Today, I led a bipartisan letter encouraging my colleagues on the Appropriations Committee to think forward and invest in Manufacturing USA, a public-private partnership program which enhances our supply chain and creates well paying jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We need to activate American manufacturing so that the American supply chain can efficiently deliver PPE, diagnostic equipment, and – eventually – a COVID-19 vaccine. https://t.co/luW5HeEl7G — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans and Democrats should be able to work together to protect the right to vote and expand #votebymail. If we don’t act now, all of America will suffer like Wisconsin did. https://t.co/iRRZ2JfgrB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

MUST READ: "If states and the federal government don’t do more to help voters in November — starting now, with urgency — the barriers for some of them may be insurmountable." The time is now to make #votebymail an option for every voter. https://t.co/lT4QqYIZ3C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I'm a Democrat and @BillKristol is a lifelong conservative, but we agree that coronavirus denialism from President Trump and too many Republicans in Congress will hurt our economy and cost American lives. @usatodayopinion https://t.co/yWQvwCyEzQ — PolitiTweet.org

As we heard in Senate hearings last year, courts have eroded patent rights, discouraging the very type of medical diagnostic innovation that arms our health care professionals for this type of crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We cannot afford to be caught flat-footed in the next pandemic. Important read by Judge Paul Michel on how our nation’s patent system – once the world’s “gold standard” – no longer incentivizes research and development of medical diagnostics and tests. https://t.co/If7HTozL7N — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Women should have access to birth control, and that access shouldn’t depend on getting their boss’s permission. https://t.co/wHcgGLwOed — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Imagine if our President had been focused on that, instead of packing the courts with inexperienced, partisan judges? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The same day that Justin Walker interviewed at the White House with Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell, the CDC issued an alert advising that it was monitoring an outbreak in Wuhan, China. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

#ThankYouNurses today and every day for fighting to keep us safe and healthy. As we mark #NationalNursesDay during this pandemic, we thank you for your hard work, dedication to patients, and bravery on the front lines. https://t.co/x0pkYpHYxW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

“We can’t spend our way out of our problems, but we can serve our way out of them together” A great read from @AnnMaura and @ericjtanenblatt on how national service can deliver the #COVID19 response we need. #NationalServiceWorks https://t.co/i5PMFsN4MM — PolitiTweet.org

We can emerge from this crisis stronger than before by promoting American innovation. Evidence continues to mount that our bipartisan, bicameral FORWARD Act will support more R&D—especially at startups. Read more from @ITIFdc here: https://t.co/VBxtPGhWYX https://t.co/9WhvdKGmYT — PolitiTweet.org

I will be voting no. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Justin Walker is not fit for a life-tenured judgeship on the D.C. Circuit. He lacks sufficient litigation experience, he’s displayed partisan, extreme views, & he has made clear that he believes the ACA – the law securing health care coverage for millions – should be struck down. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Justin Walker believes that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional. In the midst of a pandemic, Leader McConnell wants to appoint a judge that wants to strike down the law that gave health care coverage to millions of Americans. https://t.co/EXxWppfBeT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In a 2018 article, Justin Walker wrote that the FBI should not be independent, and the Director “must think of himself as an agent of the President.” It is striking that he would not answer me when I asked whether a President can direct the FBI to investigate political opponents — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This morning’s Senate Judiciary hearing has made it clear that Justin Walker is an inexperienced, partisan nominee. Senate Republicans should not rubberstamp his nomination to the D.C. Circuit. https://t.co/h1a7P3umJ1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We should – in the middle of a health care and an economic crisis – not be having a hearing on a partisan judicial nominee for a vacancy that won’t even be available for 119 days. In the last 119 days, a quarter million people have died around the world in the COVID-19 pandemic. https://t.co/c61THoSItk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Justin Walker was not qualified for the district court seat he filled six months ago, & he has said that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional. Leader McConnell should not rush to install this partisan nominee to a life-tenured judgeship on the D.C. Circuit amid a pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m stepping into a Judiciary Committee hearing for Justin Walker – an under-qualified nominee being rushed to the D.C. Circuit. The Senate should be focused on relief to workers & small businesses, but Leader McConnell has instead set an agenda of rubberstamping partisan judges. https://t.co/mWybiS5Bbv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We have a ready, diverse pool of returned @PeaceCorps volunteers, current @AmeriCorps members, and hundreds of thousands of Americans who previously applied with AmeriCorps. We should mobilize them to provide the pandemic response we need. https://t.co/HONGopHoCR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The vital work of nonprofits in the #COVID19 crisis inspired me to fight to expand their access to charitable giving. That’s why @SenatorLankford and I are working to increase the limit on a new 2020 charitable tax deduction for non-itemizers beyond the current level of $300. — PolitiTweet.org
