@SarahGamard @ChrisEvans I hope they can tune in and watch! We should really have @ChrisEvans come to Delaware, too... — PolitiTweet.org

Today at 5:30 PM ET: Join @ChrisEvans and me for a conversation on Instagram Live about @ASP & the critical role it can play in getting more Americans engaged in the important issues of the day. #AStartingPoint https://t.co/lc6cGZZ02W — PolitiTweet.org

The final day John Lewis, the conscience of Congress, will lie in state in the U.S. Capitol. Rest in power, my friend. https://t.co/1R5qUhUdl9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This pandemic called for a national response and mobilization. Our country deserved – and needed – a clear, coherent, and organized federal response. This administration has simply failed to do that. https://t.co/mJzUz3xkMa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It should not be this difficult to say that a President shouldn’t accept or solicit foreign interference in an American election. — PolitiTweet.org

Although other producers have benefited from @USDA relief, shellfish producers have yet to receive assistance. That's why I led a bipartisan coalition of my colleagues from Delmarva in requesting support for the struggling shellfish industry, including clam & oyster producers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Nearly 70% of all seafood consumed in the United States is sold at restaurants and hospitality venues. As COVID-19 forces many of these restaurants and other food service establishments across Delmarva to close or reduce capacity, our seafood industries are suffering huge losses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

So, in conclusion, this bill is completely inadequate, and it’s two months late. Rent and mortgage payments are due within days. The COVID unemployment boost expired, and all Republicans have to offer is too little, too late. Our country is in crisis and deserves better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The GOP COVID bill does feature a number of encouraging small business priorities, including my P4 Act, which would offer a second round of forgivable loans to the smallest businesses with the most need, but overall, there’s not enough small business relief. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The GOP COVID bill tries to leverage funding to force K-12 schools to reopen, regardless of local public health conditions and doesn’t even directly expand internet access to support students whose schools need to rely on remote learning. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The GOP COVID bill cuts the $600 weekly federal unemployment support to $200 per week – gutting relief for millions of workers who are unemployed through no fault of their own. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It includes no funding for nutrition assistance, even though many Americans are going hungry, and it includes no help for millions of renters who are facing eviction at the end of the month. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The GOP COVID bill fails to support state and local governments, many of which are facing deep budget cuts and layoffs. Without help, that will lead to layoffs of state and local employees – everyone from teachers and first responders to 911 operators. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Finally, Republicans have put forward a bill for COVID response, more than 2 months after the House passed its bill to help our country through this pandemic. So – what did Republicans come up with after 2 months and after expanded federal unemployment expired? THREAD: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Attorney General Barr is testifying in the House today. I hope he explains why the Department of Justice is trying to strike down the Affordable Care Act in the middle of a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

On a bipartisan basis, Congress recently passed my bill to strengthen support for veterans treatment courts. Those who have served and sacrificed for us deserve the help and treatment they need. This is a crucial step in the right direction. https://t.co/Pk8utmm55i https://t.co/mKu8WJ5Nag — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We should never give up on John Lewis' pursuit of a more fair and more equal America. https://t.co/U8N2WbvPIq https://t.co/X6MGIcWMKL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Congressman John Lewis could not be more deserving of the honor to lie in state. He devoted his life to challenging our country to live up to its promise of equality. May his legacy be a blessing and an inspiration for every American. https://t.co/5yooDFYKEa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

COVID is still raging & our economy is in a recession, so why are Republicans trying to cut the additional, COVID-related unemployment insurance for millions of Americans down to $200/week? Americans are already struggling. This would make things worse. https://t.co/FY9phqqSY6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Congress should learn from Wisconsin and listen to the *bipartisan* advocacy for #votebymail: https://t.co/glDY0zD2zw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Vote-by-mail shouldn’t be a partisan issue. It should be about ensuring that every eligible American voter has the option to safely vote from home this November, if they choose. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We’ve already witnessed how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the voting process in Wisconsin. A record number of mail-in absentee ballots & dozens of new COVID-19 cases linked to in-person voting demonstrated just how much we need to do to protect our election this November. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m working with @SenatorWicker and our Senate colleagues to pass the #CORPSAct, a bold expansion of @AmeriCorps that will provide opportunities for Americans to help our country recover from COVID-19 by providing food assistance, tutoring, and more community-based support. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A 17 to 1 return on investment? No wonder expanding national service has strong, bipartisan support. #Stand4Service — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Last week, the House made history by passing the #NoBanAct to end the President’s hateful Muslim ban and reunite thousands of American families. Now it’s the Senate’s turn to stand on the right side of history. We should take up and pass this bill immediately. https://t.co/clSFRVEU2P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

As we fight COVID-19 at home and abroad now, the Senate must also improve global health security to prepare for the next pandemic. That’s why Sen. @RoyBlunt and I are working to pass the #GlobalChildThriveAct to keep kids healthy in the face of disasters. https://t.co/kZqhUMlEoO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This week, Congress passed a bill to improve access to services for our veterans. Did you know that DE launched the first statewide veterans treatment court program in 2011? Hear why these programs are important and why Congress decided to strengthen support for them nationally: https://t.co/EEVqt9Wfgh — PolitiTweet.org
