Newt understood the power and infinite possibilities that education can provide. His own rise from growing up in Wilmington to becoming a Delaware State University Ph.D. and school leader was an inspiration to so many. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m heartbroken by the passing of my dear friend, Dr. Terrance Newton. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A federal public defender. A private practice attorney. Vice-Chair of the U.S. Sentencing Commission. A federal judge for nearly a decade. Ketanji Brown Jackson is incredibly well-qualified to serve on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

"I have every expectation that, at the conclusion of this week’s hearings, it will be clear to all of my colleagues that you are impeccably qualified." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

"I know our role in confirming a Justice to the highest court is among the most solemn obligations we have as Senators... I remain hopeful that we can come together as a committee and engage in respectful, good faith, bipartisan consideration of your nomination." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Over the next several days, I have the privilege of helping to introduce Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson—an exceptional nominee to the Supreme Court—to the American people. I hope you’ll take part by watching this historic moment ▼ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Great to meet members of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson's family along with my colleague from Delaware @RepLBR, and then get started with this historic confirmation hearing! https://t.co/m9Z29V3SCs — PolitiTweet.org

Through investments in caregiver services, food security, high-speed internet, and more, the American Rescue Plan and the bipartisan infrastructure law are helping Delaware seniors lead longer, happier, and healthier lives. Here’s how 👇 https://t.co/81HAma0R3M — PolitiTweet.org

Everyone should go to Bardea. Leaves more room for me at the Charcoal Pit. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

My heart goes out to the families of these four Marines who lost their lives in a training exercise today. At a time of conflict in Europe, we must be conscious of the dedication and sacrifice we ask of our brave men and women in uniform as they defend freedom around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Benefitting 40,000 communities across all 50 states, it’s easy to see why AmeriCorps has broad bipartisan support in Congress. Happy AmeriCorps Week to all those working to improve their communities! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Rita Landgraf has long been a leader in our state—serving at the helm of @Delaware_DHSS & @UDelaware’s Partnership for Healthy Communities. She’s promoted wellness in communities across our state, and now I’m pleased to see @POTUS tap her for a senior role in his administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It's a great day to be a @UDBlueHens fan. Good luck to our men's and women's teams in their first round #MarchMadness games today! — PolitiTweet.org

Happy #StPatricksDay, everyone! Sláinte🍀 https://t.co/ROC0vXBz2j — PolitiTweet.org

No matter how busy he was or how often you talked to him, it was not uncommon to receive a handwritten note wishing you well, simply because that was who he was – a gracious man who took his role as a leader of our state seriously and served as a mentor to many. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I was greatly saddened to hear of Justice Holland's passing today. He has left a legacy as a giant of the Delaware legal community, but those who knew him will also remember him for his thoughtful kindness and dedication to our state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

One year ago, six women were murdered by a gunman in Atlanta in an egregious attack on Asian-run businesses. My prayers remain with their families. We must continue fighting for gun safety & anti-discrimination laws like the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act I supported to #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

In that folder, there’s a bill that funds critical government programs and makes direct investments in key projects across the state of Delaware. I was delighted to join @POTUS yesterday as he signed the annual funding bill into law. Here’s why ⬇️ https://t.co/5tJd9WgmX7 https://t.co/sqqKXOixvk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Thanks in part to the $13B I helped secure last week, @POTUS and his team have met the challenge of aiding Ukraine. I am confident they will continue to provide whatever else proves helpful, necessary and effective for the Ukrainian people and our partners and allies in Europe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

After listening to President Zelensky’s emotional speech today, I can’t help but think of these brave men and women defending our NATO Allies, as well as the brave Ukrainians defending who continue to defend their country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

When I was in Poland and Lithuania last month, I met some of the 12,000 US service members @POTUS has moved to Eastern Europe in recent months. As Putin continues his unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, the President Biden has made clear we will defend every inch of NATO territory. https://t.co/rGFOs2Kc80 — PolitiTweet.org

A welcome announcement for small businesses: if you have EIDL—an Economic Injury Disaster Loan—then deferment of principal and interest payments has been extended for an additional 6 months. This is good news, & I hope the SBA can continue to work through the EIDL backlog. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Glad to see the Judicial Conference adopting many of the proposals in my Courthouse Ethics and Transparency Act to bring more sunlight to our legal system. I look forward to the House passing our bill to create stronger courthouse ethics protections: https://t.co/cWQhWMhCyP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today is Equal Pay Day. Tragically, the pay gap persists in our country—the average woman earns 83 cents for every dollar an American man makes & the disparity is even greater for women of color. Congress must pass legislation to close the pay gap & make true equality a reality. https://t.co/HbEXgOAyb0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The journalists who report from warzones do so at incredible personal risk in hopes that their work to shed light on the darkness can bring about brighter days. I am keeping Pierre’s family, and every member of the press in harm’s way, in my prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s #GoodToBeFirst but 3.14 isn’t bad either. #PiDay https://t.co/sSV3nbmmin — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to the Tower Hill boys basketball team for winning their first state championship! So proud to be a Tower Hill alum. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Right now, someone prohibited from buying a gun might “lie & try” to do so anyway—often without consequences. Inaction has led to other crimes and violence. For years, I’ve been working on a bill to fix that—and thankfully—President Biden will soon sign that bill into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A year ago, President Biden signed the #AmericanRescuePlan to put shots in arms & Americans back to work, and work it did.    Thanks to ARP we’ve invested more than $900m into Delaware broadband, schools, housing, & job training – and now, nationwide unemployment is down to 3.8%. — PolitiTweet.org
