Met with UAE leadership to exchange views and discuss our security partnership & ways to expand trade & investment. Also welcomed the Abraham Accords & removal of UAE forces from Yemen and noted the positive role they could play in resuming the JCPOA & reducing regional conflict. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Visited our troops at Al Dhafra Air Base to thank them for their service. They not only play a vital security role in the region, but will be facilitating the safe withdrawal of US forces from Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We began our trip in the UAE, which will be the site of the Dubai World Expo. In a sign for a more hopeful world, they are hosting pavilions from friends and foes alike. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We visited the Um Rakuba refugee camp to listen to the plight of people fleeing the Tigray Region of Ethiopia. Grateful to @USAID, @WFPUSA and @Refugees for their humanitarian efforts. The Biden Admin is doing everything it can to end the fighting in Ethiopia & resolve disputes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Sudan is now home to over 3.6 million refugees and displaced people as a result of years of conflicts. Most recently there has been an influx of over 60,000 refugees fleeing the conflict in Ethiopia. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The new PM, Cabinet, & Sovereign Council are working diligently to move from authoritarian rule to rule of law and separation of religion & state. Important that the Armed Forces be placed under single command & that they proceed as planned to full civilian control of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The US has a key role to play in supporting Sudan’s journey from dictatorship toward democracy. The ousting of Bashir in the peaceful revolution about 2 years ago brings fresh hope and the US should be a full partner with the Sudanese people as they seek a better future. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Over the last few days, I traveled to Sudan and the UAE with @ChrisCoons as part of an official trip to support the transition to democracy in Sudan, promote relief to refugees of the conflict in Ethiopia, and meet with UAE leadership on issues of mutual interest and concern. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Millions of Americans are drowning in student debt. That’s why I support canceling up to $50,000 in student debt targeted to those who need this help most. And why I’m glad @POTUS selected @RichCordray to head up efforts to tackle this crisis. He's the right person for the job. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mitch McConnell: Democrats won’t work with us. Also Mitch McConnell: 100 percent of my focus is on stopping this new administration. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The FBI needs a new HQ that meets its operational and security needs. We were close to bringing it to Maryland before Trump stopped the plan, reportedly to protect his interests in the DC Trump Hotel. We are now working to get our plan back on track. https://t.co/aKkXmqo7q0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Teachers like Wyatt Oroke have adapted like never before to reach their students during the pandemic. We must do everything in our power to aid their efforts to help our children succeed, including fully funding Title I and IDEA. #TeacherAppreciationDay https://t.co/hp72dm2eXj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland led the way in banning bump stocks after the tragedy in Las Vegas 4 years ago. The Supreme Court made the right decision in declining to take up the challenge to MD’s ban – now we must follow up with comprehensive action in Congress to stop the gun violence epidemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The @BrennanCenter has identified 300+ bills introduced in state legislatures this year to make it harder for people to vote. The #ForThePeopleAct will set a national standard to protect voting and eliminate the secret $ polluting our elections. Let’s get it passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The ATF works for the American people; not the gun lobby. The Senate needs to act expeditiously to confirm @POTUS's nominee to lead ATF so we can move forward with plans to modernize this crucial agency and address the epidemic of gun violence in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A free press is the best protection against tyranny. On #WorldPressFreedomDay let’s stand in solidarity with those, at home and abroad, who report the facts. No one should be persecuted – or worse – for telling the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thank you @VP Harris for visiting with us in Baltimore on your 100 day anniversary and for your message to keep up the push for full and equitable COVID vaccination distribution.   We still have work to do. Walk up, get vaxxed Maryland! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Been talking to my constituents about additional steps the U.S. can take to help India with its skyrocketing rates of COVID-19. Just got off a call to India organized by Sanjay Govil. Will be working with Biden Administration to develop a strategy to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I stand in solidarity with the #TPS recipients and activists who are hunger-striking to push Congress to pass the #SECUREAct. We will keep fighting to provide permanent protections for TPS recipients, like the Morales family, who are part of our community.https://t.co/nRPirMcwSp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We have made critical progress in 100 days but still have work to do. That work has to happen at the federal, state, and local level—but the most important work is being done by those on the frontlines like the folks we met in Baltimore with @VP today. https://t.co/hXGbBSUW2z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

220+ million shots in arms. 160+ million relief checks. And we’re only 100 days in. There’s much more work to be done, including ramping up our efforts to equitably distribute the vaccine in Maryland. Discussing that and more with @VP and Team Maryland: https://t.co/KN86TkqerZ — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, we witnessed @VP and @SpeakerPelosi make history and today, we are honored to welcome our incredible VP to Charm City! We’ll be touring the M&T Bank Stadium Mass Vaccination Site in Baltimore and discussing the progress in the first 100 days. https://t.co/EkAvev5gPg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

From maintenance to food service workers, federal contractor employees help keep our government running. Glad @POTUS is ensuring that these essential workers are paid at least $15 an hour. We will keep fighting to increase the minimum wage for all workers.https://t.co/skMwcTWD6T — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It was good to hear @POTUS address the country with a calm confidence but steely resolve. He set forth a real, detailed plan for America to win the future. He did not sugarcoat the challenges, but called upon all of us to meet the moment. Hope all my colleagues were listening. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trillions in tax revenue go uncollected because of those big corporations and others who don’t pay what is owed. More IRS funding will crack down on cheats and bring in $ to invest in workers. Glad @POTUS supports this and it’ll be the focus of my first hearing as Chair of FSGG. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is big. The Senate just voted to reverse Trump’s elimination of methane emissions standards that are vital to our efforts to tackle the climate emergency. This move alone will help curb climate change in just a year as we work towards bigger and broader action. #CutMethane — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Tackling climate change is not just an urgent challenge—it’s also an opportunity. Investing in the National Climate Bank @SenMarkey and I have proposed would create 4 million jobs in just 4 years. I testified before @EPWCmte about the need for the Senate to act on our bill. https://t.co/2xL0Ku6HPF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Award-winning journalist and gifted Maryland chronicler, C. Fraser Smith was one of a kind. For half a century, he brilliantly told our stories, deciphered our politics, and examined our history. He represented journalism at its finest and will be missed. https://t.co/X30g6N27Kd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If we move quickly to cut methane emissions, we could slow the Earth’s warming by 30%—making a huge impact in our fight against climate change. The Senate must act now to #CutMethane. https://t.co/S9CbtntbJ6 — PolitiTweet.org
