A house of worship should be a sanctuary for the faithful— free from hate and terror. On this Easter Day, my prayers are with all those in #SriLanka and all those touched by this tragedy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We must continue the discussion, but - more important — continue to take actions that will move our city forward and expand positive opportunities for our citizens. — PolitiTweet.org

Four years later, Baltimore still mourns the death of Freddie Gray. His death sparked a personal awakening for Baltimore and added to a natl conversation on race, policing, poverty in cities across America, access to quality education, and the scarcity of safe/affordable housing. — PolitiTweet.org

The American public deserves to read the #MuellerReport for themselves and hear directly from Special Counsel Mueller in testimony before Congress. Let me know your thoughts. How should Congress follow up on the #MuellerReport ? https://t.co/q0M2mM87AA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #MuellerReport is a fresh starting point and far from ‘game over.’ We must work to prevent future attacks on our country and stem abuses of power. Mueller has given us a roadmap for continuing investigations. The report makes it clear that the ball is back in Congress’ hands. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Attorney General Barr’s need to insert his own spin regarding the president and the investigation were gratuitous and unnecessary. He has lost credibility as the people’s attorney. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

In addition to voluminous details of attempts to obstruct justice, here is what the #MuellerReport says: “… if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state.” (Vol II, Page 2) — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Anyone who responds to the #MuellerReport saying that there were no attempts to obstruct justice has not read this report. — PolitiTweet.org

“The Trump campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.” (Vol I, p.5) — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Still reading through the #MuellerReport but what I have read should worry all Americans. “The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systemic fashion.” (Vol. I, p.1) https://t.co/q0M2mM87AA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Reading through the #MuellerReport now. His words are speaking volumes but we also need to hear from him directly. Robert Mueller should testify before the House and Senate soon. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Congress -- House and Senate -- have oversight responsibilities that must be taken seriously. We have an obligation to protect our country from Russia and others who would want to do us harm, including trying to twist our system for their own purposes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #MuellerReport is now public. I'm reading it. More importantly, the American people should read the report for themselves and draw their own conclusions. https://t.co/q0M2mM87AA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

After nearly two years of investigations into how our country was attacked by Russians, the American public deserves to hear from Robert Mueller. We don't need more spin from AG Barr. #MuellerReport — PolitiTweet.org

This is why we fought to elevate the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities -- to focus research on best ways to improve minority health. @NIMHD — PolitiTweet.org

Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders are 30% more likely to be diagnosed with cancer than non-Hispanic Whites. Asian Americans accounted for 30% of chronic Hepatitis B cases, whereas non-Hispanic Whites only accounted for 13.5 percent of cases. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

African-American men are 60% more likely to die from a stroke than non-Hispanic White men. Hispanics have higher rates of end-stage renal disease caused by diabetes, and are 30 percent more likely to die of diabetes, than non-Hispanic Whites. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

It is simply unjust that different racial groups face starkly different health outcomes. African-American women were as likely to have been diagnosed w/breast cancer as non-Hispanic white women, but African-American women were almost 41% more likely to die (2011-15 stats). — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

April is #MinorityHealthMonth. Proud to lead w/ @SenatorTimScott a bipartisan group recognizing the need to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities. Addressing inequities in health care access and outcomes must be one of our highest priorities. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The tax legislation passed by Republicans was a highly partisan product designed to permanently cut taxes for corporations at the expense of the rest of America. It was designed to fulfill a campaign promise, not to help our economy. #TaxDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

On #TaxDay it becomes clearer why we need real tax reform to counter the #GOPTaxScam . Many Marylanders are among those with sticker shock this year as refunds are smaller or replaced with a tax bill due. Democrats want to return money back to working families. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The Violence Against Women Act has a proud and bipartisan history. VAWA enhanced investigations and prosecutions of sex offenses, and created a number of new grant programs that included law enforcement, public and private entities, services providers, and victims of crime. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

These victims need to know that they have our support, including access to justice, help with housing, medical care, and economic opportunity #VAWA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

It’s time for @SenateMajLdr McConnell to bring the House-passed Violence Against Women Act up for a vote without delay. Saving women’s lives should not be a partisan issue. The statistics of domestic violence are alarming, yet domestic violence crimes remain under-reported ... — PolitiTweet.org

I could not support a nominee that puts corporate interests above the public interest. #Bernhardt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Unfortunately, it is clear that Secretary Bernhardt will continue down the dangerous path set out by his predecessor to needlessly open up the Atlantic and other sensitive habitats to such activity in furtherance of President Trump’s so-called ‘energy dominance’ order. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I opposed David Bernhardt’s nomination because I oppose all drilling off the Atlantic Coast, which contains some of the most pristine coastlines in America. Our region is very much aware of how fragile the #ChesapeakeBay is and what would be in jeopardy from an oil spill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Joined Maryland's congressional delegation and Ex Officio Mayor of Baltimore Jack Young today to discuss the city’s federal priorities. #TeamMaryland is continuing to work in close partnership to ensure that Baltimore receives the federal resources it needs and deserves. https://t.co/qpjf5A3PEd — PolitiTweet.org
