Increasing energy efficiency & saving taxpayer dollars through public-private partnerships simply makes sense. That’s why I introduced legislation today with @SenCoryGardner that would do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #PrideMonth! This #Pride month represents both a celebration and a challenge – a celebration of all the progress we have made and a challenge to recommit ourselves to the fight for equality - because we have more work to do. https://t.co/AWfV6O96X3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Grateful for these words from @SenatorRomney, who called for “a strong NATO, a strong Europe, stronger ties with the free nations of Asia & the subcontinent & with every free country” and to “hold our friends closer, not neglect them or drive them away.” https://t.co/jHhW5SJBGZ — PolitiTweet.org

A price on carbon will level the economic playing field in the energy sector, unlock market-driven innovation, help create millions of new jobs, & slash U.S. carbon emissions—all while raising money we can return to American families & invest in R&D & infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The time is NOW for all of us to work together to combat climate change. That’s why it’s one of my top priorities in Congress. Just last week, I met with CEOs to discuss one of the most important steps we can take: putting a price on carbon. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The threat that climate change poses to the American economy is real. @CDP just found that some of the world’s biggest companies likely will face approx. $1T in costs related to climate change in the decades ahead unless they take steps to prepare. https://t.co/jjEKYPQgff — PolitiTweet.org

On this anniversary, @SenThomTillis & I call upon the Chinese government to publicly account for the victims & respect the rights of China’s citizens to call for political reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, on the 30th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre, we honor & remember the Chinese students who raised their voices to call for democracy & freedom. An unknown number of people were killed, wounded, or imprisoned – & never saw justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

There’s more we need to do to ensure a college degree is attainable for every student, but this is an important step. Learn more here: https://t.co/ZmfSU4ku7Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It’s critical that we do everything we can in the Senate to make college more affordable. That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation today to eliminate an unnecessary student loan fee & ease the burden on students in Delaware & across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Too many students carry the burden of crushing student loan debt. In Delaware, 62% of bachelor’s degree students have student debt, averaging more than $34,000 per person. — PolitiTweet.org

We have a busy week coming up in Washington and Delaware. Watch the video for a preview about what I’m up to the week of June 3. https://t.co/7yVlWKxQlU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We welcome continued input and engagement from the public, businesses, academics, and other interested parties, and we encourage you to contact us at [email protected] — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Our hope is that these hearings will help us craft legislation that will bring clarity & predictability to the types of inventions & discovery eligible for patent protection & reflect important input from the wide range of individuals & orgs directly impacted by our patent laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We are excited to welcome more than 45 diverse and engaging witnesses to those public hearings, including passionate advocates on all sides of the patent eligibility discussion. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Already, we’ve heard from dozens of stakeholders with both positive feedback and valid concerns about the discussion draft, which is exactly what we’d hoped for. These important conversations will continue, starting this week, with hearings on June 4, 5, and 11 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

After extensive work, we publicly and widely released last week a ‘discussion draft,’ a non-binding summary of legislative concepts designed to elicit feedback, both positive and critical, before we move toward final legislation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We’ve had wide-ranging discussions with academic, business, research, medical, software, tech, legal, and security leaders to discuss how we can best reform our patent eligibility laws to ensure that the US leads the world in innovation & cutting-edge tech throughout this century — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

.@SenThomTillis and I both believe strongly that America’s patent system is a bedrock of our economic strength and global leadership, and as bipartisan leaders of the Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, we want to ensure it stays that way. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Republicans, Democrats, & a growing coalition of business leaders agree: Putting a price on carbon is one of the most important steps we can take to combat climate change. @RepRooney & I wrote for @FortuneMagazine about why it’s time for Congress to act https://t.co/LMqQKtkdFY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A price on carbon will level the economic playing field in the energy sector, unlock market-driven innovation, help create millions of new jobs, & slash U.S. carbon emissions—all while returning money to the taxpayers as a dividend each month & investing in R&D & infrastructure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We represent different parts of the country & stand on opposite sides of the aisle, but @RepRooney & I agree there is perhaps no issue as urgent for our nation—& economy—as tackling #climatechange. That’s why we’re proposing a national carbon price to cut emissions & create jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Eleven more American lives were senselessly taken today in yet another mass shooting, this time in Virginia Beach. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action - now - to stop this violence. Congress cannot remain idle any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Incredible feat accomplished by Delawarean Ricky Singh who reached the summit of Mt. Everest. Way to go, Ricky. Glad you’re home safe and congratulations! https://t.co/k2f64G0Fwb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Sen. Thad Cochran was a devoted public servant who believed in & championed national service. I was proud to serve with him on the National Service Caucus, which will carry on his work to expand volunteerism across the country. My prayers are with his family. — PolitiTweet.org
