.@SeatPleasant1, MD is a small city leading big changes. I'm here today learning about the innovative technologies & partnerships they're using to connect citizens to new opportunities, improve public safety, and advance health & economic outcomes. #SmartCities are the future. https://t.co/rqrjAy1BTC — PolitiTweet.org

Mixed status families live with so much fear. Today, I heard from a U.S.-born child whose mother, a TPS holder, is afraid that any knock on the door could be the one to take her from her children. We need to make pathways to citizenship, not push people further into the shadows. — PolitiTweet.org

Behind Trump's cruel policies are real people who live, work, and raise children in our communities, and who are being unfairly targeted and separated from their families. Today, we're hearing from them. Watch live on @CASAforall's Facebook: https://t.co/U5yzW5H92z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Today, I'm with @CASAforall talking about my visit to the southern border last month. Trump's immigration policies are exacerbating conditions at the border and creating fear that reaches into our immigrant communities. We must stand up and fight for our values. #YouAreHome https://t.co/apZuV3ICZl — PolitiTweet.org

From the Trump Admin. to state legislatures, Republicans are fighting to deny women their constitutional right to make their own decisions about their body. I'm a proud cosponsor of the Women's Health Protection Act to protect women’s right to choose nationwide. #ActForWomen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The @USChamber & @ShopFloorNAM are standing in the way of real action on #ClimateChange. It's time for them to put the American people before corporate profit and support a clean energy economy. #ManufacturedFacts — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm joining @SenateDems to introduce a resolution to end the Trump Administration’s rule on junk insurance plans. These plans offer less coverage but cost families more. This is another attack on the 130 million Americans with preexisting conditions. We're fighting back. — PolitiTweet.org

What does #ERRPA do? -Bans discriminatory profiling at all levels of law enforcement. -Promotes training & development of protocols to discourage profiling. -Requires data collection and reporting to assess improvement and hold agencies accountable to change. #MoreThanAProfile — PolitiTweet.org

Ending racial & religious profiling is a critical step in reforming our criminal justice system. I'm reintroducing The End Racial and Religious Profiling Act to ban this discriminatory practice. I'm hosting a briefing on #ERRPA streaming live now: https://t.co/kpdBLY2dB7 — PolitiTweet.org

On this anniversary, we must pledge to continue to preserve these programs and fight against attempts to take away health care as a human right for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #ACA helped strengthen these programs. The Medicaid expansion extended coverage to millions of Americans who were ineligible before. Today, the ACA is under attack and so is the care of the beneficiaries who rely on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Fifty-four years ago, #Medicare and #Medicaid established a new era of health care – one that helped close gaps in health disparities and improve health outcomes for our most vulnerable citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

.@POTUS, we know this is just a distraction from the great work that @RepCummings is doing on the Oversight Committee keeping your actions in check. We will continue to do all we can to support Baltimore while defending our democracy. We can do both and we must. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm proud of my native Baltimore. I'm proud to work alongside @RepCummings, who fights so hard to support it. @POTUS, don't defame our city. It's clear you don't know anything about it. Tune in, you could learn something: https://t.co/LdNkKmSvkn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm proud to support @SenateDems' #DemocracyForAll amendment. Reversing #CitizensUnited affirms what we know to be true: The power of our democracy belongs to the people - NOT corporations, NOT big money. https://t.co/IwMqCNyREA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We have a legal and moral duty to make sure U.S. weapons aren't used to repress human rights or enact violence against innocent civilians. By voting to allow arms sales to #SaudiArabia continue, Republicans have voted against this duty and their responsibilities as lawmakers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Improving our nation's infrastructure means investing in our economy, preparing for climate change effects, and creating safer, more connected communities. America's Transportation Infrastructure Act invests in these goals. I'm proud to introduce it alongside my EPW colleagues. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Yes. #WeAreBaltimore https://t.co/J2fb02KWeQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The president has been denigrating #Baltimore since he was a candidate for president. He is attacking @RepCummings, who has devoted his lifetime to public service, as a distraction to what Congress does on oversight. https://t.co/ud1Bii9lwn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We've seen @POTUS use this language to disparage proud American cities — like Baltimore — and members of Congress before. We see the pattern very clearly. #PresidentialDistraction https://t.co/V1kZXCBivh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

.@POTUS, @ElijahCummings is an example of leadership that you could learn from.  For years he's fulfilled his duty to stand up for his constituents and fight for economic empowerment and justice for all. Meanwhile, you insult the people and cities you are supposed to serve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

For 29 years, the #ADA has empowered people with disabilities by prohibiting discrimination and ensuring equal access too educational, economic, and social opportunities. Our society is more free and inclusive today because of this landmark civil rights law. #ADA29 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

There are children in border facilities with preventable illnesses. Children without access to basic hygiene. Children who aren't being looked after by child welfare professionals. @DHSgov, @CBP: This is unacceptable. We demand answers and changes. https://t.co/thjbGNteBl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Thank you @EnesKanter for using your platform to speak up for those who cannot and for standing up against authoritarianism in Turkey. It was truly a pleasure to meet with such a passionate and knowledgeable advocate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Too many Americans are skipping out on life-saving medication because they don't know if they can afford it. This bipartisan bill takes a step toward changing that. Let's continue to work together to control costs and improve options for #Medicare and #Medicaid beneficiaries. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Gun violence is one of the leading causes of death in our nation. There's no doubt that it is a public health emergency. Federal funding for research into this epidemic makes common sense and will save lives. We must fight to make these funds a priority. #FundGVPResearch — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Our panelists today remind us what we know is true: The #ERA is a basic but important principle. It's not about a partisan agenda. It's about equality. #ERANow https://t.co/zTLAwryMz0 — PolitiTweet.org
