It was clear five years ago—and even clearer today—that without action, climate change will continue to cost our communities and economy in the form of more frequent and intense storms and wildfires, rising sea levels, and increased risk for dislocation and infectious disease. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I was one of the senators who attended the Paris climate talks in 2015, which brought the world together around the Paris Agreement—a bold consensus on #ClimateAction and our responsibility to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Great to speak with @jiseongho11 to discuss the importance of human rights in U.S. policy toward North Korea. Seong Ho’s bravery and dedication are inspiring, and I look forward to working with him to better advocate for the human rights of all North Koreans. #jiseongho https://t.co/SUT8pbzG0q — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

We heard from an excellent, bipartisan group of expert witnesses whose message was clear: Another round of small business forgivable loans, grants, and debt relief is urgently needed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Warren’s Station in Fenwick Island and Eat Clean juice bar in Wilmington are two examples I highlighted at the Senate Small Business Committee hearing today. https://t.co/VhyHdsVtIn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Thousands of small business owners in Delaware are fighting to preserve jobs in their communities and have gone too long without additional relief from Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The story of Hanukkah is one of faith and resilience in the face of impossible odds. This year it’s important to let the ancient tale of strength and perseverance inspire us all. To everyone in Delaware and around the world, Annie and I wish you and your family a Happy Hanukkah. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today in Congress, we commemorated #HumanRightsDay. It's time to recommit to the principles framed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on this day 72 years ago, and fight for those suffering from violence and oppression around the world. https://t.co/CY25RK61ff https://t.co/Kf9e20XwJW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Congratulations, @WFPUSA! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, I am thrilled to congratulate the World Food Programme and @WFPChief David Beasley on formally receiving this year’s #NobelPeacePrize. @WFP’s work reminds us how U.S. partnership with the @UN can foster peace and make progress toward a world with #ZeroHunger. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Google’s policies and practices around political advertising are not doing enough to combat election-related misinformation. This is a problem when millions of Americans use @Google to find out about voting and elections. @SenAmyKlobuchar, @MarkWarner and I have questions: https://t.co/jFbbSZWItG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I will miss having you in the Senate, @SenDougJones. I will always remember first hearing you speak about your passion for justice in Alabama & our time together on the civil rights pilgrimage. It was a pleasure to hear your words today & an honor to serve in the Senate together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, after much deliberation, I voted to oppose the sale of new, advanced military equipment to the United Arab Emirates. Congress must preserve its role in reviewing arms sales. https://t.co/SsaXL634EU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I’m glad to work with @SenatorBraun, @SenAngusKing & @SenToddYoung to invest in a bipartisan solution that will benefit the health of people and ecosystems around the world. You can learn more about the #TrillionTrees initiative from @1t_org here: https://t.co/9gw1qx0VUz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The U.S. should lead the way on the #TrillionTrees initiative, an international effort to combat deforestation and habitat loss and—by helping remove carbon from the atmosphere—one of the many critical steps we should take to mitigate climate risks. https://t.co/hKTUW3WLxk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The Ethiopian government should safeguard the human rights of all Ethiopians regardless of ethnicity, prioritize the swift delivery of humanitarian relief, protect refugees and displaced people, investigate atrocities, and restore the rule of law in Tigray. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today, I joined Amnesty International’s event on human rights issues in Ethiopia’s Tigray region. As co-chairs of the Senate Human Rights Caucus, @SenThomTillis and I highlighted our advocacy for universal values and fundamental freedoms in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Bluntly, I don't understand how any of us can go home for the holidays and look our constituents in the eye without passing a COVID relief package. This is part of why we have a federal government – to deal with disasters. Delawareans need relief. https://t.co/y4ZlUWSQ2s — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Suspending driver’s licenses for unpaid fines and fees makes it harder for Americans to hold down a job and care for their families, and places an undue burden on our police officers. @PostOpinions breaks down why #FreeToDrive is good policy here: https://t.co/WTtkbX525t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Excited to see House introduction of the #DrivingForOpportunity Act by @RepMGS & @RepBrianFitz. Our #FreetoDrive campaign has support from civil rights & law enforcement groups across the country, both sides of the aisle, and now both houses of Congress! https://t.co/B6637CYdcE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

It's a powerful reminder of the unique relationship—rooted in shared values and personal connections—that exists between our two countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

This is a simply awesome story about Canadian kindness to an American military family stranded while trying to drive across Canada to Alaska. https://t.co/73V0ShP7AH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

I remember four years ago today, my colleagues – Democrats and Republicans – came together to thank @JoeBiden for decades of bipartisan leadership and public service. Let’s all remember how we’ve worked with Joe Biden and we can again. That’s how we make people’s lives better. https://t.co/hTIhU3k9rD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Today in 1941, two Delawareans — George Ames Penuel Jr. and Paul Gustavus Gosnell were on the U.S.S. Shaw when she was hit three times by enemy aircraft. We’re remembering, we’re reflecting, and we’re saluting those who put their lives on the line for our country. #PearlHarbor79 https://t.co/52mXDhJLj4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Xavier’s impressive range of work defending the Affordable Care Act and his decades of leadership experience make him a good fit to guide @HHSGov. I look forward to partnering closely with him at this critical juncture to improve care for all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

The next @HHSGov Secretary will assume a critical role in our pandemic response while overseeing efforts to expand health care access and improve quality. Having had the pleasure to know and to work with @XavierBecerra, I know he is up to the task. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Yeah...and Al sleeping on the floor of planes. You’ll want to listen to this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

@jepritch Joe, Tom and your grandfather are heroes of our country. I’ll join you in remembering their lives and service today. Stay well. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Annie and I send our deepest condolences to his children @RepSarbanes, Michael, and Janet, his entire family, and to the people of Maryland he loved so much. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Coons @ChrisCoons

Sen. Paul Sarbanes was a true statesman who, during his 30 years in the Senate, fought to protect the Chesapeake Bay and consumers’ privacy, stood against abuses of power, and always put the people of Maryland first. https://t.co/3mryNRQcI8 — PolitiTweet.org
