Carl Levin was a great senator - wise and kind and thoughtful - and also warm and funny. He was so good to me my first few years in the Senate and he and Barbara were a true team. A great senator and a great person, who will be missed. My prayers are with the Levin family. — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to supporting the brave men & women who serve in the Capitol Police force & the National Guard, I worked with my @SenateApprops colleagues to ensure Delaware law enforcement sees reimbursements for their costs protecting the President during the transition last fall. — PolitiTweet.org

A great bipartisan effort in the Senate today. https://t.co/i9MU5VBhq6 — PolitiTweet.org

Today and every day, I’m so thankful for the hard work of the interns in my Dover, Wilmington, and Washington offices. #NationalInternDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

When I first came to the Senate, I was an intern – first for Sen. Bill Roth in 1982 and then for Sen. Joe Biden in 1989. Those experiences taught me invaluable lessons and sparked my passion for public service. #NationalInternDay https://t.co/um4fugnZOy — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you to Simone Biles for being a profile in courage, and showing all Americans that it is essential to prioritize your mental health. You are an exemplary leader — we are all honored to have you representing #TeamUSA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I'm optimistic that this will be just the next big step in moving forward President Biden's bold agenda for our country. We need to get this historic infrastructure bill passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We can and should put Americans to work building resilience to climate change. That’s why we are working on launching a new Civilian Climate Corps – expanding and diversifying the vision of AmeriCorps today. https://t.co/lVx2Qj8Wgj — PolitiTweet.org

Mike was a faithful regular at our weekly Senate prayer breakfasts and continued to participate remotely even in retirement. Annie and I are praying for Diana and Mike’s family. The Senate and our country have lost a truly good man. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

When I first came to the Senate, Mike’s office was across the hall from mine. I thought our first dinner together would be brief—he seemed to be a man of few words—but we talked for hours & I discovered he was a thoughtful, deliberate, funny & decent man & we became good friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

My heart hurts over the passing of Senator Mike Enzi as he was just beginning to enjoy his well-deserved retirement after decades of public service. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today we celebrate 31 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act—landmark civil rights legislation that seeks to ensure equal rights and opportunity for Americans with disabilities. We must keep up the fight to build a more equitable, inclusive, accessible country for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

My prayers are with my friend and former colleague Senator Mike Enzi following news that he was in a serious bike accident. Please join me in keeping Mike, Diana, and their entire family in your prayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

As the Olympic and Paralympic Games begin, I’m excited to see Delaware represented. We know it’s #GoodToBeFirst, and I can’t wait to see our athletes compete on the world stage! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Let me be clear: the bipartisan infrastructure bill must include transit. Transit and transit workers are critical to our transportation system and cannot be left out of this package. My colleagues & I are working to resolve remaining issues and get this bill to the floor ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This brazen & ruthless crackdown on opposition and dissent is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I call on Nicaraguan Pres. Daniel Ortega to demonstrate proof of life for Félix @Maradiaga, Juan Sebastián Chamorro @Jschamorrog, & 24 other disappeared presidential candidates, civil society leaders, & journalists in #Nicaragua, & to immediately release 140+ political prisoners. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I'm glad to see regional partners like Qatar stepping up to provide funding for humanitarian support to the people of #Yemen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We owe the very food on our tables to undocumented immigrant farmworkers who labored during this pandemic in remarkably tough circumstances. Let’s honor their contributions. Their hard work under the sun should earn them a place outside the shadows. #FarmworkerLegalization https://t.co/ivuqXktdyA — PolitiTweet.org

This #GlioblastomaAwarenessDay, we honor the memory of those who have passed, support those living with Glioblastoma & their loved ones, and recommit ourselves to the fight to find a cure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The actions by Pres. Erdogan & Turkish Cypriot leaders to transfer parts of a Northern Cyprus town—Varosha—to Turkish Cypriot control are unacceptable violations of UNSC resolutions 550 & 789. UNSC must act to defend the rights of Cyprus & Greek Cypriots against this provocation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Investing in mothers and children is an investment for all. On #BumpDay we support the crucial work of @WhatToExpect and @IMC_Worldwide demanding basic maternal health care for all. Join me and my wife, Annie, to show your support for the health and safety of moms everywhere! https://t.co/oIPakMfUff — PolitiTweet.org

Great thread. Glad to work with you on landmark climate legislation, @RepScottPeters! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The FAIR Transition & Competition Act will complement our efforts to reduce emissions at home, ensure the U.S. is at the table for reframing trade around climate, & provide resources to support energy innovation and community resilience. More here👇 https://t.co/YgvOvHtnT1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

@RepScottPeters said it perfectly: “The FAIR Transition and Competition Act will facilitate a race to the top among U.S. companies to produce the next generation of clean energy and technology.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Last week, Senate Dems included a new polluter import fee in the budget plan. This policy—a border carbon adjustment—will be key to climate action: reducing emissions & keeping manufacturing jobs at home. Today, @RepScottPeters & I delivered the framework to make this happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans are not safe from COVID-19 until the virus is no longer able to spread and mutate around the world. This donation of 25M vaccines will support African nations in the midst of a deadly third wave and help bolster the global flight against COVID-19. — PolitiTweet.org
