Deeply moved & proud to join survivors & loved ones in opening this wondrously beautiful New Haven Botanical Garden of Healing honoring gun violence victims. Each movingly cited—on bricks & in our voices. Say their names. https://t.co/06wWlB9we4 — PolitiTweet.org

Getting guns off the streets—thanks to the Bridgeport PD & Swords To Plowshares, which blacksmiths firearms into garden tools. https://t.co/SgFt5SZjtm — PolitiTweet.org

With a heavy heart, I remember the 49 lives lost & countless more forever changed by the horrific attack at Pulse nightclub 5 years ago. We must end gun violence & foster a nation built on love & acceptance, not hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Today I visited Coconut Café in Hartford to celebrate Caribbean American Restaurant Week. Great to be with restaurant owner Noel & residents to celebrate the culture of the Caribbean community & small businesses. https://t.co/yaFkaGIqW0 — PolitiTweet.org

As Garland said a “meaningful right to vote means meaningful enforcement.” -2x Civil Rights Division voting rights enforcement staff -Committing to investigate local suppression efforts -Upping efforts to combat disinformation All critical steps to protect our voting rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Free, fair elections & a strong, dynamic democracy should be unifying issues. Yet Republicans are trying to change the rules & stymie American’s ability to make their voices heard. Passing basic protections—like the #ForThePeopleAct—should be the bare minimum. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

American’s right to vote—unobstructed & freely—is fundamental to the integrity & success of our democracy. AG Garland’s strong, compelling promise to uphold & fight for equal access to the ballot box is welcome & absolutely necessary. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Exciting to be a part of today’s ribbon cutting. Hall Neighborhood House will provide immensely important resources to the Bridgeport community—improving health care & saving lives. https://t.co/LjA13qVfJu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can’t let norms of trust & accountability be broken & then ignore the consequences. I fully support Chairman @SenatorDurbin's request for Barr, Sessions, & others to appear before our Judiciary committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

AG Barr, AG Sessions, & others who actively undercut & denigrated the independence of DOJ must be investigated & answer for their appalling actions. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This clear abuse of power & pointed, political attack makes a dangerous mockery of our nation’s separate, but equal, branches of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress cannot tolerate this misuse of subpoena power. A dagger at the heart of a co-equal branch’s independence. It must pursue & make public the whole truth, & why it’s been concealed. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Trump & Barr seeking dirt on Congressional adversaries—shredding the Constitution. The present DOJ needs to scrutinize the previous one, with appropriate action to deter abuse of power. Congress must investigate too. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Americans deserve the full truth—a prompt penetrating investigation into how Trump officials corruptly weaponized DOJ against political adversaries. https://t.co/bvGl65PAyD — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Truly heartbreaking. Our communities continue to perpetually feel the pain & loss of gun violence. Congress can—& must—be an agent of change & save lives. The time for commonsense action is now. https://t.co/k18Upj6nTg — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress should urgently act to protect fairness, racial justice, & gender equity in college athletics. @SenBooker & my College Athletes Bill of Rights would set a strong standard for these students. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

If you listen to student athletes, what they will tell you is they want more than just the rights to their name, image, & likeness. They want a strong, enforceable standard for health & safety, & educational opportunities. https://t.co/Whg7kRJoA2 — PolitiTweet.org

3/3: I’m proud to join this historic coalition of lawmakers in introducing #WHPA & look forward to taking the next step towards seeing it passed into law by holding a hearing in the Senate Judiciary Constitution Subcommittee on the bill next week. https://t.co/MIW0eKGZjf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

2/3: These demagogic & draconian laws hurt women & families as they make personal & difficult medical decisions. This issue is about more than health care, it’s about human rights—all our rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

1/3: With the Supreme Court set to consider a direct attack on Roe & as emboldened & extremist lawmakers viciously attack women’s reproductive rights in statehouses nationwide, the Women’s Health Protection Act has never been more urgent or more necessary. #ActForAbortionAccess — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

With their thriving biodiversity, our oceans serve as a pillar of our environment & economy. World Oceans Day is a time to recommit to protecting our waters, wildlife, & underwater natural habitats. https://t.co/rZ2rBrs6Ps — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Happening Now: Abortion access is under attack like never before. It’s time for Congress to protect this constitutional right & pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. #ActForAbortionAccess https://t.co/ggAqyGVv7C — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you to New Britain & great advocates for an inspiring #Pride flag raising ceremony. I’ll continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with you in the ongoing battle for equality & LGBTQ+ rights. Our LGBTQ+ community has given us so much. Their rights are human rights. https://t.co/wSe5NFEAgf — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Solid steps showing President Biden’s clear, consistent commitment to stopping gun violence—encouraging the fight for legislative action on red flag/extreme risk orders & more. New laws are necessary, not just executive initiatives. https://t.co/34f5jFJawl — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Military Justice Improvement & Increasing Prevention Act has a bipartisan, 60+ vote majority of support in the Senate. It deserves a floor vote ASAP. #PassMJIIPA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Watch the Commerce Committee hearing Wednesday for advocacy of our College Athletes Bill of Rights. College athletes & the public want enforceable health & education rights for these students. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’m working with @SenBooker on a federal College Athletes Bill of Rights protecting expansive vital health, safety, education & other guarantees, despite NCAA opposition. Tough national enforcement is critical. A patchwork of conflicting state laws will fail to do full justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I enthusiastically welcome a possible new CT NIL law to protect our state’s college athletes, & I’ll continue fighting for a strong, broad national standard. Along with financial fairness, they deserve health care, safety, education, & scholarship guarantees. — PolitiTweet.org
