Mitch McConnell has stated publicly that he will work in lockstep with the president, reject key witnesses, and not be an impartial juror. That’s why the Senate needs to have assurances of a fair trial before we receive the articles of impeachment from the House. https://t.co/AdgjvqZldZ — PolitiTweet.org

Trump loves to say that Republicans will go down in history as “the party of health care” but his DOJ is asking the courts to overturn the ENTIRE Affordable Care Act, which would deny access to millions and rip away protections for people with pre-existing health conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

Speaker Pelosi is absolutely right to consider withholding the articles of impeachment until the American public is guaranteed a fair trial in the Senate. If Republicans are going to call it a trial, then it has to be open and fair—not rigged from the start. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As the articles of impeachment now head to the Senate, we must demand a fair trial. From what I’ve seen over here, McConnell’s behavior is extremely worrisome and anything but impartial. I hope at least some Republicans will oppose his attempts to rig the trial. https://t.co/pCWI3vVTRp — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In yet another bizarre day in the Trump Winter Wonderland, the White House delivered their annual holiday package: An extremely oversized card, another small card, and…. his 6-page screed to @SpeakerPelosi where he goes off the deep end. You can’t make this stuff up. https://t.co/9TOHrNqR5V — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Fred and Cindy Warmbier have been essential partners in our effort to cut off North Korea’s illicit financial network and hold them accountable for their nuclear weapons program. Without them, we wouldn’t have been able to get the Otto Warmbier #BRINKAct across the finish line. https://t.co/lkB9n8wVMa — PolitiTweet.org

Patriots like Marie Yovanovitch, Laura Cooper, George Kent, and David Hale exemplify the integrity and excellence of our nation’s 2.1M federal workers. Our civil service system is a national treasure, and it’s up to us to defend it from political attacks. https://t.co/Aj6qjj0eaK — PolitiTweet.org

Today I stand with the Warmbier family, @SenToomey, @SenSherrodBrown, and @SenRobPortman to announce the passage of the Otto Warmbier #BRINKAct to put real teeth behind the sanctions on North Korea in order to denuclearize the Korean Peninsula. https://t.co/DMVTwIXzpY — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is way overdue, but for the first time in decades, Congress has agreed to fund gun violence research. While this is a small step, it's a sign that momentum is shifting on gun safety issues. Lesson: keep up grassroots pressure to save lives with sensible gun laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump can try to distract us with an unhinged letter, but Americans can see through it. If the President has nothing to hide, why is Mitch McConnell so determined to block key witnesses from coming forward? Why don’t they want the American people to see all the evidence? https://t.co/ww2sVTonnx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

McConnell had a choice—allow an impeachment trial based on the facts or join in the cover-up. With this, he clearly isn’t interested in a fair and honest process with relevant evidence and witnesses. This is shaping up to be a rigged sham rather than a fair “trial.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Nobody should be calling it an impeachment “trial” if McConnell rigs it for the Defendant. A fair trial requires that we see all relevant documents and hear from key witnesses—like Mulvaney and Bolton. GOP’s Hear Nothing, See Nothing approach is a violation of the public trust. https://t.co/w5oM5JwJFl — PolitiTweet.org

I attended my first #ArmyNavyGame game with my dad, who served in the Navy during World War II. Today, I’m at the game with my son, Alex, rooting for our home state Midshipmen. After the last 3 years, it’s high time we win this one for @NavyFB! #GoNavy #BeatArmy #BuiltDifferent https://t.co/5I1PnNEJwq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The American people deserve a fair impeachment trial in the Senate, not a rigged sham. But once again, Mitch McConnell is contracting out his constitutional responsibilities to President Trump. It’s a dereliction of duty. https://t.co/sXN2JGOsut — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The SEC handed a big policy win to big corporations but justified the decision by citing letters from “Main Street." But, those letters were actually orchestrated by the same corporations who stand to benefit most from the policy. Clayton was duped. The SEC IG must investigate. https://t.co/CHQPZV0aTc — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Glad that the Otto Warmbier #BRINKAct, the bill I authored with @SenToomey to increase economic pressure on North Korea, is in the final defense bill. No more photo-ops with Kim Jong-un. It is named after Otto Warmbier, who lost his life because of the regime’s brutality. https://t.co/vOYlffYfUK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The House passed historic legislation to reduce the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs, which have become unaffordable for far too many people across the country. McConnell should allow a vote in the Senate now. We cannot let him bury it in his legislative graveyard. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Today, after years of trying, the Senate passed a resolution recognizing the awful reality of the #ArmenianGenocide. We must not turn away from history. We must confront it and learn from it. I salute all who have fought for the truth to prevail. https://t.co/4mfOcL0yEy — PolitiTweet.org

Key provisions of the Valor Medals Review Act, which @RoyBlunt and I introduced, have been included in the defense bill so that minority veterans—like William Butler—who served during WWI but were denied the honors they deserved, will finally be recognized.https://t.co/3li6nNtnBe — PolitiTweet.org

We’re lucky to have Col. McGee, one of the surviving Tuskegee Airmen, call Maryland home. We can never fully repay McGee for his work, but I’m proud to announce—just after he turned 100—that our measure to promote him to Brigadier General has been included in the defense bill. https://t.co/vMUL3ZuC0L — PolitiTweet.org

The Foreign Relations Committee just voted to sanction Turkey for attacking our Syrian Kurdish allies, which has given new oxygen to ISIS. I’ve been fighting for action since day one and will continue to push McConnell to stop covering for Trump + Erdogan—and allow a full vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Calling FBI agents “scum” is not only despicable—it's dangerous. This is the kind of reckless rhetoric that can incite violence against federal law enforcement officials or other public servants. Silence from Republican senators is complicity. https://t.co/BICT6uwRO7 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

An important victory for the rule of law. Trump clearly exceeded his authority when he raided funds appropriated by Congress for military construction projects—including 3 in Maryland—to spend on his border wall (yes, the one he said Mexico would pay for). https://t.co/jOHXO6Y2zI — PolitiTweet.org
