It’s critical that the Congress have a say not just in how we used force 18 years ago, but in how we use force today and in the future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

After the President's unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA, Iran's bad behavior has increased dramatically and our ability to rally our allies has decreased. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

If the President is contemplating using military force against Iran, he must come to Congress to seek authorization. And, as elected officials and policy leaders, we owe it to the men and women who fight overseas on our behalf to debate the use of force. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The authorizations to use military force Congress passed in 2001 and 2002 do not authorize war with Iran, and I do not think Iran can be linked to Al Qaeda, ISIS or other groups targeted by those AUMFs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Congress needs to ensure the executive branch seeks and gets the permission of the people’s branch before extending the authority to wage war to new geographies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Constitution divides war-making power and responsibility between Congress and the President for a good reason. Since 2001, far too much power has gone to Presidents of both parties when it comes to the use of military force. https://t.co/oIopS4yyEM — PolitiTweet.org

Great to meet with the MidAtlantic Farm Credit here in DC, including Walt Hopkins of @HopkinsCreamery and Travis Hastings of Laurel, who understand as producers the important role that @MidAtFarmCredit plays supporting agriculture across Delmarva. https://t.co/rJewc7gU1l — PolitiTweet.org

When I asked a room full of Delawareans to raise their hand if they had lost someone to an overdose or had their life profoundly changed by addiction, almost every hand went up. This crisis touches nearly everyone in our country and we need to work together to end it. https://t.co/9QKIOY3WvF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It’s so important that we take action to #ProtectOurElections from foreign interference. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m glad that FBI Director Wray is taking threats to our election seriously. Leader McConnell should follow his lead and bring bipartisan legislation to the floor that would invest in state and local election infrastructure. https://t.co/lSpt9Ss0sm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This sounds obvious, but in 33 states and territories, including Delaware, this doesn’t happen. This would save lives by empowering local police with valuable information to keep our communities safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The NICS Denial Notification Act is a simple, bipartisan bill that would require federal law enforcement to inform state and local law enforcement when someone fails a background check. https://t.co/7UjqcGHDVH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Special Counsel Mueller’s report confirms it—Russia interfered in the 2016 elections. It’s our job to make sure it doesn’t happen again in 2020. #ProtectOurElections — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Finally, Congress has taken action to permanently fund the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. We are forever indebted to the brave first responders who answered the call on September 11th and the dark days that followed. This was long overdue, but I’m proud we finally made this right — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Proud to have Delaware’s @hagleymuseum in the Senate today, sharing a few items from their impressive collection of more than 5000 patent models! Thanks to @HumanitiesAll for hosting today’s event and @NEHChair for the humanities programming that the NEH supports around our state https://t.co/YXTAfItmaN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We have less than 200 days before the first votes in 2020. We have passed ZERO bills to #ProtectOurElections. It’s time for the Senate to do our job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Inspired by the dedication & passion of the @DelawareFFA state officers I met with today. Agriculture is the backbone of Delaware’s economy & I’m so grateful that @NationalFFA continues to encourage young leaders to learn about the industry. https://t.co/TaNOMBWu6u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It was great to have lunch with my Delaware interns today. I'm proud of what they've accomplished so far and excited for their future. For info about interning in one of my offices, visit https://t.co/wEMbGnrZET #NetDE https://t.co/wJjhp59KvR — PolitiTweet.org

Delaware’s previous voting machines were some of the oldest and most vulnerable in the country, and these new ones will help ensure that every Delawarean’s vote is counted accurately and better protected. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Excited to see Delaware’s brand new voting machines on display at the state fair in Harrington! I worked with my Republican colleague, @SenatorLankford from Oklahoma, to invest in badly needed election security improvements around the country, including these machines. https://t.co/U8J5lKK3Ku — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

As people of faith, we are called upon to show humanity, kindness, & love. At the border, I saw faith in action when I met w/ Sister Norma Pimentel & volunteers from across the country at the Catholic Charities Respite Center. Their work & generosity reflect the best of America. https://t.co/9YxJXZnxXv — PolitiTweet.org

The warehouse with adults and children in cages resembles a dog kennel. The United States of America is better than this. We can do better than this. https://t.co/8FqMlEagJW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We’ve got facilities not built or designed to hold people for more than a matter of hours. Now, many of these men and women are being held in them for days or weeks. The average stay at the McAllen Border Patrol Station is over 20 days. https://t.co/XQK9N7LJVt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

My principle goal on my recent visit to the U.S. southern border was to see for myself conditions that I’ve read about for months. In our country, to have families and children in custody in the conditions I saw is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

At 10:56 PM (EDT), 50 years ago, Neil Armstrong stepped out of the #Apollo11 Lunar Module to the surface of the Moon. The spacesuits that protected Armstrong & fellow astronauts @TheRealBuzz & @AstroMCollins were made by Delaware's @ILCDover using #DuPont fabrics. #Apollo50th https://t.co/Qhs56xTXsd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

At the Southern border yesterday, we joined hands in prayer, led by Sister Norma Pimentel from Catholic Charities. We prayed for the heart of our nation to be open and we prayed for action to fix what has become an utterly broken immigration system. https://t.co/vnmqyuDcTS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The United States has in place thorough protocols to vet refugees, and the Administration should focus on real threats to our national security instead of turning away innocent men, women, and children fleeing persecution. — PolitiTweet.org
