LIVE: Corruption takes center stage. Live Nation/Ticketmaster exploits fans, pressures artist, & controls venues—solidifying their monopoly & sending prices skyrocketing. We’re working to break up this behemoth. https://t.co/xPICTd20Ur

The authors of a new Perspective write that a further digital divide affecting financially, racially, and geographically marginalized groups may develop in the use of health care AI, but some policy approaches could help reduce that gap.

Trump is shortchanging VA police officers with pay downgrades & staff cuts. I’m introducing legislation to protect them—along with other VA staff, veterans & their families.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Trump’s pet projects are a recipe for disastrous waste. The billions being thrown at the President’s ego-driven boondoggles could be spent on bringing down costs for housing, health care, education, & more.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

With skyrocketing energy prices, American consumers need relief. Families deserve money back in their pockets—yet the Trump Administration’s top energy official sympathizes with the oil & gas industries.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

A product that does devastating harm. Executives that know it, deny it, & do nothing—preferring to profit. That was Big Tobacco’s business model. Now it’s Big Tech’s. I helped lead AG’s suing Big Tobacco. Now I’m fighting Big Tech with the Kids Online Safety Act.

Maria Young shares her story of strength regaining her life after battling COVID-19, spending over 4 months in the hospital—before we had life-saving vaccines & treatments.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Courage still counts. Kudos to law firms showing spine & standing up to Trump’s illegal bullying. As for firms that cravenly caved, you’ll be accountable—my PSI investigation into these malign deals will continue. https://t.co/pQAnt8aHga

ICE’s training program is now deficient, defective, & broken—teaching recruits to violate the Constitution & endangering the lives of Americans. Ryan Schwank, a former ICE employee, shares powerful testimony.

Trump’s unilateral tariffs were not only illegal, they were devastating to consumers buying cars to commute to work, groceries to feed their families, energy to heat their homes, even clothing for their kids.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

How to test positive for stupid—eliminate lifesaving recommendations for vaccines. Sec. Kennedy must urgently reverse his new, unscientific vaccine schedule that eliminates universal recommendations for 6 vaccines & puts kids at risk from deadly diseases.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Republicans are waging a broader, calculated campaign to destroy the ACA & take away health insurance from millions of Americans. We must stop them.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

As Senator, I advocate for CT veterans when they are denied VA health care or benefits. 

But now the Trump VA has decided it won’t assist Congressional offices with casework despite it being an essential service.

The VA should do its job—& enable us to do ours.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

$250 million for a gilded White House ballroom.

$0 to help Americans afford health insurance.

Trump’s presidential priorities are crystal clear.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

You can’t make this stuff up—a demand for $230 million (taxpayer dollars) by President Trump, to be approved by top DOJ officials, his former personal lawyers. Head spinning chutzpah. Eye watering conflicts of interest. More corrupt self enrichment.

SNL got it right—showing Bondi’s well prepared combative refusal to answer our questions. Mikey Day, you’re welcome to join me on the Judiciary Committee any time—& maybe Bondi will answer more questions from you.

Also, call me if you hear from the FCC. https://t.co/Att68taS6n
