Mr. President, our democracy is built on the intricate system of checks and balances enshrined in our Constitution. That means that Congress and the American people we represent have a right to hear directly from Special Counsel Mueller. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SenJohnKennedy and I just reintroduced a common sense bill in the Senate that would save millions of taxpayer dollars by providing federal agencies with the tools they need to prevent improper payments to deceased people. Read about our no-brainer bill: https://t.co/wCqRL2bKty — PolitiTweet.org

This report paints a vivid picture of our role in driving global extinction – and makes this administration’s efforts to roll back #EndangeredSpecies protections that much more ridiculous https://t.co/ZwjhQ9x4t5 — PolitiTweet.org

Before heading to Washington this morning, I stopped by Mohawk Electrical Systems, a family-owned manufacturer that’s been in business in Milford for 56 years and counting! #netde https://t.co/oWO5IKzwta — PolitiTweet.org

At Eisenberg Elementary, Colonial Supt. Dr. Dusty Blakey and his team started a wellness center that is a model for elem. schools throughout the state. Thanks to the “Big E” leadership students, faculty & staff for the warm welcome, tour & inspiring conversation! #bergnation https://t.co/WhIEvWFCZm — PolitiTweet.org

I can’t wrap my head around this one. This latest rollback willfully ignores the lessons learned from the BP oil spill – a tragedy that took 11 lives and went on to become one of our country’s worst-ever environmental disasters https://t.co/V83NAPASOr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I applaud the House’s action to restore America’s global leadership on climate change. Low-lying states like Delaware don’t have time to wait for climate deniers to come to their senses – our state is sinking as the sea is rising. We need #ClimateActionNow. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today and every day, we must #NeverForget the horrors of one of the darkest chapters in human history and the millions of lives lost. #HolocaustRemembranceDay must also serve as a reminder that it is up to all of us to speak up and reject hate, bigotry and violence in every form https://t.co/REhIcL3ZYu — PolitiTweet.org

"As long as you keep kids at the center, the rest falls into place." Wise words from Delaware's @TeachForAmerica Executive Director, Tamara Smith, who fights to make educational equity a reality. https://t.co/HIS61hBemV — PolitiTweet.org

In life and in death, Staff Sgt. Slutman epitomized the best of America. He selflessly put his life on the line to protect and serve his country and his community. Tonight, on the Senate floor, I’ll pay tribute to an American hero and patriot who was taken from us far too soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thank you @ATSSAHQ for inviting me to talk about the road ahead on #infrastructure and how we can work together to advance transportation safety (@DelawareDOT, any streets need a new name?) https://t.co/z2cjA1hOTY — PolitiTweet.org

"I think we need to hear more about the Special Counsel's work from the Special Counsel." I agree with my friend, @ChrisCoons. — PolitiTweet.org

Mueller to Barr 14 days earlier: “The summary letter the Department sent to Congress...did not fully capture the context, nature, and substance of this office’s work and conclusions.” It doesn’t get more clear. It’s long past time to hear what else Mueller has to say. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Spent time today with some of @ZEROTOTHREE's smallest advocates who are reminding us in Congress to #ThinkBabies and invest in key programs that ensure all children have the opportunity for a good start in life. https://t.co/ltIQ5NaoxP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

.@secwilkie and I heard directly from our veterans in the region and learned about an impressive partnership between @Udelaware and @WilmingtonVAMC that serves as a national model for new, smart ways that we can all be working together to better serve our veterans. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Just wrapped another great veterans summit that I host annually -- this year with @secwilkie. https://t.co/H1dZfwVgOa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Senator Lugar was a true statesman and a gentleman. He personified what a senator used to be and what a senator still ought to be. We could all stand to learn from his decency and the example he set. https://t.co/kYJEKsbEDe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, @SecWilkie and I will learn about a first-of-its-kind partnership between @WilmingtonVAMC and @UDelaware that is aimed at making sure our veterans get the care they deserve at our VA medical centers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This morning, I’m proud to welcome @SecWilkie to Wilmington for my annual veterans summit where, every year, I invite veterans from around our state to help leaders learn first-hand about what we can be doing better for those who have served. https://t.co/Bsx9pt9REs — PolitiTweet.org

The draft guidance finally released by EPA fails to adequately protect public health from this emerging crisis. Americans deserve to see some urgency from @EPA on this issue. https://t.co/MS6gsOSPwG — PolitiTweet.org

It’s a sad day for Delaware and our nation, as we mourn the loss of a patriot and hero. I’m grateful to have been able to join Staff Sgt. Christopher Slutman’s family, friends and fellow service members to honor a man who, like so many who chose to serve, was twice the citizen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Winston Churchill once said, “the reservist is twice the citizen.” And scripture tells us: “No greater love hath a man, than that he lay down his life for his friends.” — PolitiTweet.org

Until 2014, Delaware was the only state without a national park, and for years, I worked to change that. Today, I’m proud families can visit the First State National Park and learn how our state helped launch the most enduring experiment in democracy – America. #NationalParkWeek https://t.co/9zotpmzKVb — PolitiTweet.org

The #2020Census will determine where billions of dollars of federal funding goes — from hospitals and schools to emergency services and law enforcement. Yet, still, the Trump Administration is intent on threatening its accuracy. #CountMeIn the fight for a fair census. — PolitiTweet.org

From the catwalk below we were able to see the future site of the protection structures. This project will bolster American competitiveness and help secure a crucial bridge that 80,000 vehicles cross over every day https://t.co/qhP2yEYWfq — PolitiTweet.org
