The Equality Act, which would strengthen civil rights protections for #LGBTQ people across the country, passed the House but hasn’t made it to the Senate floor. #Stonewall50 #Pride — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Supreme Court will decide whether the Civil Rights Act protects #LGBTQ employees from being fired from their jobs just for being who they are. #Stonewall50 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In the last year, transgender Americans’ right to serve in the United States military has been challenged. The Trump Administration weakened regulations that protect #LGBTQ Americans from housing discrimination. #Stonewall50 #Pride — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

50 years ago, the #StonewallRiots marked a milestone in the march toward #LGBTQ rights. In the spirit of activists like Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson, it’s worth looking at some of battles we still have to fight for full LGBTQ equality #Pride #Stonewall50 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Proud to join my colleagues in sponsoring another piece of clean energy legislation. The Incentivizing Offshore Wind Power Act has potential to improve energy production, lower energy costs, and create jobs. Looking forward to seeing this bill become law. https://t.co/n0URklTM67 https://t.co/mZ108clM01 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Here’s what’s clear to me: some of the best of our traditions—welcoming those fleeing violence and persecution—are being turned on their head. We are better than this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Second, as violence and chaos are increasing in Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, the Administration is cutting all humanitarian aid to those same countries, forcing parents to risk their lives and their children’s lives to make the dangerous journey to the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Here’s what’s going on. First, government lawyers are arguing that safe and sanitary conditions for children in our government's custody don't include things like beds, soap, and toothbrushes. https://t.co/5Q57X7pGQU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The bill also gives new tools to @CommerceGov to support manufacturing workforce development and cybersecurity training. And it promotes the creation of new institutes, so that new technologies developed in America are also commercialized and manufactured in America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m also honored that my Global Leadership in Advanced Manufacturing Act with @SenCoryGardner passed as part of NDAA. The bill enables ongoing federal funding for Manufacturing USA, including Delaware’s @NIIMBL —an institute on the cutting edge of #biomanufacturing. https://t.co/BW9TxHIy5a — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The bill provides a well-deserved 3.1% pay raise for service members and authorizes $21 million for the construction of a modernized Army Reserve Center in Delaware. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today I was proud to support passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which provides support for U.S. service members in Delaware and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m proud to introduce legislation with @SenatorCarper & my Democratic colleagues to reaffirm the crucial role of public sector unions in fighting for workers’ rights. Read more: https://t.co/t7I5riz6c0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Public sector employees provide critical services to protect us, care for our children, & support our economy. Following the Supreme Court’s Janus v. AFSCME Council 31 decision, we must protect the ability of these workers to unionize & negotiate fair wages & working conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In addition to treating them humanely when they do reach our border, we should be working to help and stabilize their home countries. Instead, President Trump has cut aid to those countries and made the problem worse for everyone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Many of the people arriving at our Southern Border are fleeing terrible violence and poverty in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We should reflect on that history again today. Those seeking asylum deserve to be treated humanely, period. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

After the Second World War, the U.S. reflected on the ways in which we refused to accept refugees fleeing Nazi Germany. We changed our laws to make it possible for people fleeing violence and persecution to come here and seek asylum. https://t.co/TgrQ2u6cpR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

“Sleep-deprived, flu-stricken children are languishing in filthy conditions.” The United States of America has to be better than this. https://t.co/f38h01EVEr — PolitiTweet.org

This resolution lays out the case for why Huawei and ZTE are threats to the national security of the United States and our allies and encourages the development of reliable alternatives to Huawei and ZTE products — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Very glad to see @SenateForeign pass my bipartisan resolution with @SenCoryGardner, @SenMarkey, @tedcruz, and @marcorubio recognizing the threats from Chinese telecommunications companies such as Huawei and ZTE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Four years ago, people across the country celebrated the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, ensuring that ALL Americans have the constitutional right to marry. Today, I celebrate this progress & commit to continuing to fight for #LGBTQ rights. #LoveIsLove #Pride https://t.co/UEhdQ37Uma — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Proud that @SenateForeign passed my #GlobalFragilityAct yesterday to prevent violence and extremism around the world. Thanks to @AllforPeacebuilding @mercycorps @USIP @IAmNuru for your support. I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass this bill into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

That’s why I’ve introduced legislation to end the Muslim ban and enact protections from discrimination and executive overreach. Congress has the power to say that the President’s law doesn’t reflect our values. #NoBan #NoBanAct https://t.co/zUW78PyyDn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Only 5% of applicants are getting waivers. There are parents who cannot live with their children in the U.S., and families who cannot gather in the U.S. to celebrate or grieve just because of the bans that apply to their countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Last year, the Supreme Court upheld President Trump’s Muslim ban, but they never said it was good policy. It is not. This ban is family separation by another name, and in the United States, we cannot tolerate discrimination based on religion or nationality. #NoBan https://t.co/1lgyNKJCGD — PolitiTweet.org
