Delaware’s wildlife refuges are powerful economic engines for our state, and I’m committed to making sure they have the staffing and resources they need to protect Delaware’s wildlife and natural beauty. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This @USFWS project rebuilt two miles of sand dunes and 4,000 acres of tidal marsh - fortifying the refuge for our new climate reality and protecting wildlife that calls Delaware home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is a well-deserved recognition for the professionals who helped one of our state’s treasured wildlife refuges rebound from Hurricane Sandy. https://t.co/EjeGOr5z4d — PolitiTweet.org

Between @EPA’s letters to California, EPA and @USDOT repealing California’s authority to set its own clean air standards and @TheJusticeDept launching its bogus anti-trust ‘investigation’ against automakers who work with California, these acts abuses of power by the president — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is not about improving water quality or protecting public health, this is about the president retaliating against the State of California, which he views as his political enemy, for striking a deal with four major automakers on car emissions standards — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

.@realdonaldtrump is governing with a mob boss mentality and, clearly, @EPAAWheeler is following orders. https://t.co/MlJ1Ogy3Nx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

When I was Governor of the First State, we made it a priority to increase access to birth control and contraception. On this #WorldContraceptionDay, I remain committed to protecting #TitleX health centers and ensuring women have freedom to make their own health care decisions. https://t.co/eqI8xhimhq — PolitiTweet.org

As members of Congress, we all have an obligation – not to party – but to our Constitution, our country and to the truth. My hope is that we will continue upholding our sworn oaths and follow the facts on behalf of all Americans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I want the House's impeachment inquiry to proceed so that we can get to the truth. The House is doing its job – and I want them to do it thoroughly. If they find evidence to indict the President, then it is time the Senate to do its job and hold the trial. I'm prepared to do that — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Delaware was the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. And that Constitution sets up a process for if and when the President of the United States is believed to have done things that are wrong or illegal. That process starts in the House of Representatives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I am also troubled at the idea that some of those who have taken similar oaths to defend the U.S. Constitution, including the President of the United States, may have not taken that oath seriously and made a mockery out of what is a solemn obligation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I am deeply troubled by the whistle-blower complaint released this morning. As a retired Navy Captain, Vietnam Veteran and elected official, I have, many times, sworn an oath to defend our country and U.S. Constitution. I take that oath seriously. https://t.co/qdPqg8hIb4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Joining @DavidWestin on @business soon to discuss the latest on #impeachment, trade and more. Tune in! https://t.co/kDbF1otflT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

President Trump and his administration must comply with the ongoing investigations and provide Congress – a coequal branch of government – with the information it is entitled to under the law. The American people deserve the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

President Trump has broad deference when it comes to conducting U.S. foreign policy, but he does not have the authority to undermine Congress or pressure a foreign government to help him smear a political opponent. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our founders disagreed on a great many things, but the one thing they agreed on is that they did not want an all-powerful king. No President is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The White House memo detailing the call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky is clear: the President of the United States asked a foreign leader to help him smear a political opponent. https://t.co/h6an0nXWcp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Let’s be very clear: we could spend upwards of $40 billion building a wall from sea to shining sea, but a wall alone will not deter those who fear from their lives in Central America from making the dangerous journey north. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Raiding military funds and declaring an emergency in order to get around Congress's bipartisan objection to building an ineffective wall are not serious solutions. I welcome talks about ways to reduce irregular migration to the southern border, but they must be based in facts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

And when the President didn’t get his way, he shamefully resorted to diverting $3.6 billion away from our service members, their families and critical military projects to build an ineffective wall he promised Mexico would pay for. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This was an easy vote. From the start, the President’s national emergency declaration disregarded the facts, set a dangerous precedent and ignored the will of American taxpayers, as well as the authority of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Like @antonioguterres said Tuesday, “The climate emergency is a race we are losing - but it is a race we can win if we change our ways now.” I couldn’t agree more, and communities in Delaware and around the world can’t afford more delay. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

“Marine heat waves” that kill corals and destroy fisheries could become 20-50 times more common by 2100, compared with the late 1800s — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Seas could rise by more than 3 feet by 2100, a higher estimate than previously predicted a few years ago — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Looking forward, record losses of sea ice will help drive annual “100 year floods” in coastal communities on a *yearly* basis by the year 2050 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The global ocean has warmed “unabated” since 1970, bearing the brunt of more than 90% of the excess heat in in the climate system — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This newest report from the @UN describes in vivid detail the dangers that climate change poses to our oceans and coastal communities. Some of the 900-page report’s most chilling findings: https://t.co/XE5oM9HTK5 — PolitiTweet.org

…..and that Trump Tower meeting was just about Russian adoption. https://t.co/mNXw7zTdNz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The President has broad deference when it’s comes to conducting U.S. foreign policy. What the President cannot do is undermine Congress and pressure a foreign government to help him smear a political opponent. https://t.co/qSOy3k5sVQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This @EPA is taking a tact from President Trump and governing by threats and intimidation instead of ensuring clean air for millions of Americans https://t.co/obkfndKol0 — PolitiTweet.org
