.@POTUS has been on a dangerous mission to take away access to health care from Americans who need it the most. To rule to allow providers to discriminate against LGBTQ patients, especially during #PrideMonth AND in the middle of a pandemic, is disgraceful. We must fight this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

How can we know which businesses still need help if we don’t have the data showing where the funds have gone so far? The Trump admin is standing between the most vulnerable small businesses and the funds they need to survive. https://t.co/MCLey87VJx — PolitiTweet.org

4 yrs ago, 49 people were killed at Pulse nightclub in Orlando — a horrific attack on the LGBTQ community & one of our nation's deadliest mass shootings. It's our duty to #HonorThemWithAction by standing up for LGBTQ equality and against hate, homophobia & senseless gun violence. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Too many lives have been taken by police brutality. The #JusticeinPolicing Act takes action to prohibit the use of excessive force, demilitarize the police, and establish independent investigations to hold officers accountable for misconduct. https://t.co/j671XSITfO — PolitiTweet.org

We must work to address the inequities unmasked by #COVID19. Joining this live press conference with AG @BrianFrosh for the launch of the #COVID19 Access to Justice Task Force. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm live on the Senate floor discussing the #JusticeInPolicing Act and the urgent need to finally pass legislation to root out racial injustice embedded in our law enforcement. Watch here: https://t.co/6YZdbwR7RU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I introduced a bill w/ @ChrisCoons and @SenatorShaheen that directs new funds under the Paycheck Protection Program to small businesses with fewer than 100 employees, including sole proprietorships and self-employed individuals. https://t.co/K3s7uorJVX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Our economy is in a recession. Even as states begin to reopen, our most vulnerable small businesses will continue to struggle in the weeks & months ahead. We must get targeted support to those most at risk to help our economy recover as quickly as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The deadline to sign up for a health care plan through @MarylandConnect's emergency #COVID19 special enrollment period is next Monday, June 15th. Visit https://t.co/6cgxxksCsz now to learn more and #GetCovered. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Incremental reform is not enough. We must do better to end systemic racism in law enforcement and protect the civil rights, human rights and the lives of men, women and children in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Accountability is critical to rebuilding trust between law enforcement & the communities they serve. It shouldn't be tied to public videos & outcry, rather than doing the right thing. With a focus on data collection, oversight & training, this package takes steps to fulfill this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Proud to sponsor the #JusticeInPolicing Act which also includes my bills The End Racial and Religious Profiling Act and the Law Enforcement Trust and Accountability Act. Congress must finally act to pass comprehensive criminal justice reform legislation https://t.co/rJnFhkT3o7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

HAPPENING SOON: At 2 pm I'll be on Facebook and YouTube live with Marc Morial, President & CEO of @NUL League and Hilary Shelton, Director of the @NAACP Washington Bureau to discussion on Ending Systemic Racism in Law Enforcement. https://t.co/HbQvk0J10e https://t.co/VjEfq8XuqE https://t.co/fchenyZUIm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Gun violence reflects long-standing racial inequities in America as black Americans are 10x more likely to die by guns than white Americans. Working toward justice means taking action on all fronts to ensure that our communities are safer for all. We must act to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

On #GunViolenceAwarenessDay we must honor victims and survivors by committing to action to make our nation safer. We can’t wait any longer to pass common-sense gun safety legislation. https://t.co/gIuvicOi7c — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

It's time for AG Barr to resign. For over a year, he's taken every chance to prove that he's serving as @POTUS' personal attorney rather than the people’s lawyer. Ordering the forced clearing of peaceful protesters for Trump's photo opp was a new low. https://t.co/3HmWAbdrPm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We must act now to hold police accountable for misconduct & excessive force, improve police-community relations, end systemic racism in policing. I introduced 2 bills that can take those steps- The End Racial & Religious Profiling Act and The Law Enforcement Integrity & Trust Act https://t.co/6W8NP6rWid — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

This morning my colleagues & I observed a moment of silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds for George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbury. We must honor their lives with action and fight now for justice and reform. https://t.co/ysV3ZvEFZV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I’m glad to see charges brought against all of the officers responsible for George Floyd’s murder. Justice demands that they be held accountable and it demands that we continue to take action to end the senseless targeting of Black Americans by law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Let’s talk about finally enacting a prohibition on racial profiling by all levels of law enforcement and reforming police training as better options (legally and morally) than allowing the military to be turned on our own citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Using a house of worship as a backdrop to threaten using the military on American soil against our own citizens. Too many things wrong with this picture. https://t.co/eFBB0ChAuh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Congress must act to pass a comprehensive plan to reform police-community relations, improve training/hiring of police officers, and hold police accountable for misconduct and use of excessive force. It won’t be easy, but we must rebuild trust btwn police &communities they serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

.@POTUS once again has failed to lead. He continuously fans the flames of racism and seeks to divide Americans for political purposes. He seems blind to the reason people are protesting in the first place: to end the repeated and tragic targeting of blacks by law enforcement. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Spraying tear gas at peaceful protesters to clear a path for a photo op is antithetical to American values and basic human rights. It violates civil and human rights under any circumstances. — PolitiTweet.org
