“I love the inflation.” Maybe the only true words from Trump about the Iran War. He loves our misery. Stupid & cruel—hallmarks of this administration. Trump is flailing as he sinks deeper into military & political quicksand, causing rising costs & pain.
Official Twitter account of U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, proudly working for the people of Connecticut.
- New script, same goal. Judicial nominees warp their answers because Trump refuses to acknowledge he lost the 2020 election. The law doesn't dictate the results of an election—the people do.
00:00 - Replying to @SenBlumenthalThe resources to pay for these wounds of war could come from the Department of Defense, not other disabled veterans. I will continue to fight for the Major Richard Star Act. 3
- Replying to @SenBlumenthalIf Republicans insist on an offset in funding, which actually is unnecessary, then it should come from the Department of Defense, which has trillions of dollars available. In fact, the relevant programs are part of the Department of Defense, not VA. 2/
- Correcting this injustice for combat-injured veterans should be done without depriving other veterans of benefits they need & deserve which this Republican package would do. 1/
- Judicial nominees gave us the White House script that deflects & distorts the truth—perpetuating the lie that the Capitol was not attacked on January 6th. Loyalty to the President seems more important than fealty to the facts.
00:00 - Too slow, too meager & too dangerous. The CFTC is showing once again that it’s nothing more than a tool of Kalshi & Polymarket, encouraging addictive gambling, fraudulent bets & national security risks rather protecting consumers & public safety.
- 80 bipartisan senators support the Major Richard Star Act. Secretary Pete Hegseth has endorsed it. DOD says they can afford it. Senate Republicans must stop blocking this bill.
00:00 - The brave officers who sprang to action in defense of the Capitol on January 6th are heroes not 'dirty cops.' President Trump's disdain for the law enforcers who defended our democracy is detestable.
- Hot cars can become death traps for children & pets. As summer heat descends, please remember to look before you lock. I’m also demanding DOT Sec. Duffy finally implement long-overdue rules to ensure car manufacturers install life-saving tech to prevent hot car deaths.
- Replying to @SenBlumenthalHe’ll have a torturous confirmation—with ferocious opposition from me & others. It should be bipartisan.
- Blanche is the most disgraceful, corrupt nominee for AG in American history. Instead of enforcing the law, he has championed Trump’s breaking it. Nothing has been too shamefully low, degrading & disgracing the entire DOJ.Breaking News: President Trump formally nominated Todd Blanche as attorney general, setting up a confirmation fight. nyti.ms/4xihyes
- Replying to @SenBlumenthalI’m proud to work with @RepMaxwellFrost the bicameral Right to Record Act that will strengthen the right to record, observe, & peacefully protest—creating real enforcement tools for the protections of the First Amendment that lay the foundation for our democracy. 3
