Our state and national parks have been centers for peaceful protest throughout our nation’s history. They allow our voices to be heard. The Great American Outdoors Act would #FundLWCF to ensure that our public lands remain places that bring people from all backgrounds together. https://t.co/VUJrb65CQd — PolitiTweet.org

The nation watched as Georgians—particularly people of color—faced unimaginable hurdles put in place to suppress the vote. But what it did not see was that 187 days ago, @senatemajldr quietly buried the Voting Rights Advancement Act, a bill to help prevent this undemocratic mess — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

A great piece by @AmbassadorRice on why the President's move to deploy the U.S. military on peaceful protestors in D.C. last week makes the issue of #DCStatehood one we can no longer ignore. My bill in the Senate has 36 cosponsors. We need 14 more. Let's get there. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

This is becoming a disturbing trend. Making it harder for people to vote is as undemocratic as it gets. We can and must do better than this. — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. represents less than 5% of the world's population, but we account for more than 25% of the world's #COVID19 related deaths with 111,000 lives lost. If we had a President who took this virus seriously from the outset, I think that number would look very different today. https://t.co/yTswbouBA9 — PolitiTweet.org

The U.S. represents less than 5% of the world's population, but we account for 25% of the world's #COVID19 related deaths with nearly 117,000 lives lost.

Proud to be an original cosponsor of @SenCoryBooker and @KamalaHarris’s Senate version of the #JusticeInPolicing Act. Together, we can seize this moment and bring about meaningful change that can save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Our #DCStatehood bill is gaining momentum! We now have two new cosponsors in the Senate and the House. Thank you @SenJackyRosen and @RepRonKind. We still need 14 more to sign on to my version in the Senate. Together, let’s right this wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Americans want change now. I’m proud to stand alongside @SenBooker and @SenKamalaHarris as an original cosponsor to the #JusticeInPolicing Act — a bill that begins to respond to nationwide calls for reform. https://t.co/RwNunPfslH — PolitiTweet.org

Today gave me hope. Proud and inspired to stand with hundreds of Delawareans who are standing up and pushing to make our country “a more perfect Union.” Together, we can seize this moment and bring about real change. #BlackLivesMatter https://t.co/q4YsL2HuhO — PolitiTweet.org

The President’s deployment of U.S. military on peaceful protestors makes #DCStatehood an issue both Democrats and Republicans can no longer ignore. My Senate bill has 35 cosponsors. We need 15 more. Pass it on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

How would Delawareans or Texans or Georgians feel if they paid taxes to a government that denied them a voice in that government? How would they feel if that same government sent the military to patrol their streets and tear-gas their neighbors? #DCStatehood is about fairness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

The House will vote on @EleanorNorton’s bill this year, but my companion bill in the Senate still needs 15 more cosponsors. Together, let’s get there. This cannot wait. #DCStatehoodNow — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thank you, @Stenyhoyer! The President deploying the U.S. military on peaceful protestors in D.C. makes this an issue that Americans – no matter where they live – can no longer ignore. My #DCStatehood bill has 35 cosponsors. We need 51 cosponsors now. https://t.co/hSdEYnhWM4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

I’ve been working on passing a #DCStatehood bill since 2013, but the President’s deployment of U.S. military on peaceful protestors makes this an issue both Democrats and Republicans can no longer ignore. My Senate bill has 35 cosponsors. We need 15 more. Let's get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Breonna Taylor should be celebrating her 27th birthday today. But, instead, we’re honoring her memory because, in March, Breonna was murdered at the hands of law enforcement in her own home. 3 months later, we can’t forget Breonna. We can’t stop demanding justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Did you know that black Americans are 10x more likely than white Americans to die by gun homicide? On this #GunViolenceAwarenessDay, we honor the lives lost and we recommit to our fight to end gun violence in all communities. It is time to act now. #WearOrange — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Donald Trump didn’t need approval to deploy the U.S. military on peaceful protestors because the District of Columbia is not a state. I’m calling on my colleagues – both Democrats and Republicans – to join my bill in the Senate to support #DCStatehood now. Pass it on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Thank you for sharing these important messages from our black community in Delaware, @ChrisCoons! Join us by sharing their voices, too. Together, we must lift each other up. #DelawareSpeaksUp — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, Chairman Johnson chose to use @HSGAC time and resources to chase conspiracy theories. That’s precisely why I did not attend today. We are a nation in crisis confronting matters of life and death. It's time for Senate Republicans to act like it https://t.co/OqC5L9kbce — PolitiTweet.org

The nation witnessed the murder of yet another black man as a police officer pushed his knee into the neck of George Flloyd for nearly 9 minutes. Americans are rising up and rightfully demanding real change. And as elected officials, we have a responsibility to act with urgency. https://t.co/wmUgZHO8gC — PolitiTweet.org
