Happy 30th anniversary, Camden Yards! Over the past 3 decades, my family & I have many fond memories watching the O’s – though it’s hard to top this one (and my first pitch was a strike!). Here’s to 30 more years at America’s greatest ballpark! https://t.co/XYQCjRkp0w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Here’s the bottom line: The Inflation Reduction Act will address the climate crisis, lower Rx costs, fix parts of our broken tax system & reduce the deficit. And, it will do that w/o raising taxes on anyone making under 400k a year – not by one dime. https://t.co/9D6i6BOUx7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republicans spend a lot of time talking about inflation – but so far I haven’t heard them propose any solutions to fix it. But we have a plan: it’s the Inflation Reduction Act. It will help lower costs and build on the economic progress shown in today’s jobs report. https://t.co/ev0nzvlymL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We're about to take a major step forward in tackling the climate crisis while creating thousands of good-paying jobs. We’ve gotten this far b/c of the persistence of people power all over the country & groups like @LCVoters & @ClimatePower. Now, the Senate needs to get this done! https://t.co/IEqm5hCouR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I know my GOP colleagues don’t like facts to get in the way of their talking points, but just a reminder: the Inflation Reduction Act cuts govt spending overall by reducing the amounts Medicare & seniors pay for Rx costs. And unlike the 2017 GOP tax scam, it reduces the deficit. https://t.co/OKj7mNw5c6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A strong labor market is key to a strong economy. This is BIG progress as we work to bring down costs. Next up, passing the Inflation Reduction Act so we can keep this momentum going. https://t.co/LhZI1LaQtw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Great news for our workers & big progress for our transition to a clean energy future! These federal $s for apprenticeships & training will help support the more than 10k jobs coming to MD as part of our growing off-shore wind energy production. A big win! https://t.co/tApbCrfdK0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Finally, Alex Jones pays for some of the pain and suffering he caused the parents of Sandy Hook families. No dollar figure will cover the harm he did – on top of the enormous pain these parents were already experiencing – but the truth still matters. https://t.co/wZlJNPoSrJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Apart from the Republican Senate cloakroom, which appears to be a fact-free zone, most Americans recognize the very real harm caused by climate change. They’re demanding that we deliver on the clean energy promises of the Inflation Reduction Act before the crisis worsens. https://t.co/ewpm7khnE0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Historic droughts, devastating flooding, record temps. We don’t need to wait for signs that the climate crisis is coming – it’s here. The Inflation Reduction Act's clean energy investments are our best chance for curbing emissions & saving our planet. https://t.co/cf12hlSfJq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is a miscarriage of justice. We must bring Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We face challenges on a # of fronts, & to address them we need to take action NOW that meets this moment. I’m speaking LIVE on the floor on why the Inflation Reduction Act is the action we need. https://t.co/SMwi4o8sBR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Right now, far-right states are trying to punish women for crossing state lines to get the reproductive care they need. This action by @POTUS is urgent, but there’s no doubt we’ve got more to do. We MUST codify Roe V Wade to stop this extreme power grab. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

There’s only one party of fiscal responsibility that actually has the receipts to back it up: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

With his brutal attack on Ukraine, Putin thought he could divide the Atlantic Alliance & weaken democracy in the process – he was wrong! With Sweden & Finland now joining NATO we’re stronger than ever. Democracy will prevail. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Doctors take the Hippocratic Oath to ‘do no harm.’ But w/ far-right states pushing laws to punish them for providing reproductive care, they risk being sued for saving women's lives. Republicans just blocked us from passing a bill to protect doctors doing their jobs. Shameful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Senate Republicans don't want to “transform” Medicare & Social Security – they want to put them on the chopping block. We're fighting to make health care & RX drugs more affordable for all. When folks tell you what they plan to do, believe them! https://t.co/f1fLE4WXx7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Don’t just take my word for it … 5 former Treasury Secretaries – from BOTH parties – lay it out clearly: our Inflation Reduction Act “will help increase American competitiveness, address our climate crisis, lower costs for families, & fight inflation.” Pass it on! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This progress has been yrs in the making: from passing the ACA to the record-breaking # of signups we saw when we lowered premiums in the #AmericanRescuePlan. But our work isn’t done. I’m committed to passing the Inflation Reduction Act to keep affordable health care within reach — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Wake-up call to my Senate Republican colleagues: Voters in Kansas just voted overwhelming to trust women to make their own reproductive choices. Stop blocking a vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Last week when I met Larry Zarzecki, a MDer & @AARP advocate, he told me that to afford his medications he was forced to sell his house & move in with his son. His story isn’t unusual. With the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re cutting the cost of Rx & putting patients over profits. https://t.co/tepWKn9qgz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republicans want to say the Inflation Reduction Act isn’t fiscally responsible, but let’s take a look … Their GOP Tax Scam increased the deficit by $2T. Our Inflation Reduction Act is fully paid for & will reduce the deficit by $300B. It's not hard. It's just math. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

When we say we support our veterans we better mean it. It was good to join some of these veterans outside the Capitol today, including MDers, to thank them for all they’ve done. Now, the PACT Act is headed to @POTUS’ desk so toxic-exposed vets will get the care they deserve. https://t.co/idWtdiXsil — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thank you for never giving up the fight, @MDLCV! The perseverance you and others have demonstrated has gotten us to this point. Now we need to push it over the finish line. Onwards! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

To fight back against inflation – and the pressure Putin’s war, price gouging, & the pandemic are putting on our economy – we’re taking action. Take it from the experts: this bill will help us tackle inflation & reduce costs on everything from RX drugs to Americans’ energy bills. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Democracy is under attack here at home & around the globe so I salute @SpeakerPelosi for her visit to Taiwan. She is not changing US policy but has been steadfast in her commitment to human rights & democratic principles. No one should have a veto on that. https://t.co/dnOmApe9YC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Fire fighters serve our communities 24/7: never hesitating to run towards danger. But many are working at firehouses in disrepair. The new bill we announced today would provide the resources they need to better support their mission. https://t.co/X3OV9lHGA0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Every day that goes by without passage of the #PACTAct is a day veterans aren’t getting the care they deserve. Republicans blocked the bill once, turning their backs on our vets. This week we will give them another chance. The country is watching. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Senate Cafeteria workers – many of whom are my constituents – are part of the backbone of Congress. Like all workers, they deserve a contract with fair wages & benefits. I will not cross the picket line today & I stand in solidarity with them. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

#OTD in 1965 Pres. LBJ signed Medicare & Medicaid into law. Over 50+ years, they've been a lifeline for millions of Americans. Now we need to finally ⬇️ costs of Rx by giving Medicare the power to negotiate prices like any private insurance company can. Let’s get it done! https://t.co/8OmTSmRkL4 — PolitiTweet.org
