The filibuster rule is standing in the way of our democracy – allowing the GOP minority to block the will of the large majority of the American people. It’s past time to #AbolishTheFilibuster & pass a federal law to codify Roe v Wade NOW. https://t.co/d8eZyzCP5o — PolitiTweet.org

Let's be clear: Erdogan extorting Sweden and Finland in connection with their quest to join NATO is reprehensible. It debases what the NATO Alliance stands for. The only beneficiary of this extortion, other than Erdogan, is Putin. https://t.co/ENPKXyeSYQ — PolitiTweet.org

Today history was made. Judge Jackson is now Justice Jackson. At a time when the far-right Court’s decisions threaten to undermine our fundamental rights, I'm confident that Justice Jackson will protect liberty & uphold the Court’s promise of equal justice under law. https://t.co/mGKoEBy93H — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

With this and other Supreme Court decisions, we are witnessing the tyranny of the minority — an unelected body that was voted in by Senators representing a minority of Americans imposing their will on the majority. A house divided against itself cannot stand. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Court’s extreme ruling here will disrupt the federal government’s ability to protect our environment. It puts private profits over clean air and the public good. That’s why big corporate lobbyists are cheering this result. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This sentence of the dissent sums up the ruling: “The Court appoints itself — instead of Congress or the expert agencies — the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today, with their decision in WV v EPA, the right-wing Supreme Court took another disastrous step to push our nation into the past – impeding our ability to stop big corporations from polluting our air with impunity. — PolitiTweet.org

P.S. 103 – where Thurgood Marshall learned to read & write – is part of the heart, soul & history of Baltimore. And with these investments – powered in part by federal $ we secured – this new center will honor his legacy & strengthen our community. https://t.co/xSHsv3u4bo — PolitiTweet.org

We must never forget the sacrifices the Greatest Generation made to protect our freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Reminder – Mark Paoletta is the guy who helped Trump illegally withhold funds from Ukraine in an attempt to blackmail the Ukrainian government for dirt on his political opponent. I know – I requested the GAO inquiry that found his actions broke the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Glad to invite Finland & Sweden to join NATO. Putin’s brutal attack on Ukraine & his gambit to weaken the Alliance have backfired in a big way. NATO is stronger than ever & we’ll continue to stand united against Putin’s aggression. https://t.co/CVWWDeDfGs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I am monitoring the reports of a Baltimore police sergeant who was critically injured last night while trying to protect the Northwest Baltimore community. We cannot forget the sacrifices that our brave first responders make every day. https://t.co/roT79fYDPi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s unacceptable that conditions at the Water Reed Base Firehouse remain in a state of disrepair – which led to a firefighter being injured 2 weeks ago. Today, Federal Team Maryland is once again calling on Navy leadership to address the unsafe working conditions. ⤵️ https://t.co/Wmv6lJCVnp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump knew the Jan. 6th mob was armed. But he did nothing to stop them. In fact, despite the clear threat of violence, he encouraged them to march on the Capitol. This is the truth that the American people need to know. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This investment in our nation’s EV charging stations will move us closer towards a clean-energy future and create 2k new jobs. It is a key part of the infrastructure modernization law, but there’s much more to do. https://t.co/RCydDAn0HS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today we honor the memories of the five Marylanders killed in the Capital Gazette shooting four years ago: Rebecca Smith, Wendi Winters, Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, & John McNamara.   We must support & protect a free press, who put themselves at risk to bring us the truth. https://t.co/KLCzc03mSX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

When you’re ill, a quick diagnosis can stand between life & death. But too many Americans face misdiagnoses that can end w/ tragic consequences. That’s why @SenatorLujan, @RepDonBeyer, @RepKimSchrier & I intro’d the Improving Diagnosis in Medicine Act ⤵️ https://t.co/xjMxZT35z7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Just last week Mike Pence made it crystal clear when he said: “we must not rest and must not relent until the sanctity of life is restored to the center of American law in every state in the land.” We cannot let them impose their extremist agenda on the American people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We must mobilize to defeat the far-right’s 2-Step plan: Step 1: Overturn Roe. Step 2: Elect a House, Senate, and President to enact a federal law banning abortion everywhere. Republicans are not even afraid to say the quiet part out loud anymore … ⤵️ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Putin’s criminality knows no bounds, but our determination will not falter. @POTUS is meeting with key global leaders this week to continue providing support to the Ukrainian people & to ensure Russia is held accountable for this tyranny. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Every individual has the right to pray to their God or not pray at all. But all those cheering on this Supreme Court ruling will regret it when public school officials begin leading their kids in prayers to Gods they don’t believe in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I commend @POTUS' initiative to work with fellow G7 democracies to support the infrastructure needs of low- and middle-income countries. This plan will better counter the efforts of those authoritarian regimes who use their economic muscle to bully developing countries. https://t.co/7qT5CwxFYA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

#OTD 7 years ago, SCOTUS' Obergefell v. Hodges decision guaranteed the right to marriage equality. But Justice Thomas’ concurring opinion overturning Roe shows this right is also in the cross-hairs of the far-right ideologues. We must not & will not let them succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

#OTD 84 years ago the Fair Labor Standards Act became law. Today the fight to support workers continues by updating our laws & supporting the revitalized union movement in places like Apple, Starbucks & Amazon. And, I’ll keep fighting to pass the PRO Act! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Happy Pride Day, Baltimore! MD, the Free State, will always be a place where people are able to live freely as their most authentic selves – no matter what the right-wing Court tries to do next. And I’ll never stop fighting to ensure everyone has that right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Dark $ has infected our politics & undermined the will of the people – just look at the far-right Court. 10 years ago today the House passed my DISCLOSE Act to ban secret $. The Senate GOP blocked it with a filibuster. We will not stop until we return power to the people. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A little ray of sunshine on an otherwise bleak day for our country. The bipartisan gun safety bill is now headed to @POTUS’ desk. This is one small step forward in our efforts to end the epidemic of gun violence & lays a foundation upon which to build our movement to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For this Supreme Court majority and for right-wing Republicans, the Handmaid’s Tale is not just a book or show, it’s a plan. We the People must mobilize because today’s SCOTUS #RoeVWade decision is just step one. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

SCOTUS has thrown aside the Constitution & is instead forcing its ideological beliefs down the throats of the American people. This #RoeVWade decision not only overturns the law that has been in place for almost 50 years – it flies directly in the face of the will of our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is a results-driven ruling, not a rule of law decision & it undermines SCOTUS' legitimacy. The American people don’t want state elected officials telling them what to do in their most private & personal decisions. Congress must act now to protect reproductive freedom. — PolitiTweet.org
