Access to the internet is not a luxury, it’s a 21st-century necessity. Today I joined @GeneSperling46 & the @USTreasury to announce that an additional $95M is headed to MD from the American Rescue Plan to connect thousands more MD homes & businesses to the internet. https://t.co/V6kfJs3qf3 — PolitiTweet.org

Today I had the privilege of paying my respects to Hershel “Woody” Williams, who had been the last living Medal of Honor recipient from WWII. Our nation will forever be indebted to the Greatest Generation for the countless sacrifices they made for our country. https://t.co/bIXbQLNs9a — PolitiTweet.org

Despicable. We cannot stay silent as Republicans compete in a race to the bottom aimed at stripping women of their rights and, ultimately, putting their health and lives at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Billionaires are using dark $ to undermine our elections & drown out the voices of hardworking families. What’s more, the super-rich pay a lower % in taxes than most middle-income Americans. It’s time to #TaxBillionaires & invest in the success of every American. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Another state court has overturned an extreme law that jeopardizes reproductive health care and endangers women’s lives. But this success is only temporary. We must codify #RoevWade to ensure all Americans their right to access care. https://t.co/rG8lhTSwfz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump is scared, he’s desperate, he’s angry. But his bullying won't work this time. And thanks to the work of the @January6thCmte, the American people are hearing the facts and learning the full truth. #Jan6thHearings — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Amidst all the dark news here on earth, the spectacular images from @NASAWebb brought rays of light from deep in the universe. Was proud to join folks at @NASAGoddard & thank all who made it happen. Today, Maryland stood at the center of the universe! #UnfoldTheUniverse https://t.co/6Q02Yts71W — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For years we’ve fought to protect reproductive rights in MD. But far-right lawmakers in states across the country are trying to pass laws that target doctors for doing their jobs & send bounty hunters after those seeking care in MD or elsewhere. We can’t let this stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s critical that ATF has the leadership it needs to enforce our gun laws & protect Americans. But Republicans have refused to fill the ATF Director position since 2015. Today we fixed that. I’m confident Steve Dettelbach is up to the task & I was proud to vote to confirm him. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We agree w/ @SecBlinken’s call for an “independent, credible” investigation into the shooting death of American journalist Shireen Abu Akeh. The reviews to date fail that test. That's why we’re asking again for a transparent process, evidence-based answers, and accountability. https://t.co/d67Ta2txiB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

New frontiers of space are being explored right here in MD at @NASAGoddard & @SpaceTelescope. After years of working to make @NASAWebb a reality, tomorrow we’ll get to see its first images–& get a deeper glimpse into our universe than we’ve ever had before https://t.co/7LiMKZCSCA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is the right call to prevent further gaming of the system. Otherwise, many others would be encouraged to follow the Bannon example of thumbing their nose at congressional subpoenas until they face a criminal trial. https://t.co/7tSkow1t4E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Far-right states are attacking reproductive health care from all angles, some even banning the right to choose w/o exception for rape & incest. @POTUS' EO will help protect vital medical procedures, interstate travel, & Americans’ health info. But we must codify Roe v Wade. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The #AmericanRescuePlan is working: today’s jobs report shows 372k new jobs and rising wages, and we now have more private-sector jobs than before the pandemic. For many, inflation is still taking a toll and I’ll keep fighting to reduce prices as we keep our recovery on track. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

When workers pay more taxes than a big drug company, you know the 2017 Trump/GOP Tax Scam stacked the deck in favor of powerful special interests. I introduced S. 1545 to expose this kind of abuse so we can stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

From the day I met Gabby, I knew she was a fighter. First for Arizonans, then to stay alive, & now to turn tragedy into action. Congratulations, Gabby on this recognition of your tireless work to strengthen gun safety. While our fight isn’t over, I know you’ll keep pushing us on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Richard Trumka spent his life fighting on behalf of workers & their right to organize. He was an unstoppable force, & I was proud to stand w/ him in this fight. As @POTUS posthumously honors him today w/ a Presidential Medal of Freedom, his legacy continues to drive us forward. https://t.co/nuiEVisPWh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After the far right-packed SCOTUS delivered a series of disastrous rulings this session, we should all be scared about their move to hear a case next term that could totally undermine our democracy UNLESS Congress passes the Freedom to Vote Act. https://t.co/tyaH96sTdg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For the past 40+ years, @jemillerwbal has served the people of Baltimore, delivering hard facts, the unvarnished truth & professional journalism of the highest standards. She will be missed on airwaves, but expect that Jayne will keep working to strengthen Baltimore. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Rising costs are putting a strain on Americans, driven by the 3 P’s: ❌ Putin ❌ the Pandemic ❌ Price Gouging But it’s the 4th P: ❌ Politics That’s blocking progress. Senate Republicans need to join us in addressing these challenges or get out of the way. https://t.co/onpmd5G5Bf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Over the next few years, as many as 3 million American workers & retirees were – through no fault of their own – facing pension cuts as high as 70%. But as part of the #AmericanRescuePlan, we saved these pensions & stopped these devastating cuts. https://t.co/679qVdoiuM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For 10 years, DACA has given Dreamers the opportunity to come out of the shadows & make vital contributions to our communities. But they shouldn’t have to live in legal limbo. We must fix our broken immigration system & provide a path to citizenship for Dreamers now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our soldiers should never be blamed for decisions made by political leaders, but our Vietnam vets were denied a proper welcome home from a nation divided. Glad to see these four finally receive America’s highest honor for valor and courage. https://t.co/Zi4Ejpog8J — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This weekend’s loss of life – from Illinois to our region – marks another set of tragedies that the mounting toll gun violence is taking on our communities. We must never normalize the unacceptable and never rest until we end these senseless killings. — PolitiTweet.org

This weekend’s loss of life – from Illinois to our region – marks yet another series of tragedies that the painful toll gun violence is taking on our communities. We must never normalize the unacceptable and never rest until we end these senseless killings. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Happy #FourthofJuly! At this critical moment, as we celebrate our Declaration of Independence from a foreign power, all of us who love America must redouble our efforts to defend our democracy from threats here at home. That is the essence of patriotism. https://t.co/dMOtOfXuIG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is the reality of the Republican agenda: Taking us back 100 years and blocking access to reproductive health care. We cannot let them keep pushing our nation backwards. https://t.co/Liy3z3BVhp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland is a leader in the charge towards a clean energy economy, including the General Assembly’s recent adoption of an accelerated greenhouse gas reduction target. But our state can’t do it alone. We need to enact a federal climate bill this month. https://t.co/6uRfdvhLep — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republicans were lying when they said overturning Roe v Wade was about “states' rights.” They want to control Americans’ access to reproductive health care no matter where they go. And we must stop them from imposing their extremist agenda on the country. https://t.co/FjepqiQQGx — PolitiTweet.org

The Highway to Nowhere has divided W. Baltimore for decades, displacing nearly 1.5k ppl. That’s why I fought to create this grant program to reconnect communities split by harmful infrastructure. This is the next step to address injustice, reunite neighborhoods & grow opportunity — PolitiTweet.org
