Today, I met with Delaware native, Piara, to congratulate her on receiving the prestigious Boren Scholarship, and to thank her for her dedication to public service. Then, I called her mom to say what a wonderful job she did raising a bright, hardworking student. https://t.co/kbX5NM9M5Y — PolitiTweet.org

Who said we had to choose one or the other? It’s possible to do both — and we should do both. https://t.co/2mFq9Cu7Ft — PolitiTweet.org

@realDonaldTrump Unfortunately, Congress has ceded much of its authority over trade policy to the executive branch – and it’s time to change that. Read about my bill that ensures Congress has a say in trade policy that affects us all: https://t.co/0QGNpk8gt2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

@realDonaldTrump Tariffs on our trading partners have already cost Delaware businesses an extra $28 million – and that cost will only increase if we don’t reverse course. But @realDonaldTrump continues to double down on his destructive trade tactics that only serve to hurt our economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Like so many Americans, I’m relieved that @realDonaldTrump will not follow through on his threat to impose reckless tariffs on our neighbor, ally and $611.5 billion trading partner, but make no mistake: farmers in Delaware continue to pay the price for his trade war with China. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

.@realDonaldTrump claims his tariff threats led to grand concessions, but the truth is, those concessions were made by the Mexican government months ago. What his threats actually led to was anxiety for American businesses and consumers and uncertainty across the market. — PolitiTweet.org

If EPA won't recover the costs from Scott Pruitt, @SenWhitehouse and I have another idea: https://t.co/2tIvkRY9DY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It's unfair for the American taxpayer to pick up the tab for Scott Pruitt’s $123,942 in outstanding airfare costs, which were deemed unjustified and unnecessary by the EPA IG https://t.co/oGlkG92PWT — PolitiTweet.org

I shudder at the thought of Delaware having no real authority to review and challenge permits for federal energy projects that might threaten our coasts and water resources. States once lived that nightmare—and that's why Congress established section 401 state powers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

EPA is rendering states voiceless and virtually powerless to protect the quality of their water, bending the definition of cooperative federalism to the will of Donald Trump's voracious demand for "energy dominance." https://t.co/bH1kucthEl — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot allow an administration controlled by climate deniers to speak for the American people. My bill with @SenatorShaheen and @SenatorMenendez will help restore our leadership and propel greater collective action to address this global crisis https://t.co/8cS7oxMNt4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Two years ago, @realdonaldtrump withdrew from the historic Paris climate accords. The world watched as America shrunk in the face of the earth’s greatest environmental challenge. https://t.co/JFPuSrJx50 — PolitiTweet.org

Every year, we lose around 200 Delawareans to #gunviolence. That's 200 too many. Today, we #WearOrange to honor victims and survivors and spur the action needed to end this deadly epidemic plaguing our communities https://t.co/ercR4lEbeA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I've long pushed for #DCStatehood because I believe it's a matter of basic fairness. But Delaware left Pennsylvania once, and we're not going back. In fact, we still celebrate that separation every year. See you at the parade tomorrow, @NateSilver538 https://t.co/lk8FebjEUu — PolitiTweet.org

While it's not unhelpful that the automobile industry sent this letter, we are now in the eleventh hour, and I fear it won't be long before the rubber meets the road and the administration’s reckless rollback is finalized. https://t.co/yFUzgSHg58 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

For almost two years now, I’ve spoken with almost every automaker about this proposal—each and every one of those automakers has told me repeatedly that they want the administration to strike a deal with California on fuel economy and greenhouse gas emissions standards. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Part of @realdonaldtrump’s assault on climate action includes undermining science and ignoring the true costs of climate change. I’m proud to join @SenatorBennet on a bill to ensure that sound, science-based math on climate change is used in federal decision-making — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

75 years on, those heroes who bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy will never be forgotten. It is now our responsibility to not just celebrate their legacy, but to honor our veterans and continue working for a future that is worthy of their sacrifice — PolitiTweet.org

My father and my uncles served during World War II, as did so many in their generation alongside Allied forces, to fight for the survival of liberty around the world. Today, and every day, we salute those who served – and those who continue to serve – so selflessly https://t.co/TwoMG9oyJJ — PolitiTweet.org

#DDay was not just the greatest military operation the world had ever seen—it highlighted the true greatness of our nation. Tens of thousands of Americans gave or risked their lives to protect the freedoms of their countrymen and millions of people they would never know. #DDay75 — PolitiTweet.org

It’s @WilmGreekFest week! Did you know the first known Greek Immigrants arrived in Wilmington in 1890? https://t.co/zD9gQyV8zF — PolitiTweet.org

Leadership requires many things. One of those things is the ability to lead by example. It’s not ‘do as I say, but do as I do.’ That goes for a cadet to the Commander-in-Chief. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Many Americans didn’t have the luxury of choosing not to serve during times of war. Many of us who served in the Vietnam War were not ‘fans’ of that war. Many of the tens of thousands who died in the Vietnam War were not ‘fans’ of that war. But we served. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

But today, I didn’t skip out on an opportunity to remind my dear friend @MittRomney of Carper Diem’s win against Mitt Happens last night and we even snapped a photo to memorialize it! Here in the Senate, we play Hardball. https://t.co/OrVhYLNdm1 — PolitiTweet.org

@Amtrak I got to offer some of Delaware’s future leaders words of encouragement and best wishes. And get this: nearly all of its graduates will be attending 4-year colleges this Fall! I couldn’t be more proud of everything the graduates and their teachers have accomplished. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Last night, I was disappointed to miss Carper Diem’s first official Senate softball game of the year, but I’ve never been so happy to get on a @Amtrak train home from DC for the ceremony for Freire Charter School Wilmington’s first graduating class! — PolitiTweet.org

On this #WorldEnvironmentDay let’s take a moment to reflect on these natural wonders and on our moral obligation to serve as serve as stewards of the Earth – our one and only planet. https://t.co/m8820LeHRN — PolitiTweet.org
