Leaders like those at the Delaware Center for Inland Bays are showing us how we can – and why we must – make our coastal communities more resilient to the worsening climate crisis. Read more on my visit: https://t.co/Sv3T1pWnNV — PolitiTweet.org

Today I toured the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays’ recently completed natural barrier project in Dewey Beach. This project will protect nearby residents and businesses from the high tides and storm surges we continue to see along our coasts as the #ClimateCrisis worsens. https://t.co/2vhRMKTliy — PolitiTweet.org

For generations, Movies at Midway provided Delaware families with priceless memories. Today, it's our turn to provide the support this industry needs with the #SaveOurStages Act so it can come out on the other side of this pandemic stronger than ever. — PolitiTweet.org

Across the country, family-owned entertainment venues have been forced to adapt to a new normal. Movies at Midway is one such place. From a special ticket booth for 17-year ticket taker, Elsie, to investing in air filtration, Midway is doing all it can to keep its doors open. https://t.co/LGNimXdiwl — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Barrett may be confirmed, but let history show that I have tried hard, both to follow the Golden Rule and the example of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and that I refused to join the majority opinion. You can read my full dissent here: https://t.co/Uf3RLPkpw5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew that just because you don’t have the votes doesn’t mean you’re any less right. Today, we may not have had the votes to stop this process or vote down this nominee, but that doesn’t make our efforts to fight for fairness any less right. https://t.co/MjYa5Rc2RJ — PolitiTweet.org

Today, a woman’s right to make her own most personal and intimate health care decisions hangs in the balance. Despite the fact that a majority of Americans support #RoevWade, Judge Barrett may very well overturn nearly fifty years of precedent. That's #WhatsAtStake. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Golden Rule teaches us to treat others the way we want to be treated. Our ability to reach consensus on critical issues is at its best when we follow it. The Golden Rule called for a vote on Judge Garland. Today, it calls for hitting pause on Judge Barrett's nomination. https://t.co/j29bHpgUPW — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump was asked directly if he wants to see the Supreme Court wipe out the Affordable Care Act. He didn’t mince words. He said plainly, “I hope they end it.” Now he's within one vote on that Court of achieving his goal. One vote. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/kZUjXciokj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This entire Supreme Court confirmation process has become an exercise in raw political power – not the type of deliberative, non-partisan process our Founders envisioned. Let's be clear: there is no precedent for confirming Judge Barrett just 8 days before an election. https://t.co/ASt7GYToJ0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Just in case anyone still had doubts, @realDonaldTrump did not learn his lesson after he was impeached and is still very much a threat to our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Even as Republicans try to dismantle our health care law during a pandemic, the #ACA is working. Take it from @westsidehealth's Dr. Megan Werner: "Our cancer screening rates, early entry into prenatal care, and childhood immunization rates continue to increase year after year. https://t.co/D63r4GRowc — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans are rushing through their SCOTUS nominee in the midst of an election, a pandemic, and record unemployment. If only they had the same motivation to provide much-needed COVID relief to the millions of Americans facing unimaginable financial strain. — PolitiTweet.org

If you and your family need a flu shot, come by @westsidehealth’s Fourth Street Clinic in Wilmington today! They are giving out free flu shots — and fresh produce and cleaning supplies — until 1 pm. It’s quick and easy, so don’t wait to get your #FluShot! https://t.co/YDCCK329IY — PolitiTweet.org

All children deserve access to clean drinking water. Yet only 26% of Head Start centers have tested their drinking water for lead contamination.   I joined @SenDuckworth and @PattyMurray in urging @EPA to do better for our kids. — PolitiTweet.org

.@realDonaldTrump couldn’t be more clear. He’s always wanted to rip health care away. He STILL wants to rip health care away in the middle of a pandemic that’s taken over 220,000 American lives. — PolitiTweet.org

.@USPS is an invaluable American institution and we must continue to conduct rigorous oversight to ensure that it serves the needs of all Americans – from those living in our largest cities to residents of our smallest towns.   Read my full statement here: https://t.co/Vq0V6ePxtb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The bottom line is that @USPS is supposed to serve the American people.   And, in the midst of a deadly pandemic, when so many people were so much more dependent on the Postal Service than they had ever been before, USPS failed to do just that. https://t.co/iskO7Zsute — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Not only did Postmaster DeJoy's changes cause mail delays for seniors, small businesses and families, but they were also being made right before an election in which an unprecedented number of Americans would be voting by mail.   That is unacceptable. https://t.co/2pZUQLGenY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

In August, my colleagues and I asked the USPS Inspector General for much-needed answers regarding abrupt and shortsighted @USPS policy changes that resulted in detrimental delays for millions of families who rely on the mail. Well, we finally heard back. https://t.co/xtNSHrBmUI — PolitiTweet.org
