ICYMI: Read my letter with @SenJohnKennedy, @RepCheri, and Rep. Gianforte urging the Trump Administration to take action to prevent stimulus checks from being sent to deceased people. They present significant waste and can be a burden to those who mistakenly receive them. — PolitiTweet.org

But McConnell made sure that, last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee prioritized a hearing for his hand-picked nominee to sit on the second highest court in the land. And it gets worse. The guy he wants for the job believes our nation's health care law should be dismantled — PolitiTweet.org

Nearly 1/3 of the Navajo Nation does not have running water, a disparity that's exacerbating the COVID-19 crisis. Improving our nation's water infrastructure and expanding access to clean water is an urgent matter of public health & #EnvironmentalJustice. https://t.co/ATwPLB2Uaa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Low-income, minority and indigenous communities disproportionately lack access to clean water, which is an essential tool in our fight against #COVID19. As we promote #HandHygiene, we also need to focus on the work needed to achieve #EnvironmentalJustice. https://t.co/EVt72PgBKQ — PolitiTweet.org

Commencements at our universities and colleges in Delaware and across the nation look a lot different this year, but the achievements of the class of 2020 continue to impress. Check out @DelStateUniv's "Senior Spotlight" videos to learn about their achievements. Hornets Rising! — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, THIS is playing politics. Suggesting Democrats don’t want to reopen our economy is just wrong. But the steps we take to get there must be based on science and facts in order to protect public health. We cannot have a healthy economy without a healthy public. — PolitiTweet.org

Allowing Americans to buy and bring these wood heaters into their homes is not a decision the agency should take lightly. I'm asking EPA to respond. https://t.co/XGOteJ6ToT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Residential wood heaters produce a deadly mix of PM and other air toxics that amass inside and outside the home. Meanwhile, studies have shown that Americans living in areas with higher levels of PM pollution may face higher risk of death from #COVID19. https://t.co/m5oSuimWw7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Nationwide, residential wood heaters emit FIVE TIMES more PM pollution than U.S. petroleum refineries, cement manufacturers and pulp and paper plants COMBINED. In the middle of a respiratory pandemic, EPA may be planning to reverse its decision to stop the sale of these heaters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, I am wishing all of the moms out there and the women who serve as role models to so many, including my wife Martha, a very Happy Mother’s Day! Thank you for the example you are setting and for giving others strength and support to get through these trying times. https://t.co/IyJwT3mL4B — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

If there was ever a time for the Golden Rule, it’s now. #COVID19 doesn’t distinguish between Democrats and Republicans. And we can’t beat this alone. So we must do our part and take the necessary steps to help protect ourselves and others. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Why are deceased people receiving stimulus checks? It's critical Americans get relief quickly, but these improper payments represent serious waste and a burden to those who receive them. Read our new letter to the administration demanding answers and a plan to end them ⬇ https://t.co/gFNfnD25XN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

From #climatechange to combating #COVID19, the Trump Administration continues to suppress science and undermine experts – threatening the health of millions. We need to be guided by science. You can read the @CDCgov full guidelines here https://t.co/ireo5uFlx4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The most important thing we can do right now is heed the advice of experts. Yet, President Trump just threw out a plan by the @CDCgov on how to safely reopen the country. https://t.co/QiTv7L53cE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s simple: before any administration sends Americans into battle, those of us in Congress should have to debate the merits and take a vote. We are free to disagree, and I’m sure there will be many instances in the future where we will. But we have an obligation to do our job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We cannot risk haphazard foreign policy missteps by the President that could drag our nation into another war. That’s why today, I voted to override the President’s Iran War Powers veto. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Nothing @realDonaldTrump has done to date related to Iran has made our nation or the world safer. Consider when he abandoned the Iran Deal and gave Iran the green light to build up its nuclear capabilities or his string of threats to use military force without a plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In February, I voted to approve a bipartisan resolution that would require @realDonaldTrump to seek congressional approval before our nation is dragged into another endless war in the Middle East. I believed that was a good idea then and I still do today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The only thing worse than doing this once is doing this twice. We must be smart about the steps we take to reopen our economy. We simply cannot have a healthy economy without a healthy public. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In the midst of a health crisis, I’m choosing to listen to our health care workers on the front lines. During #NationalNursesWeek and every day, we are grateful for your work to keep our communities safe. You have my word that I will continue to work to help keep you safe too. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Your daily reminder that @realDonaldTrump is still trying to rip health care away from 30 millions Americans in the middle of an unprecedented pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The families behind these devastating numbers are living a nightmare. With the Senate back in session, our focus must be on getting relief to these Americans who find themselves in dire straits through no fault of their own. — PolitiTweet.org

I've spent decades fighting for the Postal Service. It doesn't usually make headlines, but it is critical for our country that #USPS is competitive for decades to come. I'll be damned if this invaluable institution is going to be used for profit or political patronage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The #USPS is the lynchpin of a $1.4 trillion mailing industry that employs more than 7 million Americans. And, in the midst of a pandemic, it’s more important than ever – for seniors, veterans, small businesses, and rural communities But for @realDonaldTrump it’s all just a game — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

But, especially on this #NationalNursesDay, I know that thanking you for your courage is not enough. You have my word that I will continue to do everything I can to ensure that we keep you – and all of our health care workers – safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

To all of our nurses in Delaware and across the country who are leaving their loved ones to care for ours: thank you. Our nation is safer because of your work. https://t.co/jWnWxHNwdS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

He’s not even trying to hide it anymore. During a pandemic that has already killed more than 72,000 Americans, @realDonaldTrump says he’ll continue his push to rip health care away from millions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

#COVID19 has reminded us just how important it is to have access to soap and clean water to wash hands – a simple yet effective way to prevent the spread of this deadly infectious disease. But too many communities still lack access to clean water. https://t.co/yJWegSplDw — PolitiTweet.org
