Today we lost an American hero, a Tuskegee Airman who flew a record # of combat missions from WWII to Vietnam. I had the honor to get to know Charles McGee as I fought to mark his service w/ a promotion to Brig. General, which we secured in 2020. We will never forget his service. https://t.co/xpusexvPRG — PolitiTweet.org

Thankful that the congregants of Beth Israel Synagogue in Colleyville, TX are safe. As we see a rise in hate crimes across this country targeting communities with increased violence, we must call out and combat antisemitism and hate in all its ugly forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Proud to join leaders of MD's great HBCUs, @DepSecGraves, @MayorBMScott, & others in Baltimore today to celebrate #MLK and focus attention on important progress we are making with the help of the #AmericanRescuePlan to close the #DigitalDivide and bring equity to our communities. — PolitiTweet.org

As we face a range of economic challenges — from COVID-19, to the need to create more shared prosperity, to climate change — we need strong leadership at the Fed. That’s why I’m glad to see @POTUS nominate Sarah Bloom Raskin, Lisa Cook, and Philip Jefferson. — PolitiTweet.org

Step 1: Make student loan companies pay for their predatory loan practices.12,000+ MDers will get relief worth over $34 mil. Step 2: Tackle the #StudentLoan crisis & make college more affordable so that millions aren’t burdened by debt for years to come. https://t.co/ci1br0XgA9 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Sachs loved our state and leaves a long legacy of service to Maryland & the law – as Maryland's Attorney General, U.S. Attorney, and a private citizen. Over the years I valued Steve's counsel, his commitment to our democratic system, and his friendship. His legacy lives on. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We knew the #AmericanRescuePlan would help workers and small businesses stay afloat during the pandemic. But just how big of an impact did it have on our economy? Today @FederalReserve Chair Powell confirmed it helped bring down unemployment a whole YEAR earlier than predicted. https://t.co/BGkECOfgYj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Millions are exploited by human trafficking & over the past decade, the # of children among them has tripled. We must work to root out this scourge on humanity & to connect survivors w/ the services they need – like the @UMDSafeCenter is doing in MD. #HumanTraffickingAwarenessDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As @POTUS laid out: our democracy faces a turning point, & the next few days are critical. We’ve got to stand up for the right to vote. We can’t let the filibuster stop us. We must pass the #FreedomToVote & #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct. I urge my colleagues to heed this call. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our democracy hangs in the balance. It’s time for the Senate to bring up the #FreedomToVoteAct and the #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct. We must do whatever it takes to stop the GOP obstruction of these bills and protect Americans’ right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our seniors shouldn’t face higher costs during this pandemic. That’s why I’m glad to see @SecBecerra direct CMS to reconsider Medicare part B rates, as we urged them to do.     We’ll keep pushing forward on #BuildBackBetter to lower costs on drug prices, home care, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Officer Keona Holley made the ultimate sacrifice for our community. Today, I joined hundreds of fellow Marylanders to express my condolences and pay respects to her beloved mother, Ms. Karen Eaddy, and her family. We discussed how we must work together to end the violence. https://t.co/nCW1RjYntG — PolitiTweet.org

This is what historic job growth looks like. It is a testament to the determination of the American people & the important boost from the passage of the #AmericanRescuePlan. Much more work ahead. (📊source: Axios) https://t.co/oRUdLT0eiE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Forever grateful to Officer Eugene Goodman & all those from the Capitol Police, DC Metro Police & Natl Guard who risked their lives to enable us to complete the election certification. Some made the ultimate sacrifice. We have a duty to them & the country to secure our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As the Big Lie has spread Senate Rs are determined to prevent axn to protect our democracy, using the filibuster to block debate on the #FreedomToVoteAct while GOP-run states erect barriers to the ballot box. We still have a chance to uphold our democracy but the clock is ticking — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

One year ago, after the violent attack, when we returned to the Capitol to finish the election count, I thought most understood the gravity of what our country had experienced. But that was not to be. Today not ONE GOP Senator is willing to act w/ us to ensure the right to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A year ago we witnessed an assault on our democracy, fueled by Trump’s Big Lie. That lie continues to metastasize and endanger our country. Today I’m speaking in the Senate abt horror & heroes of that day, & what we must do to secure our democracy. Watch: https://t.co/30fhTSu1Qp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is a solemn day for America. My 93-year-old mother-in-law, who grew up under occupation during WW2 in Greece, called at 8 am to say "I can't believe he got away with it. How is that possible?" Those involved in the planning & execution of 1/6 must be held accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

No American should face financial ruin from surprise medical bills. That's why I worked to pass the #NoSurprisesAct – which went into effect Jan 1 & will help protect MDers from surprise medical billing. This is 1 impt step in our fight for better, more affordable health care. https://t.co/ytlsnxy29P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We’re on the road to recovery. The fight isn’t over – and we’ve got to keep working together to combat omicron – but our nation is resilient. With the actions we’ve taken – from CARES to the #AmericanRescuePlan – our economy will weather this storm. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Since its earliest days Senate was intended to be a body w/vigorous debate, where ultimately a majority vote prevailed. Current rules result in little debate & allow a minority to block the people's will. It’s time to reform the rules, protect our democracy & make the Senate work — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As we approach the Jan. 6th anniversary of the infamous attack on our democracy, this tells us exactly where Trump wants to take America. He wants the U.S. to follow the authoritarian model pursued by Hungary. America must not let him take us there. https://t.co/gPkBeF1Y5u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Let’s vote. It’s time to reform the rules and do everything possible to protect our democracy. #EndTheFilibuster — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Wishing everyone a year of progress, healing & community -- that advances our common humanity, raises empathy over apathy, hope over despair, & solutions over gridlock. Happy 2022! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The word “fighter” is overused in politics. Not when it came to Harry Reid. A scrappy boxer, he rose from humble roots to become the leader of the Senate, where he fought for the underdog, for decency & fairness. He didn’t stand on ceremony & kept his word. That’s Harry. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Make no mistake – our democracy continues to be endangered by the “Big Lie.” We’ve got to keep working to bring the people the truth, & we’ve got to pass the #FreedomtoVoteAct & #JohnLewisVotingRightsAct to protect voting rights from these constant attacks https://t.co/nP0OCGYyTZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Archbishop Tutu was an unshakable force in speaking truth to power in the name of civil and human rights. He was a trailblazing leader in the fight to end apartheid in South Africa, and we will never abandon his lifelong mission of a better, more just world for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We have liftoff! 🚀 The @NASAWebb telescope has launched!   This is the next leap forward in space exploration & innovation, & I’ve been proud to support the hard work of  @NASAGoddard, their partners & the 2,000+ MDers who helped make this vision a reality. #UnfoldTheUniverse — PolitiTweet.org
