We face a public health imperative, not just a moral reckoning. Our nation is in the midst of a mental health crisis. Aggravated by toxic content & driven by Big Tech’s black box algorithms, leading children down dark rabbit holes. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Outrage at inaction—Congress’ inexcusable failure to pass the Kids Online Safety Act. Outrage at Big Tech’s pillaging the public interest with armies of lobbyists & lawyers, despite its pledges of collaboration. Outrage that victims must relive their pain & grief. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Parents—whose tears & raw grief as they told me about their loss—have moved me with heartbreaking power. Beyond heartbreak, what I also feel is outrage. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Young people like Emma Lembke have been victims of Big Tech’s hideous “experiment,” as President Biden rightly called it. Parents like Kristin Bride, have lost beautiful children like Carson. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

THREAD: Let’s be blunt from the beginning—because we know right now the central truth. Big Tech has relentlessly, ruthlessly pumped up profits by purposefully exploiting kids’ & parents’ pain. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

We grieve again—our hearts going out to victims, survivors, loved ones. We are still awaiting more facts about the shooting, but we know for sure what can be done to honor them with action. Solid steps against gun violence like Gov. Whitmer’s proposed red flag&safe storage laws. — PolitiTweet.org

We can no longer rely on social media companies to police themselves. @MarshaBlackburn & my Kids Online Safety Act is necessary to give parents & young people control of the content they are consuming, ensure Big Tech accountability, & encourage greater transparency. — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
Social media platforms are knowingly using their black box algorithms to drive kids down dark rabbit holes. Doing so helps their bottom line—more eyes equals more dollars. — PolitiTweet.org

The Village in Hartford is doing so much for kids’ safety & health. I joined clinicians & child advocates today to urge swift passage of the Kids Online Safety Act–saving children from the toxic online content that threatens their lives & wellbeing. https://t.co/CLnj1CfP0Y — PolitiTweet.org

Unexpected cancellations, delays, exorbitant fees, & cramped seats. These frustrations & others are all too frequent realities of flying. Air travel has never been more uncomfortable, unpredictable, or stressful. Here’s what Congress can do about it. https://t.co/EwtWmu0fZX — PolitiTweet.org

A chilly Sunday morning in New Haven—no better time to support @IRISCT in its life-saving work for refugees. Proud to be at the annual Run with a warm, wonderful turnout. https://t.co/s6Z2rn6F5J — PolitiTweet.org

Driving shouldn’t be a contact sport. Tesla’s pitches & promises for its self-driving capabilities need strong scrutiny, consumers deserve the truth. A Super Bowl ad shouldn’t be necessary to do it. https://t.co/8FJOXC4net — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join @rosadelauro in opening the Venture Smith exhibit in New Haven, the powerful story of this early American slave who bought his freedom in CT 258 years ago. We’re reintroducing our Resolution commemorating his courage & resilience. — PolitiTweet.org

India’s independence&constitutional democracy celebrated last night w/wonderful food, song&dance in Hartford at CT’s Capitol. I was proud to join in marking this historic 75th anniversary of freedom, rights&the rule of law among so many friends in the Indian-American community. — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate Chair Durbin & Ranking Member Graham for convening this hearing. It is a timely opportunity to continue shining the spotlight on Big Tech’s ongoing harms to kids. The harrowing experiences of young people & families online implore Congress to swiftly act. 4 — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
We’ll also hear about the fantastic work @MissingKids & ICAC are doing to combat CSAM online. Millions of horrifying images go unidentified & unreported by tech platforms because there are so few consequences for these companies. That ends w/@LindseyGrahamSC & my EARN IT Act. 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
The Committee will be fortunate to hear from Kristin & Emma whose lived experiences make clear the lasting negative impact of Big Tech. Kids are being harmed by these platforms. We must pass @MarshaBlackburn & my Kids Online Safety Act to hold these companies accountable. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal
The phenomenal witnesses set to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee at Tuesday’s hearing are smart, compassionate online safety champions—instrumental in helping craft my comprehensive Kids Online Safety Act & EARN IT Act. 1/ https://t.co/HCBmg3uV99 — PolitiTweet.org

Crackdown on sky-high fees—stop anti-consumer tactics like holding back tickets & require fees be “all in” with full disclosure as my BOSS Act requires. Thanks to the President for State of the Union shout out. Now Congress must act. https://t.co/X4BsB0xgHQ — PolitiTweet.org

What has occurred in Türkiye & Syria is a catastrophe of epic proportions. I will work & fight for any & all assistance—in medical supplies, food, shelter, clothing, & more—that are needed now in this moment of devastating disaster. — PolitiTweet.org

At Diyanet Mosque of New Haven people are rallying together in an outpouring of support for the victims of the earthquake in Türkiye & Syria. Bringing food, clothing, & other supplies to this wonderful place of faith & dedication. https://t.co/qLrjAEvUGr — PolitiTweet.org

Wheeler Clinic’s new community health center is about treatment, hope, & a brighter future. This nearly $1M federal investment will pay dividends for years to come—helping people throughout the Bristol region get the care they need & deserve. https://t.co/xwt7USODcO — PolitiTweet.org

Our persistent bipartisan work—proud to say, me & @JohnCornyn—will enable more competition & innovation for prescription drugs, lowering prices. Standing up to Big Pharma, fighting for consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Drug prices can be cut by stopping Big Pharma’s abuse of patents—which my Affordable Prescriptions For Patients Act will help do. It was approved unanimously by the Judiciary Committee today. — PolitiTweet.org

Our country is facing an at home care crisis. The failure to provide enough pay & support to long term care workers has rippling ramifications.

We passed the PACT Act & now need to make sure veterans come home to good paying jobs, affordable housing, & mental health services they need & deserve. We must work together with bipartisan action to make it a reality. — PolitiTweet.org
