The pandemic's economic fallout has hit women particularly hard. Nearly 2.4 million women have left the workforce since February 2020. As we mark #WomensHistoryMonth, it’s incumbent on us to win the fight for gender equality—in the workplace and everywhere.https://t.co/SWCkQwbjpT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The numbers don’t lie. Communities of color simply do not have equitable access to vaccines in Maryland right now. We must change that. Tune in to our roundtable today to discuss how the state can tackle these inequities. https://t.co/RCuqiHWYAh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Gun violence has plagued too many families in Maryland and across the country. Universal background checks will save lives. Our bill is a common-sense, effective way to keep weapons out of dangerous hands. It’s time to get it done. https://t.co/BgwbWdXfcT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Frank B. Coakley was a great Marylander and a pillar of Baltimore. After founding @IPT1963 at Morgan State, he built an illustrious career in community lending & fought his whole life for civil rights. My thoughts are with his family & all his loved ones. https://t.co/snqlrfTfwh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is an ominous sign that the Supreme Court will not stand up to defend voting rights and makes the passage of the For the People Act (#HR1) an even more urgent priority. https://t.co/NTeDJCwQdY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The U.S. must not sit on its hands as Putin attempts to murder his opposition and crush voices for democracy. Trump did nothing, but glad to see @POTUS take these steps in response to actions against @navalny and those seeking greater freedoms. https://t.co/m7mmPMo15g — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

60 years ago, JFK established the @PeaceCorps. Since then, more than 235,000 Americans have served in over 140 countries. Our world has changed dramatically, but the Peace Corps' vision of volunteerism and global community remains vital and necessary today. #PeaceCorpsWeek — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Here we go again. A right-wing group—100% funded by dark money—is attacking Biden's top DOJ nominees. What are they worried about? Their stellar records in advancing justice and civil rights? We need to get dark money out of politics now! https://t.co/UFx807SBWF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Disabled veterans deserve full retirement benefits. Our bill—named after its fiercest advocate, the late Major Richard Star—would help ensure that more than 42,000 combat-injured veterans get the compensation they’ve earned. https://t.co/6gymVJyfVE — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A year ago Trump called COVID-19 a “hoax.” Then came his Big Lie and the mob attacks on January 6th. Now he is making up for lost time, breaking even his previous records for number of lies per minute. Scary part is so many Republican senators continue to cower to him. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Biden Administration must act quickly to use maximum authorities in the bipartisan #HongKong Autonomy Act, enacted last July, to punish officials involved in China’s continuing crackdown on freedom and democracy there. https://t.co/DcSGP0Pf9u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After years of pushing, the SEC is moving to focus on the financial risks of climate change. We have to use all levers to #ActOnClimate, & investors should have info on how corporations contribute to climate change—and be able to choose less risky options. https://t.co/uh6d79qA61 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Providing Americans access to fast and reliable internet at home can’t wait. After fighting to include this provision in the last COVID relief package, I’m glad to see the FCC act quickly to help families get online. https://t.co/AgSyoikUUD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Americans should not be robbed of a living wage by archaic Senate rules and procedures—including the filibuster. We must increase the minimum wage, and I’ll keep pushing until we get it done. https://t.co/ymfS056bux — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It's now official: MBS ordered the murderous operation against Jamal Khashogghi. Those who implemented this order can be sanctioned, but that won't address the full need for accountability—or prevent this from happening again. We cannot go back to business as usual. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I discussed with @JohnBKing & @NFLTE82 how #CommunitySchools address students’ needs both inside & outside the classroom to set them up for success. That’s why I teamed up with @SenSherrodBrown & @SenGillibrand to reintroduce the #FSCSExpansionAct to invest in community schools. https://t.co/1iSpZtiEuR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our new Energy Secretary @SecGranholm gets that combatting the climate crisis is also an opportunity to create millions of American jobs and is ready to lead our energy sector in making this goal a reality. Glad to vote in support of her nomination today. https://t.co/2oJ6zCudLK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Marylander Cynthia Murray puts in 32 hours a week at the Walmart she’s worked at for 20+ years. She makes less than $15 an hour and struggles to make ends meet. While our state’s minimum wage will gradually increase to $15, that’s not the case elsewhere. It’s time to act. https://t.co/bqEgcIHlrs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Special interests are infecting our democracy, disempowering voters and leaving them in the dark. The public has a right to know who is paying billions to influence their vote. We passed the #DISCLOSE Act in the House years ago, but McConnell blocked it. Time to get this done! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Big news: The House just passed the #EqualityAct. This bill is a critical step toward finally enshrining protections for LGBTQ Americans in federal law. Let’s get this passed in the Senate and over to @POTUS to be signed into law! https://t.co/gqyGESwKd2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The truth is finally coming out on the Saudi government’s assassination of U.S. resident and journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. In Trump’s America you could literally get away with murder in return for presidential flattery. Thankfully we are turning the page on that dark time. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Bringing new leaders onto the Board of Governors is a step in the right direction. Next step must be to get rid of Louis DeJoy. I look forward to confirming these qualified nominees so they can help restore the timely delivery of Americans’ mail. https://t.co/eiT8jrRWIO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our public education system has faced underinvestment for decades, exacerbating inequities. As we mark #BlackHistoryMonth and #PublicSchoolWeek, I’ll be answering questions from Baltimore student, Jemira Queen, alongside @JohnBKing and @NFLTE82 about this. https://t.co/YdzGdRTszf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Those attacking Haaland, Becerra, and Tanden didn't blink an eye at Trump picks like Tom "Private Planes" Price; Andrew "King of the Coal Lobby" Wheeler; Ryan "What-Montana-Land-Deal" Zinke —and the list goes on. What is it about qualified appointees that scares them? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Our campaign finance system is broken. Special interests pour millions into our elections, stifling the people's voice. @SenatorLujan, @RepDavidEPrice, @RepDerekKilmer and I are introducing bills to empower small-dollar donors and ensure the @FEC is a true watchdog. https://t.co/3xCNpqSfmf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Tomorrow I’m hosting a discussion on educational equity with Baltimore high schooler Jemira Queen, @NFLTE82, and @JohnBKing. Tune in live here 6PM ET. https://t.co/Mcu1SK22F8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

MD Dept. of Health now recognizes we need a statewide registration system like those in other states. But we also need to expand beyond mass sites to help MDers better access vaccines & move MD up from the bottom of the pack. This may be a step forward but we need a giant leap. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Following four years of retreat, we must work overtime to restore our leadership on the global stage. That includes at the @UN, and I know @LindaT_G is the right person for it. I look forward to working with her as we rebuild our alliances and invest in diplomacy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After four long years, we finally have a President willing to hold Putin accountable for attacks on our infrastructure and for his assault on freedom and democracy. https://t.co/xn5LZDU2hS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

At a time when many struggle to pay rent and put food on the table, it’s unconscionable that some hospitals seize patients’ wages and bank accounts to collect medical debts. I’m reintroducing legislation to ban this practice that can leave families destitute during a pandemic. https://t.co/RbbAEFDSu6 — PolitiTweet.org
