Officer Brian D. Sicknick joined the Capitol police more than a decade ago, after serving in our military. He was a true patriot who died in the line of duty, protecting others and our Capitol. My heart and prayers are with Officer Sicknick’s family & loved ones during this time. — PolitiTweet.org

Meeting with @Michael_S_Regan today was a welcome reminder of the potential before us to rebuild a better future. I believe he is up to the monumental task of leading @EPA and working together to address the climate crisis. https://t.co/nGx918s4nM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It’s not enough to simply ‘turn the temperature down.’ My Republican colleagues must unequivocally reject the conspiracy theories and extremism that fueled yesterday's attack. Tell the American people the truth. Choose the world’s greatest democracy over Donald Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, alongside my partner @ChrisCoons, I am repeating my call to @realDonaldTrump urging him to resign immediately. If he refuses, Vice President Pence and his cabinet should have the courage, after what we witnessed yesterday, to say "enough is enough." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Good. He uses Twitter to incite violence. This will not solve all of our problems, but taking away another tool he uses to undermine our democracy and promote dangerous conspiracies is a start. He should be off this platform for the remaining time he has in office. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me be perfectly clear about my thoughts on the unprecedented assault I witnessed firsthand today. My full statement ⤵️: https://t.co/CNq7tKb6b3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our democracy is sacred and as members of Congress, we have an obligation to protect the will of the people. We will certify the results of the 2020 election and ensure President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are sworn in on January 20th. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with their concerns. I am safe. Despite the actions of those who seek to incite fear and undermine our democracy, Congress will not be deterred or intimated from upholding its constitutional duty to certify the electoral college votes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Calling an election unfair does not make it so. More than 60 federal and state courts, involving more than 90 judges, many of whom were nominated by Republican Presidents including President Trump, have made it clear: there is no evidence of widespread fraud or irregularities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As Members of Congress, we swear an oath to support and defend our Constitution—not our political party, and certainly not any individual candidate. Today, I urge my Republican colleagues to remember their duty to uphold our Constitution and our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We are not a government of Trump, by Trump, and for Trump. We are a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. The people have spoken. Congress’ only job today is to listen to them and certify the clear results of the 2020 election. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

There are millions of small businesses that need a helping hand. Tens of millions of students who need to be back in school. Health workers who need our help. 250M Americans who need to be vaccinated. Tomorrow, Congress must accept the results of this election and get to work. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It was so great to meet with @JenGranholm and discuss her nomination to lead @ENERGY. As a recovering governor and clean energy leader, she knows that when we talk about climate action, we are talking about American jobs. https://t.co/LZSf9vCGEE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I often say, "The service we do for others is the rent we pay for our room here on Earth." This coming #MLKDay, let us join @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to honor the life and legacy of Dr. King through service to our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Letting oil companies off the hook for bird deaths in oil spills is wrong. We should not be weakening the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. https://t.co/1hxw0XY3n3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

After meeting with @PeteButtigieg, I understand why my friend @JoeBiden wants him leading @USDOT. He has what it takes to deliver on the promise of building back better and putting our transportation sector on a path to net-zero emissions. https://t.co/r5JFJEbFBR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

One last gasp of science denial. — PolitiTweet.org

ATTN: Delawareans Starting today, many businesses in the First State will no longer offer single-use plastic bags. Remember to bring a reusable bag and do your part to help reduce plastic pollution! https://t.co/lUYlKd8J99 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As a @USNavy veteran, I was proud to join my colleagues to send a strong message: we will uphold our promise to support our service members and their families while ensuring our men and women in uniform have the tools to keep our country and citizens safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is trying to cheat, plain and simple. Members who choose to object on Wednesday should remember that they are siding with this abuse of power instead of the oath we just swore to support and defend our Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, I had the honor of supporting my friend, colleague and wingman, @ChrisCoons, as he was sworn into the 117th Congress. Along with our fellow Delawarean @JoeBiden in the White House, we’re ready to hit the ground running to deliver for First State families in 2021. https://t.co/0WR46H2dLP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, a bipartisan majority in the Senate voted overwhelmingly to override President Trump’s veto of the #NDAA. I was proud to join my colleagues to send a strong message: we will support our service members and their families and protect our national security. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

2020 was a year of many things, including the year that human-made things began to outweigh life on Earth. This is unsustainable. We have to invest in recycling efforts and protect the natural world around us. https://t.co/gFiGwSeGBK — PolitiTweet.org

While our work to ensure clean air for everyone is far from over, we can continue to make improvements with the Clean Air Act as our guide. https://t.co/vdXg4oZwbc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The progress made under the Clean Air Act is proof that improvements in public health and environmental quality go hand in hand with economic growth and job creation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Clean Air Act is a promise to ensure that everyone in our country has clean air to breathe. For 50 years, this landmark law has ushered in dramatic improvements to air quality, improving the health of millions. During that same time, our economy has expanded. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

While I continue to be amazed by this administration’s penchant for science denial, I am confident that this irresponsible rollback will not impede the incoming administration’s efforts to restore the use of science in rulemaking. https://t.co/PkC4alAlEV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In the final days of the Trump Administration, EPA has finalized its rule that will suppress scientific research and censor scientists and experts. It’s just one last gasp of science denial. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

On Saturday, @realDonaldTrump downplayed Russia’s massive cyber attack against the U.S. government. This week, he vetoed a bill that would have bolstered our nation’s cyber defenses and countered the ever-evolving threats to our national security. https://t.co/2UVu9hQG6x — PolitiTweet.org
