Access to contraceptives and reproductive care improves the health of our communities and empowers women worldwide. On #WorldContraceptionDay, we pledge to fight against @POTUS’ war on #TitleX, and the #GlobalGagRule, which puts access to essential care out of reach for millions — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We can’t go back to the days when insurers could deny coverage to people with preexisting conditions. Under @POTUS' "junk plans", protections for 130 million Americans are at risk. I’m joining my colleagues on a resolution to end this sabotage and #ProtectPreExistingConditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Congress enacted the Bipartisan Budget Agreement in August. Appropriators must come together and bring forth a bill to the full Senate a soon as possible so we can avoid another unnecessary shutdown. https://t.co/C9pIZ1JLWC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

It's refreshing to reach the end of the fiscal year without the threat of a damaging government shutdown. However, a continuing resolution is no substitute for regular appropriations bills. https://t.co/GbhRVigOq1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm proud that the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act passed @SenateForeign yesterday. For months, protestors have faced brutal pushback for defending Hong Kong’s autonomy. This bill sends a strong message that the U.S. stands in solidarity with them https://t.co/C7yUkHCSxX — PolitiTweet.org

Eugene Scalia has spent his career undermining labor rights & putting corporate interests over retirement security, wages & safety protections for American workers. The Secretary of Labor should be committed to fighting for employees, not against them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Every lawmaker must set politics aside and understand that the integrity of our nation and the rule of law is at stake. No one, not even the President of the United States, is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

For the sake of our nation, the House followed the only Constitutional course available by formalizing an impeachment inquiry. Without prejudging the outcome, I agree that Americans need a full understanding of whether @POTUS violated the Constitution https://t.co/nvSfr3wykI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm joining my colleagues to vote to reverse @POTUS national emergency declaration. His wasteful wall is costing troops & their families the facilities & services they need to serve our country & live comfortably. Congress must come together to put an end to his abuse of power. — PolitiTweet.org

Today is #NationalVoterRegistrationDay! Your vote is your voice. The first step to making sure it is heard in our elections nationwide is registering to vote. Check your registration status today, then tell your friends and family to do it too. https://t.co/fGuqHokE0Y — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Plotkin this weekend. A fixture of political reporting in DC, his passion & acumen on the issues gained him the respect of his colleagues, community & the officials he interviewed over the years. My thoughts are with his family & loved ones — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Asking Ukraine to dig up dirt on an opponent & using foreign aid as leverage is an abuse of power & threat to national security. Trump says his conversation with Ukrainian officials was “appropriate” -that's not enough. Congress needs the transcript to evaluate these allegations — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Today I am @NIST with @ChrisVanHollen to tour and celebrate the opening of a new, state-of-the-art Radiation Physics Building that will enable new medical and technological advancements and allow more accurate testing. Highly impressive - and highly important for our nation. https://t.co/GNv9aNHWsA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I’m working to provide more funds for STEM programs and low-income students, and to include my Strengthening American Communities Act in the Higher Education Act reauthorization to give public servants - including educators - a debt-free pathway for an undergraduate education. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

At the State level, the Kirwan Commission is making transformative recommendations toward ensuring all students have access to a high-quality education. We must match their work at the federal level & work together to guarantee equal opportunities for every Maryland student. — PolitiTweet.org

For months, Haitians have made their voices heard through protests. Now, the political stalemate must be resolved to prevent further delays in upcoming parliamentary elections. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Great meeting with Haiti’s Foreign Minister @BocchitEdmond yesterday to discuss TPS, politics in Haiti, regional security, and Caribbean trade initiatives. Engaging with our neighbors in the Caribbean is key to achieving our shared priorities. https://t.co/Ddh7YWIWZc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Meaningful climate action means reducing emissions, investing in renewable energy, and putting the health of our communities and environment before profits. The Administration is working against these priorities. Today's #ClimateStrike shows that we won't stand for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Young people across the nation and around the world are demanding climate action and we must listen to them. I stand with the #ClimateStrike today and pledge to continue to fight the Administration's attacks on clean air, clean water, and our environment. — PolitiTweet.org

I’m a proud cosponsor of the SAFE Kids Act to ban E-cigarette flavorings that blatantly target kids & teens. It took hard work over years to counter dangerous tobacco marketing & reduce youth smoking. We can’t let E-cigarette companies get kids hooked. https://t.co/YZHqVv4puW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The mission of the @EPA is “to protect human health and the environment." Rolling back states’ rights to set reasonable auto emission standards counters this mission. People and public health must come before profits. https://t.co/nLsGpPLPOP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Our constitution guarantees a right to representation for all of our citizens, to deny that for the 700k tax-paying residents of D.C. is an injustice. Voting rights are human rights, we must set the example here at home. I'm proud to support the fight for #DCStatehood — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The American people want action, not an endless cycle of violence and thoughts and prayers. The Senate can start by expanding universal background checks. @SenateDems are calling on @senatemajldr to do the right thing and let us vote to #EndGunVIolence. https://t.co/kV5nyMpjQ0 — PolitiTweet.org
