A cancer diagnosis is challenging enough but it shouldn’t bring with it a lifetime of crushing medical debt too. These out-of-pocket costs are too high, and I’m working in Congress to bring these costs down & protect hardworking Americans. https://t.co/InzaQb4biA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I’m glad to see the @WhiteHouse strongly respond to the recent bomb threats against our nation’s HBCUs. Racial violence has no place in our society & we must keep doing everything we can to ensure our HBCU communities are safe & supported. https://t.co/ljqIOpdZ5r — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After enduring the COVID-19 pandemic for the last 2 years, it’s more important than ever to bring direct federal $$ to our MD communities to spur opportunity, create jobs, & grow our economy. Here’s how the funding I secured will make an impact in every corner of our state. ⤵️ https://t.co/eGCd3KNRK0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

When American talking heads spread misinformation it’s not only harmful at home but also abroad. Putin is doing everything he can to hide the truth & Tucker Carlson is feeding into his playbook. Americans & the Russian people deserve the facts about what’s going on in Ukraine. https://t.co/KFLr62ZfPf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Leaving President Zelenskyy’s speech was sickening to hear GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy attacking, not Putin, but @POTUS. Somebody needs to tell him who the real enemy is & to stop playing politics with the defense of freedom in Ukraine. We’re all in this together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Just left virtual meeting w/ President Zelenskyy. We must continue to stand w/ him & the people of Ukraine in defense of freedom & democracy, & I applaud @POTUS’ decision to provide $1 billion more in weapons, including increased capacity to shoot down Putin’s planes & missiles. https://t.co/mKXviP9Ib7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

W/ @POTUS’ signature yesterday, we just delivered more than $104 million for MD community projects while increasing funds for everything from health care to our public schools. These historic investments will help us create shared economic prosperity & a brighter future for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Marylanders don’t have to look far to see the impact that climate change is having on our state. We must stand together and take stronger, bolder action to tackle the climate crisis now. https://t.co/KShisJmESc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The FBI's current HQ fails to meet the Bureau’s needs & for years we've fought to build one at a more secure location. Trump tried to stop us but we just got a provision in the FY2022 Omnibus to put us back on track to build it at 1 of 2 sites in MD or 1 in VA. https://t.co/jOnWNe1uhC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This #EqualPayDay we’re reminded that closing the pay gap is not only a matter of principle, but about ending the gap in the ability to afford an education, put food on the table & keep a roof over your head. It’s time we pass the Paycheck Fairness Act to help close the #WageGap. https://t.co/hC1JL5lPez — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Idaho is the latest Republican state to follow Texas’s lead in an effort to strip reproductive freedom from Americans and overturn #RoeVWade. Fundamental rights are on the line. We need to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act now. https://t.co/eSAgdfzmmQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Statutes that glorify those who fought for the confederacy & the defense of slavery don't belong in our public spaces–let alone outside of a courthouse that's supposed to deliver equal justice under the law. I’m glad to see this statute finally coming down https://t.co/5GTy55TJrZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

What happened to 88-year-old Marylander, Myrle Bratcher, is simply wrong. We are working to get her money back and change the laws that allow big banks to make it harder for her to get justice. https://t.co/oQ9pRdWl7h — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Through the #AmericanRescuePlan we delivered the bold relief that Maryland needed to make it through the COVID-19 crisis. One year later, here’s how this historic legislation is helping families and businesses get back on their feet. https://t.co/jVAugAjVpO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good to see MD companies including @mccormickcorp, @Marriott, @UnderArmour, @StanleyBlkDeckr, and more standing up and saying no to Putin’s brutal invasion of Ukraine by suspending their business in Russia. We are united in our resolve to #StandWithUkraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congress must act swiftly on this. No state that indiscriminately targets civilians deserves the benefits of Most Favored Nation status. Putin has put Russia in the same club as North Korea on MFN. We must use every lever we have to punish Putin for his brutal war against Ukraine — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

My job is to fight for the priorities of our communities, our state and our country. While not perfect, the investments in this budget bill for education, health care, public safety, environmental protection, and more meet that test. It’s a win for Maryland and our nation. https://t.co/MKv7v0U3GB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Big Oil has spent millions on spin doctors who mislead people about their role in the climate crisis. Now execs are cashing in on the Ukraine crisis with windfall profits and stock buybacks. It’s time to #StopPolluterPR. https://t.co/TErdZfXD3z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

50 years after housing discrimination was outlawed, communities are still grappling with the impacts of redlining. This is why environmental justice matters. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today, we honor Harriet Tubman, a MDer who escaped slavery & saved countless others in the fight for freedom. Every American should know her name as we strive to live by her example – that's why I will continue to fight to honor her w/ a statue in the Capitol. #HarrietTubmanDay https://t.co/9N1f1wq5Ta — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republicans are stopping at nothing to prevent people from accessing the reproductive health care they need. Now more than ever, we need to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act so people can continue to make their own reproductive decisions. https://t.co/NvkiRvcuyG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I know Americans are feeling the pinch bc of rising gas prices. We’re committed to lowering Americans’ everyday costs–despite GOP opposition. I’ll also keep working to expand our energy options & fighting to prevent Big Oil from using Putin’s war to take advantage of consumers. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

These are war crimes. And Putin will face consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Forced arbitration clauses allow big banks to take away consumers’ rights–& they need to go. At yesterday’s @SenateBanking hearing, I shared 87-year-old MDer Myrle Bratcher’s story, who had her life savings stolen b/c of a fraudulent check, & now is being denied her day in court. https://t.co/Wk5g9URIom — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

On International Women's Day, I’m reflecting on the powerful impact of women leaders, activists and citizens here in MD & around the world who push us forward & inspire and lead with strength and resolve. I remain dedicated to safeguarding women’s rights & the fight for equality. https://t.co/E34GPvNg26 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

MDers receive their meds, correspondence, impt docs & so much more through @USPS. It’s crucial that we ensure it can provide these services for years to come. Today’s passage of the Postal Service Reform Act will help Americans get the timely, reliable USPS service they deserve. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Millions of Americans rely on @USPS every day. Today the Senate is voting on key legislation to improve @USPS and ensure it can continue to serve our nation in the years to come. The House passed this bill last month w/ strong bipartisan support – now the Senate must do the same. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Providing children with school meals helps reduce child hunger. But right now, Mitch McConnell is blocking waivers that allow for greater flexibility and guaranteed access to these school meals. It’s unconscionable. Childhood nutrition is no place for politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our nation’s fire fighters never hesitate to put themselves in harm’s way to protect our communities. It was great to see so many MDers at the @IAFFNewsDesk national conference yesterday to thank them and all of our fire fighters for their commitment to saving lives. https://t.co/jr60awUl8D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

When we drive across a bridge we must be confident that it is safe, but there are 273 bridges in MD in need of repair. The infra modernization bill includes over $400 million to upgrade our bridges. Was good to be in Dundalk yesterday to highlight these investments! https://t.co/0vre06G8Mx — PolitiTweet.org
