Just sickening that President Trump is threatening civil servants, like the whistleblower, who are using legal channels to expose abuses of power. The one who is betraying our democracy and country is Trump. https://t.co/E08LGsNHCO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Appropriations wins might not be the newsiest content today, but I wanted to highlight that we secured $6M to pay Senate interns, up $1M from FY19. And my amendment to ensure that @EximBankUS doesn’t make a down payment on a Saudi nuclear bomb will be in the manager's package. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We should help people turn their life around after they’ve served their time in prison. Yet our tax code singles out people with drug convictions and makes it harder for them to afford college. @senrobportman and I want to fix this with the ED ACCESS Act. https://t.co/nimkfkjav3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If Senate Republicans aren’t seriously alarmed by this whistleblower report, then something is deeply wrong. This is about the future of our democracy and anyone who asks a foreign power to attack our free and fair elections should be immediately investigated and condemned. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A lot going on today, but I wanted to flag this. Mr. Scalia, Trump’s choice for DOL, has spent much of his career as a highly-paid lawyer for big corporations working to weaken the rights of workers and people with disabilities. Also hostile to whistleblowers. I will vote NO. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We’ve wondered for a long time why the Trump Administration hadn’t delivered the assistance to Ukraine that Congress passed on a bipartisan basis. It’s clear that Trump was using it as leverage to get them to dig up dirt on his political opponent and interfere in our elections. https://t.co/SJvthLVEqc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Is Trump ready to tell McConnell to stop contracting out his constitutional responsibilities and bring up the gun safety measures the House passed over six months ago? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Since I arrived in the Senate, I’ve been fighting to protect our elections from foreign interference. With Trump’s latest scandal, it’s even more urgent that we act. That’s why I asked the Senate to include my provision—based on the #DETERAct—in the defense bill. It just passed. https://t.co/o7mxh4Hi9b — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After I offer my resolution on election security, @SenTomCotton will ask that our Defending America's 5G Future Act be included in the defense bill as well. It will prohibit Trump from bartering our national security for trade concessions from China. Let’s pass it. https://t.co/yR8Y0o3DnA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is an abuse of power. It shows Trump using the Office of the President to pressure a foreign leader to interfere in our elections and investigate a political opponent—offering the AG as a partner in the project. The impeachment inquiry is essential to protect our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s time for the House of Representatives to open an official impeachment inquiry against President Trump. I have thought about this deeply and regret that our country has to endure this process, but it's the only way for Congress to protect the rule of law. https://t.co/eSuTr6NdU4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

From attacking collective bargaining rights to silencing anyone who contradicts him, Trump has no respect for federal workers. Despite his attacks, we’ve refused to stay silent and have stopped many of his attacks. In the words of Dolores Huerta, “Si se puede!” Yes we can. https://t.co/EkSCaN2yVL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This week, the Senate will vote on a measure to stop Trump from stealing funds from military projects—including $66.3 million from three projects in Maryland—for his border wall. Will Republicans stand with us and stop him from robbing our service members? https://t.co/cLvC7A7E3g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump “dropped by” the @UN #ClimateActionSummit for less than 15 minutes and then left for another event. It was a vivid example of how, under his watch, the United States has gone AWOL on this existential threat. The rest of us must work to fill the void. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As General Motors workers head into the second week of their strike, let’s help amplify their voices. Tell @GM: start looking out for the welfare of your employees—especially after your executives pocketed millions from the Trump Tax Scam. https://t.co/ZQoPupZDQD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If true, this attempt to get the Ukrainian leader to interfere in our elections is an illegal abuse of power. It’s downright criminal if Trump was using $250M of U.S. assistance as a quid pro quo. And blocking a whistleblower is a cover-up. Congress and the courts must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s hard to read Evicted by @just_shelter and not be shaken about the affordable housing crisis facing our country. I introduced a bill that would go a long way to help keep families in their homes, reduce homelessness, and promote stronger communities. https://t.co/U9IG0hOZwI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s been well-documented that some corporate executives are exploiting a loophole to engage in insider trading. There’s an easy way to fix this: close the 8-K trading gap. I have a bill do so—let’s get it done. As SEC Chairman Clayton has said, this is “basic corporate hygiene.” https://t.co/UqK84fc4Ah — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

There's agreement that we need to stop China from stealing our trade secrets—but there are smart and dumb ways to do that. It makes no sense to impose trade penalties on our allies when we're trying to rally their support to confront China’s unfair practices. We're not an island. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I’ve been a longtime supporter of #DCStatehood. After more than 25 years, the House held a hearing on this issue today. I stand with @MayorBowser, @EleanorNorton, and all of the 700,000 taxpaying residents who are fighting for equal representation in Congress. https://t.co/jw0StyVN61 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This week, the House passed the #FUTUREAct to continue important funding for HBCUs like @BowieState, @CoppinStateUniv, @MorganStateU, and @UMESNews. This is yet another bill that Mitch McConnell should bring up for a vote in the Senate immediately. https://t.co/tOxzYZNvpl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In another attempt to undermine states’ efforts to combat climate change, Trump revoked California’s authority to set stricter pollution standards for cars and trucks—which 13 other states, including Maryland, follow. I support @BrianFrosh's efforts to fight this reversal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Big news for the District of Columbia. We secured $6 million to replenish the city’s security funds that were drained because the Trump Administration refused to pay the security costs for their events—including Trump’s inauguration and de facto July Fourth campaign rally. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As the Trump Administration continues to undermine the Affordable Care Act, and weaken its standards, junk insurance plans have skyrocketed. Families like the Diazes deserve affordable and reliable care, not a $244,447.91 bill because the President wants to win a political fight. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The bigger issue with Robert O’ Brien is that he is Trump’s FOURTH national security advisor. We’ve never seen that in the first term of any other president. The instability, dysfunction, and erratic behavior coming from the Oval Office compromises our national security. https://t.co/MHOEkg3sSx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In another attempt to circumvent Congress, the Trump Administration is attempting to implement a new rule that would cause 50,000 Marylanders to lose SNAP benefits and increase national administrative costs by $2.3 billion. We’re demanding that @SecretarySonny rescind this rule. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I know it’s late, but I hope you’ll tune in as @ChrisMurphyCT and I talk about our push to end gun violence. The private sector, states, and the House have acted. We can't let McConnell surrender the Senate's constitutional responsibility. https://t.co/ERJiErm32u — PolitiTweet.org
