Looking forward to building on the policies in the #AmericanRescuePlan. And I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with @32BJSEIU to do just that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

97% of Americans support universal background checks. The House passed #HR8 and @SenSchumer plans to have a vote in the Senate on this bill to save lives—it shouldn't be a partisan issue. I urge all senators to listen to the American people and vote for this common-sense measure! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The American Rescue Plan showed what’s possible when our government is able to act FOR the people. If we have to choose between protecting our democracy or sticking with antiquated anti-democratic Senate rules, the choice is clear. The filibuster must go.https://t.co/cN3uyifoWX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We know the Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure. Designating a #ChesapeakeNationalRecreationArea will highlight that reality, bring more resources, and ensure Americans can enjoy it for generations to come. Excited to announce our Working Group on this effort today! https://t.co/U84oU53HHm — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Brighter days are ahead. The President just signed the American Rescue Plan into law, sending immediate help to our families, workers, and small businesses and providing a crucial boost to our fight against COVID-19. This is a historic victory for the American people! https://t.co/NhHUarqaEw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

65% of the benefits from Trump’s tax cut went straight to the top 20% while only 1% went to the Americans most in need. The #AmericanRescuePlan does just the opposite, providing critical relief to lower-income and middle-class families to ensure they can weather this storm. https://t.co/Ejcp3SoEQI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Great news! Judge Merrick Garland has been confirmed as Attorney General. And none too soon. He will have his hands full restoring credibility to the DOJ, addressing the rise of domestic terrorism, protecting voting rights, and ensuring equal justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today is #HarrietTubman Day—a day to honor this American hero who escaped slavery and became a leading champion for freedom and justice. Every American should know her story. Today we’re reintroducing our bill to bring a statue of this Maryland daughter to the U.S. Capitol. https://t.co/4ly9Zj8ZnG — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The House has just acted and the American Rescue Plan is on its way to President Biden's desk for signature. Great news for Americans. Help is on the way! https://t.co/b4oEcF13Bx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The right to organize has brought American workers fairer wages, better benefits, and safer workplaces. Last night, the House passed the #PROAct, to help guarantee more Americans this right. The Senate must take up this bill and put power back into the hands of our workers! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Wall Street churns on high-frequency trading—putting everyday investors at risk. @BrianSchatz, @SenWarren, and I plan to introduce a bill to impose a tiny fee on Wall Street transactions to lower volatility, cut income inequality and invest the $$ in economic opportunity for all. https://t.co/lpOO4jtwmF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Tackling the climate crisis is also good economic policy. That’s why it’s good news that our clean energy accelerator and HOPE for HOMES Act are included in @EnergyCommerce’s new CLEAN Future Act. Clean energy lowers energy costs AND grows jobs when we do it right. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Venezuela has become a dangerous and failed state. Forcing Venezuelans currently residing in the U.S. to return home now could be a death sentence. Both Republicans and Democrats have called for President Biden to grant them Temporary Protected Status. Glad to see him do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Long-term unemployment is devastating to workers & our economy. The #AmericanRescuePlan extends vital UI benefits, but we must do more. I’m working with @RonWyden & @SenatorBaldwin on legislation to ensure these workers aren’t locked out of a job for good. https://t.co/yHMVVa7yAO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As we mark #InternationalWomensDay, President Biden is taking steps to reverse Trump-era policies that took us backwards in the fight for gender equality. We must #ChooseToChallenge the barriers that hold women back, today and every day. https://t.co/C0wnMRspKt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The #AmericanRescuePlan is key to winning the battle against COVID-19—deploying more vaccines, getting kids back to school more quickly & safely, and extending lifelines to those facing severe hardship. Read more about how this relief will help Marylanders:https://t.co/1juqz26Dfe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republican state legislators erecting barriers to voting are today’s equivalent of the Alabama troopers who beat John Lewis and others 56 yrs. ago. We must stop them. Biden’s EO is the first step, but we must pass #HR1 & the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. #BloodySunday — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It doesn’t get any clearer than this. Maryland is failing our Black communities. It's ranked among the worst in the nation when it comes to the share of Black residents who have been vaccinated. There’s no excuse for falling this far behind. It must change.https://t.co/Q1CshXKRsq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate just passed the American Rescue Plan. This sweeping package is exactly what we need to defeat the virus and support our working families, small businesses, and communities. The American people called for action. Today we answered that call. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Lots of coffee and a little ragged, but more determined than ever to pass this bill to defeat the pandemic and help folks get back on their feet. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The #AmericanRescuePlan contains the bold relief that our nation desperately needs. Republicans just moved to adjourn but we won’t quit on the American people. We will stay as long as it takes to get this done. https://t.co/tmcK5Jwa6C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Scammers have turned the pandemic into another way to take advantage of Americans. Today @BrianFrosh and I discussed how to avoid common scams and what the American Rescue Plan does to protect Marylanders. https://t.co/RDyntYtGGk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today marks one year since MD's 1st confirmed cases of COVID-19. Over the last year, thousands of our neighbors have lost their lives, livelihoods, and loved ones to this virus. But we’ve also worked to lift each other up. Together, we'll weather this storm and build back better. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Welcome @VP call with our Israeli partners on their successful vaccination program and importance of our scientific cooperation. Place to start is to use Israel’s excess vaccine supplies to ensure Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza have access to vaccines. https://t.co/hgHkQBPvGQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our nation must address injustice and systemic racism in all its forms. The House took a key step in the area of law enforcement by passing the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. The Senate must follow suit and also urgently address other deep racial inequities in our society. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Can't make this up. What outrages the GOP? Not domestic terrorism, extreme inequality, gun violence, or racial injustice. Nope. The GOP is “outraged” about making it easier for Americans to vote! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

With GOP lawmakers working to reduce voting accessibility and corporations pumping more money than ever into elections, it’s long past time for serious election reform. The House has done its job in passing the #ForThePeople Act today, and now the Senate must act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good to meet with @POTUS, @VP, and a bipartisan group to brainstorm how we take a quantum leap forward to beat devastating diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s. We must leverage the scientific power we’ve seen in the development of COVID-19 vaccines by experts like those at @NIH. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

MD has strong gun laws but it's not an island. Many illegal guns come from other states—bringing with them a higher death toll on our streets. Glad to see @MayorBMScott and Baltimore join with @Everytown on this new tool to save lives, and I’ll keep fighting for national reforms. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Americans need a living wage and they need it now. That’s why I’m cosponsoring @SenSanders’ amendment to add our increase of the minimum wage back to the American Rescue Plan. We will keep fighting for this at every turn until we get it done. https://t.co/hxsCd68IbH — PolitiTweet.org
