America's Transportation Infrastructure Act will move us toward a safer, more connected, efficient and climate-friendly transportation system that can endure the test of time and help us compete in a 21st century economy. Read more: https://t.co/XjVoLGGzXJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

After months of bipartisan negotiation, I'm proud to introduce a bill with @SenJohnBarrasso that would make an unprecedented investment in our roads, highways and bridges, and make our country's transportation infrastructure work better for every American https://t.co/QtAMILZZDa — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @MaryNicholsCA and these four automakers for forging a responsible path toward a 50-state solution. This agreement is the “win-win” that automakers have been asking for, and I’m going to keep calling on others to seize this opportunity and join this deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, I was proud to vote to advance a bipartisan bill that begins to address the challenge of high drug prices. Thank you, @RonWyden and @ChuckGrassley, for your leadership and commitment to bring down drug prices for Americans. Together, we can deliver real results — PolitiTweet.org

Over the years, I’ve heard time and time again from Delawareans who simply cannot afford medicine they need at the pharmacy counter. That’s not acceptable. On behalf of all American patients, we can and must do better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Mueller made it clear that the Russian government successfully interfered in our 2016 election. Yet still, @senatemajldr is actively blocking bipartisan bills that would strengthen our election security #LegislativeGraveyard American democracy deserves better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It remains my hope that the Trump Administration will abandon its efforts which are reckless, illegal and bound to send the automotive sector into years of litigation and economic disarray, and instead adopt the terms of this agreement. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I commend California and these automakers for working together in good faith to find a principled compromise that will support the development of the clean cars of the future. https://t.co/hNcfPC9JeP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Special Counsel Mueller is right. The hacking of our election systems by the Russian government should not be a partisan issue. All Americans, regardless of party affiliation, should be alarmed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Like many Americans, I’m looking forward to hearing more from Special Counsel Mueller himself on two things made very clear in his report: 1. Russia’s unequivocal interference in our 2016 election and 2. Efforts to obstruct the investigation by the President of the United States. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Millions of acres just went unplanted due to historic rainfall and flooding, and scientists tell us it will only get worse if emissions keep rising. Combatting climate change brightens the future for our farmers, but this president is abandoning the fight https://t.co/V3PV9DVS8w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

@realDonaldTrump Sadly, @realDonaldTrump has cut off funding to the Alliance for Prosperity and instead continues to present non-strategies to the world when he doesn't get his way – like threats of sanctions on Guatemala, which we all know will not solve irregular migration at our border. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

If @realDonaldTrump wants to get serious about solving irregular migration, he needs to address the root causes of why people are arriving at our border: lack of opportunity and hope, crime and violence, and corruption. The Alliance for Prosperity aims to address all of those. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We don't need the President of the United States lashing out and threatening sanctions when it doesn't go his way. We need diplomacy and we need a level-headed, coherent strategy that will actually solve irregular migration at our border https://t.co/Y4qHao35Lv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It shouldn't have taken nearly 18 years for 9/11 first responders and their families to get peace of mind. While it took far too long for Congress to do the right thing for these heroes, I’m relieved the Senate voted to permanently reauthorize the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is not a strategy – it's cutting off our nose to spite our face. Consider the fact that the majority of migrants arriving at our border are fleeing unspeakable conditions in the Northern Triangle. To impose sanctions would worsen the very conditions migrants are escaping. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We all want our loved ones to receive the quality of care and attention they need. That’s why I will continue working to make sure the recommendations drawn out in this report are met by the agencies responsible for these abuse deficiencies. https://t.co/690VMJHleC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, I discussed @USGAO’s findings at the Senate Finance hearing with @HHSGov and @USGAO officials because we simply can and must do better than this. Congress must do more to ensure the most vulnerable among us are treated with dignity. https://t.co/Z0yN6E3QeL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The details of their report are troubling to say the least: -Abuse in nursing homes across the country has more than doubled between 2013 and 2017 -Physical and mental/verbal abuse occurred most often in nursing homes -Staff were more often the perpetrators of the abuse — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Nearly 1.5 million Americans are in the care of nursing homes. They're our mothers, fathers, grandparents, friends, and they deserve the utmost care and respect. It's why @senrobportman, @ChuckGrassley, @RonWyden and I requested a @USGAO report of cases of abuse in nursing homes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

While @Equifax’s recent settlement brings a degree of closure, financial restitution will not unring the bell – and @senrobportman and I agree that there is far more that needs to be done to ensure something like this never happens again: https://t.co/ZxJBb9hDSf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This year, @senrobportman and I investigated one of the most devastating breaches of our time. We found that @Equifax neglected cybersecurity and ignored vulnerabilities for years and as a result, 145 million Americans’ sensitive info was compromised. https://t.co/17ff4VFrF0 — PolitiTweet.org

I headed across town to @Trinity_tweeps and met with employees and saw how they merging with fellow long-time Delaware company @burrislogistics and expanding! https://t.co/6hpCpOIBI4 — PolitiTweet.org

I went to DC today by way of #SeafordDE and met with Sussex Montessori leaders who are working to open the future school in Fall 2020! Expanding educational opportunities not only helps our students, but also attracts business. https://t.co/DDtiqEV5Md — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

At EPA’s air office, it appears Mr. Wehrum and Mr. Harlow used positions of public trust to dismantle decades-old protections for clean air and climate at the behest of Hunton-associated groups. @SenWhitehouse and I are asking @EPAoig to examine this report and its findings https://t.co/UMBvw0L8DV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The report details how EPA empowered polluting industries and installed their lobbyists and lawyers at the highest levels of our federal government. Is this what @realdonaldtrump calls “draining the swamp”? Our report ➡️ https://t.co/sV43hqATqf https://t.co/8NG6pDyzFG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The facts @SenWhitehouse and I laid out in our new report make a clear, compelling case that Bill Wehrum and his deputy, David Harlow, acted at @EPA to fulfill or further the outcomes sought by their former @HuntonAK clients that were concealed by Hunton-led shadowy groups — PolitiTweet.org
