Food shortages in households w/ kids have dropped by 42% as a result of the financial relief provided through the American Rescue Plan. We can already see our nation building back better in bold new ways. We can’t let up in our pursuit of an economy that brings opportunity to all https://t.co/apNK1ARkuH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This decision makes it all the more important that we pass legislation to protect #TPS holders -- many of whom have fled danger to build better lives here. Congress must work to fix our immigration system and pass the SECURE Act– to provide TPS holders with a path to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Earth’s CO2 has hit its highest level in 4.5 MILLION years. We need to stop burning up the planet. Without immediate, bold action the consequences for all of us and future generations are dire. The U.S. must lead and Congress must pass the American Jobs Plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For too long survivors of sexual assault in our military have been denied justice. We must change that. That’s why I’m a cosponsor of the bipartisan Military Justice Improvement and Increasing Prevention Act. It deserves a full floor vote, now. #PassMJIIPA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today we remember the heroes who served our nation and the world on June 6, 1944 forever changing the course of history with their landing in Normandy. We must never forget the sacrifice of the brave souls who stopped the spread of global fascism. https://t.co/9RWowGl2ZV — PolitiTweet.org

It’s past time big multinational corporations paid their fair share in taxes. This is an important step towards making that happen. Next step: fixing the damage from the 2017 GOP Tax Scam here at home. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Yesterday in Ellicott City – alongside @HoCoGovExec -- & Lutherville I listened to business owners share their COVID-19 experiences. I was glad to hear fed support has made all the difference for these MD small businesses, & I’ll keep working to see our recovery through. https://t.co/39BcHh3DBJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Every day 100+ Americans are lost to gun violence. We must never become numb to this senseless carnage. Let’s mobilize to pass HR 8 and other measures to save lives #NationalGunViolenceAwarenessDay https://t.co/8eSESGCMf2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate says it’s a “democratic” institution. So how is it that on a vote of 59 to 0, the ZERO wins? That’s the ridiculous result of the filibuster. Forty of 100 senators can block the will of the majority & they don’t even have to show up. It must go #EndTheFilibuster — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For years, we pushed Trump to hold Huawei and other foreign companies accountable for the threats they pose to our national security. I’m glad to see President Biden expand these common-sense measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As we mark the 32nd anniversary of the crackdown on Tiananmen Square, the PRC’s efforts to crush democracy in #HongKong are all the more despicable. I'll keep speaking out for the people of Hong Kong & pressing for sanctions on those responsible through our Hong Kong Autonomy Act — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is the right move. The US now has a surplus of vaccines and we should help others in desperate need. It’s not only the right thing to do, it will also protect Americans from virus mutations. To fight this global pandemic, we need a global response. Now is the time to go big. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Texas Governor Abbott likes to talk tough but he is clearly scared of Texas voters. Why else would he go to such lengths to erect barriers to the ballot box? He and his comrade Mike Flynn take their lessons from coup leaders in places like Myanmar, not from our Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As we mark the Tulsa Race Massacre, today's actions by @POTUS begin to remedy deep-rooted policies that have led to a persistent racial wealth gap in this country — from housing discrimination to federal contracting. Today marks an important step on a long journey. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge destroys the ecosystem, heats the planet, and despoils lands that belong to the public. Glad to see @POTUS reverse this terrible decision made by Trump and his gang of climate change deniers on their way out door. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

On Memorial Day we honor those who gave what Lincoln described as the “last full measure of devotion” to our country. We must never forget their sacrifice, and that of their loved ones, as we also express our gratitude to those who serve in uniform today. https://t.co/CcAsZDo0CM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This week marks 100 years since the Tulsa Race Massacre. The first step in our unfinished journey to heal — and to advance social justice and racial equity — is to teach, remember, and directly confront the painful truths of our past. #TulsaRaceMassacre https://t.co/6LzPfXDEPC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Now is the time to invest boldly in our families, workforce, and our future. @POTUS’s budget is a blueprint to expand opportunity & build an inclusive economy w/ more shared prosperity. I've fought for many of the provisions in this plan & won't let up until we see them through. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

.@SenToomey & I met w/ Fred & Cindy Warmbier, whose son Otto died in 2017 after being detained & tortured by North Korea. Our 2019 BRINK Act has imposed penalties on firms doing business w/ N. Korea, & we discussed new ways to punish the regime for gross human rights violations. https://t.co/RNeLGbnINJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Disgusted. Americans deserve the full truth about Jan 6th. This bipartisan commission is the way to get that – and help prevent another attack on our democracy. But the GOP just filibustered it for purely political purposes. I’m disgusted – no other way to put it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Great to see our new Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth confirmed. @cwormuth is a dedicated public servant and true leader – and a Terp to boot! It’s been wonderful to watch her service to our country advance over the years to this important appointment today. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This must end. @JudiciaryDems held a hearing today with @POTUS’s nominee to head ATF, David Chipman. He understands the gun violence epidemic and knows what we must do to stop it. This shouldn’t be partisan – we need to vote him in at once & pass HR 8 to save lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Strongly urge all my GOP Senate colleagues to listen to the mother of fallen Capitol Hill Police Officer, Brian Sicknick, who protected our democracy on Jan. 6th. Our Capitol Police and their loved ones deserve the whole truth about what happened that day, as does the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today is #AfricaDay, which honors the formation of the present-day @_AfricanUnion. As Chairman of the @SFRCdems Subcommittee on Africa & Global Health Policy, I'm committed to working together to defeat COVID-19, strengthen US-Africa relations, & build a brighter future for all. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Over 685,000 Americans living in our nation’s capital are subject to taxation without voting representation – going against one of the fundamental principles of our democracy. This is unacceptable. I’m speaking on the Senate floor to demand #DCStatehoodNow https://t.co/YzeY4vrtOz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After 4 years of Trump, it's more critical than ever to have a strong, experienced leader at the helm of DOJ's Civil Rights Division to protect fundamental rights, including the right to vote. I'm proud to #ConfirmClarke today. She's a great choice to lead our fight for justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

One year ago George Floyd spoke his last words: I can’t breathe. He should be alive and with his family today. As his daughter said, “Daddy changed the world.” He did. We must heed her words and pass the #GeorgeFloydJusticeInPolicingAct — and root out racism in all its forms. https://t.co/VpDW3a5hIk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Grateful to our @USNationalGuard — and especially for those from the @MDNG — who deployed to the U.S. Capitol to protect our democracy. Thank you and your families for the sacrifices you make for our country! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Nothing can justify these despicable, hateful attacks. We must stand united against anti-Semitism and hate in all its ugly forms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Honestly confronting the history of lynching, racism, and racial violence in our country is vital to building a just future. We must urgently work to root out racism in all its forms and bend the arc of justice further and faster. — PolitiTweet.org
