A2: Trump & his admin shattered gov't ethics norms & blatantly ignored conflicts of interest. Whether it was continuing to hold ownership in his company, or directing funding to cronies, the corruption ran rampant. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A1: I've long believed sunlight is the best disinfectant. Our democracy falters when officials serve their self-interest instead of the people. That’s why I've introduced a Gov’t Ethics reform bill to give our top ethics watchdog real teeth—ensuring accountability. #S1TownHall — PolitiTweet.org

Moving forward, we must stop these business practices of negligence & commercial exploitation of children that now exists online. Spying & preying on children is never okay. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Big tech & data brokers are spying on children—monitoring their lives. As kids spend drastically more time online, these apps & websites are deeply addictive, full of aggressive, undisclosed marketing, & actively exploiting kids' private information for commercial gain. https://t.co/3jk0P7tPAr — PolitiTweet.org

It also provides for alternative sentences that will promote community healing, reconciliation, & rehabilitation. I’m grateful to my partner, Sen. @JerryMoran, & look forward now to effective enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our bill solves such problems by providing resources to states & localities for training, outreach, & reporting system improvements & by establishing new hotlines victims can directly call to report an attack. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Better hate crime reporting is critical to stopping this scourge. Law enforcement lacks the data to implement comprehensive, meaningful solutions. Local reporting systems are woefully underutilized because of systemic problems in identifying & recording hate crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Congress is making history in the fight against hate crimes—sending to the President’s desk the #COVID19HateCrimesAct with the Jabara-Heyer #NoHateAct. I’m proud of the bipartisan support against the surging scourge of hate, especially abhorrent violence against AAPI Americans. https://t.co/J6Xn6Bohyu — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The vision outlined in Sen. @MartinHeinrich’s #ElectrifyAmericasFuture is a win-win for CT & every state across the country. It will mean not only lower emissions & cleaner air, but also lower electricity rates. We all have a stake in electrifying the nation. https://t.co/2DTfGOsHNF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

LIVE: TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, & other apps attract kids, but lack comprehensive safeguards to protect them. Today, my Commerce subcommittee is raising concerns about manipulative marketing on these platforms & how Big Tech is misusing children's data. https://t.co/mQNY77B7JA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I expect that antitrust enforcers will fully & fairly review this deal to protect consumers’ interests. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Recent lax antitrust enforcement has allowed a dramatic consolidation in the media market that is driving up prices & limiting consumer choice. TV viewers & sports lovers deserve more choices about how they get their entertainment, better competition over services & lower prices. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This mega-merger combining two of the country’s largest media conglomerates demands close scrutiny to protect consumers’ pocket books instead of accelerating further concentration among corporate behemoths. https://t.co/LRdabfTbAh — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can’t go back. People deserve the right to access safe & legal abortions, regardless of their zip code. We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to guarantee a person's reproductive freedom, everywhere in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can’t go back to an America where the rich & privileged can access needed care, but the rest of America cannot. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We can’t go back to an America that in banning abortion drives it underground, making vital health care services illegal & unsafe. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We simply can’t go back to a time when the government controlled people’s decision about whether & when to have a child. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Women’s Health Protection Act would put an end to actions taken by states like Mississippi to deny access to safe & legal abortions. WHPA will protect against this exact kind of reprehensible restriction on a woman’s right to choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Frightening. The Mississippi abortion ban is a direct, terrifying attack on reproductive health care freedom that flies in the face of 50 years of Supreme Court precedent. The outcome of this case could put millions of women & their rights at risk. https://t.co/nOLbZIKALF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Putting real teeth in tax enforcement requires real resources & significant, fully enforced penalties as a deterrent to prevent wealthy tax cheats from scamming the system. https://t.co/56Wrhvm4XX — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Ransomware horror stories show how it menaces national security. New legal tools to fight it are urgent—through immediate bipartisan action. Delay only destroys trust & enriches cyber criminals. https://t.co/q6hURcJdVd — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thanks to Capitol Hearts leader Jazna Stannard & artist Andre Rochester & others for spectacular work on this tribute to essential workers. Front line public servants have given so much. https://t.co/4pHGDpx5bt — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Idyllic setting & awesome story at Fox Farm Brewery. Loyal customers, great workers, & a bit of federal support got it through the pandemic. Now poised to leap forward. https://t.co/aCEURP31bb — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Visit to New Park Brewing to mark American Craft Beer Week—very fun & inspiring. An amazing small business, expanding service & production with federal support. Great people. https://t.co/sZyswspARt — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Good riddance to this Trump era political ploy. Revoking this order is a step in the right direction, the next must be real reform to Section 230 that addresses Big Tech’s actual harms to the public. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Right wing dark money groups speaking loud & proud about their partnership with the Republican party to capture our courts & suppress the vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

At last, Republicans have agreed to focus on what really needs investigation—causes & accountability for the 1/6 insurrection. As I’ve urged repeatedly, Americans deserve the facts about the storming of the U.S. Capitol by violent extremists. https://t.co/9DyCTwJxoO — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Next steps toward accountability for Trump DOJ wrongdoing—which I’ve repeatedly urged—requires this disclosure. The present DOJ should let the disclosure order take effect, & as appropriate, pursue the past lawbreaking. https://t.co/yJRQKk9tBe — PolitiTweet.org
