication, & generosity. Sharing sadness, I extend sympathies to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Paid leave is key to creating an economy that works for working families. I joined @PaidLeaveforAll to share the stories of CT constituents who remind us all why it is critical to deliver a national paid family & medical leave program. https://t.co/aD7GIXkHrq — PolitiTweet.org

This deal for cutting prescription drug prices is a leap forward. Slashing skyrocketing costs for millions will mean real savings for Americans who have been paying far more than they should be for life-saving medication. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Safe storage, public education campaigns, & clear best practices for firearms dealers will help save lives. Congress must also do its part. Let’s pass Ethan’s Law, the Safe Gun Storage Act, & the Lethal Means Safety Act to fortify these actions into law. https://t.co/sRTCbrqwEu — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to stand with brave Waterbury firefighters yesterday to announce federal funding for Station 10 Fire House. This $254,000 grant will provide life-saving equipment like chest compression devices, automatic external defibrillators, & emergency medical equipment. https://t.co/bhNl3HXQQk — PolitiTweet.org

The fight of our time lies ahead—whatever the outcome of this argument—because proliferating state restrictions put people’s reproductive freedoms at critical risk. Justices today rightly called out chilling effects on reproductive rights rippling around the country. — PolitiTweet.org

If SCOTUS decides that federal courts do not have the power to block laws like the #SB8 abortion ban, then states will have the ability to take away other constitutional rights. This is a threat to all of us & our right to live with autonomy, dignity, & equality. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Texas’ abortion ban is a full-scale attack on patients, their health care providers, & their support systems. Right-wing politicians don’t just want to take away abortion access in Texas; they plan on using Texas’ ban as a blueprint to eliminate reproductive rights nationwide. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The cases before SCOTUS today put the right to abortion access directly at risk. #RoeVWade is the law of the land & I'll keep fighting to make sure it stays that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I rolled up my sleeve & received my annual flu shot because vaccines work. Help to protect your health & the health of others by getting your flu shot without delay. https://t.co/igzSuK7riL — PolitiTweet.org

You can run, but you can’t hide, @Facebook.  A new nom de plume may confuse & distract, but won't erase years of devious practices & disregard for privacy, kids’ wellbeing, spreading hate, & genocide.  https://t.co/noZweHjIMP — PolitiTweet.org
