2 years ago, 5 Capital Gazette employees were killed in a shooting targeting the Annapolis newspaper. Today we honor Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith & Wendi Winters. My condolences continue to go out to their families, surviving staff & local community — PolitiTweet.org

Five years ago, #SCOTUS delivered the decision that made marriage equality the law of the land. Today, we celebrate this milestone & #PrideMonth knowing that the fight didn't end there. There's more work to be done & we won't stop fighting for full equality for LGBTQ+ Americans — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

A historic vote! The House has passed @EleanorNorton's bill #HR51 to make DC the 51st state. We have more momentum than ever before – now the Senate must take up the vote for #DCStatehood to get this over the finishline and grant full representation to DC’s 700,000 residents. — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday the House passed the #JusticeInPolicing Act - the bill that would prohibit racial profiling, ban chokeholds & no knock warrants, end qualified immunity & hold police accountable for misconduct. This is the real reform we need. @senatemajldr must bring it to a vote now — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #PPPLoan program can't work for the small businesses in need without transparency & cooperation from @SBAgov. They must follow the recommendations from this GAO report to implement plans to address fraud risks and ensure the program's integrity. https://t.co/HbvYl3u7YG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

DC shouldn’t have to fight for the same amount of #COVID19 relief funds states receive; they shouldn't be unable to contest the deployment of the national guard within their own borders. Statehood will give these taxpaying residents the voice & equality our democracy guarantees. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The fight for #DCStatehood is a fight for human rights and equality. D.C.’s 700,000 residents deserve full representation & the autonomy that every state enjoys. Tomorrow the House votes on #HR51 to make DC the 51st state - I’ll continue to support statehood in the Senate. https://t.co/kQ6AcQkoUz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The Republican police reform bill falls short of addressing the fundamental problems of accountability and racial injustice in law enforcement. We need to take bold action to make the systemic changes the American people are demanding. https://t.co/K1y6SByG5k — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm live on the Senate Floor: The Republican police reform bill fails to effectively address the constant loss of Black lives at the hands of police. Anything less than full support for legislation that holds police accountable is inexcusable. https://t.co/6YZdbwR7RU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Slowing testing isn’t a solution to #COVID19 . It will make us less safe and it will put lives at risk. For Trump to make such a claim as experts and state officials continue to call for increased testing support nationwide is not only irresponsible but dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Voting by mail is secure and safe and especially necessary during this public health crisis. Trump’s insistence on pushing this dangerous myth threatens the participation of all citizens in our democracy – regardless of party affiliation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Since day one we’ve been fighting for the release of #PPPloan data & full transparency in the implementation of this program. I’m glad the admin. has changed course – this data will help ensure that we're able to get immediate relief to the small businesses that need it the most. — PolitiTweet.org

#Juneteenth is essential to understanding the story of America. Today is a day to celebrate the 1865 liberation of the last enslaved Black Americans. It's also a call for us to confront our nation's history of racial injustice & commit to the work to dismantle it in present day. — PolitiTweet.org

This week SCOTUS ruled to end workplace discrimination for the LGBTQIA+ community. There's more work to be done to stop discrimination in other areas of life like housing, education, health care. Congress must take up the #EqualityAct to finally guarantee full equality for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Now, Congress must keep working to permanently settle the status for both DREAMers and TPS recipients once and for all. The American Dream and Promise Act is still sitting on @senatemajldr's desk, we must take up this bill immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

This is fantastic news. #SCOTUS rules on what we already know to be true: for our nation's 800,000 DREAMers, #HomeIsHere. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I welcome today's sanctions on senior members of the Assad Regime. The Syrian people deserve justice. I urge the admin to continue this momentum by fully implementing the Syria War Crimes Accountability Act to support investigations and transitional justice mechanisms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We've fought for years to strengthen the many provisions in the #JusticeInPolicing Act, including my bills the Law Enforcement Trust and Integrity Act and the End Racial and Religious Profiling Act. We have a chance to pass real reform, we can't settle for anything less. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Maria Ressa's conviction is another troubling example of declining press freedoms and rule of law in the Philippines. Journalists must be free to work to ensure transparency, accountability, and justice for their fellow citizens. https://t.co/Gz9HUxFd5M — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm on the Senate floor now calling on my colleagues to pass the #JusticeInPolicing Act. The time to take action is now. We can't wait any longer to create meaningful systemic change in law enforcement nationwide. Watch here: https://t.co/6YZdbwR7RU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Russia's wrongful detainment and conviction of U.S. citizen and political prisoner Paul Whelan is a clear violation of human rights and rule of law. The Admin must step up and use all the diplomatic tools at its disposal to fight for his freedom. https://t.co/dqlK1TAsrw. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is the last day to sign up for a health care plan through @MarylandConnect's COVID-19 special enrollment period. Don't miss out on this chance to make changes to your plan or find one that fits your needs. Visit https://t.co/qL2466MT5u today. — PolitiTweet.org

This historic #SCOTUS decision is a great step forward in the fight for LGBTQ equality. No one should fear being fired because of who they are or whom they love - now protections against workplace discrimination for LGBTQ Americans are recognized by law in every state. — PolitiTweet.org
