The first Heroes Act passed the House 5 months ago but the Senate GOP has refused to act on robust relief to help Americans facing mounting bills. Now, as 8 million are slipping into poverty with no safety net, the GOP is instead obsessed with packing the Court to kill the ACA. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We’re in the midst of a global pandemic and millions of Americans are out of work, and Trump’s big idea for a second term is to cut the corporate tax rate by 1% to make it a nice round number. We need to help workers, not put more money in the pockets of billionaires. — PolitiTweet.org

Since Republicans are using baseball analogies, here’s one for them: Why would a team recruit a star player who did… https://t.co/YqG8DHiz5q — PolitiTweet.org

Today would have been George Floyd’s 47th birthday. He should still be alive to celebrate. Instead, his family and friends will spend the day mourning. We have to keep demanding justice for him and so many others. Let the Senate vote on the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Who serves on the Supreme Court matters. Lifting the stay allows Trump to continue his political games and end the Census early. Today we see how a conservative majority can undermine an accurate count and rob states of millions in their fair share of federal funding. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Judge Barrett’s nomination is the latest step in the GOP’s all-out war on the vital protections provided by the Affordable Care Act. The lives and livelihoods of Americans with pre-existing conditions like Xiomara and Jacqueline are on the line. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/tC1y1lIo27 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Talk about illegitimate Court-packing. Trump couldn’t destroy the Affordable Care Act thru the democratic process—survived by 1 vote. So now—with the virus raging and millions having voted—GOP wants to kill it with 1 vote in unelected SCOTUS. Contempt for voters and their health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I hope everyone has made their plan to vote. For any Marylanders who are not yet REGISTERED to vote, you still have time—the deadline is this TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13th. Please make sure you and everybody you know is registered to vote. Here’s how: https://t.co/C17buJh5g0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

While screaming about draining the swamp, Trump was doing the opposite. Since 2016, Trump has built the most corrupt, unconstitutional, and lucrative favors-in-exchange-for-profit system while robbing American workers. Another reason we need Deutsche Bank's records with Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

175 years ago today, the @NavalAcademy was founded in Annapolis. The choice to serve our country comes with great responsibility, sacrifice, and honor. Our leaders at the highest level should always respect those who serve our country—and support our troops every step of the way. https://t.co/jO3UxWNEB2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If true, it’s time for CDC Dir. Redfield to resign in protest of this political interference in a key health matter & explain his decision to the public. That would show support for the CDC professionals AND focus public attention on the need to wear masks.https://t.co/U2R2620a7p — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Despite Sec. Mnuchin agreeing it’s “reasonable” to make the payroll tax deferral optional for federal workers and troops, they’re still being forced into Trump’s shell game. Our bill will hold Mnuchin to his word and stop Trump from using public servants as political pawns. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Governor Whitmer, we stand with you. Words matter. There can be no tolerance for those that make threats like these and promote acts of violence. I call on my Republican colleagues to show us they stand against domestic terrorism. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Much like COVID-19, asthma disproportionately impacts communities of color. Baltimore has one of the highest asthma rates in the nation. The GOP’s efforts to destroy protections for people with pre-existing conditions will worsen this environmental injustice. #WhatsAtStake — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A ray of sunshine in tough times: Cavanaugh Bell from Gaithersburg turned a difficult situation at school into a drive to help others by starting a food pantry. With his generosity and hard work, he embodies the Maryland spirit of helping one another. https://t.co/uKQwzrGHz3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We need comprehensive relief, and we’ve been trying to get this done for nearly 6 months. But Trump and McConnell would rather push through a SCOTUS nominee that will rip health care away from Americans and raise prescription drug costs. #WhatsAtStake https://t.co/GSEnDnuW3m — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The White House's secrecy and lack of serious response to its COVID-19 outbreak is endangering workers and their families—many of whom are Marylanders. We need answers about what steps are being taken to protect White House workers, including Secret Service and support staff. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

To sum up Trump’s position: Stop efforts to help America defeat COVID-19 in order to focus 100% on putting someone on SCOTUS to destroy the Affordable Care Act and take away health care protections from Americans. Not what the public is looking for. https://t.co/DmRfppnFwW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Over 100 days since reports of Russia offering bounties for the murder of U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan and still no response from the Trump Administration or plan to hold Russia accountable. Joined with patriot @SenDuckworth to say: those who serve deserve so much better. https://t.co/WfzwS7s33S — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Glad that Trump likes the first class care he is getting at Walter Reed. We in Maryland are proud of their work too. The difference is that we are not trying to strip our fellow Americans of access to care and protections for pre-existing conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump now says “I get it” and he has “learned a lot” at “the real school.” Tragically, it is too late for the nearly 210,000 Americans dead and more than 7.4 million infected with COVID-19. And he still doesn’t get it—endangering those around him for political theater. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Let’s get this straight: It’s too reckless for the Senate to be in session and for Judiciary’s McCabe hearing, but McConnell won’t apply that logic to the Barrett hearing? The GOP obsession with killing the ACA while putting people at risk—including many Marylanders—must stop. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

10 days ago, Mnuchin agreed it's “reasonable” to make Trump’s payroll tax deferral optional for federal workers and the military, but he’s been silent since. The Trump Admin must stop using them as pawns and forcing them to participate in this shell game against their will. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If these @NASA astronauts up in the @Space_Station can vote, I know all of you here on Earth can too! Today is one month until Election Day. Make your plan to vote early: https://t.co/C17buIZtRq https://t.co/htfPIA1WCi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

53 years ago, Marylander Thurgood Marshall—champion of civil rights—became the first Black Supreme Court justice. @SenatorCardin and I are working to put a statue of him in the Old Supreme Court Chamber. We must pursue his clarion call for equal justice. https://t.co/1ApjLTHszu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Low wage workers are hit hardest by the COVID-19 crisis. The House’s original Heroes Act, and the new relief bill passed by the House last night, supports these workers and families with the $600/week UI boost and nutrition and rental assistance. McConnell, allow a Senate vote! https://t.co/5txZQdIHqi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I wish the President, the First Lady and their staff, and the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are currently infected with COVID-19, a full recovery. The virus can reach every American and following CDC guidelines is essential. No one should mock those who wear masks. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The ACE Act has now passed both the House and Senate, and includes our Chesapeake WILD Act—which will invest $15M in local partners’ Chesapeake Bay restoration efforts. I urge the President to sign this legislation to restore this national treasure. https://t.co/SVMHxohTa0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The police shouldn't have to handle every crisis. We must build alternative response capabilities to stop criminalizing poverty, substance use disorders, and mental health conditions. The first step? The Community-Based Response Act, which I introduced today with @RepKarenBass. https://t.co/wceLPn4dOu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland, home to some of our nation’s finest space facilities, is critical to @NASA’s mission. Co-hosted a discussion yesterday with @JimBridenstine and leaders of key Maryland space organizations about the need to invest in this important work. https://t.co/gbOvjqwup9 — PolitiTweet.org
