There’s a lot on the line today. The Fifth Circuit will hear oral arguments in a lawsuit filed by Republicans to completely invalidate the #ACA. If successful, that means protections for millions living with pre-existing conditions, including 400,000 Delawareans – GONE. https://t.co/YlmXujd0zA — PolitiTweet.org

The growing threat of climate change means more extreme weather in D.C., in Delaware and in cities around the country. At every turn, @realdonaldtrump is making matters worse. https://t.co/0VHIumdhiH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

And later this afternoon, we can expect that @realdonaldtrump will try to convince the country that more carbon emissions is a good thing — PolitiTweet.org

But I’m disappointed that it didn’t restore crucial aid for Northern Triangle countries from which migrants are fleeing. The Trump Administration was wrong to zero out that aid Congress passed with bipartisan support. We won’t fix this crisis by only dealing with the symptoms. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s why I voted last week to send $4.6 billion in emergency humanitarian assistance to ensure better care and more timely processing for migrants — especially families and children — detained at our Southern Border. https://t.co/94aXWEgBSK — PolitiTweet.org

Every major religion has a form of the Golden Rule — to treat others the way we want to be treated. Mistreatment of migrants and the poor conditions in which they are living is not in keeping with our values as a nation, let alone our moral obligation to care for our fellow man. — PolitiTweet.org

Independence Day also reminds me of the work we have ahead of us to make our nation a more perfect union. We can, and always should, strive to do better. But today, we celebrate the great progress we have made and our brave service members who dedicated their lives to get us here — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

But on this Independence Day, between all of the festivities, we should also take a moment and recognize the brave men and women of our armed forces who have fought for the freedoms we enjoy today. #4thofJuly — PolitiTweet.org

The celebration of our nation’s birthday is one of my favorite holidays because we get to celebrate it with friends, family and our fellow Americans. Today, I was glad to be with so many fellow Delawareans at the Smyrna-Clayton, Bethany Beach and Hockessin parades. #4thofJuly — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Back in 1776, our Founding Fathers argued about many things. But there was one thing they agreed on – they didn't want an all-powerful king. It’s important to not lose sight of that as we celebrate the birth of a system created of the people, by the people and for the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Celebrating our nation’s birthday is not about one person or party. It’s about honoring the values we all hold dear as Americans and the brave men and women who have, for generations, risked their lives to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m on @wdel with Mark Fowser this morning. Tune in! https://t.co/PuEgjbkECy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I’ve said from the start that @realDonaldTrump’s pursuit to add a #CitizenshipQuestion to the #2020Census was troubling, legally questionable and threatened its accuracy. Taking the idea off the table is the right thing to do, but it shouldn’t have been pursued in the first place — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Yesterday, I joined Delawareans who stepped up in a big way to help lift up our neighbors. Together, we cut the ribbon to officially open Dover Interfaith Mission's new housing facility that will provide a second chance to some of our most vulnerable community members. https://t.co/Mql03zRASc — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see Governor @JohnCarneyDE taking another step to help Delaware lead on climate change. Eliminating HFCs – supported by Republicans and Democrats alike – would cut down on a potent greenhouse gas and help American companies export innovation https://t.co/tKeCltdBNT — PolitiTweet.org

Great to see Governor @JohnCarney taking another step to help the First State lead on climate change. Eliminating HFCs – supported by Republicans and Democrats alike – would cut down on a potent greenhouse gas and help American companies export innovation https://t.co/tKeCltdBNT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today at @westsidehealth, I joined Delaware doctors, health care leaders, and brave patients with pre-existing conditions to tell the Trump Administration that enough is enough. We won't stand for continued attacks on the life-saving care on which millions depend. #ProtectOurCare https://t.co/uwFpgrume1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

If Republicans get their way in this lawsuit, the entire Affordable Care Act would be invalidated. That includes critical protections for nearly 400,000 Delawareans, and 133 million Americans, living with pre-existing conditions. https://t.co/s8Trna2Jqd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Make no mistake: the Trump Administration is working overtime to take away millions of Americans' health care coverage. Next week, oral arguments will begin in a lawsuit brought by 18 Republican Attorneys General and Governors to completely eliminate the #ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I’m proud to introduce the first ever bipartisan Senate resolution to honor the brave individuals at #StonewallInn who fought for justice in the face of violence and discrimination decades ago. Together, we recommit to continue our fight to ensure equality for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

50 years ago today, the LGBTQ community took an extraordinary step and changed the course of history in our country. The courage displayed at #Stonewall50 spurred a movement and stands as a testament to the power of brave citizens to make a difference and inspire generations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As always, it was a beautiful day at the gardens of @WinterthurMuse!

But to truly resolve irregular migration, we must address the poverty, violence, and lack of economic opportunity in Central America where the majority of migrants are fleeing. It was a serious mistake for @realDonaldTrump to cut funding. My statement: https://t.co/hPDRE4MkNZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This funding will help address the humanitarian crisis at our border and ensure migrants are treated humanely and processed in a timely manner. While this bill is not perfect, I appreciate @SenShelby and @SenatorLeahy working to craft a bipartisan bill that offers real solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

What a great memory ahead of tonight's annual Congressional baseball game – a good-spirited tradition in D.C. I was proud to play on the Democratic team when I served in the House. It was always one of the things that brought both parties together – and I’m glad it still does! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Here we go again. President Trump threatens more tariffs with no regard for Delawareans who remain the collateral damage of his unpredictable trade wars. Enough is enough. It’s time for the President to start putting our farmers, consumers, and economy ahead of politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

While two governments are hard at work advancing the cars of the future, the Trump Administration is stuck in reverse. https://t.co/Woeid6ps4y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

When our firefighters fall ill due to smoke inhalation and other hazards faced on the job, we have a responsibility to make sure they get the support they need. That's why, I’m proud to reintroduce a bipartisan bill with @SenatorCollins to do just that. https://t.co/EFLpzzCtrc — PolitiTweet.org
