This is a sad night for the people of Hyattsville and all of us who worked with Mayor Ward. Kevin believed in his city and was guided by an unwavering commitment to helping others. My thoughts are with his family and all of Hyattsville tonight. — PolitiTweet.org

Joined ATU transit workers today to discuss my Transit Worker & Pedestrian Protection Act, which was incl. in the #InfrastructureBill. Transit workers are on the front lines moving people around & have faced an increase in assaults. We need to protect them. Help is on the way. https://t.co/odjetoOZlP — PolitiTweet.org

Justice Breyer has been a champion of equal justice under the law. I’m thankful for his service & his deep understanding of our Constitution & the rights it protects. I’m ready to get to work to confirm a justice who will continue to uphold these core values for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Heartbreaking loss. These firefighters & their families are in our thoughts. They made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our community & will never be forgotten. Baltimore’s hearts are heavy tonight for the loss of these 3 brave heroes, as we keep praying for the 4th to recover. — PolitiTweet.org

No Marylander should have to live in a place where toxins are making them sick. That’s why I was glad to join @SecFudge to announce new federal $$ for Baltimore’s @HealthyHousing Initiative at the home of Ms. Gaddis, whose house is now a healthy place because of this program. https://t.co/mqWE6T5uzI — PolitiTweet.org

It’s official! The #NASAWebb Telescope has completed its 1 million-mile journey to its new home in space! So proud of the work by @SpaceTelescope in Baltimore to get it there as well as the efforts of @NASAGoddard & the 2,000 MDers who worked on building it! #unfoldtheuniverse — PolitiTweet.org

Glad to see @POTUS & @USOPM lead by example in raising the #MinimumWage for federal employees to $15/hour – impacting over 60k workers – including many in MD. We’ll keep fighting to establish this as a minimum wage for all Americans. https://t.co/XsuRjh2VI8 — PolitiTweet.org

49 yrs after #RoeVWade the fight for reproductive freedom goes on. The Trump/McConnell-packed SCOTUS is poised to overturn Roe as the GOP cheers them on. That’s why Congress must #PassWHPA & protect the right of every woman to a safe, legal abortion. https://t.co/dEkL92uCqT — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
This SCOTUS decision on the eve of the #RoeVWade anniversary ignores medical providers' needs & women's reproductive rights. We must keep fighting back against GOP lawmakers like those in Texas to protect abortion providers & ensure equal access to care. — PolitiTweet.org

365 days ago @POTUS was sworn in as our Capitol was still on lockdown & our nation in shock We got to work & passed the #AmericanRescuePlan, #Infrastructure modernization law, & more A historic recovery is now underway. There's more work to do – but we've come a long, long way — PolitiTweet.org

No Marylander should have to worry about access to clean water. That’s why nearly $400 million in federal support is on the way for water infrastructure upgrades in Baltimore to help deliver clean drinking water to homes & businesses across the city. https://t.co/Q5jvOHiaCy — PolitiTweet.org

We will not stop fighting until we guarantee equal access to the ballot box for every American. Tonight every Democrat was in support of that legislation and every Republican opposed. I am disappointed that the undemocratic filibuster thwarted the effort, but we will not give up. https://t.co/v6m6Y0qLYq — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Since 1974 there's been 1 major exception to filibuster's 60-vote rule: the Reconciliation Process. And it exposes this absurdity. It allowed for passage of Trump's Tax Law, American Rescue Plan, & Affordable Care Act. But it won't allow us to pass bills to protect our democracy! https://t.co/bgjXpBLiL0 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
How it looks in the context of the #FreedomtoVoteAct? IN FAVOR: A duly elected President who won over 80 million votes; a majority of House of Reps, & 50 Senators representing 62% of the American people OPPOSED: a minority of Senators representing a minority of the country. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
So where did the current Senate Rule come from? It is a total invention of Senators that empowers a minority of Senators by disempowering the overwhelming majority of the American people. That’s what it is. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
The Senate can waive the filibuster rules to pass major policies under reconciliation, like the Trump Tax Scam in 2017. And yet we can’t waive the filibuster to protect the right to vote. How does that make sense? It doesn’t. https://t.co/BuTu7QwG0t — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Time & again the Jan 6th Cmtee mission to get to the bottom of the assault on our Capitol has been upheld by our courts. This decision underscores just that. Our democracy is at stake & false claims of exec privilege cannot get in the way of delivering the American ppl the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Under our current rules, 41 Senators representing 11% of the American people can block the vote of 50 senators representing 80% of the country. Think about that… and they don’t even have to show up to do it. How crazy is that? — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
What about the power of the minority, you ask? We already protect the power of the minority inherently in the Senate by electing 2 Senators from each state – despite their population. Wyoming (pop. 578,000) and California (pop. 39 M) both have equal influence in the U.S. Senate. https://t.co/NGhmPsZeJm — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Don’t be fooled: the filibuster is NOWHERE to be found in our Constitution. But you know what is? Clear rules for when a 2/3 vote is required. The Founders specified those cases where a supermajority vote is required. It doesn't apply to passing bills like the #FreedomToVoteAct. https://t.co/wEeuZEqeVR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Let’s talk abt the hypocrisy of the GOP bringing up what the “Founders intended.” The Founders never intended for 41 Senators – a minority – to have power to block the will of 59 Senators – the majority – on legislation. We’ve got it in writing from Madison & Hamilton themselves. https://t.co/nhspsMUSTi — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Sen. McConnell just cited James Madison to defend the rule allowing 41 of 100 senators to stop a majority from voting on the #FreedomtoVoteAct. He should read these words by Madison in Federalist 58, opposing such provisions: https://t.co/OayTlrAsZN — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
The claim that the filibuster rule promotes bipartisanship flies in the face of the reality we witness every day. In fact, the filibuster has become a partisan political weapon & each day we maintain this undemocratic rule we prevent our democracy from working as it was intended. https://t.co/rVE8dTAcvp — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
All of us prefer to find common ground to meet our challenges when we can. But let's not kid ourselves about the ability of the 60 vote filibuster requirement to promote bipartisanship. The rule is now used for obstruction not cooperation. https://t.co/oxIj9iOMhP — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Since the attack on our Capitol the Big Lie has not died, instead, it has metastasized. To protect our democracy, we must step up & pass votings rts legislation & to do that we’ve got to amend the #filibuster. I’m speaking NOW on this urgent call to action https://t.co/zKmdAOcn6k — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen
Dr. King's 'faith in action' was a beacon of hope and strength during times of adversity. He moved us toward justice, reminding us that “a right delayed is a right denied.” His legacy guides us again today, as we fight to protect the vote and preserve our democracy. #MLKDay https://t.co/OGSQ0NbbX4 — PolitiTweet.org
