Amazon can’t simply turn a purposeful blind eye to dangerous & defective products offered to unsuspecting consumers. Looking the other way, while reaping billions, is reprehensible & irresponsible. — PolitiTweet.org

I applaud stakeholders in the Northeast for coming together to coordinate & sequence projects to make our nation’s busiest rail corridor stronger than ever. CT commuters deserve frequent, fast, safe, & reliable passenger rail service.#ConnectNEC2035 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A bold plan for the future: rebuilding our aging rail infrastructure, reducing travel times, growing jobs, & cutting carbon emissions. I will fight for quick Congressional action to fund this transformative program & bring it to fruition. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to stand with Texas lawmakers as they fight voter suppression. Their courage & fortitude are inspiring. https://t.co/ArKE9JkX36 — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ must not fail survivors now. It should fully enforce measures of accountability for these crimes. Inspector General Horowitz, FBI Director Wray, & AG Garland need to come before the Senate to explain what steps are being taken to ensure this never happens again. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today’s new report makes one thing shockingly clear: years before Larry Nassar’s arrest, the FBI was warned about his horrific abuse & did nothing. Sickening to think how many athletes would have been spared unimaginable pain if the FBI had done its job. — PolitiTweet.org

We must protect Americans’ right to vote. HAPPENING NOW: As voting rights come under attack across the country, my Subcommittee on the Constitution is hearing from experts about this danger to the foundation of our democracy. https://t.co/ChZyo81O1i — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

From groceries to back-to-school clothes, the #ChildTaxCredit will allow millions of families to have additional, much needed cash in their pockets. The American Rescue Plan’s revolutionary expansion of this poverty fighting funding will start payments this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Tomorrow my Subcommittee on the Constitution will hear from experts about the danger these attacks on voting rights pose to our democracy. I look forward to chairing tomorrow’s hearing & continuing to push Congress to take action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Free & fair elections strengthen our democracy & should be a unifying issue. Yet, we see countless attempts to suppress & subvert this Constitutional right. I won’t stop fighting to make sure it is easier, not harder, for Americans to participate in our democratic process. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress needs to take action now to protect the foundation of our democracy: Americans’ right to vote. The President is right, passing legislation to protect access to the ballot box is an urgent national imperative. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The American Rescue Plan’s revolutionary expansion of the #ChildTaxCredit means 39 million households will start receiving monthly payments this week. This once in a generation investment to fight child poverty will help to build an economy that works for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

SCOTUS’ flawed & anti-democratic decisions in Brnovich & Shelby County gut parts of the Voting Rights Act. Tomorrow in my Subcommittee on the Constitution, we’ll hear from experts on the impact of these decisions & steps Congress must take to protect Americans’ right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Care workers dedicate their lives to help our seniors & loved ones with disabilities. Now it’s time we do our part to support them. As we #BuildBackBetter & invest in human infrastructure, let’s give these heroes the respect, pay, & protection they deserve. #CareIsEssential — PolitiTweet.org

Federal funds put to great use by East Windsor in a grant program for small businesses & nonprofits. We announced it yesterday—to create jobs & strengthen the community. Congratulations & thanks to local leaders, setting a compelling model. https://t.co/aOPYrHiZXS — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Floats, music, dancing showed exuberant exciting joy & pride—especially after missing last year—at the Puerto Rican Parade. Special meaning also in honoring health care worker heroes like Sam Diaz at wonderful SW Community Health Center. https://t.co/3cbxwnJDtb — PolitiTweet.org

For years tech companies & equipment makers have locked down the tools & info needed to repair devices—making fixes more costly & time-consuming. Glad to see Biden calling on the FTC to pull back these restrictions & restoring people’s right to repair. https://t.co/7F2bOWq0yf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Great to see Biden’s exec order encouraging the FTC to craft rules promoting competition in our economy. We must stop Big Pharma from paying to keep generic drugs off the market & prevent abuses like noncompete agreements. Last week I sent Chair Khan a letter calling for this: https://t.co/2nbFe8JFei — PolitiTweet.org

The Stevenson Dam Bridge is critical infrastructure that stops flooding & saves lives along the Housatonic River. We need to be investing in physical infrastructure like this, as well as human infrastructure. Doing so is vital to the future of our nation. https://t.co/3SDKaPrOVu — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenMarkey & I will continue to push for legislative solutions to hold airlines accountable & make sure they do right by consumers. Steps like cash refunds & non-expiring credits for canceled flights are simple ways to ensure fairness & respect for flyers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Time & again airlines have unacceptably refused to provide refunds for delayed baggage or unprovided services. With today’s executive order President Biden is helping to stem the tide of these chronic bad practices & put dollars back in consumers’ pockets.https://t.co/dEhEgRHsvk — PolitiTweet.org

A thorough, transparent accounting of the discrimination taking place against Black veterans at the VA is long overdue. There is no excuse, the VA must close any existing disparities in benefits or services. These brave veterans deserve nothing less.  https://t.co/iYStRzMwgE — PolitiTweet.org
