I’ve had enough of Republican leadership blocking legislation to protect our elections and spinning Putin’s talking points. That’s why I’m on the floor with @SenSchumer to demand the passage of the bipartisan DETER Act. We can’t afford to wait any longer. https://t.co/dGif3Rhzr6 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Good first step! The federal government will finally provide paid parental leave to its workforce. We’ve been fighting for years to obtain paid family and medical leave for ALL workers, and we will keep fighting until everyone receives these benefits. https://t.co/gODhzK5EIH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

In case you missed this exciting piece of news, @MorganStateU became the first Maryland HBCU to lead the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! You won’t want to miss the Magnificent Marching Machine’s performance. https://t.co/judsIQItH2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump’s attack on his handpicked FBI Director Chris Wray is another despicable attack on both the truth and the professional men and women in federal law enforcement. Every day this president provides more evidence that he is unfit for office. https://t.co/cvCJqDUdzj — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This report debunks Trump’s spurious claims that he was the target of a political conspiracy and witch hunt. He will, of course, try to spin some errors by the FBI to claim otherwise. Meanwhile, Barr should stop covering up for Trump and stick with facts. https://t.co/Zwnr0ns5ov — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

One of my biggest takeaways from Trump’s reckless performance at NATO last week? This isn’t just about kowtowing to Erdogan, it’s about aiding and abetting Putin’s strategic efforts to undermine and divide NATO. Very dangerous. https://t.co/mRMXyH97as — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Violence Against Women Act has been sitting in the Senate for months. Why? Because Republicans don’t support a provision that would prohibit domestic abusers from obtaining guns. Last time I checked, senators were elected by the American people, not the NRA. Let’s vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Happy 100th Birthday to Col. McGee—an aviation legend, trailblazer, and Maryland hero. I’ve worked to pass a resolution in the Senate to give him an honorary promotion in recognition of his achievements and I’m pushing for its inclusion in the defense bill.https://t.co/Le2plyZrPg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I was proud to join our veterans and the St. Mary’s community for the launch of Maryland’s newest Community-Based Outpatient Clinic. We now have 13 CBOCs in different parts of Maryland to ensure that all our veterans have access to reliable health care. Working to open more. https://t.co/brEZ1j596G — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Every Member of Congress should be fighting to make it easier—not harder—to vote. That’s why Mitch McConnell should bring the Voting Rights Advancement Act up for a vote in the Senate immediately. #HR4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Elijah reminded us that “our children are the living messages we send to a future we will never see.” True to his word, he helped create a nonprofit to give Baltimore's future leaders the skills they need to succeed. I urged them to be active participants in our democracy. https://t.co/w5j6BMDctP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

The Senate has finally passed a bipartisan compromise to renew funding for HBCUs—including 4 in Maryland. Republicans should never have let this funding expire months ago, but I’m glad we were able to secure $255M for these colleges and take steps to simplify the FAFSA process. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump is taking active steps to make it harder to sign up for health insurance during Open Enrollment. The best way to stop the sabotage efforts is to remind folks that they can still sign up for insurance until December 15th. RT to spread the word. https://t.co/nSkVb6dXaN — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

No one is above the law, even the President of the United States. @SpeakerPelosi is now proceeding with articles of impeachment. This is a somber moment for our country, and I urge all my colleagues to commit to a fair process that honors our constitutional responsibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump plans to cut off food assistance for nearly 700,000 Americans. I wrote to demand they reverse course but instead, they’re continuing to push policies that will cause people to suffer the painful consequences of preventable hunger. We must overturn this cruel measure. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

For the past year, @BrianFrosh and I have been hosting Consumer Protection Forums across Maryland. Most recently, we spoke to constituents at the Westminster Senior and Community Center about steps they can take to avoid becoming victims of various scams. https://t.co/bOvbT5Ok2z — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

It would be unjust and unwise for us to split up families and deport TPS recipients who are living and working legally in the U.S.—many for over 20 years. They are contributing to our economy and paying taxes. That’s why we rallied for the SECURE Act today. Justice will triumph. https://t.co/o9U5F7j12h — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Presidents of both parties have pursued greater burden sharing, but NATO is about much more than that. Our alliance is about shared values and shared security. Trump has consistently failed to reaffirm both. As today demonstrated, our allies are looking elsewhere for leadership. https://t.co/ONFhrVDcVF — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

I enjoyed hearing from students at the Community College of Baltimore County-Essex. They inspired me with their stories, but many are struggling to balance their classwork with the need to work long hours to make ends meet. We discussed ways we can do more to help them succeed. https://t.co/rN3UmB3GtA — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Secretary Pompeo concedes that U.S. law requires that we sanction Turkey for its purchase of the Russian-made S-400. The time for patience has long expired. Now Erdogan is threatening to block NATO’s defense plan for the Baltics and Poland. Trump needs to stop appeasing Erdogan. https://t.co/eT3qUfIf1V — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

As this Washington Post Editorial indicates, I have asked Republican Leader McConnell a simple question: Why are you blocking the bipartisan measure to deter Russian interference in our upcoming elections? Defending our democracy should be part of the defense authorization bill. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

On this day, let us give special thanks to the patriots risking their careers to tell the truth for the good of our democracy, those caring for neighbors in need, and those serving our country far from home—like this @MDNG unit I met last month in Afghanistan. Happy Thanksgiving! https://t.co/b2Phiv0lnS — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

There is no doubt that the Trump Administration’s withholding of funds for Ukraine violated the Impoundment Control Act—and we now have more evidence that this illegal act was ordered by President Trump via Mick Mulvaney. https://t.co/7OAJ7oM9mb — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Maryland has terrific lacrosse teams and we're proud that our state is home to the @USLacrosse HQ. Located in Baltimore County, the facility attracts players and visitors from across the world. Not to date myself but we've come a long way since my days playing with wooden sticks! https://t.co/AHlFPwDIbz — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Mallows Bay in Charles County was recently designated a National Marine Sanctuary—the first in 19 years. It's a big win for Maryland, ensuring that this beautiful Potomac River home to the “ghost fleet” is preserved. It will attract new visitors and boost the local economy. https://t.co/Bso2wumKsP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Trump’s claim of absolute immunity was always laughable—but now a federal judge has torn up his defense. While Trump is sure to appeal, the die is cast on this question. Former WH officials can’t ignore congressional subpoenas because Trump tells them to. No one is above the law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

Two weeks after his WH visit, Erdogan is thumbing his nose at Trump, the U.S. + NATO, and crossing another red line on S-400s. Existing law requires Trump to impose sanctions. Pompeo must also confront Turkey about its latest ‘safe zone’ violations and attacks against the Kurds. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

House Republicans have been spreading Putin’s lies that Ukraine—not Russia—interfered in the 2016 election. Now the virus is infecting some GOP senators. Tell them to read the bipartisan report of their own Senate Intelligence Committee. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

This is what democracy looks like. A 70% voter turnout, including lots of young people, pushing back against authoritarian rule. A good example of the power of the people to stand up for their rights and we must stand with them. https://t.co/rqAAPULRA8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen

And guess who is helping spread this disinformation campaign? This week, the Trump campaign sent out an email pushing the false narrative that Ukraine, not Russia, meddled in the 2016 elections. House Republicans amplified it as Putin’s mouthpieces. We must hold them accountable. — PolitiTweet.org
