I am deeply saddened that Sarah Hegazi – a prominent Egyptian LGBTQ rights activist – died yesterday. Sarah’s tragic death reminds us that the fight for LGBTQ rights is a truly international one, and we must continue the fight this #PrideMonth and beyond. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenWarren We’ve spent trillions to save our economy. Now, let’s ensure accountability. https://t.co/OuWHiMD4Xr — PolitiTweet.org

The CORE Act that @SenWarren, @SenBlumenthal, and I introduced will: ✅ increase transparency on COVID-19 stimulus funds ✅ protect inspectors general ✅ block conflicts of interest in aid to businesses — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Every penny of taxpayer money allocated by Congress for #COVID19 relief should go to families, communities & businesses in need, period. My bill with @SenWarren and @SenBlumenthal will ensure the Trump Admin sends aid to those who need it, not those with political connections. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, we have a generational opportunity to improve trust and relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve and this does not help. — PolitiTweet.org

This attempt to desecrate a memorial to fallen officers is unacceptable and does not reflect the amazing movement for civil rights taking place in our country. https://t.co/3SghPWibiA — PolitiTweet.org

My colleagues and I filed an amici brief in this case because people should be judged on their merit in the workplace, not their gender identity or sexual orientation. https://t.co/qTSEIa36os — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This morning, our country became a fairer place to work for LGBT people. The Supreme Court held that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects against employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. This is a victory for equality! — PolitiTweet.org

In conversations with small businesses and nonprofits up and down the state of Delaware, it’s become clear that many employers in vital sectors need more federal aid. That’s why I announced a bill to offer a second round of PPP loans to the small businesses with the most need. https://t.co/8czFbDFloB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

During a pandemic, the Trump administration rescinded protection against discrimination in health care for transgender people. No amount of lip service to Pride will change that. Actions speak louder than words. https://t.co/EhMm6jyGEZ — PolitiTweet.org

I’m using my account to promote Delaware voices. We’re calling it #DelawareSpeaksUp. I appreciate this insight from CJ as a father. I agree that now is the time to make change. If you’re a Delawarean that wants to share your thoughts, DM me a video message that I can post here. https://t.co/0URYBjrJpn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The #FLIGHTAct is just one of many steps we must take to ensure that those who lead our country also fully represent it. I hope to advance this legislation to expand diversity in the U.S. Armed Forces and support HBCUs like @DelStateUniv. https://t.co/0y65m8O0KS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

People of color are underrepresented in American military leadership—particularly at higher ranks and in specialties like aviation. As a whole, the Air Force is almost 20% African-American. But that diversity is deceptive: only 1.7% of Air Force pilots are black. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

My colleagues and I were moved by the remarks on race and diversity from General Charles Brown. Earlier this week, General Brown was unanimously confirmed as the Chief of Staff of the @usairforce. https://t.co/ZOYIwZNonV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

NEW: @RepAnthonyBrown, @RepLBR and I just introduced the bipartisan #FLIGHTAct. Our bill will provide resources for ROTC students at HBCUs like @DelStateUniv and ultimately help improve diversity in military leadership and in highly skilled sectors like aviation. — PolitiTweet.org

On this day, four years after 49 lives were taken in a horrific attack on the LGBTQ community in Orlando, I’m as committed as ever to standing with the LGBTQ community and passing real gun safety reforms. We need more than words, we need to #HonorThemWithAction and #DisarmHate. https://t.co/MYNsjJ66g7 — PolitiTweet.org

For his offensive statements, for his anti-civil rights views, for the threat his confirmation poses to health care access, I’m calling on the Senate to #StopWilson’s confirmation to the 5th Circuit. #CourtsMatter https://t.co/zhfGJftC3D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

All 12 Republicans on @senjudiciary just voted to advance another extreme partisan judge to our courts — Cory Wilson. #StopWilson — PolitiTweet.org

As we approach the anniversary of the horrific Emanuel AME shooting, let us recognize that we have so much more work to do as a nation—so much more to confront, to learn, and to address. Let us seize this moment so we may achieve meaningful change. — PolitiTweet.org

I met Polly Sheppard and Felicia Sanders during a Congressional Pilgrimage to South Carolina in 2016, where I was in awe of what they did—publicly forgive Dylann Roof for this act of evil. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I just finished a virtual reflection hosted by @FaithandPolitic with two remarkable survivors of the horrific mass shooting at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, where a white supremacist opened fire on a Bible study in 2015, killing nine Black Americans as they prayed together. https://t.co/rhCJTOgmzP — PolitiTweet.org

Me alegré mucho de ver este perfil de Capital Good Fund en el @WSJ que destaca la importancia de los préstamos pequeños en dólares y los prestamistas comunitarios. Me alegra que @cgfund se hayan expandido aquí y estén buscando delawareanos para ayudar. https://t.co/2ZemZvkORM — PolitiTweet.org

Conocí a la gente de @cgfund en 2015 y les animé a venir a Delaware. Con la ayuda de @Discover, Longwood Foundation y Stepping Stones FCU, ahora están aquí ayudando a los habitantes de Delaware con pequeños préstamos a bajo interés y cubriendo los costos del proceso de ciudadanía — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

With more than $100 billion in unspent Paycheck Protection Program funds, we should allow the smallest businesses that have the biggest loss in revenue to apply for a second round of PPP loans. My proposed legislation with @SenatorCardin and @SenatorShaheen would do just that. https://t.co/447lenhdey — PolitiTweet.org
