Kristen Clarke has fought tirelessly for civil rights & liberties as a vigorous, honest enforcer of the law. I strongly support her nomination. #ConfirmClarke https://t.co/Kgu1JKzZiK — PolitiTweet.org

This moment is a tribute to the sexual assault survivors who stepped forward, shared their stories, & never gave up fighting for what’s right. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It has taken years of relentless, courageous advocacy to bring meaningful reforms to the military’s broken system of justice within reach. The time for plans or promises is over—change is coming now. — PolitiTweet.org

Wishing all who are celebrating a happy & healthy Eid-al-Fitr. May this time of self-reflection & renewal provide hope for the future. #EidMubarak — PolitiTweet.org

By confronting deep inequities in STEM fields, this bill will make it easier for women & other underrepresented groups to thrive. The full Senate must commit to passing this strong bipartisan legislation to support talented scientists & invest in American innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I added measures to this legislation to fight the rampant culture of sexual harassment in STEM & support young scientists whose careers have been affected by the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Endless Frontier Act—which passed out of the Commerce Committee today—will help put America at the forefront of scientific & technological progress. This bipartisan commitment will protect our vital economic & strategic national interests as a world leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Every American has the right to make their voice heard at the ballot box, yet people’s freedom to vote is under attack across the country. It’s more important now than ever that we #RestoretheVRA & pass the #ForThePeopleAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Thrilled to see the Biden White House continuing to nominate exceedingly qualified candidates to the federal bench. Their diversity & wide-ranging legal experience, including as public defenders, will serve to strengthen our judiciary.  https://t.co/Q53j1v3dPt — PolitiTweet.org

Devastating loss of a @NewHavenFire hero this morning. My heart goes out to his family, friends, & fellow firefighters—including the three others that were injured in the blaze. https://t.co/ZZAQKUCab5 — PolitiTweet.org

Commissioner Michael Harrison has seen the exponential rise in ghost guns first hand. Thank you for sharing your on the ground experience during today’s hearing. https://t.co/xj3zJqoX4t — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

.@Everytown’s @nicksuplina makes a compelling case for the rise of untraceable ghost guns & how they have become the fastest growing threat to gun safety in the country. https://t.co/r6OJYOPtXM — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thank you @PAAttorneyGen for joining the Senate Judiciary committee today & breaking down just how easy it is for a criminal to get their hands on these dangerous ghost guns. https://t.co/phlgqYR6mp — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Tonight for the first time in more than 600 days we heard “Play Ball” at a home @GoYardGoats game. I will continue to work in Congress to provide financial assistance to these teams, ensuring we can continue to enjoy Minor League Baseball in towns across the nation. https://t.co/MleRjvZ7kI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

My Untraceable Firearms Act would close the ‘ghost’ gun loophole for good—ensuring that violent extremists, domestic abusers, & terrorists can’t evade background checks & other safety measures by building guns at home instead of buying them from a store. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

There is nothing ghost-like about ‘ghost’ guns. They look like guns, they shoot like guns, they kill like guns. They are guns—except under federal law. These weapons are becoming the preferred instruments for criminals—the fastest growing gun violence menace in the nation. https://t.co/KvajC8zGuw — PolitiTweet.org

Caught red-handed—the NRA will not be allowed to hide behind bankruptcy to skirt culpability. The NRA must answer for its fraud & corruption. https://t.co/nRn0uMZnKB — PolitiTweet.org

A gun built at home from a kit can kill as many people as one bought in a store—only the DIY version doesn’t require an ID, licensing, or background check. WATCH LIVE: as the Senate Judiciary talks to experts about the threat of untraceable ‘ghost guns.' https://t.co/w7f2UOglYI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Today at 10AM, my Judiciary subcommittee will be holding a hearing on the exponential proliferation of ‘ghost guns.’ These untraceable weapons—that circumvent existing background checks—pose an increasing, deadly threat to our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

With at least 10 mass shootings happening just this past weekend, the Senate has no time to waste. We must expeditiously work to address this devastating violence head on through comprehensive policies & action. https://t.co/j9anAXWp31 — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s some more information about this great event: https://t.co/OXdY6vpXhA — PolitiTweet.org

The last 4 years showed just how easily ‘norms’ that aren’t written into law can be ignored. My Office of Government Ethics reform bill will give our nation’s top ethics watchdog real teeth–ensuring our nation’s leaders serve the American people, not their own self-interest. https://t.co/RfFFKTXcg5 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It’s unconscionable that airlines are refusing to return customers’ money even as the industry sits on $10 billion+ in unused travel credits that are expiring soon. I’m joining @SenMarkey in demanding airlines give travelers their rightful refunds. https://t.co/ZbfTFf26zr — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Hartford 400 is an exciting plan for revitalizing the city & providing a regional turbocharge to the economy. Wonderful to join @MayorBronin, @RepJohnLarson , @TreasurerWooden, & Jay Williams to talk about this amazing project & advocate for federal funding. https://t.co/PO0yuMXHfW — PolitiTweet.org

Look no further than this video to see why we need to pass my Big Cat Public Safety Act. Private, unlicensed individuals should not be allowed to own these wild animals & especially keep them in their homes as pets. — PolitiTweet.org
