Action to support patients with ALS & discover new therapies is urgent. ACT for ALS will expand access to early treatment options & support the research needed to improve quality of life & find a cure—providing hope for Americans affected by this awful disease & their families. — PolitiTweet.org

On #AfricaDay we celebrate the founding of the present day @_AfricanUnion. For nearly 60 years, the AU has advanced peace, prosperity, & greater continental integration. I will continue working to strengthen the U.S. ties with the AU & the diverse & dynamic countries of Africa. https://t.co/c3C7yWq5Is — PolitiTweet.org

Today, we recommit ourselves to delivering real change for Delaware – for communities that are struggling from Wilmington and Dover, to Ellendale and Seaford – and for communities across the country. We cannot miss this moment to make a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

He's right. In the Senate, we are continuing to work towards a bill that will meaningfully reform policing and advance other efforts to improve racial equity and opportunity in housing, education, employment, access to capital, and health care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A year later, while the police officer who killed George Floyd is now in jail, inequality in our society, challenges around policing & violence in our streets continue.   As @POTUS said today after meeting with George Floyd's family, "We have to act. We face an inflection point." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

A year ago today, George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis Police in a horrific, televised incident that galvanized the world. Months of protests and calls for change followed in Delaware, across our country, and around the world. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The recent surge in antisemitic attacks in the U.S. and around the world is unacceptable and cannot be tolerated. We must speak out strongly against these acts of violence and stand against hate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It’ll be a good one. We’ll be discussing competition with China and the future of bipartisan foreign policy. Tune in soon. https://t.co/fvVwUPvmTK https://t.co/XyyWC24pV0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

@SenSherrodBrown No American should be penalized for building their own financial security. As Delawareans try to recover from the economic and health crises created by COVID-19, we should be crafting policies to help families, not make their lives harder. Let’s pass the #ASSETAct. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Hearing about the experiences of Delawareans like Jared is why I’ve worked w/ @SenSherrodBrown on legislation to eliminate savings limits as a means of eligibility for programs that Americans use to meet basic needs. #ASSETAct https://t.co/VK57HmXUAl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’ve heard about the detrimental impact of asset limits firsthand from a Delawarean living with a disability in Delmar. Listen to Jared’s story: https://t.co/fgcy9NICPQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Did you know that safety-net programs like TANF, SNAP, and LIHEAP currently penalize families applying for help if they have some assets like a savings account or even a car? https://t.co/p3UziWlV9M — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

My bipartisan bill with @SenKevinCramer would especially increase housing choices in high-opportunity neighborhoods. Research from @OppInsights shows these areas can lead to better financial and health outcomes for families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Housing is the foundation to a safe, healthy & productive life. By increasing the number of landlords that accept Housing Choice Vouchers, more low-income families will have greater choices & opportunities in finding a home to build their foundation upon. https://t.co/xWG0DqPxGo — PolitiTweet.org

Join us tomorrow at 2pm ET: https://t.co/fvVwUPvmTK https://t.co/SGuhU0oeYx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

President Biden is showing the world that democracy works through his actions here at home. I’m joining @trudyrubin to discuss what that actually means—from investing in innovation and putting our economy on a path to sustained growth to improving our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

To the millions of Americans who struggle with mental health, show yourself more kindness today — and every day. Remember we are all human and there should be no stigma around asking for help and taking care of yourself. On #MentalHealthActionDay, remember you’re never alone. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Powerful and moving testimony yesterday from @bsw5020 of @iamalsorg. I look forward to advancing ACT for ALS and working alongside you in the ongoing fight for more research, better treatments, and a cure for ALS. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I can think of no better way to improve educational opportunity and equity in a bipartisan way than by investing in the infrastructure of some of America’s greatest institutions, Historically Black Colleges and Universities. https://t.co/KoBAGckEN1 — PolitiTweet.org

Moscow’s crackdown on independent media, especially @RFERL, must end. I urge Secretary Blinken to press Russian FM Lavrov to stop the harassment of @RFERL in his meeting today. Russia must do many things before we can have a more stable relationship. This is one of them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It was an honor to meet with the Delaware National Guard at the Capitol one last time before they return to Delaware. Their extraordinary service to our country and in our nation’s capital will always be remembered and appreciated following the events of January 6th. https://t.co/iYCtu7HJ5G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

These individuals have deep experience in the postal system and can help restore transparency and on-time delivery to USPS operations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

For months we’ve demanded answers from Postmaster General DeJoy about how our postal service is being run. Now, we’re making progress toward getting USPS back on track with the confirmation of two of three of .@POTUS' nominees to the Postal Service Board of Governors. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

To combat climate change, we have to invest in partnerships that keep us on the cutting edge. @BillGates joined the Climate Solutions Caucus to explain how government & private sector can unite to make us more competitive & to ultimately meet our climate goals. Agreed! https://t.co/hT5J7drVlh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Proud to help advance this bill with the support of @FLEOAORG, @afsatweets, @NAPOpolice, @ndaajustice, and others. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

During #PoliceWeek, I’m glad that Republicans & Democrats on the Judiciary Committee came together to advance three commonsense bills supporting law enforcement – including my bill with @JohnCornyn to protect federal officers overseas in honor of Jaime Zapata and Victor Avila — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

As @Pollytrott said, “investing in infrastructure that can’t withstand climate change is just throwing good money after bad.” President Biden understands this and that’s why the climate resiliency funding in his American Jobs Plan makes sense. Let’s pass it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This morning, I asked Deputy Secretary Trottenberg about what @USDOT is doing to prepare @Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor for climate change and how President Biden’s American Jobs Plan investment will scale those efforts. Watch: https://t.co/qTCN1YlN9r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Delaware has the lowest average elevation of any U.S. state. We need to invest now in making our transportation infrastructure more resilient to the impacts of climate change, such as sea level rise, storm surges, and extreme precipitation. — PolitiTweet.org
