President Trump’s COVID-19 response has been disastrous. He still hasn't used the full power of the Defense Production Act for vaccines and protective gear. Glad to hear that President-elect Biden plans to use every tool we have to fight this pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The new relief package provides $25 billion in rental assistance and extends the eviction moratorium through Jan 31st and then Biden can extend it further during the COVID emergency. No one should live in fear of losing the roof over their head. https://t.co/MlWVvso6X3 — PolitiTweet.org

Americans need help. With bipartisan support for $2,000 direct payments, there is no excuse for McConnell to block a vote. But he just did—not once, but twice—on the Senate floor. There’s too much at stake to hold this up—we need to vote, now! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The House just sent us a bill to increase direct payments to $2,000. After holding relief hostage, will Trump now urge his own party to allow a Senate vote on larger checks for Americans? Or was Trump’s delay just another political stunt? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This weekend, millions have lost a vital lifeline as emergency unemployment benefits expired. Intentionally inflicting pain on people is gratuitous cruelty. Mr. President, it’s time to stop playing games, step off the golf course, and sign the damn bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Happy Holidays! With gratitude to all those on the front lines of our fight against COVID-19, our family extends best wishes to all as we enter a new season of hope and turn the page in our nation’s history. Here’s to brighter days ahead with more work to do than ever. https://t.co/93BW9HFGMf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We will never forget Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith, Wendi Winters and all the journalists who lost their lives in the line of duty—reporting facts. To honor them, the Fallen Journalists Memorial Act has now been signed into law.https://t.co/z5TZaEwPQl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Shutting down the government is no joke. If Trump is serious about getting relief to Americans, he must sign this bill and tell Republicans to stop blocking our efforts to increase direct payments. We can increase checks to $2,000 by Christmas if his own party would support it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump just vetoed the NDAA which includes a pay raise for our troops and key national security priorities. Why? It didn’t punish Twitter for exposing his lies and will rename military bases that glorify those who fought to protect slavery. Shameful. We will override. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mike Miller is a student of Maryland history and his departure from its Senate marks the end of an era. Governors have come and gone, but Sen. Miller, with unmatched political acumen, has steered Maryland on a progressive course and toward a more perfect union. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I know nothing he does is surprising any more, but what an obscene, partisan, and gross abuse of power. This is the swamp at its muckiest. January 20th can’t come soon enough. https://t.co/gFhh0pYl8H — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good news: Yesterday's package took important steps in the battle on climate change—joining the global community to phase down super-polluting HFCs (Trump refused to join), investing in clean energy jobs & passing my ARPA-E bill to promote clean energy R&D.https://t.co/8KpULceenq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

After three years of this failed tax scam, I look forward to working with @JoeBiden to enact real reforms that help middle-class families and ensure that wealthy families and big corporations contribute more so we can invest in the success of every American. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Now skyrocketing inequality—supercharged by the Trump Tax Scam—has us even more vulnerable to the health and economic devastation of the coronavirus pandemic. https://t.co/LsaB40ARsN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Remember when Republicans said their tax scam would pay for itself? It actually cost $1.9 trillion, and now the GOP wants to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security to pay for their tax cuts for billionaires. https://t.co/nQixsE9Lrt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It would simplify taxes enough to file on a postcard they said! The tax code is even more complex than before. https://t.co/c8FrAcWCGN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump said it would create American jobs. In reality, it created new incentives to ship jobs abroad. Even before COVID-19, job creation lagged behind Obama’s second term. We must reverse tax breaks for billionaires and end the long-term unemployment crisis:https://t.co/Cr4JCE9vR1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Three years ago today, Trump signed his tax scam into law. Let’s review the promises the GOP made and what actually ended up happening. First, they promised Americans $4,000 raises but big corporations laid-off workers while giving billions to their stockholders. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I was glad to help break the final impasse with Senate Republicans over the Federal Reserve so Congress could pass this critical COVID-19 relief package. It's a first step, not the end of the story. We have much more work to do with the Biden Administration. https://t.co/zRS9ehatpM — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate just passed the BUILD Act, which I introduced with @SenatorFischer. This bill will help ensure that nonprofits helping people, like @Habitat_org aren’t constricted by burdensome regulations so they can support desperate families in their hour of need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The bipartisan emergency COVID-19 relief bill is overdue and falls short in many areas, but it will provide a vital lifeline to struggling families, workers, and small businesses, and support vaccine distribution. I will support it and then work with the Biden Admin to do more. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate just passed my bill with @SenSasse to deter foreign adversaries from stealing our cutting-edge technologies, which are essential to innovation and job growth. We urge the House to quickly pass this bill, especially given the latest cybersecurity breaches. https://t.co/JLhllVLHT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I was impressed when I visited Dr. Corbett's @NIH lab in early March to see the work they were doing to fight the coronavirus. Glad to see @KizzyPhD receive the recognition she deserves after her tireless work developing one of the COVID-19 vaccines! https://t.co/FOTFKL5d0K — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Parents need peace of mind that their kids will be safe at child care—but too often, the required background checks for employees are delayed. My bill with @SenatorBurr and @RepLucyMcBath to fix this issue passed Congress—the President should sign it into law immediately. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate passed the bill I introduced with #ElijahCummings to honor Henrietta Lacks. Trump must sign it into law to ensure all people—especially from underrepresented groups—are fully included in cancer trials and get the treatment they need. https://t.co/NX1q7BzQn1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Stop throwing an 11th hour wrench into passage of the urgently needed COVID-19 relief bill! Now that Biden will be president, GOP senators want to strip the Federal Reserve of key tools used to stabilize the economy this year. This is sick, people are hurting. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act has been signed into law. It will help millions of Americans, who rely on modest investments, from being cheated out of their money from Chinese companies that are not held to the same standards as all other publicly listed companies. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

COVID-19 has disproportionately hurt communities of color. @SenateDems' Economic Justice Act would invest in areas I've been fighting for to address disparities—including closing the digital divide, eliminating barriers that split communities, and reducing long-term unemployment. https://t.co/7DJGyAPjw3 — PolitiTweet.org
