Want to help save lives? Mask up. Teamed up with @SenSanders to introduce the Masks for All Act, which will ramp up domestic production of high quality, reusable masks for all and provide surgical masks and N-95 respirators to all workers in health settings. https://t.co/RGrcM7BY7q — PolitiTweet.org

Mr. President, I understand why you are scared of an election, but the country is not. There is no postponing this verdict. The election will be held as scheduled. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In the middle of a pandemic, CFPB Director Kathy Kraninger—who is supposed be a consumer watchdog—rolled back protections against predatory payday lenders. The Trump Admin’s $7 billion giveaway to payday lenders will hit workers when they are already struggling. https://t.co/eU06MuZCmS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Another piece of Putin's agenda. Another step to weaken NATO and U.S.-European ties. This will make it harder to rebuild our relationships and trust with our democratic allies. https://t.co/AtLXwOT4ji — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Facts to put the GOP's priorities in perspective: Over 40% of COVID-19 deaths were linked to nursing homes or long-term care facilities. Targeted funding to help nursing homes experiencing outbreaks in the GOP bill? $0 Funding to help Trump get richer? $1.75 billion — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is not a dog whistle, but the loud bullhorn of a segregationist whose poisonous strategy is based on sowing hate, division, and discrimination. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

His priorities revealed again. As he seeks to hijack the emergency relief bill to help his D.C. hotel, Trump doesn’t believe that credible reports of Russian bounties to kill American soldiers in Afghanistan merit a mention in his call with Putin. His property. Their lives. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mo brought joy and hope to everyone, wherever he went. He battled cancer most of his life, but it never dampened his resilient spirit or his love for Baltimore and our sports teams. Rest in peace, Mo. https://t.co/A4AXhl2TFx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We should never allow medical debts to ruin peoples’ livelihoods—but especially not as we face this pandemic. Teamed up with @ChrisMurphyCT to stop aggressive medical debt collection tactics like seizing patients’ wages and bank accounts. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Helping the millions of Americans who are about to get kicked out of their homes isn’t a “pressing need” but spending $1.75 billion to protect Trump’s real estate interests is? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today, as I stood at his casket to bid a final farewell to a man who taught me, and our country, so many important lessons, I pledged not to rest until we, in the Senate, a short walk from where he lay, passed the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Act. https://t.co/SWK87Kmyoz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republicans just fed Trump’s corruption yet again by putting him ahead of an emergency relief package for American families. No eviction moratorium, nutrition assistance, or state and local funding, but the GOP plan will boost one thing: Trump’s pocketbook. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

McConnell has now let the federal eviction moratorium expire without any effort to vote on an emergency relief package. With rent due in a week, millions are at risk of losing the roof above their heads. They need relief now. Let's vote! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Americans with Disabilities Act was a huge step forward. But despite our progress, enormous obstacles remain—including new threats to healthcare access for people with disabilities. As we celebrate #ADA30 we must recommit to the ongoing fight for inclusion and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Glad the DOJ IG is investigating Trump’s gross abuse of power in D.C. and Portland, but we can’t wait for his report to act. We already know the harm being done. The Senate needs to pass the bill I introduced with @SenJeffMerkley and @RonWyden to stop this.https://t.co/3JvBPuLQjJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

To safely reopen schools, we need widespread testing. Instead, Trump is letting billions of dollars Congress allocated for testing go unspent. He says he wants schools to reopen, but won't take the necessary steps to successfully do so. https://t.co/G5rHR3pwrg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congress spent years working towards a new FBI campus. Trump pulled the plug. Now he wants to exploit the next emergency COVID-19 bill to get the current FBI building renovated on the current site near the Trump Hotel. Not going to happen. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As discussed during this hearing, back in 2017 Sec. Carson and his lawyers supported this rule. Now, after pressure from Trump, they’ve officially made it harder for victims of housing discrimination to succeed in court. Speak out, we have to reverse this! https://t.co/WfvXsHjnO6 https://t.co/SiZlfjCqve — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump is spreading lies about vote-by-mail to suppress the vote. Gov. Hogan should not fall for it. He needs to revise his plan so Marylanders can directly vote-by-mail in November—as we did in the primary. He needs to make it easier, not harder, to safely vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I spoke to @mayorbcyoung by phone yesterday and we agreed that we would like more federal funds for Baltimore schools, transportation, and housing—but we don’t want Trump’s secret police. The Senate needs to pass our bill to stop this abuse of power now. https://t.co/h4e230AI0C — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The federal eviction mortarium is set to expire in 2 days. 23 million Americans will face eviction if Mitch McConnell doesn’t do his job and allow a vote on another emergency package that includes rent relief. https://t.co/ZcvrCWRrI3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

6 months later, still nothing from the SEC investigation into the fabricated letters from “Main Street” investors that Chairman Clayton used to justify his corporate giveaway. Today, SEC Com. Peirce couldn’t identify even one real Main Street investor supporting the rule change. https://t.co/x1TTZxB3Ot — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Congress must immediately pass our bipartisan bill to deter China, Russia, and other adversaries from this serial theft of America’s cutting-edge technologies. We must make it clear in advance that there will be a steep price to pay. https://t.co/IJVVF9H3gk — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

John Lewis called voting “the most powerful nonviolent tool we have.” This week we are naming the Voting Rights Advancement Act after him to honor his life’s mission and strike down voting barriers. McConnell praised Lewis but has blocked a vote on this for 228 days. Let’s vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Not only will this decision threaten the integrity of the Census, but it will also rob our state of its fair share of federal funding to invest in schools, transportation, public health, and other key priorities. This must be struck down by the courts. https://t.co/Ip9vIF9lWy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Empowering families to move into homes in areas of greater job and educational opportunities helps break the cycle of poverty. Glad to see $50M from my bipartisan bill with @SenToddYoung is available for families to move to more stable, affordable housing.https://t.co/Qkt2q3aS6D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Shelton’s economic ideas are so whacky that, just a few months ago, even some of my GOP colleagues opposed her nomination to the Federal Reserve. But now their fear of retribution from Trump apparently exceeds their fear of the risk she poses to the economy. https://t.co/OFrfy1o2Eq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The pandemic has turned the #HomeworkGap into a full-blown learning gap. If we don't include at least $4 billion for the E-Rate program in the next relief package, 16 million students without adequate access to home internet or devices risk falling further and further behind. https://t.co/dqzCGgdl1u — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Many small businesses returned all or some of their PPP loan due to uncertainty—they shouldn’t be barred from re-applying now that terms have changed. We’re urging SBA and Treasury to clarify this for those in Maryland and across the country who need help now. https://t.co/Q8jD1pgw4e — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mr. Vought was complicit in Trump’s corrupt scheme to extort Ukraine to interfere in our elections and the outrageous effort to cut CDC funds during a pandemic to pay for billionaire tax breaks. So what did GOP just do? Voted to put him in charge of OMB and the budget. — PolitiTweet.org
