@realDonaldTrump I'm glad to see Democrats and Republicans come together and advocate for the protection of our electoral process. Now it’s time for @senatemajldr to allow the Senate to vote on common sense, bipartisan bills that would strengthen our election security. https://t.co/BJGPdZlEme — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The issue of protecting our elections from foreign interference couldn't be more urgent – especially considering the fact that @realDonaldTrump is now openly asking foreign governments to interfere in our elections by investigating his political opponents. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I was over the moon to join @RepLBR for the opening of @DelMNH's amazing Evolution Trail - which takes Delawareans of all ages through major milestones in our planet's history. 🌎 Stop by to connect with nature and learn more about our place in Earth’s history. https://t.co/sqYthfbtIt — PolitiTweet.org

The Edgemoor expansion will help fuel considerable job growth, but private dollars can’t do it alone. It’s important that the Corps works diligently with the Port of Wilmington in the dredging and maintenance of this vital access channel, and that this work stays on schedule. https://t.co/4uxlbBfRk0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today I brought @USACEHQ leaders on a tour of crucial projects and priorities at the Port of Wilmington – an economic powerhouse that supports more than 19,000 jobs in our region. The Corps’ tireless work is essential to the port’s daily operations. https://t.co/sVcddXWUoP — PolitiTweet.org

What our country needs right now is for elected officials on both sides of the aisle to uphold our oath, display some courage and speak out. As members of Congress, we have an obligation – not to party – but to our Constitution, our country and to the truth. History is watching. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In the past week, we’ve watched the president publicly ask two foreign governments to interfere in our elections by investigating his political opponent. He told the American people he “has that right” and that it’s his “duty." This is the kind of behavior our Founders feared. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In our U.S. Constitution, our Founders included safeguards against foreign influence, like the emoluments clause. And they devised an intricate system of checks and balances. They disagreed on many things, but they did agree that they did not want an all-powerful king. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The threats posed to our democracy by foreign interference in our U.S. election system are not new. In fact, it was an issue our Founders feared. And when they met at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, they discussed ways to protect our democracy from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

George Washington, 1796: "...foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government." @realDonaldTrump, 2019: "[Ukraine] should investigate the Bidens...China likewise should start an investigation." To my Republican colleagues: What will it take? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I had an informative meeting today with Chief Tracy and members of @WilmingtonPD to learn more about CompStat — new technology officers use that has helped reduce crime in Wilmington and make it a better place to work and raise a family. https://t.co/8QYmkzgT6r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This morning in Wilmington, it was an honor to join 68 men and women from 29 countries for their naturalization ceremony and watch as they became U.S. citizens. Welcome to the longest living experiment in democracy in the history of the world. We’re so happy to have you! https://t.co/4t7JB6uhwy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s wrong for First State families to pay the price for smog dumped into our air by higher-polluting states. This decision is a victory for Delaware public health and it sends a clear signal to @EPA that it must follow the law and quickly help downwind states protect air quality — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Delaware's two NEPs - @DelawareEstuary and @DEInlandBays - work tirelessly with public and private sector stakeholders to protect water quality and Delaware ecosystems, and I'll keep making sure this cost-effective program has the federal support needed for its important projects — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It was great to join @NWF President and Delawarean @Collin_OMara at today's National Estuary Programs Tech Transfer conference - where leaders collaborate on how to best protect iconic estuaries that conserve wildlife, promote job growth and safeguard coastal communities. https://t.co/hMEb3HWJfY — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I stopped by Lord Baltimore Elementary School in Ocean View to talk about the importance of leadership and relay a message I hope they always remember about the keys to success: aim high, work hard and never quit. https://t.co/WXpeym9M20 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I often say, find out what works and do more of that -- and the Affordable Care Act is working. These lower marketplace rates are proof that when the #ACA is carried out as it is intended to be, we can lower health insurance costs for Delawareans and Americans across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Starting today, @DeptVetAffairs health care facilities are smoke-free across the nation! This afternoon, I got to stop by Wilmington’s VA Medical Center to meet with fellow Vietnam veterans and hard working volunteers like Sheridan and Ralph to thank them for their service. https://t.co/ILJNlfnGox — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Don’t be fooled: Trump’s narrow deal falls far short of the comprehensive deal we should be fighting for. It’s a cheap imitation of #TPP – the historic deal that aimed to lower tariffs for the 12 participating nations while also countering China’s growing influence in the region. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Here are the facts: Since the #ACA became law, 20 million more Americans have gained access to health insurance and 133 million Americans living with pre-existing conditions now have critical protections. Yet still, Republicans are working hard to invalidate the entire law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The idea that the President would withhold aid from our ally Ukraine to assist in its fight against Russia is abhorrent to me. To make matters worse, it was all an attempt to gain an electoral advantage against a political opponent. It’s just appalling. https://t.co/qSOy3k5sVQ — PolitiTweet.org

These projects would support safer passageways for cyclists and pedestrians that would enhance connectivity, reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and promote active lifestyles. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

After biking along the Jack A. Markell Trail, we toured a potential bike lane project that would better connect the Delaware Riverfront with Downtown Wilmington. https://t.co/cRMzkLcjum — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today I toured two projects in Delaware that would be eligible for funding under #ATIA, beginning with a bike ride along the Jack A. Markell Trail to see where proposed bike trail would connect the trail to Newport. https://t.co/D68LPggckN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

America’s Transportation Infrastructure Act (#ATIA) would help to better connect communities by supporting pedestrian paths and bike trails, and by making multi-modal transportation safer and more accessible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In 2015, Delaware had the highest rate of pedestrian fatalities in the nation. The First State is making progress to address this serious problem, but Congress can and must do more to make sure our roadways are safer for all users—not just motorists. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Couldn’t ask for a more beautiful day to get outside and enjoy this newly opened trail. To me, it’s a reminder that this planet of ours is a gift — and we’re expected to be its stewards. https://t.co/Q4chrOSBSx — PolitiTweet.org
