Voter suppression is always unacceptable. We need to pass the #ForThePeopleAct to protect the fundamental right to vote that currently is under attack across the nation. Yesterday, I spoke on the floor of the Senate to share my thoughts in more detail. https://t.co/IdRc41Ph8L — PolitiTweet.org

Let's make 2021 when we get the Equal Rights Amendment (#ERA) into the Constitution! It's the right thing to do. S. J. Res 1 will remove the deadline included in the ERA resolution -- it was never in the actual amendment. Congress changed the deadline once and can again. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

This is the year we WILL get the #ERA in the Constitution. There is strong bipartisan support -- most Americans think it is already in the Constitution. 38 states have ratified the ERA. There is no deadline on equality. There is no deadline in the amendment itself. @ERACoalition — PolitiTweet.org

Go to https://t.co/9Hh5sA2rDC for more info on new monthly payments for families w/young children. This is life-changing for families who needed a little more each month to make sure the bills are paid and there is food on the table daily. #ChildTaxCredit https://t.co/sCU8zdRgfO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #AmericanRescuePlan continues to bring relief to MDers still struggling from #COVID19. Starting 7/15, monthly payments for families w/young children will advance the expanded #ChildTaxCredit. Up to $3600 total per child will lift 1000s of MD families out of poverty. — PolitiTweet.org

This #WorldRefugeeDay, I am recommitting myself to facilitating safe harbor to the vulnerable, no matter where they are from. The U.S. must live by our values and help build a brighter future for all the world’s peoples. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Every 2 seconds, someone is forced to leave their home because of conflict or persecution. This is the reality for nearly 82 million people around the world. The U.S. must live by our values and help build a brighter future for all the world’s peoples. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Celebrating a new federal holiday is not a replacement for the important, redemptive work necessary yearlong to move us closer to a more just and perfect union. We must address what is happening in America today, not only the events of 1865. #JuneteenthFederalHoliday — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

As a nation, we recognize #Juneteenth, the day in 1865 that news of emancipation reached the enslaved peoples in Galveston, TX. It is an opportunity to reflect upon and educate ourselves further about the terrible history of slavery and its enduring legacy that lives on today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Congress finally must strengthen the #ACA by permanently expanding financial assistance for those purchasing insurance on the marketplaces. Congress should also reconsider a public option, which would provide greater choice and spur more competition. https://t.co/aNAPmqjb99 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The #ACA is here to stay. SCOTUS dismissed yet another Republican challenge. As a result, 31 million Americans will be able to keep affordable, high quality health coverage with strong consumer protections. https://t.co/tRn9nqxzbb — PolitiTweet.org

We must address the pandemic of gun violence in this country. Too many have set out for school, work, a movie or night out, never to return home to friends and family. This is a public health crisis we cannot afford to ignore any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

On this day, in the middle of #PrideMonth, we remember those lost in the tragic shooting @PulseOrlando. Pulse was not just a place to socialize, it was a refuge and a place of acceptance and solidarity where members of the Orlando LGBT community could be themselves. #LoveisLove — PolitiTweet.org

.@POTUS’ #AmericanJobsPlan is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reshape our nation’s economy. We must improve #SBIC to ensure that high-growth #SmallBiz in underserved communities have access to venture capital to grow and create jobs. https://t.co/COQGIKKx8c — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must act to protect voting rights in America. Join me tomorrow (Thursday 2:30pm) for an important conversation on what's at stake and how we get this done. I'll be live with @LWV CEO Virginia Kase Solomon and @DFADCoalition Director Jana Morgan. https://t.co/BtbSgWVvwN https://t.co/onpZwRovmT — PolitiTweet.org

I thank @SBAgov for this critical, timely investment that will increase MD's capacity to service the region’s veterans and transitioning servicemembers. Support for our service men & women must stay strong when they are uniform and when they transition to civilian life. #smallbiz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Empowering more of our #veterans with the tools they need to become successful #SmallBiz owners will provide a boost to the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem across Maryland. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

I'm excited to share that @SBAgov has awarded @UofMaryland a 5-year $2M grant to operate a Veterans Business Outreach Center serving veteran entrepreneurs & #SmallBiz owners in MD, DC, VA, PA & DE. https://t.co/UjXSHZ6J9F — PolitiTweet.org

Congress must pass the SECURE Act, which I co-sponsored with Senators Van Hollen and Schumer, to create a path to citizenship for #TPS recipients. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

#TPS is supposed to show that the U.S. is the Land of Compassion to those in humanitarian distress. Today’s SCOTUS decision instead makes ours the Land of the Broken Promise. #SECUREAct #DreamAndPromiseAct — PolitiTweet.org
