As a father, I can only imagine the crushing pain experienced by these parents. As a lawmaker, I am deeply angered by the shameful refusal of my GOP colleagues to take action to end the horrific status quo. This cannot become who we are. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Two years ago today our nation witnessed the murder of George Floyd. @POTUS' new EO is an important 1st step to address the use of excessive force, but to make lasting progress we must still enact the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. https://t.co/2oX7nB492k — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Horrific beyond words. Every parent’s worst nightmare. We are failing our nation’s children, and their teachers, by acting as though these mass shootings are normal or unavoidable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s great to be back home after a long week. I’m grateful for the generous outpouring of support from everyone and the dedicated care I received from the team at GW. https://t.co/qv2uNcM7sM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In the meantime, I want to make clear where I stand on 2 issues up for a vote today: providing additional aid to Ukraine & relief for restaurants & small businesses still weathering the pandemic. While I won’t be present to vote on these bills, they’ve got my strong support. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A heartfelt thank you to everyone for the outpouring of well-wishes and kind messages. I’m on the mend and on track for a full recovery, and following my doctors' orders, I’ll begin to ease back into my schedule. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This weekend, after feeling lightheaded while delivering a speech, I sought medical attention at the recommendation of the Attending Physician. I’m feeling much better but will follow doctors' orders and curtail my schedule for the next few days. My full statement is below: https://t.co/1sYq7FZMqS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Horrified and sickened by this act of pure evil. We must directly confront racism wherever it raises its vile head — and bring the heinous perpetrators of hate crimes to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I stand with each and every person marching across Maryland & our country today in support of reproductive rights and freedom of choice. We cannot – and will not – let up in the battle to protect and codify #RoevWade. We face a real and present danger, and we must fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

No family should live in fear of not knowing how they will provide their child their next meal. The baby formula shortage is unacceptable, and we’re calling on manufacturers to increase supply at once. https://t.co/Zmhk2CPgjI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Agree. This simply adds trauma on top of a tragedy. Need immediate accountability for these attacks on people mourning the death of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. And her killer must be brought to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Agree with you 100% @SenWhitehouse. That’s why I’ve fought this absurd GOP rider for years & even filed a lawsuit against the IRS for allowing the misinterpretation of the existing statute to stand. It’s time to put a stop to this unlimited dark-money spending. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This isn’t about politics – it’s about providing the American people with answers. Our democracy came dangerously close to the edge on Jan 6th & to ensure something like this never happens again, we need the whole truth. https://t.co/EWFRCo5djD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland’s families & communities have been ravaged by the opioid epidemic. We need solutions now. I’m working to eliminate barriers to treatment, and I support legislation like the Mainstreaming Addiction Treatment Act to help get this done. https://t.co/n17ld4wSWp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Corporations shouldn’t be rewarded for union busting. That’s why @SenBobCasey, Senator @RonWyden, and I just introduced our bill to ensure that corporations no longer get to claim a tax deduction for spending money to interfere with a union election or break labor laws. https://t.co/azoUomQpsc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

.@SpeakerPelosi is right. Anyone who believes in press freedom and justice should call for a thorough and independent investigation into the killing of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The crackdown continues on the rights of the people of #HongKong. We must vigorously impose the sanctions under the Hong Kong Autonomy Act to ensure the Hong Kong govt pays some price for muzzling champions of freedom like Cardinal Zen under the auspices of “national security.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

About to head to the Senate floor to vote YES on the Women’s Health Protection Act. As the Supreme Court appears poised to overturn Roe V. Wade, it’s more important than ever that the American people know where their Senators stand & who is fighting for their reproductive rights. https://t.co/F0QkH77q60 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republicans think big corps & the rich are paying too much in taxes. And what’s their solution? Well, there’s a reason Mitch McConnell is telling Senator Scott to keep quiet about it: His plan would raise taxes on low & middle-income Americans & sunset Medicare & Social Security. https://t.co/DYpW36M87g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

At a time when Putin’s war is putting a strain on Americans’ budgets, it’s outrageous that big corps are taking advantage by price gouging the American people. I’m not under any illusion that Republicans will work with us on a solution, but it’s what the American people deserve. https://t.co/BlzRKUn2o6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Americans are feeling the strain of rising prices because of the 4 Ps: Putin’s war, pandemic supply chain issues, price gouging, & politics. Instead of working with us, Republicans are trying to push a plan that would raise taxes on everyday Americans. https://t.co/wJFUBDcpba — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As Ukrainians continue to bravely defend their sovereignty, we must ensure they have the supplies & weapons they need to drive Putin out of their country. The Ukrainian aid bill just passed in the House, & I will be voting YES when it comes to a vote here in the Senate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Ahead of tomorrow’s vote, I’m taking to the Senate floor to speak about what’s at stake if Roe v. Wade is overturned & to urge my colleagues to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. WATCH LIVE. https://t.co/DQYTjkkXba — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Access to high-speed broadband internet isn’t a luxury – it’s a modern-day necessity. Now, with @POTUS’ Affordable Connectivity Program, more MDers will have affordable internet access no matter their income or their zip code. https://t.co/mis8YIZO9E — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Putin’s speech yesterday was another sickening use of propaganda. As he marked the Russian defeat of the Nazis in World War II, it’s he himself who will be remembered in the ranks of these fascists, as he commits war crimes and atrocities in Ukraine. https://t.co/7sahzPJGe5 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

.@BowieState’s BIC at BSU program has helped win over $30M in gov’t contracts for underserved small businesses. I was pleased to team up w/ @SenatorCardin to secure $3 million so BSU can expand their work to more MDers & help other HBCUs start their own procurement programs. https://t.co/p7ZW0kzUG6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The American people deserve to know who’s working to strip away their constitutional right to reproductive freedom. W/ Republicans fighting to overturn Roe in the courts & then implement a nationwide ban on safe & legal abortions in the Senate, it’s time to put them on the record https://t.co/b1ppnYN61J — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Workers deserve a seat at the table to negotiate for fair compensation & safer working conditions – especially as the companies they work for rake in record profits. https://t.co/zdOeew29xz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If danger is barreling down on you, your options are to get run over or take action and get out of the way. Right now, Republicans are opting to get run over – refusing to work w/ us to pass urgent COVID $$ to purchase the vaccines & testing we need to prepare us for what’s next. https://t.co/iRb9kChuEZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Wouldn’t it be nice if this #MothersDay — in addition to flowers — everyone would commit to enacting meaningful measures to support mothers & families — like paid family leave, the child tax credit, and our proposal to dramatically cut the cost of child care? Happy Mother’s Day! https://t.co/grC64Qwem1 — PolitiTweet.org
