I’m a strong supporter of the data requirements and tough deadlines that were included in the #STOPAct to stop the flow of drugs, but it’s clear that the current administration has fallen down on the job in implementing this program. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The truth is that deadly and illicit drugs can easily be found for sale online. A quick search for “buy fentanyl online no prescription” on search engines like Google or Bing yielded websites that claimed to sell and discreetly ship to American homes. https://t.co/mf9ezUZk2o — PolitiTweet.org

While our focus is on the COVID-19 pandemic, we also face a drug overdose crisis that in 2019 claimed over 71,000 lives. That’s why @senrobportman & I held a hearing today on the implementation of the #STOPAct, a program that seeks to stop the flow of drugs into our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

Not only would Tai be the first woman of color to serve as USTR, but her previous role at USTR as Chief Counsel for China Trade Enforcement would prove valuable as the Biden Administration confronts China’s unfair trade practices. Tai would be a smart choice with broad support. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Naming Katherine Tai as our country’s top trade negotiator would be an excellent call. In USMCA, she helped pass the strongest labor and environmental enforcement provisions to date, and she has the experience to ensure our trade policies are once again consistent, not chaotic. — PolitiTweet.org

While we're closer than ever to getting #DCStatehood over the finish line, we have a chance to make sure over 700,000 U.S. taxpayers are treated fairly right now as they too, battle this pandemic. Let’s make sure DC receives equal funding in the next #COVID19 relief package. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Americans living in Washington, DC do not have equal representation here in Congress and, because of that, they were short-changed more than $700 million in the last COVID relief package - despite paying more in federal taxes per capita than citizens of any other state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

#COVID19 is surging and hospitals around the country are becoming overwhelmed. The economic fallout of this crisis has devastated communities nationwide – including those in our nation’s capital. And they need help. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

When @EPA announced this plan in June, I called it out for what it was—a legally flawed effort to justify air pollution. It still is. But now, in December, it’s also a waste of time and resources. I have no doubt that it will be reversed by the Biden administration. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @JohnCarneyDE: ⏰December 15 is the deadline for open enrollment on the health insurance marketplace. Check out your options and #GetCov… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our state and local governments continue to be under enormous and unprecedented strain. The longer we wait to get them much-needed assistance, the more our communities suffer and the more at risk we put our entire economy. https://t.co/88lCiZGDTX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Spread the word: Only EIGHT days left to enroll in the #ACA marketplace! There’s no time to waste. To ensure you have health care in 2021, register anytime from today to December 15 at https://t.co/3KDAz9OcAn or https://t.co/82GazP9Dql and make sure you get covered. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I applaud @TransportDems Chairman @RepPeterDeFazio, Ranking Member @RepSamGraves, and the House for passing WRDA legislation that will expand and enhance investments in our water infrastructure and coastal resilience. It's time for the Senate to pass this bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We will soon be celebrating 50 years of the Clean Air Act, but this new report is a reminder that @EPA can and must do better to ensure clean air for everyone. This should be a wake-up call. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

“We may disagree in politics but not in the future that we want for our children." Well said, @SenatorTomUdall. Our country and our communities are safer and healthier thanks to your work, and it has been an honor to serve with you in the U.S. Senate and call you a friend. — PolitiTweet.org

From the results of a free and fair election to effective treatments for the coronavirus, it’s time for HSGAC Republicans to stop spreading misinformation and work to help the American people. https://t.co/gpKf7MCjTE — PolitiTweet.org

From the results of a free and fair election to effective treatments for the coronavirus, it’s time for @HSGAC leaders to stop spreading misinformation and work to help the American people. https://t.co/gpKf7MCjTE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The bipartisan recommendations in the report lay out concrete steps that the next administration can take to prioritize the care and safety of children who are already fleeing unspeakable conditions in their home countries. Read the full report here: https://t.co/3rTxZ2EwPM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This lack of oversight could have put already vulnerable children in potential danger and it could cost taxpayers over $32M on shelters that will never open. We must do better. We cannot allow the gaps in our broken immigration system to fail these children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We found that although HHS reviews each grant application, it had no policy to restrict funding for grantees that didn’t have a license to operate nor did it require grant applicants to disclose adverse government actions taken against them regarding the care of children. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today @senrobportman & I released our latest in a series of reports on our government’s care of unaccompanied migrant children. Our findings: a lack of adequate oversight on for-profit shelter applicants failed to protect children & potentially wasted millions in taxpayer funds. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Nearly 300,000 Americans have died of COVID-19. Over 1,000 Americans each day. And what do Chairman Johnson and @HSGAC Republicans do? Invite a discredited anti-vaxxer to testify on treatments for the coronavirus. It’s irresponsible and a waste of our committee’s time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

If you don’t believe me, believe @ashishkjha and nearly fifty of his colleagues in the medical field. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Tomorrow, @HSGAC will be holding their second hearing on treatments for the coronavirus. This is an important topic. But Republicans are using it as a chance to give voice to dangerous conspiracy theories which could cost people their lives. https://t.co/rSDyKq5rz1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We are in the midst of one of the most dangerous waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hospitals nationwide are facing tremendous strain. Health care workers are exhausted. Families are spending holidays apart to stay safe. We need an all-hands-on-deck approach to get through this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

For too long, the air monitoring system has been ignored, especially in terms of tracking air toxics, like mercury, in our communities. This study is another reason why we need to pass legislation that improves our air monitoring systems. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We each have a responsibility to keep our loved ones and ourselves safe during these trying times. That means ensuring we have access to quality, affordable health care. So don't wait! There are only NINE days left to enroll at https://t.co/3KDAz9OcAn! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Doing the same thing and expecting different results is the definition of insanity. In the last hours of the Trump Administration, @EPA continues to work around the clock to cement its anti-science, pro-polluter agenda. https://t.co/DoZhRtse3I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This project—funded mostly through federal dollars—reminds us that our states and localities can’t improve our nation’s infrastructure alone. It’s also an example of how we can enhance our existing infrastructure in a way that increases mobility while reducing carbon pollution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This third rail will improve the speed and reliability of rail service in the busy Northeast Corridor, helping to reduce the number of cars on our roads and the pollution in our air. — PolitiTweet.org
