The power plant rule finalized today is a failure of vision and an abdication of leadership. — PolitiTweet.org

This week, I sat down with the First State’s @GoodMultiplied award winners. From combating homelessness with “Blessings in a Bag” to helping young mothers in need of assistance – I couldn’t be more proud of these Delawareans for helping create stronger, more connected communities https://t.co/QHTEiCXIGY — PolitiTweet.org

Happy birthday to my wonderful wife and partner for over three decades, Martha! Christopher, Ben and I are so lucky to have you in our lives. Here’s to another year with you that feels just like a day at the beach! https://t.co/qSsopeQASj — PolitiTweet.org

As I predicted, @realDonaldTrump's foolish decision to walk away from a carefully crafted international nuclear deal with no alternative in place could increase the odds of armed conflict with Iran, and provoke a nuclear arms race in the region. We've got to be smarter than this — PolitiTweet.org

I’m also reminded how fortunate we are to have three sons as wonderful as Christopher, Ben and Greg - and Greg’s children who call me Grandpa Tom. I wish everyone many blessings on this very special day Father’s Day. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

When my sister, Sheila, and I were growing up in Virginia, our two favorite TV shows involved fathers with three sons — My Three Sons and Bonanza. I always wondered what it would be like to have three sons. Today I feel blessed as I watched my son Christopher receive his MBA ... https://t.co/RixQHVNHsp — PolitiTweet.org

This #FlagDay, I'm celebrating by proudly holding up the First State flag alongside what I hope becomes the newest state flag. Lack of fair representation is inconsistent with the values we all share as Americans, and I'm proud to work with @EleanorNorton for #DCStatehood. https://t.co/HeoUaaYBkM — PolitiTweet.org

This #pridemonth, and every day, we join together to celebrate the contributions and courage of our #LGBTQ community in Delaware and across the country and continue our fight to ensure true equality for all. https://t.co/mfkxeGzfJ8 — PolitiTweet.org

WATCH: My friend and colleague @ChrisCoons pressed Attorney General Barr about whether or not a campaign should contact the @FBI if offered foreign help. Attorney General Barr’s answer? Yes. — PolitiTweet.org

The President of the United States: There was NO COLLUSION Also the President of the United States: I’d certainly be open to collusion This is not normal. It’s dangerous and should shock us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

All of these violations in the Trump era can start to feel normal, but they're not. No one is above the law, and I won't stop working to hold the Trump Administration accountable. https://t.co/9o7xLG7LMt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

A foreign adversary interfered in an American election. Now, the President of the United States openly invites more interference. This goes beyond politics. If there's one thing that should unite Democrats and Republicans it must be protecting our democracy from foreign attacks — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you, @ALSphiladelphia for tirelessly working to enhance the quality of life of those living with #ALS while never giving up on the fight for a cure. — PolitiTweet.org

I may not be running for President in 2020, but these #RoadWarriors were nice enough to take some time out of their day and talk to me. Thanks for chatting, @KatyTurNBC and @jacobsoboroff! https://t.co/0HPCm3l2Hh — PolitiTweet.org

Developers, on the other hand, required about 990 permits per year. If you look at 390,000 permits these agencies included in their economic analysis, you'll find that less than 1% of permits were issued for agriculture. So who truly benefits from the #DirtyWaterRule? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Instead of the promised clarity and simplicity, the #DirtyWaterRule's faulty and incomplete definitions will end up demanding time, money and a boatload of consultants to figure out. Meanwhile, the only things we're sure to have are degraded wetlands and polluted headwaters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Despite the hardships facing our farmers today, they do not really need the false promise of the #DirtyWaterRule. Since the days of Richard Nixon, Congress and EPA have ensured that farmers engaged in normal farming activities are not affected by Clean Water Act obligations. https://t.co/px6H0yn2CR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is just no way to do business. So, I ask a simple question: Why should anyone trust that the changes the Trump Administration proposes to the definition of waters of the United States are going to deliver for our agricultural producers? The simple answer: We can’t. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

@realDonaldTrump In the Midwest, farmers are still reeling from catastrophic floods—and this administration’s surrender on climate change ensures that more floods, worsening droughts and fires the size of states will continue to keep farmers and crops off their fields. https://t.co/jhZkdEbTQp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Just this week, my team heard from someone whose family has been farming for over a century. They've learned how to budget for unexpected droughts, rainfall or freezing temperatures—but they could never foresee the impacts of @realDonaldTrump's trade wars. https://t.co/wXCn0N0v7A — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In Delaware, we've proven time and again that we can have commonsense protections for our environment without hampering our agricultural sector's ability to grow and prosper. Unfortunately, our farmers are facing real adversity right now. https://t.co/FhFzl61tKv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

@EPWDems There is perhaps no other sector of the economy more intrinsically tied to environmental quality than the agricultural sector. After all, our farmers need clean water and healthy soil to produce high quality crops. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today @EPWDems are setting the record straight about the #DirtyWaterRule, which leaves millions of wetland acres and stream miles vulnerable to pollution, endangering public health and critical habitats and creating significant uncertainty for all Americans. https://t.co/5HTRb9JCXd — PolitiTweet.org

Businesses do well by doing what is good—especially what is good for the environment around them. https://t.co/gS2Prejf8v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is unfolding right before our eyes, with potentially catastrophic impacts on public health and environmental quality. @USGAO accepted my request to analyze this issue – and it is high time that the Trump Administration address this mounting threat. https://t.co/X6zexz8Xov — PolitiTweet.org

Melting ice and rising seas accelerated by climate change are threatening to expose toxic nuclear waste at several federal sites around the world https://t.co/IXHokoNuV6 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m excited to join @AtlanticCouncil tomorrow to discuss the real costs of @realDonaldTrump’s trade wars and his latest tariff threats on Mexico, and offer serious solutions to irregular migration at our U.S. Southern border. — PolitiTweet.org
