FEMA’s mobile vaccine clinic doing great work around CT. It’s van is in Waterbury today, Middletown on Monday, New Haven thereafter. Our nation needs more of them for outreach to hard-to-reach communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Bridgeport’s vaccination clinic is doing more than 700 shots today. Phenomenal outreach. A great way to celebrate Nurse Appreciation Week. — PolitiTweet.org

Griffin Health is canvassing neighborhoods in Waterbury & offering spectacular Mexican food with vaccinations. Exactly what’s needed in vaccine community outreach. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Get the vaccine—then get amazing Mexican food, both free in Waterbury. Thanks to Chris Garcia (Taquerias del Garcia), his great food truck, Griffin Health & CT’s Natl Guard. https://t.co/61lyGElfS2 — PolitiTweet.org

So excited & honored to join UConn graduates & loved ones for this special day—virtual, but no less meaningful. Today you graduate, but you’ll always be Huskies. Congratulations. — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ must initiate an immediate inquiry to determine whether the rules were correctly followed in seizing reporter records & justify the necessity of these steps. Serious First Amendment interests are at stake. https://t.co/rT8zdfoThI — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Our College Athlete Bill of Rights protects health, education, & other critical athlete interests not just name, image & likeness. If the NCAA is serious about fairness to athletes, it should endorse this model—supported by athletes themselves. @SenBooker & I will fight for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The NCAA’s constant delaying of goals & deadlines do a disservice to student athletes. Congress needs to act now to guarantee athletes' rights, rather than force them to rely on NCAA’s pinky promises of reform. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Now more necessary than ever—we need a federal law establishing a national standard & college athletes bill of rights. This NCAA set of rules will be too weak to protect athletes or provide a uniform standard. A patchwork of state laws will proliferate. https://t.co/gcQ8CNJRHW — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Honored to stop by the State Capitol to see the "Capitol Hearts" instillation thanking CT's amazing health care workers. These heroes have given so much over this past year—fighting tirelessly to save lives. https://t.co/pAGBGr4IH9 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

The Crime Victims Fund’s diminishing balance is causing crucial services to be slashed. Proud to join such fierce advocates today to call for swift passage of the Victims of Crime Act so this vital aid for victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, & other crimes is secured. https://t.co/uPE3P7skfF — PolitiTweet.org

Next week, I’ll be holding a hearing in the Constitution Subcommittee on these so-called ‘ghost guns’ & legislation Congress must consider to close this glaring loophole for good. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This rule will not stop anyone who is legally allowed to own a firearm from purchasing one or building one. It will simply allow law enforcement to trace crime guns & take action against those who are using this loophole to stockpile weapons they are not legally allowed to have. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

An assault weapon built from a kit ordered off the internet can kill just as many people as one bought in a store—only the DIY version doesn’t require an ID, licensing, or a background check. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This new rule will help stop a surging menace of homemade, untraceable deadly weapons. It’s a historic step in applying Presidential power against gun violence. This straightforward rule is based on one fundamental & inescapable fact: a homemade gun is still a gun. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to stand with my colleagues to fight for the American Families Plan. We have been through a year hardship & heartbreak & now we have a once in a generation opportunity to create real lasting change that invests in the people of CT & allows us to build back better. https://t.co/ZiMNrjOEEz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Exciting improvements to Tweed New Haven Airport will give the traveling public more options, while also generating much-needed jobs & economic activity. Great to see this collaborative project between local officials & residents moving forward w/federal & private sector funding. https://t.co/5Gxy6puGYH — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Huge swaths of open space, water & wildlife will be preserved forever as a result of local action spurred by this report. It is an inspiring vision—with sweeping & enduring potential benefits to America’s economy & environment. https://t.co/z0KczqvsSe — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

It’s impossible to imagine what the last year would have been like without our nurses. #NationalNursesDay comes at a time when their life-saving work has never been more needed & appreciated. To all our nursing heroes, like those I met today at the West Haven VA—thank you. https://t.co/EbVEJnRfU8 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

CT’s greatest asset is its people—inventors & innovators who bring new products to market that benefit us for lifetimes. Urban Mining CT’s plant is Exhibit A, fighting the climate crisis by producing green concrete with recycled glass. https://t.co/3xL7Skm8NL — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A game & the vaccine. @GovNedLamont, @HartfordHealthC, & @GoYardGoats are teaming up to help make sure people get vaccinated. This is exactly the leadership & creativity we need. https://t.co/uQdA1OEFsQ — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

For the sake of consumers, I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance my Sunshine in Product Safety Act to restore transparency to product safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

As Chair of the Consumer Protection Subcommittee, I’m committed to strengthening the CPSC & ensuring companies like Peloton no longer get to call the shots on consumer safety. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Pet scams are surging as people seek the comfort & companionship of puppies, cats, & more. I’m calling for a crackdown by the FTC to deter these fraudsters & return money to consumers. https://t.co/SlTI2e14NF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Facebook must now decide what it values more: profits or holding Donald Trump accountable for espousing hate, disinformation, & violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Donald Trump is no voiceless victim. He earned his suspension from Facebook by spreading dangerous, violence-inciting lies. Our nation is still living with the consequences of the deadly insurrection Trump incited, & there is a clear & present danger that he will do it again. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This recall is doing right by consumers—but only belatedly, after putting children at deep risk. Peloton owes its customers money & apologies. https://t.co/qHCXErEAJA — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Facebook’s decision sets a minimal marker for truth & decency. — PolitiTweet.org
