Deporting Dreamers like Jonathan Rodas from Towson, who are working on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19 isn’t just a violation of our promises to them—it is plain stupid. We have invested in them and when they succeed, we all win. https://t.co/qyjzbzudyP — PolitiTweet.org

Happening now: #HomeworkGap Twitter Townhall with @JRosenworcel. Tune in live. https://t.co/pqYljKIOQf — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Thanks to everyone who submitted questions for my #HomeworkGap Twitter Townhall with @JRosenworcel. We’ll be going live today at 4pm ET to answer as many as we can in the time we have. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today we remember the 1.5 million Armenians murdered by the Ottoman Empire. Last year, Congress officially recognized and remembered this crime against humanity by passing the #ArmenianGenocide resolution. The first step in learning from history is to recognize it. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Have heard from many Marylanders today having trouble accessing the state’s unemployment site. Been in touch with the MD Dept. of Labor to share those concerns and urge them to get it fully up and running. When you do file, your claim will be backdated to your eligibility date. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

On Monday at 4pm ET, I’ll be hosting a Twitter Townhall with @JRosenworcel about the urgent need to close the #HomeworkGap, which has been widened by the pandemic. Submit questions or your story here: https://t.co/mAq9CA7OBa. https://t.co/4NZJKm7onw — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Never knew we would have to say this to a president, but there is no place for "sarcastic" comments on drinking or injecting bleach to treat COVID-19. Americans are dying. Health care workers don’t have enough protective equipment. We don’t have enough tests. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Now the Trump Organization is asking the Trump Administration to give the Trump Hotel a break? This is a recipe for abuse of power and undue influence. We must shine a light to stop Trump from again using the government to advance his financial interests. https://t.co/dCLTpNNmdh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Another example of why Donald Trump is dangerous to our health: first he peddles unproven drugs and then removes those who focus on facts, not fiction. We are all paying the price for Trump’s quackery. https://t.co/fpfr8bQsqi — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This #EarthDay, we face a serious threat to progress: Trump. We must stop him from using this pandemic to weaken environmental laws and help Big Oil. Let’s unite the American people behind stopping climate change with the same spirit that created Earth Day 50 years ago. https://t.co/OLh8ZAmQke — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Even as many struggle to put food on the table, Republicans refused to include more nutrition assistance funding in Phase 3.5. But we’re not giving up and, as we push for more support, we’re asking Maryland to expand grocery delivery services for SNAP recipients. https://t.co/hARMib8l7t — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

While we can't gather in person for Days of Remembrance, we join together in virtual ceremonies around the world to remember the millions of lives lost and hear from survivors. We must always speak out against anti-Semitism and hate wherever it rears its ugly head. #WeRemember — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

GM should never have closed its White Marsh plant, but now they should reopen to manufacture ventilators. Hospitals tell us we require significantly more to help those in need. If they won’t act, we need to use the Defense Production Act to make it happen. https://t.co/BQWTf2b0ri — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Phase 3.5 is better than McConnell's offer that shortchanged small businesses and didn’t prioritize testing or public health. It gets more funds to small businesses that don’t have a big bank on speed dial. But we need to cut red tape, help local govs, and start on next bill now. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Republican politicians need to stop forcing Americans to risk their lives to exercise their right to vote! Every state needs a viable vote by mail option, as well as safe early and same-day voting. https://t.co/VgXb76UYkh — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Russia interfered in our 2016 elections to help Trump win, a conclusion reached by intel officials and the Republican-led Senate Intel Committee. Will my GOP colleagues convince McConnell to act to protect our future elections now? He’s been blocking the DETER Act for years. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As the pandemic continues, we can't afford to let struggling families go hungry. Need to further boost funding for nutrition assistance programs and expand grocery delivery for SNAP recipients to reduce risky trips to the store. We're fighting to do this. https://t.co/oP5WCFw8eb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

If Trump asks for an oil bailout, remind him of the favors he’s already done for them, including his ongoing effort to undo the safeguards put in place after the Deepwater Horizon disaster. As we’ve seen with COVID-19, we pay a huge price when he dismantles safety measures. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump is delusional when he says we have enough COVID-19 test equipment and that swabs are “easy to get.” Health experts say we need 500,000 tests/day nationwide to start reducing social distancing measures. Falling way short. Put DPA into overdrive for testing equipment now! — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Enough! From now on, during every Trump TV press appearance, the legitimate, fact-based news media must start running banners underneath that read: WARNING: this man is a proven, serial liar and listening to him can be hazardous to your health. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and I’d like to recognize all the 911 dispatchers in Maryland and across the country—your calm voice on the phone offers comfort and help, especially now. Thank you for the work you do. #NPSTW — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Public health leaders point out the risk in prisons and surrounding communities caused by COVID-19. We urge Governor Hogan to take additional steps to follow the recommendations of AG Frosh and medical experts to reduce the risk of spread and loss of life. https://t.co/lyU0O2dIMI — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

7,000+ Peace Corps volunteers were recalled and then left in the cold when they returned home. We should be doing everything in our power to enlist these patriotic leaders to help, along with other national service volunteers. That’s why @SenMarkey and I introduced the UNITE Act. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump has been warned by public health officials and businesses that a rush to end social distancing, without dramatically expanding testing, will have grave consequences. He must put the health of our country ahead of his desire to engage in an unconstitutional power grab. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

People all over the country are running into busy signals, huge backlogs, and delays when applying for unemployment benefits. We've urged @SecGeneScalia to step up and help, and are ensuring that @MD_Labor has the federal support it needs. Workers and families need help, fast. https://t.co/hv31NoWEto — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump’s plan to keep Americans safe during a pandemic? Weaken health regulations that prevent mercury poisoning. Trump’s math: more cases of child brain damage = more dollars into pockets of big polluters and their CEOs. https://t.co/0i7EIUbYF4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Finished up answering questions from Marylanders with @DrJoshS. In case you weren’t able to join, wanted to provide a few updates on the main issues we covered. We still have much work to get done. If you have questions, please visit https://t.co/IKWiDkdLyb. https://t.co/bAOFO3ydTQ — PolitiTweet.org
