As Attorney General, we need Judge Garland, a principled, consensus-building public servant, who will make sure DOJ remains independent. He will work every day to earn the trust of Americans and restore integrity to @TheJusticeDept. The senate must #ConfirmGarland swiftly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Trump DOJ broke the longstanding precedent to operate above the political fray. From trying to take away Americans' health care to overseeing immigration policies that locked children in cages to remaining silent after the murder of George Floyd. But those days are over. https://t.co/U8kzpwRKeq — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @HSGAC reported out the nomination of Shalanda Young to be Deputy Director of OMB. Ms. Young is talented, knowledgeable and will bring years of experience from her work on @AppropsDems to her new post. The full Senate should consider her nomination without delay. — PolitiTweet.org

The recent crisis in Texas is a tragic example of how our electric grid isn’t prepared for climate-related extreme weather events. This morning, I'm holding a hearing on how we can and must invest in a cleaner, more resilient electric sector. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is great news! The smallest of small businesses in the First State and around the country need our support. Thanks to @POTUS, mom-and-pop shops are getting the resources they need to stay open. — PolitiTweet.org

Elections have consequences for wildlife as well. I am pleased to see @Interior reverse course on the previous administration's effort to weaken the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. There has to be accountability when it comes to protecting bird species. https://t.co/VzUxLhWnV6 — PolitiTweet.org

On this #InternationalWomensDay, we honor the countless women who have been fighting on the frontlines of this pandemic since day one in the United States and around the globe. To the health care workers, teachers, grocery store workers and many more — ⁠we are so grateful. — PolitiTweet.org

I was proud to vote for the CARES Act which made the Hope Center possible. Today, we celebrate the public servants like my former staffer Carrie and the hardworking folks at the Hope Center who put CARES funds to work to turn this hotel into a warm, safe home for 214 Delawareans. https://t.co/bv9xwJ8J2K — PolitiTweet.org

Healthier watersheds mean healthier communities. Thank you @DelRivCoalition for inviting me to discuss my work towards policies that reduce pollution in the Delaware River, rebuff the impacts of climate change, and improve access to clean water. — PolitiTweet.org

56 years ago today, John Lewis walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in his life-long fight for civil rights - including the right to vote. It’s no coincidence that today, @POTUS will take action to expand access to voter registration to make it easier - not harder - to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I’m optimistic we will be on the road to recovery soon, but now is not the time to become complacent. This legislation will provide the relief that so many Americans need in the short term so that we can come back stronger than before. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We know American families are struggling. Our rescue plan offers targeted direct payments to individuals and families and enhanced unemployment benefits to ensure that the neediest among us get the help that they need to weather this pandemic and emerge on strong footing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Small businesses in Delaware and across the country have been suffering during this pandemic. Thankfully, help is on the way. This package adds an additional $7.25B into PPP and gives another $15B towards Targeted Advance grants to help the hardest-hit small businesses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As a result of this pandemic, too many kids have fallen behind. They need resources to catch up. That's why I'm proud this package includes funding for robust summer school education and broadband so that all students can access the tools needed for a 21st-century education. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Getting more vaccines in more arms is the best thing that we can do to keep ourselves and our communities safe. The #AmericanRescuePlan will provide significant resources to improve the effective distribution and administration of vaccines across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We know that to get our economy back on track, we need to put this pandemic in our rearview mirror and ensure we can get Americans back to work and kids back in the classroom safely. The #AmericanRescuePlan provide us with resources to help us do just that.⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s been a sleepless night in the Senate, but that pales in comparison to what Americans have gone through this past year. We will continue working until every last vote is cast and we pass the #AmericanRescuePlan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thanks to the countless Veterans Service Organizations and advocates who have called on Congress to close the 90/10 loophole over the past decade. Bravo Zulu! @AmericanLegion, @GIBillRights, @iava, @MilitaryOfficer, @studentvets, @TAPSorg, @VFWHQ and @VVAmerica — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

My bipartisan amendment to the #AmericanRescuePlan with Senator @JerryMoran closes the 90/10 loophole, protects our student veterans, and gives Congress time to work alongside veteran groups on a lasting solution that works best for our veterans and taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

For too long, bad-actors in the for-profit college sector have exploited the 90/10 loophole and taken advantage of military and veteran students for their generous GI Bill benefits. Today, after a decade-long call, the Senate is taking steps to close this loophole. https://t.co/lx1DDPHQXK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

That's why today, I reintroduced The Treat and Reduce Obesity Act with Senator @BillCassidy. This common sense, bipartisan legislation would unleash federal Medicare dollars towards obesity treatments to help millions of Americans lead longer and healthier lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The epidemic of obesity is hurting far too many families all across our country. More than 40 percent of Americans suffer from obesity, making them more vulnerable to conditions like diabetes, heart disease and others - which are even more dangerous during a global pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Failing to address the gun violence epidemic in our country is not an option. #EnoughisEnough. It’s time to pass common-sense reforms like the Background Check Expansion Act - which will strengthen background checks for gun sales and help keep firearms out of criminal hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The House just passed the #ForThePeople Act - landmark legislation that reduces the role of money in politics and returns power to the people by making it easier - not harder - to vote.   This is about preserving our democracy. It’s time to bring it up and pass it in the Senate. https://t.co/f4HZ6yE59p — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This #WorldWildlifeDay, I introduced legislation with @senrobportman that combines two of my favorite things: wildlife conservation and @USPS. I hope this bill reaches @POTUS' desk in short order so we can ensure all 45 million stamps are sold to help combat biodiversity threats. — PolitiTweet.org
