7/ To get lasting change we can’t just lock up those convicted of these crimes, but must also work to combat bias & bigotry. The NO HATE Act would allow courts to implement alternative sentencing—requiring people to do educational training/community service to counter their hate.
8/ The NO HATE Act has support across the ideological, political, & geographic spectrums. I’m proud of the bipartisan coalition we’ve built in Congress & am grateful for the advocates working tirelessly to stop this violence & get this legislation passed. https://t.co/0TtW3f7iuI

MBS cannot be allowed to get away with monstrous murder. This new report adds to a mounting pile of evidence of that the Crown Prince is culpable for Khashoggi’s killing & cover-up.

As Tabitha, a 19 year old advocate from @March4OurLives, shared with me this week—Nothing less than everything is at stake with Judge Barrett’s nomination. She is right. Real rights for real people would be lost with Amy Coney Barrett on the Supreme Court. https://t.co/mxL7RDxofs

Hundreds of children orphaned because of Trump & his Admin’s brazen, premeditated cruelty—or as they heinously think of it “political strategy.” All who are a part of these horrid humans rights abuses must answer for their actions. https://t.co/l2pRTM87Mc
The Curran family’s wish for Judge Barrett—please protect Conner & the millions of other people who rely on the ACA. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/bwUuhjPeFr

Big Tech promised that during a pandemic & economic crisis things would be different. Surprise… it's not. I’m joining @GWIDPP to discuss #COVID19 disinfo & Big Tech's inaction, which often puts profits over people—endangering lives. WATCH LIVE: https://t.co/7vNz33XqdV
On #NationalMilitarySpouseAppreciationDay, we recognize the unyielding support spouses & partners provide men & women in uniform. Their strength is the backbone of our military.
Hunger is everywhere, just like COVID-19. I visited mobile CT Food Banks in Hamden & East Haven this week. 700+ families were served & countless others turned away when food ran out. Heartfelt thanks to the volunteers—more federal support is necessary. https://t.co/mnJNPcGXo9

Proud to join @SenBaldwin on legislation that will use the Defense Production Act to scale up the manufacturing of medical supplies.

I strongly support & encourage all attending vigils in other CT communities for your powerful advocacy for asylum seekers & other immigrants. I stand with you to reject this policy of fear & cruelty & keep the lights of liberty shining.
Proud to join CT’s leaders&others gathered in our state tonight to reject ICE’s mass arrests&other tactics that senselessly punish&rip apart families. The Trump admin has pursued a policy of fear&cruelty. These #ICEraids double down on despicable, draconian enforcement tactics. https://t.co/kpv52YR3ig

Truly tragic. Another migrant child dies after being taken into gov’t custody. Secretary of Homeland Security must immediately provide a full account of what happened & how they will ensure proper medical care for all detained immigrant kids going forward. https://t.co/mCr1sEGRM1
Added reason for alarm— & independent scrutiny before the Boeing 737 MAX 8 is allowed to fly again. As the FAA’s credibility crisis deepens, the urgency of legislative reform rises. We should end safety outsourcing, slipshod training, & systemic lapses. https://t.co/0yN4j2oXpu

“How many times does it take to learn? What USAG urgently needs now is a leader who is ready to listen to&seek input from survivors. Moral authority, unimpeachable integrity&independence from wrongdoing are key. More athletes&survivors on the USAG board would help ensure this.”
Judge Kavanaugh’s hearing begins today. Tune in LIVE as I share why I am deeply troubled by this rushed & reckless nomination process.
@EversourceCT is on notice. Consumers will not stand for unconscionable rate hikes while reaping the benefits of federal tax breaks.
This measure will assure the integrity & independence of an investigation vital to national security & public trust in the rule of law. Today's bipartisan Committee vote is historic, in the highest traditions of the Senate as the public expects it

We cannot avert our eyes. Time to confront this horrific crisis with action to hold Assad - as well as Russian & Iranian enablers - accountable.

Disarray at Facebook - amid apparent downsizing of security team - make the need for full transparency before Congress more urgent than ever. https://t.co/4xtpcbJFxb
Obstruction of Justice 101. Pres. Trump’s apparent witness tampering is a textbook example – reminiscent of mob boss tactics I encountered as a prosecutor. https://t.co/cHbN5ZzS5C
