Attention Delawareans: Due to technical issues, @CMSgov has extended the deadline for Americans to sign up for quality, affordable health insurance through https://t.co/qUcCz1y9D4. Head there NOW and #GetCovered before time runs out! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I am, however, very disappointed that Congress didn’t take this clear opportunity to clean up PFAS that has contaminated drinking water for servicemen and women living on or near 300 military bases or sites across the US. Our work is not done and our fight is far from over. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We worked to include critical investments to support the men and women serving in our Armed Forces and their families, strengthen our military capabilities, bolster our nation’s cyber defenses, and counter ever-evolving threats to our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As a 23-year veteran of the @USNavy and Naval Reserves, I believe that one of our most serious responsibilities as elected officials is to ensure that our troops have the resources necessary to help keep our nation and our citizens safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I’m proud to have worked with @ChrisCoons and @RepLBR to deliver some big wins for Delaware in the 2020 defense spending bill, including $21 million for a new Army Reserve Center in Newark! — PolitiTweet.org

Given what we know about the widespread contamination of these harmful chemicals in groundwater and drinking water systems, and the clear opportunity we still have to get something done, I cannot bring myself to vote "yes" on ending the debate tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As the clerk counts our votes, and debate on the annual defense bill comes to a close, we know that hundreds of communities will continue to have no recourse to hold the Department of Defense accountable for the PFAS contamination it caused. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We cast our votes knowing full well that there are almost 300 military sites across the country that have PFAS contamination in their water systems, including two in Delaware. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As my colleagues and I cast our votes deciding whether to end debate on our nation's annual defense funding bill tonight, we know that there are tens of thousands of servicemen and women living on or near military bases whose drinking water is contaminated with PFAS. — PolitiTweet.org

IMPORTANT NEWS: Due to technical glitches, the open enrollment period will reopen today through December 18th. If you had trouble with the website last night or didn't get a chance to try, head to https://t.co/BfUFS7vTlh to sign up for quality, affordable health care now! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Great news! A House version of my bill with @SenRonJohnson, @SenGaryPeters and @SenatorBraun to crackdown on billions of dollars in improper payments has been introduced. Being good stewards of taxpayer dollars is one of our most important responsibilities as elected officials. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s an already busy time of year. We know that many people wait until the very end of open enrollment to #GetCovered. Technical issues beyond their control shouldn’t keep them from having health insurance next year. — PolitiTweet.org

I only wish that he had joined us some 50 years ago when millions of members of our generation answered our country’s call to serve in a struggle with far greater consequences than the one we’re witnessing today on this football field in Philadelphia. https://t.co/P1S56zKdu7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s all well and good that President Trump has elected to join us at today’s #ArmyNavyGame less than 11 months before next year’s election. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Honored to be at the #ArmyNavyGame today. I served for 23 years in the Navy, but whenever I meet veterans and service members from other branches, I remind them that we might wear different uniforms, but we’re all on the same team. But, just for today, I’ll say #GoNavy! #BeatArmy https://t.co/OCnns3BcMt — PolitiTweet.org

For each Delawarean uncounted, the First State loses more than $2,000 in annual federal funding. I'll continue working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to ensure a fair and accurate #2020Census because our communities and businesses depend on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The #2020Census is just around the corner! That's why I'm joining @brianschatz and @lisamurkowski and 40 of my Senate colleagues to remind people just how important this count is to our country's economy and our democracy. https://t.co/fumskqtMQb — PolitiTweet.org

I'm in downtown Wilmington with @westsidehealth and @Delaware_DHSS reminding Delawareans that there are only THREE DAYS LEFT to sign up for quality, affordable health insurance!

I believe Jim and Richelle's bravery and advocacy can make the difference. I urge my colleagues to listen to their story and join me in getting these important PFAS provisions across the finish line. https://t.co/ZbpF3KyD75 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

There is also bipartisan agreement to set a federal drinking water standard, so no family would have to put water on the table that has dangerous levels of PFAS contamination. — PolitiTweet.org
