As a country, we vowed to never forget, & we honor that vow today by remembering the men & women who were taken from us. I invite you to join me in remembering them, praying for their families, & taking time to reflect on the sacrifices that so many have made for our freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, we remember the men & women whose lives were taken that day, the first responders, including many who lost their own lives,who rushed towards danger to save the lives of their neighbors, & our military service members who have been fighting to protect us in the years since — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Eighteen years ago today, nearly 3,000 innocent people, including at least 12 Delawareans, were killed by terrorists in New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia – changing all of our lives forever. https://t.co/5IvSmajAMb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We can always do more to support those who serve, including passing bills that improve the quality of health care, retirement benefits, and more for veterans, service members, and their families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Great to meet with DE Veterans of Foreign Wars today to discuss the critical work they do advocating for veterans in DE and around the country. https://t.co/XN3C4JFQ6Q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m grateful for their willingness to share their stories and their tireless advocacy, and I’m proud to stand with them to drive progress on these issues! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This afternoon, I sat down with representatives from @ACSCANDE to discuss the importance of research into new generations of therapies, access to early screening and comprehensive care, and the alarming increase in youth tobacco use. https://t.co/Tsauua6Yjn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

They reminded me how important it is that we extend funding for community health centers, which allows them to serve 50,000 patients every year. The work you all do is critical to the health of our state, and I’ll never stop fighting on your behalf! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Looking forward to a full day of meetings with Delawareans in town to share with me the issues and policies they’re passionate about. This morning, I was happy to reconnect with leaders from @WestsideHealth, Henrietta Johnson Medical Center, and La Red Health Center. https://t.co/yYo4JNqmmP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The House is acting. The Senate should do the same. It’s past time to address our gun violence epidemic. https://t.co/EHAm61iHXP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Just left @delartmuseum, which received a $15,000 @NEAarts grant to support artistic presentations on gender equality in the Caribbean. At the museum, @NEAArtsChair & I joined @ArtsDelaware Director Paul Weagraff for a discussion on the impact of the arts in our communities. https://t.co/Z3vveI4yc4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It’s time that we act. If President Trump is willing to lead, take a position, and stick with it, we can pass gun safety legislation. The American people deserve no less. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Odessa shooter failed a background check. I introduced *bipartisan* legislation that would make sure that state law enforcement is promptly notified when someone fails a background check. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We lost over 50 more Americans in mass shootings in August, including the tragedies in Dayton, El Paso, and Odessa. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The American people want Congress and the Administration to take action to address gun violence. The House has already acted – they passed gun safety legislation. The Senate is back in session today and should do the same. https://t.co/eAme34hIeP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Unfortunately, President Trump makes abrupt decisions without knowing the context or region, and without relying on the advice of skilled diplomats and generals. That needs to change so we can all work together to find an enduring political agreement to end the war. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I don’t have a problem with the Trump Admin trying to resolve our conflict in Afghanistan through negotiations with the Taliban. But our President isn’t listening to his generals, diplomats, or the intelligence community while doing so. https://t.co/1ttgFimFLD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m in #WilmingtonDE today with Chairman Mary Anne Carter from @NEAarts to hear about the impact of NEA grants here. We just visited the @thegrandwilm, recipient of a $15,000 NEA grant to support sensory-friendly programs for audiences of all ages and abilities. https://t.co/irVQI0BYDq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The American people overwhelmingly support commonsense gun safety laws like expanded background checks. It’s time for us to take bipartisan, commonsense steps to protect our communities, but in order to get GOP support, President Trump needs to lead. https://t.co/GjZ88L7VpK — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I was in #NewarkDE with @RepLBR for @ComcastPhillyNJ’s unveiling of its new customer support center. This modern facility will be home to 700+ employees right here in the First State. Comcast’s decision to invest, operate & grow here is a testament to Delaware’s workforce! https://t.co/kNmekwuqjZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Visited the Challenge Program today to hear more on its mission to offer vocational training & mentorship to young people in #WilmingtonDE. Participants aren’t just learning skills to help get a job – they’re acquiring life skills that'll help them during the rest of their lives. https://t.co/1bSWH7gtxb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Bipartisan support for gun safety legislation is growing, and there is an opportunity for the President to lead. As the Senate prepares to return to DC, I will continue working directly w/ my Republican colleagues and with Admin officials to try and find a bipartisan way forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This commonsense legislation would simply provide states with information to help them enforce existing laws against individuals who attempt to purchase firearms but are prohibited from owning guns. https://t.co/IKX7npJjQe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In addition to working to expand background checks, I'm focused on building support for a bipartisan bill that I have w/ @SenToomey, the NICS Denial Notification Act, & I've been encouraged by recent conversations I’ve had w/ Senate Republicans and Admin officials about the bill — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In the last week, I've had constructive conversations w/ Trump Admin officials & @SenToomey, @Sen_JoeManchin, @ChrisMurphyCT, & @LindseyGrahamSC, among others, about potential legislative proposals that are positive steps forward & meaningfully improve our gun safety laws. — PolitiTweet.org
