The Clean Economy Act would move our country to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions while also empowering American workers and uplifting our most vulnerable communities. Read more from @amcgimsey of @EnvAm here➡️ https://t.co/WUshMR5I5c — PolitiTweet.org

It’s critical Americans get relief quickly, but improper payments to deceased people represent serious waste and a burden to those who receive them. My bill with @SenJohnKennedy would put an end to this and save millions of dollars — let's get it passed. https://t.co/7JtPhFOmTW — PolitiTweet.org

Police reforms that enjoy bipartisan across the nation: - Banning racial profiling - Fully banning the use of chokeholds - Investigations into police misconduct - Requiring body cameras The @SenateGOP bill includes NONE of these reforms we know can save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I voted against @SenateGOP's policing "reform" bill because it's modest at best when we need to be bold. It doesn't include reforms we know Americans across the country support. But I'm proud to support @CoryBooker and @KamalaHarris's bill that does. It's time for real change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

To date, we’ve lost 123,000 Americans. Yesterday, we saw the 3rd highest daily total of #COVID19 cases. We're not even out of the first wave, and experts tell us to expect a second. Every American should be livid that their health isn’t what’s being prioritized in a pandemic — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The @SenateGOP bill is modest at best at a time when we need to be bold. We know that these longstanding injustices will not be eliminated by any one bill, but let’s be clear: this moment demands far more of the U.S. Senate than what @senatemajldr brought before us today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

.@SenatorBooker and @KamalaHarris's Justice in Policing Act includes all of these proposals. But @senatemajldr has chosen to bring forth legislation that offers half-measures, studies and commissions while Black men and women cry out that they cannot breathe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

An astounding 92 percent of Americans want federal police officers to wear body cameras. The @SenateGOP bill doesn’t require body cameras for law enforcement either. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

91 percent of Americans support allowing independent investigations of police departments that show patterns of misconduct. The @SenateGOP bill doesn’t strengthen independent investigations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

82 percent of Americans support banning the use of chokeholds. The @SenateGOP bill doesn’t fully ban the use of chokeholds. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

According to a recent @Reuters poll, 83 percent of Americans – Democrats, Independents, and Republicans – want to ban racial profiling. The @SenateGOP bill doesn’t ban racial profiling. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We cannot simply pass a policing “reform” bill that asks a commission to study what we already know is a reality for Black Americans or pass a bill just so folks can point to it in an election year. Americans want real change — and the @SenateGOP bill does not meet the moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

More than half of the U.S. taxpayers living in Washington, DC are people of color — and they are still denied full representation in Congress. As we work toward real solutions to address systemic racism and injustices, #DCStatehood must be a part of the conversation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The Senate GOP bill creates commissions to study what we already know is a reality for Black Americans. It fails to meet the moment. I am proud to support @CoryBooker and @KamalaHarris’s Justice In Policing Act that will create real change the country needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Expanding our testing capabilities is key to our efforts to trace #COVID19 and save lives. Now, for the health and safety of the American people, we need the President of the United States to recognize this, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

On top of the fact that the President asked for #COVID19 testing to be slowed down, the Trump administration has reportedly been sitting on $14 billion that Congress allocated to help expand #COVID19 testing and contact tracing in our communities. https://t.co/xEZW95yZnk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Here we have the President doubling down on the fact that he slowed down testing on a virus that continues to claim too many lives. It’s dangerous, and it’s callous, especially to the 121,000 American families who have a lost a loved one during this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org
