I will strongly support robust security assistance for our friend and ally Israel—but our assistance shouldn't be used to aid and abet Netanyahu’s illegal scheme to unilaterally annex parts of the West Bank, killing a two-state solution and peace prospects.https://t.co/oUs6OwgDtx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

On the floor with @SenToomey asking for a final vote on the House-passed version Hong Kong Autonomy Act. It should pass the Senate again and go to Trump for his signature. He must stand up to China for their assault on #HongKong’s democratic rights. https://t.co/GgnHbG70a9 — PolitiTweet.org

No American child should go hungry because Senate GOP leadership didn't prioritize SNAP in COVID-19 relief. Food insecurity isn't a new issue, but this pandemic has made matters worse for Maryland workers and families trying to put food on the table. We must #BoostSNAPNow. — PolitiTweet.org

For many, rent is due today. Millions who are out of work have no idea how they’re going to pay. RT if you agree: Senate Republicans shouldn’t leave for July Fourth before allowing a vote on the House-passed Emergency Housing Protections and Relief Act.https://t.co/xhAsizbJjO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The version of the #HongKong Autonomy Act that the House just passed includes minor technical changes to the bill @SenToomey and I passed last week. Tomorrow, we’ll take to the floor and ask the Senate to pass the new version immediately. https://t.co/4z3PBIpHmO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I’ve heard a lot of bad faith arguments against #DCStatehood, but the fact is this: There are 700,000 American citizens in our nation’s capital who can’t cast a vote for Congress. D.C.—with its own history, character, and culture—must be a state. https://t.co/3PbjVDtxfa — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The version of the Hong Kong Accountability Act that the House just passed includes minor technical changes to the bill @SenToomey and I passed last week. Tomorrow, we’ll take to the floor and ask the Senate to pass the new version immediately. https://t.co/4z3PBIpHmO — PolitiTweet.org

Good news. House passed an infrastructure package that also takes action on climate change. Includes our bill with @RepDebDingell and @SenMarkey to create a national climate bank. At a time when millions are out of work, this will help invest in clean energy and create good jobs. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This #PrideMonth, we commit to continuing the fight for equal rights for LGBTQ Americans. The recent SCOTUS decision affirming workplace LGBTQ rights was a start, but we must pass the #EqualityAct to extend that victory to all aspects of life—housing, education, and more. https://t.co/8jGbZcTSgn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

While COVID-19 has taken a toll on the budget in Maryland and states across the country, it would be premature for Maryland to enact Gov. Hogan’s severe cuts at this time and state employees deserve to have a voice in this decision. https://t.co/yRjVav7gGC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is the danger of having a president who doesn’t read. His silence further emboldens Putin and other adversaries. Congress must pass the DETER Act to send a clear message to Russia and others—if you interfere in our 2020 election you will pay a steep price. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Those complicit in snuffing out freedom, democracy, and human rights in Hong Kong must be held accountable. @SpeakerPelosi should immediately call a vote on the Hong Kong Accountability Act, which unanimously passed the Senate last week. https://t.co/ygLyXTruwO — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Taxpayers paid nearly $71M to help develop Remdesivir. Now taxpayers will pay again with its excessive $3K+ price tag. Just another reason we must pass the We PAID Act. If taxpayers help develop the drug, companies should charge them a reasonable price. https://t.co/PSMlVw5U7D — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

While #JuneMedical is an important victory for women's reproductive rights, the narrow 5-4 decision shows how precarious these rights are—and how Gorsuch and Kavanaugh misled the Senate when they said they would respect established precedent. We must keep up the fight! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today we remember the five souls who were murdered 2 years ago at the Capital Gazette for reporting the truth. As we work to end gun violence, we must also stand up for those who—at increasing risk to themselves—bring facts to the public. A free press is a bedrock of democracy. https://t.co/sCTrOU2EBC — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump learned in March that Russia paid bounties for killing our soldiers in Afghanistan, but has done nothing. Just as he and McConnell have done nothing to prevent Russia from interfering again in our elections. The Senate must pass the DETER Act as part of the defense bill! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Senate Republicans refuse to do it, but fortunately our courts are reminding President Trump that he is not a king. https://t.co/Lk5l7CZ3Dw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

History was made today! The House voted to make the District of Columbia the 51st state. As we push McConnell to hold a vote on #DCStatehood in the Senate, we must immediately pass our bills to give @MayorBowser the authority over her city’s own police and National Guard. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The House took a significant step for real change by passing the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act with support from leading civil rights groups. Now, it's time for the Senate GOP to meet the moment. No more lip service. We need a Senate vote on this meaningful plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We fought to include displaced Peace Corps volunteers in emergency unemployment assistance. But like thousands of o… https://t.co/nsvBVElFFB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

D.C. should be a state and the President shouldn’t have control over their police and National Guard. Pass it on. https://t.co/lc0KeorRcI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today the Trump Administration is once again going to SCOTUS to attack the Affordable Care Act. Even COVID-19 isn’t stopping their attempts to rip care away from millions, hike costs, and wage war on health care for American families. We’ve stopped them before and must again. https://t.co/ZT3mPvnSuq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Important vote today in Senate. We passed the bill @SenToomey and I introduced to let the government of China know: We stand with the people of #HongKong and if Beijing continues to extinguish their democratic freedoms, it will pay a price. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As we’ve seen, the President cannot be trusted to hold China accountable for its brutal crackdown on #HongKong. I’m on the floor again asking that the Senate pass the bipartisan Hong Kong Autonomy Act. https://t.co/1T0thx7ew2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

During the pandemic, firearm purchases have surged 80% from the same time last year. Congress must ensure that the background check system is not overwhelmed and that every check is completed to keep guns out of the wrong hands. https://t.co/5cJ7SgKOBB — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Hope for Homes Act is a triple win. It will help more Americans keep their jobs, create new opportunities for those who are unemployed, and lower energy costs for families in need of savings during this time of great economic uncertainty. https://t.co/N8FpNDyg4o — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s been 6 months since COVID-19 hit the U.S. There is still a shortage of medical supplies and Trump refuses to fully utilize the Defense Production Act. Teamed up with @SenDuckworth and @SenAngusKing on a bill directing HHS to use its authority to bolster the supply chain. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Republican bill is, unfortunately, ultimately a maneuver to subvert meaningful change in police accountability. If Sen. McConnell were serious about addressing the urgency of the moment and movement, he would bring a bipartisan, substantive bill before the Senate for debate. https://t.co/WUUtlJ2C5e — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If you had any doubt, President Trump is clearly modeling our justice system after a banana republic. Trump’s DOJ motto: “equal justice for all unless you are pals with the president.” Thank goodness for the whistleblowers who are guardians of the truth! https://t.co/X0s2KtdGFK — PolitiTweet.org
