What’s the big deal about sustainable chemistry? We’ll ⚙️ support manufacturing jobs, ⚕help human health, and 🌎 protect our environment. https://t.co/vkDioT8pqK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

After many, many years of bipartisan work with @SenatorCollins, I’m thrilled that Congress has passed my bill to support sustainable chemistry. https://t.co/NSZZ1eyfSM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Mr. President, you argue that the Muslim ban makes us safer. It does not; in fact, it does the opposite. That’s why it’s opposed by national security professionals. The Senate should act and pass the #NoBanAct now. https://t.co/FsqunmQ9fu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The #NoBanAct passed the House on a bipartisan basis, and we should pass it in the Senate to undo the damage of this senseless policy. https://t.co/SZHXHcxU5w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

No. Mr. President, your travel ban keeps Americans from living with their spouses. It prevents doctors from coming here to fight COVID-19. It blocks parents from attending the funerals of their children. Have you met the American families separated by your cruel ban? I have. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This week, millions of Americans will receive the last $600 in expanded federal unemployment assistance. Next week, rent is due. The House put forward a plan for unemployment relief 2 months ago. We’re facing a tight deadline because too many Republicans refused the need to act https://t.co/fsaLWk6a0C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m proud to have supported the passage of the Senate’s annual defense bill, which includes key wins for Delawareans and for those bravely serving our Armed Forces. I’ll continue working across the aisle to ensure these provisions reach the President’s desk and become law. https://t.co/ePkhi6B5QN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This week, the Senate approved: ✅ A 3% pay increase for 10,000 Delawareans serving our military ✅ Improved access to care for Vietnam veterans exposed to Agent Orange ✅ A path to cleaning up PFAS chemicals near Dover AFB ✅ New aviation programs at HBCUs like @DelStateUniv — PolitiTweet.org

In Congress, it’s up to us to strike a balance. We need to provide an incentive for returning to work safely while continuing to support unemployed Americans. That’s what I’m pushing for in this next relief package. https://t.co/Kxe7yMgLo5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

At the same time, I speak with small business owners up and down our state every day who need a workforce so they can reopen their doors and rebuild from this crisis. We must ensure that our businesses can keep functioning. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Tomorrow, the $600 per week in enhanced unemployment benefits will end. Overnight, more than 55,000 Delawareans surviving on unemployment will lose 60% of their benefits. The middle of a recession and an ongoing pandemic is not the time to cut off this lifeline. — PolitiTweet.org

Our #GlobalChildThriveAct invests in children’s health and helps prepare for the next pandemic. Sen. @RoyBlunt and I are working with our colleagues to pass our bipartisan bill to improve global health security. — PolitiTweet.org

As we celebrate #ADA30, we must address ongoing challenges for people with disabilities ✅ eliminate barriers to employment ✅ ensure access to affordable health care ✅ guarantee the right to live independently — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

For 30 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act has improved rights and opportunities for people with disabilities. On today’s anniversary, we should not only celebrate the progress we’ve made, but strengthen our commitment to equal rights for people with disabilities. — PolitiTweet.org

Since 2015, when I stood on the Edmund Pettus Bridge with John Lewis 50 years after Bloody Sunday, we’ve been working to pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act. Yesterday, I joined @SenatorLeahy to reintroduce it in John’s name. We should honor him by passing it immediately. https://t.co/6a2bLOUTp4 — PolitiTweet.org

Right now though, only 303 out of the 1,100+ certified CDFIs are also PPP lenders. I’m calling for $1 billion in funding to CDFIs in the next relief package so we can get money to the communities that need it the most. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Stepping Stones in Wilmington, for example, is a credit union, CDFI, and PPP lender, providing services to limited-income communities at no cost – and has helped minority-owned businesses get through the COVID-19 crisis. https://t.co/xjZnOle4PD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We need to do more in Congress to make sure that minority-owned businesses get the federal relief they deserve. How can we do that? We can better reach these businesses through CDFIs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

If we target remaining PPP money in this way, we can help save endangered small businesses and the jobs they provide. Learn more @CNBC: https://t.co/URqcOrMM9m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

That’s why @SenatorCardin and I are working to pass legislation that would authorize a second round of forgivable PPP loans to the smallest and hardest-hit businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

PPP has helped the shops and restaurants at Rehoboth Beach and others, but it has been too little for many. With little cash reserves or access to credit, owners are facing the reality their businesses may not survive. — PolitiTweet.org
