I felt a weight lifting from my shoulders today as I introduced the President's nominee for Attorney General, Merrick Garland. After years of an Attorney General who did the personal political bidding of Donald Trump, Judge Garland is the antidote the country needs. https://t.co/NmlkwyS0IG — PolitiTweet.org

Alliances and effective diplomacy make America stronger and safer. It’s good to finally see a leader in the White House who will actually work with, not against, our NATO allies. https://t.co/ajVEJfTknV — PolitiTweet.org

Texas is learning that the devastation wrought by climate change is not a thing of the future—but of here and now. Today the U.S. rejoined the Paris Climate Agreement, re-engaging with the world to fight this crisis. Let’s get to work to create millions of clean energy jobs! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is excellent news! I’ve valued @JulieVerratti’s insights on how best to support small businesses, and I’m certain she will be a fierce advocate for those in Maryland and all across our country. Congratulations Julie—the Biden Administration is lucky to have you! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Gun violence exacts a terrible toll, but the agency charged with enforcing our gun laws hasn't had a permanent Director for 6 years. We're urging @POTUS to quickly nominate an @ATFHQ Director to prioritize transparency, industry oversight, and gun safety. https://t.co/jz9P9yapnp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Trump climate change deniers tried to bury the evidence. Glad to see the Biden Admin putting science back into the decision-making process. With this step, agencies will set an example for the rest of the nation by weighing the costs of carbon pollution before taking action. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Let us know what you find! And congratulations to the good folks at @NASAJPL, @NASA, and @JHUAPL whose hard work keeps our nation at the forefront of space discovery and innovation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Spot on, @genebsperling. For years, we’ve been fighting to cut taxes for working families by boosting the Earned Income and Child Tax Credits. By expanding both, the American Rescue Plan will help cut childhood poverty and get relief to those hardest-hit.https://t.co/vvwDyhpt8Z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The #USCitizenshipAct marks an important step. Proud to cosponsor this bill to provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and TPS recipients. We've pushed for years to reform our immigration system so it reflects our nation’s values—looking forward to continuing that work. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, there are loopholes that can allow corporate executives to game the system and profit off of insider information. I’ve introduced a bill with @SenatorFischer to fix this and recently teamed up with @SenWarren and @SenSherrodBrown to ask the SEC to review their rules. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Some great news in news! This is a win for Baltimore, the Sun employees, and journalism in Maryland. Glad to see the Sun back in the hands of the community. https://t.co/0ewB5ew3rv — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Now more than ever, it’s critical for Americans to have health care coverage—which is why the Biden Administration has announced a special open enrollment period for uninsured Americans to get covered from now until May 15th. Sign up at https://t.co/snisPkKboe. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today I hosted a roundtable with @CharlesSydnor3d, @JheanelleW, and affordable housing advocates to discuss the COVID-19 housing crisis and what we’re doing to help. If you missed it, watch here: https://t.co/p7piE2xxRl https://t.co/YkCIWjZhJB — PolitiTweet.org

Reports that North Korea is attempting to steal COVID-19 vaccine information from Pfizer are deeply concerning. I’m planning to reintroduce legislation with @SenSasse to sanction foreign entities who steal our cutting-edge technologies and key innovations. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This #PresidentsDay we are especially grateful for what we had taken for granted until the 2020 election—the peaceful transfer of power. January 6th was a wakeup call. We must be vigilant to protect Lincoln’s exhortation that “government by the people...shall not perish.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Because of the incredible work federal employees at NIH and FDA do, we were able to develop the COVID-19 vaccine in record time. As @POTUS noted during his visit to NIH, these folks are heroes and represent the best our nation has to offer. Maryland could not be more proud. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This trial proved Trump’s high crimes against the Constitution. 43 senators put Trump first and failed the test of history. But history was also made with the largest bipartisan majority ever voting to convict a president. The rest of the story is ours to write. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is unacceptable. Trump may have left office, but his Postmaster General is still wreaking havoc even after the Congress just provided the Post Office with an additional $10 billion. He must be replaced. https://t.co/SxyiA1IKdX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congrats @NAACP on your 112th anniversary! We salute your tireless work in the long struggle to ensure our country’s actions meet the promise of equal rights, equal justice, and equal opportunity for all. #NAACPFoundersDay — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate just passed our resolution awarding Officer Goodman the Congressional Gold Medal for his bravery and quick thinking during the attack on our Capitol. His actions saved lives and protected our democratic process. I urge the House to swiftly follow suit. Maryland Proud. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

There’s nothing more important than investing in our children’s success. Implementing the Blueprint for MD’s Future will help provide EVERY child with a quality education. Working with Biden Admin to match these efforts by passing the Keep Our PACT to fully fund Title I & IDEA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

#Demirtas, the leader of Turkey’s third largest political party, has been in jail for over four years. Turkey has continued to ignore the European Court of Human Rights' rulings that both his and Kavala’s detentions were unlawful. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Welcome @StateDept’s call for the release of imprisoned Turkish civil society leader Osman Kavala. Trump should have done this long ago. We also shouldn’t forget the thousands of Turkish citizens unjustly imprisoned—including former Presidential candidate, Selahattin #Demirtas. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We must reduce the costs of prescription drugs so Marylanders can afford the medications they need. Today’s override vote means the new Prescription Drug Affordability Board can help do just that. Congress also needs to do its part, including by passing the We PAID Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Even if you somehow conjure up the fiction that Trump didn’t know what he was doing when he started the Big Lie, there is no defense for why he refused to stop the violence after repeated calls from both Democrats and Republicans. To GOP senators: vote for our democracy. https://t.co/OJiKXM4eiO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Access to housing is a human right. It cannot and should not be denied to anyone based on who you love. Today, the Biden Administration took a long overdue step to help ensure that by extending the protections of the Fair Housing Act to LGBTQ Americans. Glad to see this progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

What’s “offensive” is watching Capitol Hill police being beaten and spat upon by the mob Trump sent to overturn an election and what’s “absurd” is the failure to conclude that Trump’s actions are a crime against the Constitution. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Even virtually, the athletes and advocates at @SpOlympicsMD never fail to inspire! It was great to discuss how Congress can best support the @SpecialOlympics so we can work together to build inclusive communities and fight for the rights of those with disabilities. https://t.co/IlcNnsplKK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good news from Biden Administration this week: more vaccines doses are coming to the states. But everyone needs to work together on this issue. The CDC numbers don’t lie—Maryland needs a more transparent and efficient process to get more vaccines to people. https://t.co/SFValwBXHE — PolitiTweet.org
