Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Proud to honor our nation’s service members and veterans in the Senate last night. Thank you @SenatorIsakson for your leadership on veterans issues and for hosting this event. #VeteransDay https://t.co/ZB7VGZjL6f — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Opioid-related deaths have reached epidemic levels in Delaware and across the country. We must use every tool at our disposal to address this crisis, which is why I am excited to see this bill advance to help stop the cycle of addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, companion legislation to my bipartisan EFFORT Act with @SenCoryGardner was unanimously approved by a key Senate committee and now moves to the Senate floor. This important bill would support research to deepen our understanding of opioid addiction. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The House-passed, bipartisan #VAWA would improve the federal government’s response to gender-based violence & includes provisions from my bill with @SenToomey that would ensure state & local law enforcement are notified when prohibited domestic abusers attempt to buy firearms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The House passed #VAWA in April with *bipartisan* support. The Senate should take up & pass this landmark piece of legislation that will help victims escape abuse. I urge Leader McConnell to put politics aside & provide much-needed support to domestic abuse survivors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

With the help of federal funding, these patents highlight impressive tech being invented at @DelStateUniv. https://t.co/hDrfHkgiUX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Congrats to Dr. Mukti Rana and @DelStateUniv graduate students Jaime Cardona and Andrew Voshell on being awarded patents for their inventions on new material and design for uncooled infrared detectors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The United States steadfastly supports Israel and we should urge de-escalation on all sides. Continued violence only harms civilians and places the possibility of peace further out of reach. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Israel’s Iron Dome defense system, which has intercepted the vast majority of the rockets, is a reminder of the importance of strong U.S.-Israel cooperation to protect Israel’s security and its ability to defend itself. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

For the second day in a row, Israel is facing a barrage of rocket attacks fired from Gaza. Schools and businesses in southern Israel and even in Tel Aviv have been forced to close to ensure the safety of civilians. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Health Insurance Marketplace is a valuable resource to explore the different health care plans and discounts that are available for the upcoming year. #GetCovered before December 15 at https://t.co/zx2BDFwh98. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We can’t continue to do nothing as we witness tragedy after tragedy in this country through senseless gun violence. Let’s finally do something to make American families and communities safer. Read my op-ed in @delawareonline: https://t.co/N4cLBe0Ry8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We should take up and pass bipartisan legislation – that has already passed the House – to strengthen our background system. We should also pass my bipartisan bill with @SenToomey to ensure local authorities are notified if someone who’s prohibited from purchasing a gun tries to. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It’s clear that we need to enact laws to make it more difficult for deadly weapons to find their way into the wrong hands. Delawareans – on both sides of the aisle – agree. They’re ready for and deserve action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

They are American in every way except for what is on paper. They deserve to be respected and welcomed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Mr. President, have you met any Dreamers? I have. They are not “hardened criminals” – in fact, having a serious criminal record disqualifies a person for DACA. Dreamers attend our nation’s universities, work for American companies, and serve in the United States military. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Thanks, Dennis, for your kind words in the @CapeGazette. Addressing climate change should be a bipartisan priority - we’ve got to work together to solve this immense challenge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Bolivian people deserve a peaceful, timely, & democratic transition, and I encourage @OAS_official to remain engaged to ensure the formation of an interim government and free & fair elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m watching the developments in #Bolivia closely, and I urge calm in the streets of La Paz & across the country. All political leaders in Bolivia should clearly denounce violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I encourage the government of #Chile to engage constructively with peaceful, nonviolent protestors. Any crackdown on peaceful protests by police or soldiers is unacceptable. Fundamental rights and freedoms must be respected. https://t.co/mMWnjbSDOI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, the Supreme Court heard oral argument on #DACA. The Trump Administration pulled the rug out from under over 700,000 Dreamers when it arbitrarily ended the program, and this litigation will decide whether it was legal for him to do it. — PolitiTweet.org

For so many of us, #VeteransDay is personal. Whether you’re a veteran, or someone you’ve grown up with, or loved or lost, is a veteran – today touches all of us. Thank you to all of our veterans and God bless. https://t.co/dEb6z0x1Pi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Thank you to all our veterans and God bless. #VeteransDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Take a moment today to reflect about the sacrifices our veterans have made. Volunteer to help veterans and their families who are in need, or sign up to help families with loved ones deployed overseas. It doesn’t take much, but it means the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

While we may never be able to fully repay our veterans for their service and sacrifice, there are things that all of us can do, today and every day, to support veterans and their families here at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

On #VeteransDay, we pause to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of those who have given so much in the service of our freedom. We owe our veterans and their families our utmost respect and thanks. https://t.co/i3Pyw9Yo7b — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Congratulations to Limen House on 50 years of dedicated service! Last night’s Amethyst Ball was an opportunity to celebrate this incredible milestone and to raise awareness and support to help fight alcoholism and drug addiction. https://t.co/Dx77JiwX5D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

For 244 years, the United States Marine Corps has answered the call to protect our country no matter where, no matter when. Thank you to the men and women of the @USMC for your service, selflessness, and sacrifice. #SemperFi #HappyBirthdayMarines — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Celebrating 175 years of faithful worship at @BethelAME_Wilm! Glad to be with the congregation to honor its many acts of service to our community. #netde https://t.co/x17NroO5Iz — PolitiTweet.org
