Glad to see Biden Admin declare DOJ will stop seizing reporter records—a long overdue policy change to protect privacy&1st Amendment rights of the press. But a full accounting of what happened during the Trump Admin is still necessary. Judiciary Committee should ask for answers. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This gag order unconscionably concealing DOJ’s legally dubious probe of reporters under Trump requires full public disclosure. DOJ now must come clean. Tell the public why prosecutors perpetuated these secret abuses & forced silence. https://t.co/aYD9fYslR1 — PolitiTweet.org

The timing of this destructive decision is especially painful: National Gun Violence Awareness Day. What a gut punch to victims, survivors, & loved ones, as well as advocates & advocates. But make no mistake: we’ll keep fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The fatal flaws in this ruling’s legal reasoning (like it’s 2nd amendment “bull’s eye test”) are more than academic—they will cost lives. It’s untethered to the real world, where AR-15 rifles are weapons of choice for mass shootings. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This misguided, deeply dangerous ruling deserves & needs quick reversal. Typical of its delusional mindset: comparing assault weapons to Swiss Army knives. If it weren’t a federal judge in a judicial opinion, it would be a bad joke. Dispatch it to history’s legal dust bin. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A true honor to be a part of today’s roundtable with @CompassYouth Peacebuilders program—hearing powerful stories from those who have personally experienced gun violence. These mentors & youth are deeply committed to saving lives & making a difference in their community. https://t.co/Zxz3q88GcI — PolitiTweet.org

Today I joined medical experts—who often see the horrors of gun violence firsthand—to call for change. Universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders, closing ghost gun loopholes, & more will help stop this heartbreaking violence. #WearOrange #GunViolenceAwarenessDay https://t.co/ZkDPQFR8Jj — PolitiTweet.org

Too many lives have been lost to the scourge of gun violence. Today, we #WearOrange to honor victims & survivors, but also as a vivid call to action. Congress must pass commonsense reforms—now. #GunViolenceAwarenessDay — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful to visit @agrussell_usa. Their work creating medical device components is a great asset to CT’s manufacturing industry. With the passage of the Endless Frontier Act, we will be able to help expand manufacturing, bolster training programs, & create good-paying jobs. https://t.co/XAsmvcIfN9 — PolitiTweet.org

Finalizing this rule is welcome, & long overdue. Dangerous infant sleeper products have led to heartbreak & tragic loss for hundreds of families. This new rule will close glaring regulatory loopholes & increase safety for infants—saving lives. https://t.co/RdeDg4Bcsy — PolitiTweet.org

Reproductive rights are under direct, imminent attack. Next week I’ll be reintroducing the Women’s Health Protection Act—a bill that would help protect people’s freedom to make decisions about their own bodies & reproductive futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you Paxton for standing up & speaking out. You are right, “We cannot stay silent.” https://t.co/b6PDd2S1M6 — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing rally spearheaded by @CAGVNews to energize the fight against gun violence. Thanks to all the brave survivors for being there. https://t.co/XyOqUYwDUK — PolitiTweet.org

CT is home to amazing art, talented artists, & fantastic cultural institutions that add so much to our communities. Proud & excited to be a part of today’s celebration of Hartford’s thriving art scene in front of Corey Pane’s new piece “Just Grow.” https://t.co/dOui7BwqtZ — PolitiTweet.org

This must change. Today I stood with Kathleen Cardona & Helen Keiser-Pedersen—both Gold Star Family members—to introduce the Gold Star Families Forever Stamp Act. https://t.co/yiDzx4Ihb8 — PolitiTweet.org

All who give their lives in service to our nation leave behind a brave Gold Star Family. Too often, the courage & resolve of these families go unrecognized. — PolitiTweet.org

Live venues have struggled during the pandemic, but help is here. Great to visit the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport & see the federal Save Our Stages grant program in action. https://t.co/8UkuJVSDEg — PolitiTweet.org

#Pride is more than just a celebration, it is a call to action. We must continue to build upon the progress of past activists, trailblazers, & role models to demand equality for all LGBTQ+ Americans. https://t.co/hdT3uayAZ9 — PolitiTweet.org

At today’s solemn ceremony at CT’s veterans cemetery in Middletown, state Commissioner Saadi spoke compellingly of the fallen—heroes who succumb to invisible wounds like PTSD, as well as visible physical injuries. I joined in the call for better care. https://t.co/VGZ0qNP7fu — PolitiTweet.org

Naugatuck did itself proud this Memorial Day with great crowds & spirit. Both parade & ceremony evoked powerful emotion. https://t.co/VrLbygGul0 — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to Greenwich for a beautiful dockside early morning service in tribute to fallen heroes. Cool weather, but warm hearts. https://t.co/tsitwigMCz — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to generations of servicememebers who gave their lives to preserve & protect our freedom. This #MemorialDay, we honor the service & sacrifice of these brave men & women. — PolitiTweet.org

Surging gun sales will likely lead to upticks in gun violence. If we are going to stem the tide of tragedy & death, we must prevent guns from going to dangerous people. https://t.co/fNpSmyKtVd — PolitiTweet.org

Miami mass shooting & the hundreds of other gun deaths in cities around the U.S. remind us: gun violence takes no holidays. https://t.co/kfTN6PLFAS — PolitiTweet.org

This Memorial Day weekend we owe heartfelt tributes to the heroes who fought & sacrificed their lives for our country. Every day we are inspired by & grateful for these brave Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Tonight I joined @PamelaBrownCNN to discuss Republican obstructionism & fear of 1/6 truths. Whether by a commission or a select committee we need a full accounting of the facts so we can address the continued threat of violent extremism to our democracy. https://t.co/XwPkOoDbT5 — PolitiTweet.org
