Today is International Nurses Day. As the pandemic continues, nurses on the front lines show kindness and heroism each day. It's not enough to say thank you—we must support them with hazard pay, protective equipment, and testing so they can work safely. https://t.co/7UcHTU2Wea — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thank you to all Marylanders who have already filled out the census—we are ahead of the national response rate! COVID-19 has underscored its importance since billions in federal relief have been allocated based on census data. Take 10 mins to fill it out: https://t.co/a8QVT8kiSx https://t.co/o6MZO93DKw — PolitiTweet.org

The Baltimore Hunger Project is one of many Maryland volunteer organizations that has dramatically increased its efforts to provide food to needy families. Thank you! Congress boosted food assistance in the CARES Act, but much more is needed in the next round. https://t.co/c0w5s9kito — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Glad the SBA IG weighed in. This is what we have been saying all along. The Trump Administration unilaterally imposed conditions on assistance that have hurt small businesses. They must remove them. https://t.co/VZ55l3oVh0 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today, as we honor the amazing mothers in our lives, our family’s thoughts are with all the moms who are on the front lines fighting the pandemic and all the mothers who have lost loved ones in these difficult times. #MothersDay — PolitiTweet.org

The next time Trump boasts about the stock market going up, remember stocks surged yesterday on one of worst days ever for American workers and U.S. economy. How he measures success tells us who he really cares about. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Had a great time hosting a #KidsTownHall with @DrLeanaWen! Loved getting to hear directly from you on the questions you have—like about when school will start up again and why social distancing is important. Thanks to all the kids, parents, and Maryland partners who joined. https://t.co/FolqxwBlCs — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We must mobilize national service to help with COVID-19 and key future priorities. Proud to work with @ChrisCoons, @SenMarkey, and others to deploy 750,000 workers to address public health, food insecurity, and the Homework Gap. Let’s get this passed! #Stand4Service https://t.co/VyseJPAJuq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland is lucky to have organizations like Lifebridge that have been helping produce protective gear for hospital staff. I have also urged the Trump Administration to step up its efforts to use the DPA to expand the production of PPE and testing equipment. https://t.co/rrhM5QY4sT — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The cold blooded murder of Ahmaud happened more than 73 days ago and yet only now are the perpetrators being charged—and only after the video came out a few days ago. Justice in America should not have to wait until a video emerges. #JusticeForAhmaud — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We need many more workers to conduct the large-scale testing and contact tracing necessary to safely “re-open.” Congress should include our bill to expand AmeriCorps and other national service programs, and provide fair pay, in the next relief bill. https://t.co/qHRhQodyEF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is a total assault on the rule of law and justice. Under AG Barr, the Department of Justice has become a glorified arm of the Trump campaign to help the President attack political adversaries and reward political friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Supreme Court must act like the independent branch it was designed to be, not become an accessory to the Trump cover-up efforts. https://t.co/c0cNNd1ir6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Title III of the Defense Production Act has been totally underutilized despite our country's desperate need for supplies like swabs for testing, masks for medical workers, and more. Mr. President, you have the power and the funds—it’s long past time to put the pedal to the metal. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Hiding the death toll as part of a strategy to downplay his disastrous response to the pandemic? Not only despicable, but isn’t that what he accused China and Iran of doing? — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Instead of focusing on the coronavirus crisis, the Trump Administration is continuing its all-out assault on women’s reproductive health and the ACA. Women’s access to affordable contraception should not be vetoed by their employers or anyone else. https://t.co/jvyXVooyBN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

We must better protect and support our federal employees and contract workers, including maximizing telework, providing PPE on the job, and ensuring hazard pay. Teamed up with a bipartisan group to urge the Administration to use their existing powers to get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As a White House lawyer, Brian Miller personally participated in stonewalling the GAO inquiry that found Trump broke the law by withholding aid from Ukraine. Covering up is apparently the criteria for IG nominations by Trump. The IGs who actually do their jobs get fired. https://t.co/rZIzIWJKh3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I have repeatedly asked Secretary Mnuchin to change Treasury’s regulations so that the Paycheck Protection Program works better for small businesses and restaurants. He should not shut the door on them. — PolitiTweet.org

From protecting our country’s interests abroad to helping stranded Americans return home during the pandemic—our #ForeignService Officers are vital to our success. Today marks the 96th Foreign Service Day. Let’s take a moment to thank our over 16,000 officers for their work! https://t.co/0NDvCc176p — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Now Trump wants to impose a gag order to stop Fauci from testifying to Congress. His excuse? That it would be “counterproductive." Translation: he doesn't want the public to hear the full truth, like “don’t inject disinfectants” or “we need more rapid testing." Free Fauci! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is exactly why I’ve pressed @USGSA for details on what rent relief the Trump Hotel is requesting from them. Just see how American taxpayers are already footing the bill at Trump’s luxury hotel and lining his pockets. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good point you bring up. Need to do both, provide them with the safety net of UI while finding a way to deploy their skills in the battle against COVID-19. @SenMarkey and I introduced the UNITE Act to do just that and we want to include it in the next bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate has important work to do, but McConnell must put in place safeguards to protect Capitol Hill workers, including many Marylanders on support staff, cafeteria employees, and police. We should support, not undermine, the efforts of DC, MD, and VA to stop the spread. https://t.co/SUL7lfTIV6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Nursing homes have been hit especially hard by COVID-19. In Maryland alone, 2/3 of all long-term care facilities have COVID-19 cases. Time is of the essence. We need the Trump Administration to release the $200 million from the CARES Act to help nursing homes, seniors, and staff. https://t.co/Q2idRNshmL — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The American people deserve to know that the President isn’t giving any secret favors to Deutsche Bank. It’s entirely unacceptable that the bank’s executives are refusing to disclose their recent deals with him. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Fed’s original guidance completely shut out many cities and counties from direct access to a key lending program. I'm glad they revisited this issue so now localities, like Baltimore City, will have direct access to this program. https://t.co/4KES33ZeaH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good news. They were in limbo but we just learned that thousands of evacuated Peace Corps volunteers who were required to return from overseas posts will qualify to receive unemployment compensation. I also hope they can return to their missions as soon as it is safe to do so! — PolitiTweet.org
