Today we passed spending bills to avert another shutdown and invest in health, gun safety, #2020Census & more There’s much more to accomplish - especially on energy efficiency & tax. But I’m proud to have helped secure these priorities for Marylanders: https://t.co/zVuSIBU4T5 — PolitiTweet.org

Read more about the FY20 wins for the Chesapeake Bay Program. @POTUS consistently threatens to cut funds for this program. With $85 million secured, we can continue to invest in the preservation of our environment, clean water & jobs in the Bay watershed https://t.co/sODeAcCLmr — PolitiTweet.org

The #SECUREAct includes my priorities to: -Expand access to retirement plans for part-time workers -Improve benefits for volunteer firefighters & EMS workers -Delay the age for required minimum distributions -Protect benefits for older workers in closed defined benefit plans — PolitiTweet.org

48% of Americans over 55 have no retirement saved. Everyone deserves a dignified retirement after a lifetime of work. Today, we have a chance to pass the #SECUREAct in the FY20 spending bill and ensure all hard-working citizens can plan for their futures https://t.co/zE4oakJkY3 — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans want to destroy our health care system rather than fix it. Today they are closer to achieving their mission. With this court decision, affordable, quality health coverage and protections for millions of Americans with preexisting conditions remain at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Everyone deserves a dignified retirement after a lifetime of work, yet 48% of Americans 55+ have zero retirement saved We must pass the SECURE Act, as well as my bipartisan bill, The Retirement Security & Savings Act, to expand opportunities for citizens to plan for their future https://t.co/xETdY8FLeB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

It was great running into my colleagues & volunteers from Brooke’s House, of Hagerstown, Md, who do incredible work to support women recovering from substance abuse disorders. Team Maryland will keep fighting for treatment & prevention resources for all of our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

The #NDAA invests in the people – military & civilian – who make our country strong. Proud to help secure big wins including funds to improve housing & childcare for families on base, repeal the Widows Tax and extend paid parental leave for federal workers https://t.co/bnx2ejWHKa — PolitiTweet.org

The Senate is the jury. It’s reasonable to expect that we should hear directly from witnesses who have the information about President Trump’s actions and motives. It’s important to have the evidence at hand in order to have a fair trial. https://t.co/lllhnnnVML — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Women’s Business Centers connect women entrepreneurs w/ resources to grow their businesses & create jobs. Proud to join @SBAgov, @NWBC & local leaders to discuss bringing a second center to MD to reach even more women, especially those in underserved communities across the state https://t.co/bCK7iZuYHM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

With Baltimore's congressional delegation and City and County leaders to celebrate more than $4 million in federal investments to improve public safety. Efforts to reduce gun crime, violence against women, and opioid reduction all receive a new infusion of momentum today. https://t.co/sFJIOBMFWy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We live in a country where classrom lockdown drills are standard and firearms are the second leading cause of death for children and teens. This is unacceptable. Addressing gun safety is common sense. We have to act to end these tragedies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

7 years have passed since 26 people, including 20 young children, were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary. Senseless gun violence cut their young lives short and continues to devastate communities around the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I visited the future leaders of @YearUpBaltimore, a program that connects youth w/ mentors, internships and workforce training & development. The key to our future is ensuring all students can access the resources & opportunities they need to reach their career goals https://t.co/sDnRiiE29C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm heartbroken by the loss of 4 lives during the shooting at the JC Kosher Supermarket in Jersey City. This targeted attack on a Jewish space mirrors the rise in anti-Semitic violence around the country and world. We must stand in solidarity against this sort of hatred. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

This week, the House has passed legislation that puts the needs of Americans first – paid family leave for federal workers, benefits for military families, & today, lowering prescription drug costs. The Senate must now do its job and get these priorities over the finish line. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Two years ago, we had an opportunity to take on much-needed reform to our tax code, instead, Republicans went on a partisan mission to help big corporations and the wealthy at the expense of middle-class taxpayers and fiscal responsibility. #GOPTaxScam https://t.co/rmen2Otwmm — PolitiTweet.org

I urge the president to stop his war on our federal workforce, the vast majority of which are career civil servants dedicated to serving the American people nationwide and around the world. They deserve our respect and appreciation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

.POTUS finally realized a bipartisan majority in Congress will not allow him to erase a vital federal agency from existence. @USOPM serves as the human resources hub for millions of public servants. Dissolving the agency would have been harmful nationwide. https://t.co/WfHluuLDYd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Grateful to see @TIME honoring the public servants who took oaths to defend the Constitution and faithfully kept that pledge even when their jobs, their privacy and their safety was at risk. The #GuardiansOfTheYear showed us that truth and democracy are always worth fighting for. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Now that the #FUTUREAct is across the finish line, we must continue to work together on a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act to provide more support for students and expand college access for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Proud that the #FUTUREAct finally passed Congress! This deal secures permanent funding for #HBCUs, simplifies FAFSA & reduces burdens on students working to repay loans. This is a win for Maryland’s 4 HBCUs & the students working toward their dreams. https://t.co/qE0p6ayHHz — PolitiTweet.org

It's not too late to sign up for a 2020 health care plan! There are 4 days left until open enrollment ends. Every one deserves high quality affordable care - now is the time to find the plan for you. Marylanders, visit https://t.co/2MZaVIY7Nd to #GetCovered by Dec 15! — PolitiTweet.org

Pleased that the courts in Honduras finally sentenced those involved in the murder of indigenous environmental activist Berta Caceres. More must be done in Honduras & elsewhere to protect those who defend the environment & human rights #JusticeForBerta https://t.co/MLh412IhGj — PolitiTweet.org
