Join me today at 12:30PM as I meet with @MayorBMScott and community leaders to discuss ways to reform our emergency response systems. Too often police responses result in unnecessary escalation and tragic death. We can do better. https://t.co/CxZl8vtaU1 — PolitiTweet.org

On Monday at 6:30PM, I’m hosting a Telephone Town Hall to provide an update on the American Rescue Plan, discuss what’s next in Congress, and answer questions from participants.

Each year, on April 24th, we mark Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. The truth must always prevail and the world must never forget the over 1.5 million Armenians who were brutally murdered by the Ottoman Empire. We must learn from history, not turn away from it. — PolitiTweet.org

Over 4 million Americans have been stranded without a job for more than 6 months. In the American Jobs Plan @POTUS included the idea of subsided jobs, which is the basis of the bill I reintroduced: The Long-Term Unemployment Elimination Act. We need to fund this and get it done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thank goodness America is again taking a lead role in combatting climate change. While no nation can do it alone, each must do its part. The U.S. must start by enacting President Biden’s bold plan to cut carbon emissions by 50% by 2030 and get to net zero by 2050. #EarthDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For more than three decades, no U.S. President has recognized the Armenian genocide. This news sends a critical message that our commitment to historical reality will no longer be silenced by political convenience. Thank you @POTUS for your willingness to stand up for the truth. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our AAPI community is reeling from the pain of the increased violence and hate we’ve seen in recent months. We have a moral imperative speak up against these attacks and to take action to #StopAsianHate. Today the Senate answered this call by passing the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The House just voted to provide equal representation to the 700,000+ residents of our Nation’s Capital who have been denied votes in Congress for over 230 years. Calling upon all my colleagues who promote democracy overseas to do it right here at home. Right now! #DCStatehoodNow — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Yesterday, @POTUS made history. For the first time ever, the White House directly endorsed #DCStatehood. With the House preparing to vote this week, this is big. Onwards to 51! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A remarkable find! As we seek to place her statute in the U.S. Capitol and put her image on the $20 bill, it’s fitting that a coin led archeologists to find the site of Harriet Tubman’s home. We must not rest until every American knows of her fearless fight for freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The jury has reached a just verdict. But nothing will bring back George Floyd or all those who should still be alive. We must move urgently to defeat systemic racism in all its forms and the Senate must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. https://t.co/gaO5XpYD8J — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

To create more good-paying jobs and further sharpen our ability to compete in a rapidly changing global economy, the U.S. must stay at the forefront of innovation and technology. @RoyBlunt and I teamed up to introduce the National SEAL Act to do that.https://t.co/74z7ZxFDmf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We’re facing a climate emergency. The #GreenNewDeal will create up to 20 million good-paying union jobs and ensure that our planet is livable for generations to come. I’m proud to join @SenMarkey and @AOC in reintroducing it today. The clock is ticking—let's get this done. https://t.co/OBEUm5Qu1C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Let’s be crystal clear: The well-funded ad-campaign and outrageous attacks directed at @vanitaguptaCR and @KristenClarkeJD are part of the Republican playbook against voting rights and equal justice in our country. We cannot let this succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For years Baltimore’s Highway to Nowhere has scarred the city, dividing communities and serving as a stark example of the history of racial discrimination in the design of parts of our public infrastructure. Our new bill with @SenatorCarper and @SenCardin will help fix that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I got my steps in today! Good to join @MayorBMScott for a walk at Lake Montebello to speak with Baltimore residents. Talked about everything from baseball to the benefits of the American Rescue Plan. It’s a beautiful weekend to get out and enjoy some fresh air! https://t.co/R0Ro11FO9P — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Your race shouldn't determine your health care. Yet, far too many Black women don't have access to safe, quality reproductive care. Together, we can help end these disparities by passing the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act. #BlackMaternalHealthWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Sadly, the frequency of shootings, like the massacre in Indianapolis, is no longer shocking. What is shocking is the capacity of so many Members of Congress to express sorrow and outrage about the death toll while refusing to take common-sense measures to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our AAPI communities are reeling from the violence, hate, and vitriol that has increased dramatically over the last year. It’s up to each and every one of us to stand up and speak out. Congress must past the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, and we must work together to #StopAsianHate. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

#DCStateHood is a civil rights issue. Today @OversightDems passed a bill to make D.C. the 51st state. Alongside @SenatorCarper and @EleanorNorton I’ll continue fighting to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

CEO pay skyrocketed during the pandemic, while workers faced layoffs. The Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act would increase the tax rate on big corporations with excessive pay gaps between their CEO and average worker, raising funds to invest in working Americans. https://t.co/15GkSomMZt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This morning, I paid my respects to Capitol Police Officer William Evans who lost his life in the line of duty. He was a father, husband, brother, son, and an 18-year veteran of the Capitol Police. My heart goes out to his loved ones. https://t.co/FbiIfLNEiW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thank you to the Maryland General Assembly for a productive session, including overdue and historic reforms to our policing systems. The General Assembly overrode the Governor’s veto to set an example for the rest of the nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Not to mention Trump’s “leadership” also resulted in Iran: -Increasing its stockpile of enriched uranium 12x -Ratcheting up R&D on advanced centrifuges and restarting enrichment at Fordow -Slashing its nuclear breakout time from one year under the JCPOA to a matter of months — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Child care providers and families have been struggling—including local Head Start centers like the one I visited in Baltimore with @Call_Me_Dutch. The good news is that help is here for Maryland: $513 million for families and child care providers and $11 million for Head Start. https://t.co/lVm6atltt6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The rollout of vaccines in MD has been inadequate and inequitable so others are helping out. Stopped by Total Health Care’s new Mobile Health Unit in Baltimore made possible by private donations and the Biden Admin is ensuring they will receive vaccine directly from the feds. https://t.co/68xFcln5ai — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For years, we’ve fought to fully fund our public schools through the Keep Our PACT Act. @POTUS’s new budget plan brings us closer than ever—with a historic investment to ensure opportunity for all students regardless of their zip code and resources to expand community schools. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The gun violence epidemic is tearing apart communities. We need to act. The measures @POTUS announced today are an important first step. Congress must follow with more. https://t.co/35G4hrwg2M — PolitiTweet.org
