Strong support for cancer research is one of Melissa Marottoli Hogan’s lasting legacies—10 years after her tragic passing—due to the courage, generosity & grace of her family & friends. Sold out, Gala For A Cure, in Branford last night drew hundreds to fight this disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Hugely successful Associated Irish Societies Ball supporting the New Haven St. Patrick’s Day Parade—6th oldest in the nation, & one of the biggest. Proud to march every year. — PolitiTweet.org

The Bushnell is back, big time, as shown by its Ovations Gala&steadily growing audiences. Grit, guts&hard work from staff, board, donors, artists&employees enabled it to weather the pandemic storm. Proud to help lead the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant program, which helped too. — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing celebration of Black History & Heritage at Mount Zion Church in Hamden last night. Awesome music, poetry, essays, & much more—a lot presented by incredible young people. Thank you for sharing! — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful Waterbury St. Patrick’s Day Ceremony & Parade—cool & windy but warm-hearted. Grateful to a great Irish American community! https://t.co/udfMxUfb6h — PolitiTweet.org

Walgreens deserves a firestorm of outrage—the proper prescription for its malady of spine & guts. Or maybe moral blindness. It’s putting profits over people. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Consumers can tell Walgreens what they think of its consummate craven caving to hard right legal puppets. They should vote with their feet, & pocketbooks. My own business is going to competitors committed to women’s health. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Walgreens’ corporate cowardice is unconscionable—a dangerous disservice to women’s health care. It’s likely to be a net money loser in the long run & cost steeply in credibility & brand value. It’s putting profits over people. Like many others, I’ll shop elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Wonderful to be with long-standing friends like Tim Curtin at the St. Patrick’s Day Grand Marshal Dinner in Stamford. Sold out & high spirited—proud to be there. https://t.co/dWCHprqdEJ — PolitiTweet.org

Companies should be clamoring to withdraw from Russia—stopping their support of a state terrorism apparatus. More CEOs must see the patriotic & moral duty, as well as self-interest, in revoking their Russian business. I'll continue to pursue measures to incentivize this exodus. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No business as usual. Companies continuing to trade with Russia & bolster its economy is utterly unacceptable. Company leadership must take a tough stand against Putin’s criminal, genocidal invasion of Ukraine.  https://t.co/WDXGKsnbZb — PolitiTweet.org

I am proud to have helped secure the $250,000 in federal funding to provide 12,000 students with new books & will keep fighting to deliver more resources so that communities across CT can promote literacy & reading to all students. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

A love of reading will last a lifetime, which is why I’m proud to celebrate Books Across Stamford today. Reading is not only an academic skill—it helps children develop empathy, build strong relationships, & expand their imaginations to become creative problem solvers. https://t.co/bzkJEFc2sD — PolitiTweet.org

Meta’s pulling kids into risky virtual realms is unacceptable. Driven purely by profit, this platform creates dangers to children’s physical & mental health. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Passengers & crew deserve to know the air they’re breathing is safe & toxin-free. My legislation, the Cabin Air Safety Act, takes action where the FAA & airline industry haven’t—requiring air detector & monitoring equipment, incident reporting, & investigations. https://t.co/08wJvJeVuN — PolitiTweet.org

#WomensHistoryMonth is a celebration of trailblazers past & present who inspire us to break down barriers & shatter glass ceilings. We must continue to advance women’s equality by fighting for reproductive freedom, paycheck fairness, paid leave, & more. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I’ve seen the carnage caused when guns are unsecured & unsafely stored—suicides, accidental deaths, school shootings. These deaths & injuries—particularly of children—can be prevented by passing Ethan's Law & requiring responsible, safe firearm storage.https://t.co/GdR2MBFrRz — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Tech giants have long turned a blind eye to horrific harms & dangers on their platforms. Sec. 230 gives them broad legal immunity to continue doing so—demanding serious Congressional action. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

This hearing will examine Big Tech’s expansive Sec. 230 legal immunities & opportunities for reform. I look forward to chairing my Subcommittee’s first hearing to carefully consider tech’s liability shield. https://t.co/nbDpQ9ZR72 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

We cannot wait any longer to pass the ERA joint resolution. Generations have fought for this Amendment—& I’ve been a long, proud supporter. I asked Trinity College student Thursday Williams about what she would tell others in her generation about the importance of the ERA. https://t.co/h5VtuJJe0K — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

Thanks to the Conard High School students & staff who joined yesterday’s discussion on teen dating violence. It’s so important we have candid, honest conversations about what it means to be in a healthy relationship & the lasting harms of domestic violence. #TDVAM https://t.co/7UP57tcAV1 — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

I am deeply saddened to learn that one of CT’s own, Elan Ganeles, was killed in Israel last night. I strongly condemn this violence & hate—which only sows tragedy & grief. May Elan’s memory be a blessing & a reminder that we must all work towards peace. https://t.co/9KWne0TeOJ — PolitiTweet.org

Electric Boat’s briefing yesterday showed their professional prowess & dedication—& the need for more skilled workers. Our entire defense industrial base is at risk without increased investment in training. https://t.co/bIjpszPYxd — PolitiTweet.org

This legal stretch also looms in the shadow of SCOTUS being ready to revoke relief from tens of millions of hardworking Americans. Education in this country shouldn’t come with the crush of an ever-growing mountain of student loan debt. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

State AGs are seeking a special status on standing well beyond the most elastic solicitude for states' rights conceivable to the founders or common sense.  As much as I love AGs going to court, they get no free pass on standing. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal

No state AG has sued the federal government more often than I did during my 20 years in the CT job, but I’m alarmed & appalled by the stretch in standing sought in the student debt challenge. https://t.co/foJLZeKiF7 — PolitiTweet.org
