In the Navy, this is what we call “all hands on deck.” When it comes to the climate crisis, we need all hands on deck. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As elected officials, we have an obligation to ensure the voices of the American people are heard. As the #COVID19 pandemic continues to surge and devastate our communities and economy, Americans are loud and clear: they need financial relief, and they need it now. — PolitiTweet.org

It is on each and every one of us to slow the spread of COVID-19. That means: 🧼 Wash your hands 😷 Wear a mask 🤧 Stay home when you're sick 🤒 Get tested — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

With cases of COVID-19 on the rise around the country, it's crucial we in the First State must remain guided by science and continue to prioritize the safety of others. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Wearing a mask isn’t a political statement. Wearing a mask is about basic human decency and protecting those around us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is beyond troubling.   We should be figuring out smart, effective ways to combat and understand this rise in hate crimes. Instead, Senate Republicans on @HSGAC – who have the authority to do just that – have been carrying out @realDonaldTrump's baseless political errands. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In 1990, we lawmakers wanted to ensure the next generation understood the importance of protecting our planet. 30 years after the National Environmental Education Act became law, the next generation wants to ensure we lawmakers understand the importance of protecting our planet. — PolitiTweet.org

@EPWDems Over the years, I’ve recycled a Ford Explorer, paint thinners, electronics and TVs, outdoor tree lights, a dehumidifier and so much more. If you’ve ever asked yourself, "can I recycle this?" you’re not alone! Learn more about what items can #BeRecycled: https://t.co/kEbd9ZaBuf — PolitiTweet.org

As we celebrate progress today, we are reminded that the Clean Air Act can help us confront and overcome one of most difficult, complex and important issues facing our nation and our planet. This landmark law can help us confront and overcome the climate crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Fortunately, President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris have made clear that their administration will defend and use its Clean Air Act authorities to ensure #CleanAirForAll and as an indispensable tool in the fight against climate change. https://t.co/n4mddrpaIJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In too many communities – especially in communities of color and Indigenous communities – people are still struggling to breathe on high pollution days. Pollution still poisons the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we put on the table. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Clean Air Act has stood the test of time because it created an adaptable roadmap to ensuring every American has an essential right—clean air to breathe. But while our nation enjoys cleaner air than we did 30 years ago, our work to ensure #CleanAirForAll is far from over. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The worsening environmental and public health crises all around us were impossible to ignore—they galvanized bipartisan momentum. Congress mustered the courage and resolve to meet our nation’s air quality crisis with a response commensurate with the risks it posed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

It was clear that our nation was facing an air quality crisis: Industrial pollution formed clouds of toxic soot. Acid rain fell from our skies. Smog suffocated our communities. Mercury, lead and arsenic polluted our air, water and food. The ozone layer was rapidly depleting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Despite the difficulty, division, complexity and fear of costs, 400 representatives and 89 senators sent the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 to Republican President George H.W. Bush's desk. Sweeping, progressive reforms were signed into law with overwhelming bipartisan support. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In 1990, I had the privilege of working alongside the late Chairman John Dingell of the House @EnergyCommerce Committee. As Chairman Dingell said at the time, clean air was "one of the most difficult, divisive, complex, costly and important issues" Congress ever had to confront. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. We can be hopeful about the prospects for meaningful action that meets the challenges of our day. That’s what today reminds us. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This #AmericaRecyclesDay, let’s remember our shared responsibility to reduce waste, reuse materials, and recycle. Whether we’re recycling or cleaning up litter, we can all do our part to keep Earth beautiful. https://t.co/rCeerZDvvr — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Happy #AmericaRecyclesDay! Today and every day, remember to do your part. Together we can reduce landfill input and protect our environment while creating jobs here in Delaware. Remember to 😷 when you do. This beach cleanup was pre-pandemic. https://t.co/nTtDBuwct0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, my concerns have been realized. Mr. Wolf’s short-sided efforts to limit DREAMers was not only cruel, but illegal. https://t.co/GXcT21KA4D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In August, @GAO confirmed what I’ve been sounding the alarm on all along: Chad Wolf was never appointed or confirmed and therefore even the most routine actions of the Department of Homeland Security could be in legal jeopardy. https://t.co/WhQVFt6q9B — PolitiTweet.org

We are in a pivotal point in our battle against COVID-19. Help keep your community safe by wearing a mask, social distancing and getting tested at a location near you. Learn more here: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Delaware is a state of neighbors. While @JoeBiden may be moving to the White House for a bit, he’ll always be our neighbor. And the First State will have his back every step of the way! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I look forward to working with the Biden Administration to strengthen programs like Free File that allow millions of taxpayers to file their taxes online completely free of charge. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I'm pleased that TurboTax will be addressing the issues that @senrobportman and I identified this past June and making necessary changes to help ensure that taxpayers are not needlessly paying fees to file their tax returns. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Even more history being made this week!  I’ve been an avid baseball fan since the third grade. This is not only an important step for the league, but a smart move by the @Marlins. Congratulations Kim Ng! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I stopped by the beautiful new @Nemours dupont Pediatrics location in Milford today, which is bringing first-class care downstate. Now patients no longer need to drive an hour and a half north to receive care - they can get it right here! https://t.co/lzinTXW8PY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

No surprise that @realDonaldTrump only cares about himself. But to jeopardize the health and safety of the Secret Service officers that put their lives on the line to protect him and the White House is particularly shameful. — PolitiTweet.org
