We are a nation in crisis confronting matters of life and death and Congress has a responsibility to find solutions. There’s serious work to be done. That's why I won’t attend Chairman Johnson’s politically-motivated @HSGAC proceedings today that are not rooted in reality. https://t.co/V3EGnOZEq0 — PolitiTweet.org

“The words ‘Equal Justice Under Law’ are carved in the pediment of the United States Supreme Court. This is precisely what protesters are rightly demanding...We must reject and hold accountable those in office who would make a mockery of our Constitution." — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As someone who’s actually served in the military, I know that no president should deploy troops against citizens exercising their constitutional right to peacefully protest. Today, my colleagues and I made it clear: President Trump must not invoke the Insurrection Act — PolitiTweet.org

Attention Delawareans: In the coming weeks, the IRS will continue issuing #COVID19 stimulus payments in the form of debit cards. These payments are not junk mail. Please be on the lookout if you have not received your stimulus check. More info here ⬇️ https://t.co/RQRRHX1hkE — PolitiTweet.org

This senseless, violent incident underscores the urgency of getting my bill with @EleanorNorton passed that would finally make our nation’s capital a state and ensure that only @MayorBowser is in charge of directing the District of Columbia’s police force. #DCStatehood — PolitiTweet.org

I appreciate the help they gave me, and I know it’s on all of us to make sure we help keep the focus on what has brought us to this moment and that we work to lift one another up. Together, we can meet this moment. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Destruction by a few can’t distract us from the pain and purpose of so many. The protesters I encountered on 95 yesterday were peaceful and their understandable anger, frustration and exhaustion must be heard and their calls for real change must be met. https://t.co/VYTnAXMxTi — PolitiTweet.org

Beau was taken from us too soon, but we know that his legacy lives on through the wonderful work he did for Delaware and for our country. Today, I’m thinking of and praying for Beau’s family and all those who are mourning the loss of a loved one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Five years ago, our state and our nation lost a loving husband, father and son with endless promise. I met Beau when he was just 6 years old and had the privilege to watch him grow to become a selfless public servant and a champion for protecting our children. — PolitiTweet.org

In this moment when our country is so desperate for leadership, Donald Trump proves – once again – that he simply has no interest in being a leader. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Instead of offering words of comfort to a nation mourning the killing of another unarmed black man, the President of the United States is spewing violent rhetoric. Once again, he is trying to divide us. We can’t let him. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We need change. We need action. We need justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Now more than ever, we must do our part to help those in need. That’s why I’m asking everyone who can, to please consider donating blood at @delmarvablood. You can help save a life! #GiveBloodChallenge #DelmarvaBlood — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Yesterday, families in Delaware and across the nation honored those who laid down their lives so that we might know the liberties we enjoy every day. We salute those who have served so bravely and never forget the true costs of war. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

As we remember those who have given their all to keep our nation free, let us also pause to express our gratitude to the heroes among us who are working to keep our families – and our way of life – alive. Here's my @delawareonline piece ⬇ https://t.co/J8fj4JHIHv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, our nation faces a challenge unlike any we’ve faced in a hundred years. Fortunately, a new generation of heroes and heroines has stepped forward to serve. Some are health care workers, first responders, firefighters, police officers, sanitation workers and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today, I reflect on the brave Americans who served, like my Uncle Bob who died in 1944 at the age of 19 during a kamikaze attack in the western Pacific on his aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Suwanee. https://t.co/oPRXj9q7XH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

On this #MemorialDay2020, we remember with reverence and gratitude, those who laid down their lives in service to all of us who are living in the most enduring democracy in the history of the world – America. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Today’s front page is heartbreaking. It’s a stark reminder that, behind these numbers, are real people who each leave behind family and friends. We’ve lost too many moms, dads, brothers, sisters and grandparents in this fight, and we must never forget a single one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

We know that PFAS contamination in drinking water sources is a threat to public health. We know that more than 50 million Americans live within three miles of a Superfund site. We need more information about the PFAS contamination identified by @EPA at these 180 Superfund sites. — PolitiTweet.org

Low income communities and communities of color experience disproportionate levels of air pollution, and emerging evidence shows that high levels of air pollution worsen #COVID19 symptoms. It's critical @EPA ensures air monitoring networks remain operational during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Our nation mourns the loss of an extraordinary woman, but Annie Glenn leaves behind inspiring work that I know will continue to change lives. John Glenn was made of ‘the right stuff.’ So was his wife Annie. And they were made for each other. Now, they are together again. https://t.co/Zx0jYHgbBG — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I’m celebrating these important historic marks with you (from the other side of the Capitol)! For years, @EleanorNorton has been a tireless advocate for #DCStatehood, and I couldn't be prouder to be her partner in this fight here in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Tom Carper @SenatorCarper

Actually, the House did its job and passed a relief package to help families, small businesses, hospitals, and front line workers. Instead of focusing on judicial nominees, it’s time for the Senate to work in a bipartisan way to get work done that helps the American people. — PolitiTweet.org
