I've traveled to Central America many times, often with then-VP Biden. On my trip two years ago, I met with leaders from Northern Triangle countries and saw firsthand the dire circumstances that force families to flee the only country they’ve ever known in search of safety. — PolitiTweet.org

The #USCitizenshipAct shows that we can: ➡️protect our nation’s Dreamers ➡️grow our economy ➡️encourage family reunification ➡️tackle root causes that force migrants to seek refuge at our Southern border All at the same time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

For the last four years, we had a President who demonized immigrants and tried to use the issue of immigration to divide us. Those days are over. The #USCitizenshipAct, championed by @POTUS, lives up to our nation's belief that we are built and made better by immigrants. — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: 16 months after the release of my bipartisan report with @senrobportman, @USGSA is adopting many of our recommendations. This is a significant step toward protecting the integrity of the comment process and ensuring Americans’ voices are heard in Washington. — PolitiTweet.org

Delawareans deserve answers about persistent mail delays at @USPS. Restoring on-time delivery, especially during a pandemic, is critical. This is also not a time to make changes that will harm service for Americans. Hope there aren’t delays in sending your response, Mr. DeJoy! — PolitiTweet.org

The best leaders come from the smallest states! It was a pleasure meeting with @GovRaimondo, a passionate public servant and @POTUS's pick to lead @CommerceGov. As a recovering Governor, Gina and I had a lot to discuss. I know she'll do great things as Sec. of Commerce. https://t.co/9v1IpKa5bG — PolitiTweet.org

My prayers are with the families struggling in the cold right now. Our nation’s critical infrastructure is vulnerable to extreme weather events. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the resiliency investments needed to protect communities. https://t.co/FZkzzAj4uE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Part of building back better is making our infrastructure more resilient to extreme weather like ice storms. Who is ready to work together and make that a reality? — PolitiTweet.org

The First State finally has its first President! Wishing a happy President's Day to my friend and fellow Delawarean, @POTUS! https://t.co/ozfZDIKiNS — PolitiTweet.org

Three years ago, 17 innocent lives were taken at Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS. My heart was broken then, and it is still today.   We can't continue to fail to address the gun violence epidemic in our country. We have a moral obligation to act and to save lives. #EnoughisEnough — PolitiTweet.org

Happy Valentine's Day to my wife, Martha.   I’m lucky to have called you my valentine for over three decades. Here's to three more! https://t.co/ekIEFGsUVt — PolitiTweet.org

As Senators, we take an oath to support and defend the Constitution. I've proudly taken this oath many times, both in uniform and as an elected official. Today, I proudly upheld that oath - for Delawareans and all Americans - by voting to convict the former President. — PolitiTweet.org

In 1791 during a debate to abolish the slave trade, William Wilberforce, an abolitionist & member of Parliament, said: "Having heard all of this, you may choose to look the other way, but you can never again say you did not know." My republican colleagues chose to look away. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The House Managers presented overwhelming evidence and demonstrated that Donald Trump incited the violence we all witnessed on Jan. 6th. Yet too many of my Republican colleagues refused to hold him accountable for his undeniable role in the unprecedented insurrection. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, I voted to convict former President Trump for his role in inciting a violent and deadly mob that assaulted the US Capitol on Jan. 6th in an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election and overturn the will of the American people. ⬇️THREAD⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Scripture tells us that the truth will set us free. I think that knowing the real truth now will also keep us free. — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate officially awarded Officer Goodman the Congressional Gold Medal. A well deserved honor for an enormously heroic act. Thank you, Officer Goodman. — PolitiTweet.org

Today marks the beginning of the Great Backyard Bird Count, which helps scientists gather data on local bird populations in the First State. Consider participating in #GBBC this weekend and don't forget to bundle up if you do. https://t.co/miWatfMvBW — PolitiTweet.org

The most effective way to put this pandemic in our rearview mirror is to get vaccines into the arms of as many Americans as possible as quickly as possible. This is priority number one and @POTUS knows it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our frontline workers at @DelawareEMA are working around the clock to get Delawareans vaccinated. We are so thankful for all DEMA has done and continues to do for the First State! Thanks for keeping us safe & healthy! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This morning, @POTUS made it clear that investing in transportation is a top priority. I’m putting together a bipartisan bill that reduces greenhouse gas emissions, creates jobs to strengthen our economy, and moves us to a cleaner, safer future. There is no time to waste. https://t.co/xaFm6r2qAj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Effective leadership is critical to the success of any organization. Yet another reason for the Senate to confirm ⁦@Michael_S_Regan⁩ so he can get to work. https://t.co/oj7TiSPotB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I had the opportunity today to speak with the Secretary of the VA, @DenisMcDonough. We spoke about both the challenges and opportunities facing the VA and his plans to help make it better for our veterans. I look forward to working with you in the months ahead, Mr. Secretary! — PolitiTweet.org

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This video is worth far more than that. It is gripping, and I assure you that it is worth watching in full. https://t.co/5lWLcW9nkk — PolitiTweet.org

I have no doubt that my friend and colleague, @SenatorLeahy, will preside over the impeachment trial with the seriousness this matter deserves and conduct this trial with fairness to all. — PolitiTweet.org

There is no shortage of work that we need OMB to get started on quickly. That's why the Senate should act swiftly to confirm @neeratanden, a policy expert who will bring personal experiences to help ensure our government works better for the people it should serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

.@NeeraTanden is an experienced policy expert who is ready to lead the Office of Management and Budget. As our nation faces both public health & economic crises, she understands that it'll take an all hands on deck approach to put an end to this pandemic and restore our economy. — PolitiTweet.org
