Glad to have @AARP backing my bipartisan plan with @SenRickScott to tackle prescription drug costs. Taxpayers help fund the research and development of countless drugs through NIH—they shouldn’t be charged astronomical prices for those same drugs at the pharmacy counter. https://t.co/QfqE4NutRf — PolitiTweet.org

Saketh Sundar from Clarksville is the FIRST and ONLY Marylander to ever win the @ScrippsBee. We sat down in my office in the Hart Senate building to talk spelling, Maryland trivia, and have a friendly competition. 🐝 https://t.co/O50iTjR7KX — PolitiTweet.org

Netanyahu’s decision to conspire with Trump to ban two American congresswomen from visiting Israel shows a fear of free speech and debate. It is a dangerous and unacceptable precedent. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I recently visited the @Waldorfvfd in Southern Maryland to share information about the grants my office has been working on to support firefighters in our state. We also talked about the good news that the Senate passed a permanent extension of the 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. https://t.co/i9bUvuu8Wn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A federal-state-local partnership produced a big win last week for Western Maryland as we broke ground to move the @COcanalNPS Headquarters to the historic Town of Williamsport. We also celebrated the renovation of the canal’s only aqueduct. Hope you visit! — PolitiTweet.org

Two years ago, Heather Heyer was killed while confronting the bigotry of the white supremacists in Charlottesville. We must honor her memory today by refusing to stay silent in the face of racism. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For decades, the Endangered Species Act has protected our most vulnerable wildlife. Trump’s decision to tear up this law is unconscionable. Once again, it’s big business and special interests over the well-being of our environment and our country. Speak out and fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I was in Catonsville on Friday and joined an impromptu rally in support of @RepCummings who has fought tirelessly for Baltimore. This is his district, these are his constituents, and we stand with him and Baltimore. Trump's poison has no place in this country. We will fight back. https://t.co/g1VG6Hd2yo — PolitiTweet.org

These ICE raids are cruel, unnecessary, and heartbreaking—and they are in no way intended to address immigration reform. It’s just family separation by another name. — PolitiTweet.org

Toni Morrison’s words rose above time and place. She wrote on loss and inequality; she wrote on suffering and joy. She illuminated the deepest feelings and shone light on the harshest pains. We were lucky to have her and her writing. And we will deeply cherish her words forever. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is big. Implementing a real-time payments system means that your hard-earned dollars will be available to you faster. I’ve pushed the Fed to move on this for over a year, and I’ll keep working with them to put this plan into action. https://t.co/UgJzz7gOkm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We cannot allow ourselves to reach the point where horror does not horrify. We must stand up to hate and domestic terrorists. Those who refuse to take action to stop the carnage are complicit. Inaction kills. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The New START Treaty is now the only surviving nuclear arms treaty between the U.S. and Russia. It will expire in 2021 unless we act. That’s why @SenToddYoung and I introduced a bill calling to extend it until 2026 so we can prevent a costly and destabilizing arms race. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I guess Trump wants to remix Woodie Guthrie's song to say: "this land is big oil's land." Step 1: Dismantle 84% of @BLMNational's team. Step 2: Appoint Mr. Pendley—a climate change denier who wants to sell our land—to oversee the BLM. We must stop this heist. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Col. Charles McGee is a living aviation legend, trailblazer, and American hero. He flew 409 combat missions in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. That’s why I introduced the bill for his honorary promotion to Brigadier General. Thrilled it passed the Senate today! https://t.co/1pDC7bLfx9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our local chambers look out for our small businesses, why isn’t the @USChamber? They continue to cozy up to the biggest fat cats in the fossil fuel industry and obstruct any meaningful action on climate change. RT to call on the #ChamberofCarbon to support a clean energy economy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump is considering unlawful action to cut already low capital gains tax rates that favor wealthy stockholders over those earning paychecks through hard work. This comes as Trump would deny 500,000 children access to school lunch. We must stop both.https://t.co/IvC622nDAP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today @SenRickScott and I are introducing the We PAID Act. Prescription drug costs are too high. When Big Pharma uses taxpayer-funded research to develop their drugs, they shouldn’t be able to turn around and price gouge patients. This bill would end that. https://t.co/b1i1xfVWNp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

One more to add on top of @BrianSchatz’s question: Why is the Federal Reserve lagging behind other countries in implementing a real-time payment system? Why are they taking so long to get this done? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For people who are living paycheck-to-paycheck, the inability to access their funds in real-time is costing them billions. The Fed has the authority to implement a real-time payment system. I have a bill with @SenWarren to make sure the Fed does its job. https://t.co/Xpfh4SZPwe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Given the recent news, I’ve teamed up with @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenJeffMerkley and @JerryMoran to introduce a bipartisan bill that'll ensure taxpayers don’t bankroll a Saudi nuclear bomb by imposing the strictest nonproliferation conditions on @EximBankUS financing to Saudi Arabia. — PolitiTweet.org

When we have Republicans putting their reelection campaigns ahead of condemning the President’s racist attacks, we know we are at a low point in this country. Everyone who loves Baltimore and supports @RepCummings should speak out in the face of hatred. https://t.co/htZ6Fehgmn — PolitiTweet.org

Standing in front of the Supreme Court, @SenateDems are unveiling our constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. It’s time to finally end the outside influence of special interest spending that is corrupting our democracy. https://t.co/jpzZA3vr3g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As the conference on the National Defense Authorization Act begins, @MarcoRubio and I are asking the participants to include the DETER Act in the final bill. The main purpose of the NDAA is to help defend our democracy and we must stop Putin from attacking our elections. https://t.co/tUIg9XolXe — PolitiTweet.org
