Bloody Sunday & the courage of activists led to the signing of the #VotingRightsAct 56 years ago today. Now our democracy is under attack across the country. We must save it and cannot rest until we pass the #ForThePeopleAct & the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good news here. The #AmericanRescuePlan is delivering results. But we can’t stop now. Returning to the pre-pandemic status quo isn’t enough. We must adopt the full Build Back BETTER agenda so our economy works for EVERY American, not just the wealthy few. https://t.co/Hwp8Z0ka5S — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Climate change isn’t waiting for us to catch up. @POTUS’s goal to ensure 1/2 of new cars are electric or hybrids by 2030 – with support from US automakers – is key to reducing pollution & securing a healthier future. This is an important step to fight against climate change. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today we lost a great American & fearless champion for workers. In Richard Trumka’s decades of unmatched leadership at the @AFLCIO he never wavered in his fight to strengthen the union movement. We must carry on his work with the same passion and determination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Join me on the Senate floor as I discuss the need for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan as one part of the Build Back Better agenda. It’s not enough to simply return to the pre-pandemic status quo. We must build an economy that works for everyone. https://t.co/EYx6EgOaJ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

On the 1-yr anniversary of the Beirut blast, Lebanon faces a deepening crisis w/ regional impact. I support @POTUS’s pledge today of humanitarian aid. We must also demand accountability, incl. joining EU sanctions agnst ANY member of political elite obstructing democratic reforms — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is a 9-1-1 moment for the future of our democracy. We must fight 24/7 to defeat the attacks on free and fair elections across the country. The only way to end the filibuster and move forward is to pass the #ForThePeopleAct NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thanks to @SenSherrodBrown for holding this critical hearing. I look forward to continuing to work w/ you & @SenateBanking to put an end to abusive practices that harm consumers. Hardworking folks living paycheck to paycheck shouldn’t be victimized by these schemes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Taxpayers should not have to foot the entire bill to mitigate the harm of climate change. Big carbon polluters should be required to use some of their profits to help pay to clean up the mess & the harm they have caused. The #PolluterPays Climate Fund Act will make that happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Major oil companies make billions in profits each year & have received billions in tax breaks. It’s time they helped foot the bill to address the harm they have caused. The Polluter Pays Climate Fund Act will ensure #PollutersPay. The time is now for action! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our democracy was under attack on 1/6 & it remains so in state legislatures that are erecting barriers to the ballot box. We cannot allow that to stand. Joined TX & other state lawmakers to call for an end to the filibuster & urgent passage of the #ForThePeopleAct. #RecessCanWait https://t.co/nMLd5dX4GY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

MD has lost a lion for justice. Bishop Miles not only pastored his church, but the whole community. In founding BUILD, he inspired us to fight harder for those in need. I was honored to work w/ him on health care, affordable housing & preventing teen tobacco use. He’ll be missed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Glad to see @POTUS take this action. Federal, state, and local governments also need to act with urgency to get the $46.5B in Emergency Rental Assistance to eligible tenants so they can pay rent and landlords can get paid. This process has been inexcusably slow. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We have made enormous progress fighting this pandemic, but we can't afford to stop now. If you know someone who has not been vaccinated yet, please take a moment to urge them to do so today. We can only beat COVID-19 if we do it together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Transit workers put themselves at risk serving on the front lines throughout this pandemic. I pushed with @ATUComm to include safety provisions in the bipartisan infrastructure bill so we can better protect them. Good news, they are included. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I’m proud to announce with @SenatorCardin that we’ve successfully fought to include the option for future federal funding for the project in the #BipartisanInfrastructureDeal. We’ll keep pushing the state to reverse course & bring this essential project to Maryland. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Bringing the Red Line to Baltimore had the potential to change local transportation for residents while – boosting economic opportunity for yrs to come. But, despite our work to secure $900M in fed funding for this project, Gov. Hogan pulled the plug. We’re not ready to give up. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After working thru the weekend w/ my colleagues I’m glad the bipartisan infrastructure deal has been released. It has some big wins we fought to secure for MD. This is an important 1st step, but there’s more to do to fulfill the promises of the #BuildBackBetter agenda. Read more: https://t.co/5PyXEXF24P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congratulations to MD’s own @katieledecky on her FOUR Olympic medals from Tokyo & on a new record for more individual Olympic gold medals than any female swimmer in history! It's been a while since we met after the London games, but we've always known you'd keep breaking records. https://t.co/U0feoD9KVT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In the meantime, state & local officials should attend every eviction proceeding in their jurisdictions & provide rent assistance on the spot to eligible tenants. It’s insane that available funds aren’t being quickly deployed to keep families from being thrown onto the streets. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Totally unacceptable that only a tiny share of the $46.5B COVID-19 emergency rent payments we passed have been used to help keep tenants in their homes. Feds/states/locals must cut the red tape & get the $ out so tenants can stay in their homes & landlords can pay their own bills — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Looking forward to Rep. Stefanik's support for our plan to expand Medicare to more ppl & add hearing, dental, & vision coverage. For yrs GOP tried to block creation of Medicare & Medicaid by fear mongering. Then they tried to voucherize one & cut the other. Thankfully they failed — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Excellent news for our Chesapeake Bay clean-up efforts. @SenatorCardin and I worked to secure additional resources in the bipartisan infrastructure bill, and I’m pleased to report it includes $238 million to help #SaveTheBay! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The rule of law in action. You can run, but you should not be able to hide from accountability — especially when your company and its Chief Financial Officer are under criminal indictment for corrupt business dealings. Let justice prevail. https://t.co/K4p5XFH1lp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Spoken like a true autocrat. Trump says just call it corrupt and "leave the rest to me". Vladimir Putin couldn't have said it any better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Great to join @SecretaryPete at @portofbalt yesterday to announce the bipartisan infrastructure bill’s vital investments, including $17B for American ports. Our Port generates 15K good paying direct jobs — with room to grow — and is vital to our global competitiveness. https://t.co/SjKv1lIsag — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Carl Levin’s voice was not the loudest in the room, but usually the wisest. He did not seek the limelight, only the truth. He was a fierce defender of working people & their right to organize and our country is stronger because of his service. My heart goes out to his family. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

NEWS: While our democracy was under attack on 1/6 the @CapitolPolice, @MDNG, and @DCPoliceDept stepped up to protect it. Now our country needs to be there for them. That’s why a few hrs ago the Senate passed — followed by the House — the emergency support bill. — PolitiTweet.org
