Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A reminder that you're invited to join federal and state officials to discuss the @EPA's proposal to add Blades, Delaware, as a national Superfund site. The meeting is tonight from 6:30 to 8:00 at the Blades Fire Hall at 200 E. 5th Street. https://t.co/ATdrozwtOc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

That’s not all – this bill also simplifies the federal student aid process because, as many of you now, the FAFSA forms are currently way too complicated and make it harder for students to get the federal aid they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

BIG NEWS FOR @DelStateUniversity – the Senate just passed a bipartisan agreement I reached with Democrats and Republicans in the Senate to PERMANENTLY fund DSU and HBCUs around the country. This is a big deal! https://t.co/rbKb1RbHwU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

So proud to represent @DelStateUniv in the Senate! Go Hornets! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I was honored to meet @SudanPMHamdok, the first Sudanese leader to visit Washington in 34 years. As Sudan undergoes a historic political transition, I look forward to supporting Hamdok's ambitious reform agenda and greater freedom for the Sudanese people. https://t.co/wwYDMLGLug — PolitiTweet.org

At 8:45am, @SenMikeLee and I will join @BrookingsInst to discuss placing safeguards on facial recognition technology. Watch our conversation online: https://t.co/DwqLX27XZA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

There are real public safety benefits to facial recognition technology, but our Fourth Amendment privacy rights must be protected. My bill with @SenMikeLee would strike the right balance by setting clear rules around certain federal uses of the technology. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

That’s not all, though. This legislation will also simplify the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, for 20 million American families, and streamline income-driven repayment for nearly 8 million borrowers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

HBCUs like @DelStateUniv have played a critical role in helping to ensure that every Delawarean and every American is able to access higher education. This will help ensure that these critical institutions are able to thrive for years to come. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

BIG NEWS for HBCUs, including @DelStateUniv - we just reached a bipartisan agreement to make *permanent* $255 million in annual funding for historically black colleges and universities & minority serving institutions! — PolitiTweet.org

His answers – and lack thereof – only confirmed my conclusion that he is not fit for an appellate judgeship. #CourtsMatter — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I questioned one of President Trump’s most concerning judicial nominees yet: Andrew Brasher, who has a troubling record of working against LGBTQ rights, health care access for women, and basic voting rights protections. https://t.co/hM3CnCYOI0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This is shameful. The same Trump Administration that gave away trillions in tax cuts to corporations and billionaires is now cutting off Americans who rely on food stamps. I’m going to fight this however I can. https://t.co/Y7FzwbEGZf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’ve also asked @usedgov *multiple* times for transparency on this process. The dept told my office that it had discharged the loans of 40% of the borrowers w/ a qualifying disability. But @NPR’s investigation shows only 28% have had their loans discharged https://t.co/1eaq7nyVZc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’ve called on @usedgov – led by @BetsyDeVosED - *multiple* times to automatically discharge student loans for Americans with permanent disabilities, including in a letter just a few months ago: https://t.co/dJHrwyCeZ9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This reporting from @NPR confirms that @usedgov still hasn’t automatically discharged outstanding student loans for Americans with permanent disabilities without any reasonable explanation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This is outrageous. If you suffer a permanent disability and are unable to work, you should not have to go through unnecessary bureaucratic red tape to get student loan relief, period. https://t.co/1eaq7nyVZc — PolitiTweet.org

So grateful to @NazaninBoniadi for participating in today’s Human Rights Caucus hearing where we discussed Iran’s detention of dual nationals & the regime’s egregious human rights violations. We will continue to demand that human rights be respected and upheld everywhere. https://t.co/huv9f5uj1g — PolitiTweet.org

I joined my colleagues in filing an amicus brief to the Supreme Court, urging the court to strike down Louisiana Act 630, which is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and would put women’s access to health care at risk not only in LA, but in all 50 states. https://t.co/7KjhEBOcYm — PolitiTweet.org

I hope the Senate will put fidelity to the country & the Constitution over loyalty to the President, consider the facts, and treat this inquiry with the seriousness it deserves. https://t.co/0ukEbwiJFl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The question now is how Congress will respond. This isn’t business as usual, & it is profoundly dangerous for any of us to pretend otherwise. It is my hope that my colleagues in both parties will think about what role they want to play at this moment in our country’s history. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Over two weeks of testimony, career diplomats, decorated veterans & the President’s own appointees presented a consistent set of facts: The President intentionally abused his power to pressure Ukraine to investigate his political opponent—& he used foreign aid as a bribe to do it — PolitiTweet.org
