During the pandemic, @foodshare & @CTFoodBank have stepped up to tackle the growing food insecurity crisis. Today, I visited their Norwich location to thank volunteers & highlight the 10 statewide sites that will be operating this summer thanks to #AmericanRescuePlan funding. https://t.co/2LhbUQj9sq — PolitiTweet.org

Thrilled Pres. Biden has nominated CT’s own Jennifer Homendy to be chair of the NTSB. Her dedication & commitment to ensuring safe, reliable transportation will help to keep the NTSB on track while they conduct their critical reporting & investigative work.https://t.co/jF6jcNiaeU — PolitiTweet.org

More than a million species are on the brink of extinction because of climate change & habitat destruction. We must protect this amazing wildlife. Passing the Extinction Prevention Act is critical to bolster conservation & reverse declines in biodiversity. #EndangeredSpeciesDay — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @AGWilliamTong & @AGKarlRacine for your tireless work to combat hate crimes in your communities. https://t.co/Nc6NzBYsGR — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

President Biden spoke so passionately & powerfully about how hate will have no harbor here. The reporting requirements, training support, & other remedies in the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act & the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act will help stamp out this bigoted violence. https://t.co/eA8t9ammg5 — PolitiTweet.org

Fantastic to have @AGWilliamTong at today’s historic White House signing of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act & the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act. AG Tong is working tirelessly to ensure every tool is available to protect the people in CT from these terrible crimes. https://t.co/pVYjaQxCy9 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Out of unspeakable heartbreak & sorrow, the Jabara & Heyer families have advocated with conviction & courage for the NO HATE Act. It was an honor to join them today at the White House to see President Biden sign this bill into law. https://t.co/KFAyvGRkOl — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today with the signing of the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act & the Jabara-Heyer NO HATE Act our nation took critical action to combat hate—bringing us one step closer to curbing this bigoted, racist, xenophobic violence. We cannot stand idly by & let hate flourish in America. https://t.co/OoOjMul8RX — PolitiTweet.org

Having championed social & emotional learning programs for almost a decade, I’ve seen their powerful impact in helping students deal with emotions & navigate social situations. A special thanks to @ScarlettMLewis for her tremendous work on this issue & compelling advocacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Resources to help equip students & their families with social & emotional learning skills are more critical than ever. The SELF Act's vital investment in personal resilience will help build a stronger generation—enabling them to successfully tackle stresses, traumas, & hardships. — PolitiTweet.org

If Republicans follow McConnell over a cliff to vote against the January 6th Commission they will be complicit in the Big Lie & prevent efforts to protect our democracy. https://t.co/AsspnfAqqN — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Republicans must now choose—the truth & our democracy vs the Big Lie & a violent mob. It’s that simple. There will be a vote to create the January 6th Commission. The insurrection perpetrators must be held accountable. https://t.co/LDGbr6biWT — PolitiTweet.org

Hate crimes have no place in America. Honored to join @SpeakerPelosi @SenSchumer & my other colleagues at today's enrollment ceremony for the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. With bigoted violence on the rise, we urgently need the comprehensive measures this bill & my #NoHateAct provide https://t.co/6PX8Az5Vhd — PolitiTweet.org

A7: A lack of ethics & accountability allows dark money to infiltrate & influence our courts & bankroll public policy. Ethics & accountability in gov’t means Americans can trust gov’t is working for them, & not corporate donors or promotion of personal self-interest. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A6: For far too long, the gun lobby & other corrupt groups have exerted undue influence on blocking life-saving gun violence prevention legislation, health care protection, & climate change initiatives. Congress must break this trend & pass critical legislation. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The #ForThePeopleAct would change this & ensure no part of our federal justice system is immune from transparency & accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A5: Right now SCOTUS justices have no ethics code requiring recusal, financial disclosures, or disclosure of outside employment/partisan political engagement. This is unacceptable & compromises our judiciary. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A4: There is a clear conflict of interest when members of Congress sit on corporate boards. Ensuring elected officials act in the interest of the American people, & not their personal pocketbooks or corporate interests, will clearly help combat corruption. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A3: Systemic lack of transparency & enforcement will cover for the corruption perpetrated by individual bad actors. The #ForThePeopleAct will create strong laws & accountability to protect Constitutional rights, promote gov’t ethics, & protect our democracy. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This patterned abuse of power undermines the govt's work & hurts the American people. We must restore governmental norms & enact policies that shore up these ethical standards. We don’t have time to waste. — PolitiTweet.org
