Trump’s use of secret federal agents against protestors in Portland isn’t an isolated incident. He did it in D.C. and now he is talking about doing it in Baltimore. Proud to join @SenJeffMerkley and @RonWyden to introduce legislation today to stop Trump’s abuse. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We must #DemilitarizeThePolice. The DOD’s 1033 program has caused some police departments to present themselves more like warriors than community guardians. Our bipartisan amendment would stop transfers of military-grade weapons like tanks and tear gas. https://t.co/Erk1K2hXB6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Stand in solidarity with @SenJeffMerkley, @RonWyden, and the people of Oregon to end this abuse of power! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Not one more dime should be appropriated for the Dept. of Homeland Security or other involved federal agencies until they remove their agents, many of them without identifying insignia, from the streets of Portland. Stop the escalation! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We have lost a man of towering moral courage. As John Lewis said, “the true work of social transformation starts within. It begins inside your own heart and mind.” Now, more than ever, let us walk in his footsteps and “get in the way” of injustice. https://t.co/KEfjH6s05X — PolitiTweet.org

Over 130,000 TPS holders work on the front lines of our country's COVID-19 response. Trump's efforts to strip their status and deport them is unjust and stupid. As I mentioned to grassroots activists this morning, we must keep fighting for protections like our SECURE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Without immediate federal aid, local and state governments will continue cutting public services and laying off public workers, prolonging an economic and public health disaster. The House passed the HEROES Act 2 months ago—the Senate must act. #FundtheFrontlines — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In May, we asked Treasury to block predatory payday lenders from obtaining PPP. They didn’t listen. Trump and Mnuchin decided to use taxpayer dollars to feed loan sharks who prey on workers and struggling families instead. Reprehensible. https://t.co/3JdeRYuTlJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

No country should be able to steal our intellectual property with impunity. Congress has to immediately pass our bipartisan bill to penalize foreign actors who seek to gain a strategic advantage by ripping-off U.S. trade secrets. We must deter this larceny.https://t.co/g7xqm5IQli — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In a giveaway to big polluters, Trump just took a sledgehammer to one of the nation's most significant environmental laws, squashing input from local voices and making it even harder to tackle climate change. We will fight back. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

While Trump praised the Hong Kong Autonomy Act at his press conference, his White House opposed it on the Hill until they saw we had a veto-proof majority. The President needs to spend more time holding China accountable and less time spewing untruths about VP Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The #HongKong Autonomy Act has now been signed into law. Will work with @SenToomey to ensure that the provisions of our bill are fully implemented. Trump has not used his existing powers to sanction China, but he must now impose these penalties. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is why it’s essential that America continue to stand up to Trump’s abuse of power. The president only backed down because of overwhelming grassroots pushback and solid lawsuits filed by Johns Hopkins University and others. Keep up the fight for decency and justice! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Judy Shelton, Trump’s nominee for the Fed Board, was so bad that even some GOP senators who typically rubber-stamp all things Trump held up the vote. Now they appear to be caving, putting the economy at greater risk. Tell the GOP to vote no! #StopShelton https://t.co/igCFzcHFjO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It would be shameful to let another month pass without taking action on rent relief. If the Senate doesn’t act now, many Americans are at risk of losing the roof over their heads on top of everything else this pandemic has thrown at them. https://t.co/XT505ZEcLZ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Swamp strikes again. Trump’s bottom line: profits for favored gun industry lobbies over safety of our troops. https://t.co/xW2TMsgA6R — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Dan Snyder isn’t changing the name because it's the right thing to do. It's the result of pressure from sponsors that would hurt his bottom line. He should have done this long ago. Can't let up until a new name is finalized. https://t.co/MYF67AgYbc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump's threat to deport international students so universities and colleges are pressured to open—against the advice of health experts amid rising cases—is a gross abuse of power. I stand with JHU in challenging ICE's guidance. We must fight to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Students without internet are hit especially hard by COVID-19 school closures, and could fall further behind as schools look toward remote solutions—unless Congress acts now to ensure ALL students have equal access to the necessary equipment and broadband. https://t.co/FCpQx13iaC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is what equal justice under the law looks like: the president is NOT above the law. A good day for our democracy, but we have to keep fighting to hold this President accountable. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Disgraceful that the person who holds the title of Commander in Chief is driving a true patriot from the U.S. military. If only the Commander in Chief had an ounce of Lt. Col. Vindman's integrity, our country would be much better off. https://t.co/1OyC6MytPy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Payday lenders just hit pay dirt. The agency that is supposed be a consumer watchdog just eliminated protections that Obama put in place and gave modern day loan sharks a license to pocket $7 billion by exploiting those in need. Another day in Trump world. https://t.co/QLB3yQcSFY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump’s negligence during COVID-19 has made the unemployment problem far worse. We need a strategy to provide short and long-term job opportunities for workers. Introduced a bill with @RonWyden—which includes parts of our earlier Long-Term Unemployment Elimination Act—to do that. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Rebuilding Main Street Act meets businesses where they are right now so they can survive this crisis. It encourages employers to use Work Sharing to split their payroll costs with the unemployment system so they can gradually reopen as customers start to return. https://t.co/ugXarmWOGR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

June set an all-time record for background checks related to gun sales. If the system gets overwhelmed, even more guns will fall into the wrong hands. We’re asking the Senate for more funding to get these background checks done. https://t.co/dDblD4kng2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Despite what Trump says, the pandemic is not over. Please do your part to keep you and your community safe. Keep social distancing, wear a mask around other people, and play it safe. Remember: it’s not just for you, it’s also for everyone around you. https://t.co/94n7bop81T — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This #JulyFourth, let's reflect on the call to action that sparked our American revolution—the right to freedom, democracy, justice, and the pursuit of happiness. We must also look ahead and ensure those rights and liberties are shared equally by all. Wishing you all a Happy 4th! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Not only did the House pass another relief package—they took action to expand the ACA. Meanwhile, amid the pandemic, the GOP has continued their assault on our health care while refusing to act on more emergency aid. Americans need more affordable care and urgent help, not less. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

An official watchdog found that Trump’s 2019 July 4th show promoting himself cost over $13 million—twice the normal amount. Now he’s at it again. Tell Trump July 4th is about the country, not himself. Stop spending our taxpayers $$ on self-aggrandizement.https://t.co/lT1e1ON0ZJ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was made possible in part by Americans protesting systemic oppression and calling for a more perfect union. As we mark its 56th anniversary, we commit anew to working together for real change and fighting for true and full equality under the law. https://t.co/TbB9qwcqDl — PolitiTweet.org
