In any other public health crisis, Congress would act to save lives. The gun violence epidemic is no different. The Constitution gives Congress the power to pass laws and McConnell is failing his oath by contracting out his vote to Trump and the gun lobby. https://t.co/Ujua7Pps8o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is a tremendous step in the right direction. I’ve pushed for legislation to do this at the federal level since my days in the House, and I continue to fight for it. No one should be forced to sit in jail because they can’t afford bail. https://t.co/qINW3cPLzL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This Administration wants to keep manipulating the congressional appropriations process to fund its cruel family separation policy. But the Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse and we can stop them. We sent this letter to organize resistance against this power grab. https://t.co/ndRNKWLjrU — PolitiTweet.org

I stand with the nearly 50,000 General Motors employees demanding fair wages and stronger workplace policies. It is unacceptable that after pocketing their corporate tax cut, @GM is laying off workers across the country, including by shuttering a plant in White Marsh. — PolitiTweet.org

“You are never too small to make a difference.”—@GretaThunberg. Make your voice heard now and tell Congress to grow up and take serious action to act on climate change. https://t.co/TqMO8qPi1C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This will be news to all the people watching the President coddle up to Kim Jong-un, Vladimir Putin, and other authoritarian leaders around the world. Trump is more comfortable with dictators and human rights violators than with our democratic allies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is an important win in our effort to stop Trump from using the presidency to enrich himself and his family. In our Constitution, the Emoluments Clause protects against corruption and undue foreign influence. We believe Trump is violating it, and we’re going to keep fighting. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SenateDems: “Even if you believe we need to build this long wall, you should agree that we should not be robbing money out of the accou… — PolitiTweet.org

Baltimore is a great American city. Trump should stop trashing it and work with us to meet the challenges we face. Instead, his budget slashes key investments for Charm City and enacts policies that hurt its residents. Congress will do right by Baltimore City and reject his cuts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

From the Census to NOAA, Secretary Ross has a troubling pattern of putting politics above science and data. We need a Commerce Secretary who will fulfill his oath, not one who sees his job as providing political cover for Trump whenever the White House orders. Ross must resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mr. Secretary, your tweet does not respond to the question any more than your testimony. Here’s your proposed rule. You should read it. It would strip civil rights protections for thousands. Your stats are based on existing regulations, not your new plan. https://t.co/1cApNyuA6x — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s time for the Senate to defend the Constitution and stop the President from robbing critical military projects to fund his wall that he said Mexico would pay for. We have a chance to stop this if Senate Republicans will fulfill their oaths of office. https://t.co/Bfo4MiYCOg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Once again, President Trump is giving polluters a free pass and looking out for big corporations. So much for his commitment to “crystal-clean water.” This will turn back critical protections and leave millions of Americans vulnerable to polluted water. We’ll see you in court. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Yesterday I joined with individuals who lost loved ones to gun violence and @BrianFrosh, @MomsDemand, @Everytown, and activists at a rally hosted by @RepRaskin to demand action. Next week we will again try to force a vote in the Senate on HR 8. https://t.co/AaQundv6Po — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate voted to confirm Trump’s nomination of Dale Cabaniss to lead the @USOPM. I voted against this nominee, but now that she is confirmed, it's more important than ever for Congress to fulfill its oversight duties to protect our civil servants. https://t.co/btqqkjwLxe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As we reflect on the tragic events that unfolded 18 years ago, I urge all Americans to join together in the same spirit of unity, service, and compassion exhibited throughout the country following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. #NeverForget https://t.co/jjcwadIYYH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Netanyahu’s annexation plan killing a viable two-state solution shows he is willing to risk long term harm to Israel and U.S.-Israel relations for short term political gain. Trump may back this reckless move, but Congress should reject it. https://t.co/o9WuLNSoGi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In August, @SecretaryCarson proposed a rule change to make it harder for victims of housing discrimination to succeed in court. But today I pointed out that this change directly contradicts the position he took in court in 2017. I'll keep fighting to ensure fair housing for all. https://t.co/6PIu6jRTyc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is the height of hypocrisy. McConnell now wants to protect funding for a school at Fort Campbell in Kentucky. How about the kids at @Andrews_JBA? @SenateDems want to protect all of these important projects—not just the ones that McConnell wants for reelection. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump’s assault on the Affordable Care Act is taking a toll. The number of uninsured Americans is now the highest since the law went into effect in 2014. Nearly 2M more people were uninsured in 2018 vs. 2017. The Senate must vote on the House-passed bill to stop the sabotage. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good riddance. John Bolton is a warmonger who has been inflating threats and bending intelligence to justify dangerous, predetermined policies. He should never have been in a position of such power, but Trump has only himself to blame for the chaos of his reckless foreign policy. — PolitiTweet.org

If Mitch McConnell wants to vote against something that’s supported by about 90 percent of Americans, that’s his choice—but he shouldn’t block the rest of the Senate from voting to expand background checks. https://t.co/8vkCcYVwmO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As I said yesterday, the Trump-installed NOAA leaders who threw integrity out the window, endangered public safety, and stabbed our scientists in the back—must be held accountable for betraying the public trust and undermining faith in our institutions. They should resign now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump's insistence on his own hallucinatory forecast was outrageous, but ordering agencies to disavow the truth and endorse his delusions undermines the institutions of our government. Trump-installed NOAA leaders betrayed their scientists and the public trust and should resign. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I teamed up with @RepDavidTrone, @SenatorCardin, and @GeoffreyStarks to host a roundtable in Hagerstown with local stakeholders to discuss our work to expand access to high-speed internet in rural areas. We discussed increased federal investments to bridge the digital divide. https://t.co/fKSZra0We3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Young people should be focused on their future, not struggling to find a place to live. Yet many of them face homelessness. I was pleased to join with local and federal officials to announce a $3.7M federal grant to help Baltimore achieve its goal of ending youth homelessness. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The public is entitled to have a vote in the Senate on key issues like life-saving gun safety measures. Congress is a co-equal branch of government, not Trump’s lackey. McConnell must stop contracting out our responsibilities to an unstable president. https://t.co/0OIS0l6EuD — PolitiTweet.org
