Trump has again propped up a Russian conspiracy theory—this time about the 75-year-old man, who was hospitalized after being shoved to the ground while peacefully protesting. Beware of Trump continuing to amplify Russian propaganda for his political purposes. Warn people! — PolitiTweet.org

Communities of color face the highest rate of COVID-19 infection in Maryland, but many cannot access testing. That’s why we are asking the Governor to use federal funds for a testing plan that includes key local groups and the faith community. https://t.co/BkfCArwKPy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I stand with @SenBooker, @SenKamalaHarris, and @TheBlackCaucus today in sponsoring the #JusticeInPolicingAct to hold police accountable, ban abusive practices, ensure transparency and reporting of misconduct, and end virtual immunity from lawsuits. This is a key first step. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Important news for Instacart workers: the company is updating its policy to prevent the practice of tip baiting—which never should have been allowed. Still lots of work to do to protect delivery workers doing essential work during the pandemic. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Gun violence exacts a terrible toll on our country, especially on communities of color. Mitch McConnell—let the Senate vote on #HR8 for universal background checks. End the indifference and save lives! #WearOrange #EndTheViolence — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday. The officers who killed her nearly three months ago still have not been charged. We must demand justice. Those who unjustly take liberty and lives must be held accountable. #SayHerName https://t.co/dluOF1tjhi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I’ve called for AG Barr to be fired, but his recent actions show he is a direct threat to the Constitution. If he won’t go, the DOJ IG must investigate his role in ordering the military to assault the rights of citizens, even if Trump removes IG for trying. Do the right thing! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mr. President, stop! Our country is in pain. Do something for our country for a change: Just stop talking. Just stop tweeting. Just go back to the bunker. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Meet Gini Gerbasi—one of the really scary people Trump retweeted was one of the “terrorists” who was “not peaceful and not real.” Mr. President—stop terrorizing our country. https://t.co/dcx4Ts6QuU — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mayor Bowser is clear and right—federal law enforcement and National Guard troops from other states must go home. No Governor would stand for outside troops in their states without their consent. We must respect the city’s right to self-governance—D.C. Statehood NOW! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Years ago, Donald Trump praised China’s brutal crackdown against students in Tiananmen Square. As we now seek to support peaceful protestors in Hong Kong, Trump has ordered rubber bullets fired against protesters near Lafayette Park. We must stand up for human rights everywhere. https://t.co/7J4f4Ndxjt — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Using military force against peaceful protesters is unconstitutional and, to add insult to injury, taxpayers have to pay for these attacks on their rights. Sec. Esper must explain why he flip-flopped on the troops, whether Trump ordered him to do it, and what this is costing. https://t.co/iHLXRjflAd — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Musician @MannyWellz has lived in Maryland since he was 9 and DACA allowed him to grow his career and win a Grammy. The #DreamAndPromise Act would protect up to 2.5M Dreamers and TPS recipients—people like Manny. The House passed it a year ago. Mitch, let's vote. #HomeIsHere https://t.co/yZOts4P1OR — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It’s been more than a year but, despite repeated requests, the FBI still has not responded to simple questions about the National-Use-Of-Force database. This is crucial in holding law enforcement accountable and addressing racial bias. The public deserves an answer now! https://t.co/B8fiE37tu1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Was proud to join protestors outside the Capitol today as they delivered an urgent message for real change. Now it’s time for a majority inside the Senate to match their demand for justice by passing laws for police accountability and to root out systemic racism in all its forms. https://t.co/xCJAhQYMui — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

A perfect metaphor for the Trump Administration: they are asking the Senate to confirm as director of OMB the same person who was running OMB when they broke the law by illegally withholding military assistance to Ukraine—and who then stonewalled the GAO investigation. Vote NO! https://t.co/2MhzTSwLGH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Esper spineless again. He and Milley violated their constitutional oaths by being complicit as Trump used the military against protestors exercising their right to peacefully assemble. They have a duty to refuse illegal orders and Congress must block this illegal use of funds. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Wes Unseld was an absolute legend, both on and off the court. I know Maryland will sorely miss him but his legacy will live on in the lives he touched—including the players he coached, students he mentored, and children he helped through his volunteer work.https://t.co/Of83klsc7N — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Right now, what we need is both empathy for and unity behind the movement against systemic racism. President Trump will not provide that path forward so it’s up to all of us to turn this moment into real, sustained change. https://t.co/TT1c6usRze — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland: If you’re having any issues casting your ballot in today’s primary election, please contact the nonpartisan voter hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE. https://t.co/ezTn2vYZR9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We've seen firsthand how DOD’s 1033 program has contributed to the militarization of our police departments—leading to tanks on our streets, the erosion of police-community relations, and the escalation violence. Trump should never have reinstated this program, we must end it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

There are many forces that seek to suppress the vote. We cannot allow them to succeed. While Maryland’s primary election might look different today, it’s still critical that you mail in your ballot. Find out more about limited in-person voting too: https://t.co/KBQ3q4hYF3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Sickening and dangerous. Trump feels "important" using rubber bullets and tear gas on peaceful protestors to cross the street for his photo op. Congress appropriates over $2 billion a year to support civil society around the world against autocrats like this. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Renters across America are confronting an economic assault leveled by this pandemic. Without a paycheck and delays in unemployment benefits, millions could be forced out of their homes. That’s why I am urging Congress to pass $100 billion in #RentReliefNow.https://t.co/vC4wwFVKWe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

At a time that demands a recognition of the pain of injustice, Trump continues to fuel racism by citing his “vicious dogs” and promoting excessive force against protesters—the same tactics used against the civil rights movement. We must all take action to end this injustice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

There cannot be true peace without real justice and justice requires that we not only open our eyes to the racism that exists, but fundamentally change the systems that entrench it. That is the only way to ensure that we are truly one nation, indivisible. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

With Maryland receiving $205M in federal COVID-19 testing funds, the State is required to submit a plan of action to the CDC. We urge them to publicly release it. The public needs details on how the funds will help Marylanders—especially in our hardest-hit communities—get tested. https://t.co/3mn7QMVzpl — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In the midst of the biggest global health crisis of the century, what does the “stable genius” do? Puts us more at risk by leaving the World Health Organization—which has key role in stopping the spread of disease. And, btw, he is putting China in the driver’s seat. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Rebuilding Main Street Act is a win-win-win. Government shares payroll costs and provides grants for small businesses to safely reopen as we fully protect workers and boost our economy. Our work share proposal should be in the next response package. https://t.co/vzBPaU7sOX — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump keeps saying the economy will quickly return to normal, but now his White House plans to hide the truth from the public. His gross negligence has not only resulted in thousands of unnecessary deaths, but also millions more unemployed. They don’t want you to know. — PolitiTweet.org
