Good news. I’ve urged our government to grant Temporary Protected Status to Cameroonians here because of the civil war there and @SecMayorkas called to inform me that the Biden Administration will take this important step to keep these families safe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After the Trump Admin decried supposed widespread “voter fraud” in an attempt to overthrow a free and fair election and advance voter suppression laws, turns out the rot was closer to home than they wanted us to know. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Suitland neighborhood sits in the shadow of fed gov’t offices, but it hasn’t benefited economically from the thousands of fed employees who work there. Proud to team up with @CEXAlsobrooks & @PrinceGeorgesMD to support the redevelopment of the area & expand opportunities. https://t.co/8BfzHfu9Bu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As Putin continues his barbaric war of choice, this additional $800M in security aid will provide the Ukrainian people with the weapons & assistance they need to defend themselves. Putin’s actions have turned Russia into a pariah state. Tyranny will not win. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Every American who wants to work should be able to get a job, and we should support programs that develop skills to match workers with job openings. That’s why I secured $3.3M in fed $$ for four great organizations who do that in Baltimore. Today, we discussed their initiatives. https://t.co/JrwR3GOQr2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The #AmericanRescuePlan worked as planned–We're in the midst of the jobs turnaround of the century. That’s very good news but w/ Putin’s war adding to price hikes we must enact our plans to stop price gouging & cut costs of everything from Rx to child care https://t.co/X0eK3hhcbv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We must invest in opportunity & the future of our workforce. In recent omnibus bill I was able to secure fed $$ for our MD colleges & universities and today joined @UMESNews to discuss funds for a historic digitalization project & an interdisciplinary research center. https://t.co/8FQm0zAdHp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

MD’s regional airports are key gateways to economic opportunity. Today I joined community leaders, business development folks & airline reps to present fed funds I secured to extend the runway & support future demand & growth at @flysbyairport. W/ these $$s, the sky is the limit! https://t.co/cXREhBPM48 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congratulations to the entire Maryland General Assembly and @SpeakerAJones and @SenBillFerg on a busy and productive 2022 session, which included a slew of important new measures to make MD an even better place to live, raise a family, and work with dignity. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

No American should face financial ruin because of medical debt. This action by the Biden Administration is a good next step to protect consumers & reduce the burden of medical debt in Americans’ lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Always love the sights, sounds and excitement of opening day! Great to join @MayorBMScott to celebrate the @Orioles Camden Yards #OpeningDay WIN on the 30th year anniversary of the best ballpark in the country.  Undefeated at home, go O’s! https://t.co/T3mzdrm23v — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

More & more crimes are being committed w/ ‘ghost guns’ b/c they're untraceable. Glad to join @POTUS today as he intro’d a new federal rule to crack down on these weapons & enact other measures for public safety. If Republicans are too afraid to stand up to the gun lobby, we will. https://t.co/bONd44MbfV — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, Americans are getting back to work much faster than projected. In fact, since @POTUS took office we have seen 7.9M new jobs. Our work isn’t done. Many are stretching to make ends meet & we must ⬇️ prices, but things are on the right track. https://t.co/V5OkYwwXVR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s a long journey toward building a more perfect union and to move forward we must confront the injustices of the past. That’s why I was honored to present the @lewismuseum with federal $$s I secured to create a permanent exhibit on the brutal history of lynching in MD. https://t.co/OwRWUEpsQP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

And here comes the $2 billion hush money payout to Trump’s son-in-law, Jared, for the Trump Admin looking the other way in the face of Washington Post columnist, Jamal Khashoggi’s dismemberment by bone saw. Blood money. https://t.co/ppHFuOYsgF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

When others need a helping hand, Marylanders are always happy to provide it. Proud to see @UofMaryland partner with @RESCUEorg to lead this first-of-its-kind partnership to provide a home to Afghan refugees. https://t.co/xdJXui1kw1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congrats to Dr. Laurie Locascio, the former VP of Research at @UofMaryland, who we’ve confirmed to serve as Under Secretary for Standards & Technology at @CommerceGov & Director of MD-based @NIST. Couldn’t think of anyone better to keep us on the leading edge of innovation & tech https://t.co/ZTHSgorNvE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Local communities pay the price when big polluters aren’t held accountable for the damage they cause. This ruling brings us one step closer to holding Big Oil responsible & is a major win for Baltimore & MD as we keep fighting for a cleaner, healthier future! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This moment is a reminder of why so many of us stay in the fight! Honored to join @POTUS, @VP, and soon-to-be Justice Jackson to celebrate this important step in our nation’s long journey to build a more perfect union. https://t.co/icGjSO3AMZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Investing more in the success of our HBCUs & our students is an investment in our future. W/ the bipartisan bill that @SenThomTillis & I intro’d, we can boost our investment in cutting edge research to create a more diverse pipeline for careers in STEM. https://t.co/ga0wltBM5X — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We MUST be united if we’re going to hold Putin and those who enable him accountable for the atrocities they commit against the Ukrainian people. Cutting off their trade benefits to the U.S. is an important step – and I’ll keep fighting for more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

With today’s vote, both Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson and the Senate made history. I was proud to vote in favor of her confirmation. Like Marylander Thurgood Marshall before her, Judge Jackson is a trailblazer, & I know she will uphold equal justice under the law. https://t.co/FJ22f4M4Tq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Throughout her impeccable career, Judge Jackson’s brilliance, wisdom, & grace have shown through. She’s unshakeable. She’s inspiring. And soon, she will make history as the first Black woman to join the Supreme Court. This is a victory for America! #ConfirmKBJ https://t.co/Jf3SbgAQcl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Putin completely underestimated the world’s response to his unprovoked brutality. We will not look the other way while he continues these vicious attacks against the people of Ukraine. And we must continue to supply Ukraine with the weapons it needs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Allowing Russia to retain its seat on the @UN_HRC, while it is being investigated for war crimes, is an affront to the principles of the @UN. Glad to see @USAmbUN support our calls to take this action. Putin’s Russia must be made a pariah state. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Like many, Senate cafeteria workers have persevered in the face of adversity during the pandemic. That’s why I was shocked to learn 81 workers were being laid off. I’m glad that, together, we fought back to fix this & prevent these layoffs. https://t.co/FsEcWA1uSS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

MDers should be able to rely on @USPS, but recently that hasn't been the case. Now, w/ @POTUS' signature on the Postal Service Reform Act, we can improve USPS. But our work isn't done yet. I'll keep working w/ Team MD to bring reliable service back to MD. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This bill doesn’t just deny freedom of choice to the women of Oklahoma – the patchwork of state laws being rammed through by GOP state legislatures attacks the rights of women everywhere. Congress needs to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act now! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

RT @Nature_DCMDVA: #ICYMI: The 2022 Omnibus funding bill included big wins for conservation in Maryland! Thank you @SenatorCardin and @Chr… — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Americans have a right to know when big corps are abusing tax havens or offshoring jobs. This SEC move to hold Amazon accountable is an impt step, but we must do more. Congress should act on my Disclosure of Tax Havens & Offshoring Act, to require companies to disclose this info. — PolitiTweet.org
