522,000 Marylanders applied for one-time student debt relief of up to $20,000. That's more than 8% of our population! Right now, Marylanders can't get that relief due to opponents blocking the program at the Supreme Court. A college degree should not mean a lifetime of debt. — PolitiTweet.org

This is your weekend reminder that abortion is health care. For the people living in states where their reproductive rights are being threatened, we see your fight and we stand with you. https://t.co/peLRQcSeBj — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @davidjtrone, @VanHollenForMD, @jessfitzwater and other community stakeholders in Frederick County for a roundtable discussion on how we can better serve Marylanders in crisis. https://t.co/4yzTWjGCZg — PolitiTweet.org

In February 2021, 39.1% of adults in Maryland reported symptoms of anxiety or depression and 31.3% were unable to get needed counseling or therapy. This is unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

The blood donation ban on gay men is rooted in the homophobic hysteria of the AIDS crisis. I assure you, if you ever need blood, the last thing on your mind will be the donor's sexual orientation. I am very pleased by @US_FDA’s updated guidelines. https://t.co/IPQbav9Gux — PolitiTweet.org

I join @POTUS in renewing the urgent call for Congress to pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act. There is a better way. Our communities deserve to be protected, not threatened by those sworn to uphold the law. #TyreNichols https://t.co/L3ud4LXzdn — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The @MEM_PoliceDept video is beyond disturbing. Such brutality cannot keep happening. Tyre Nichols should be home with his family. We share their outrage and grief, but can never fill the void that has been violently torn in their life. There must be accountability and justice. — PolitiTweet.org

@SenatorTimScott and I have introduced legislation that will expand the FICA tip credit to include salons. This will allow beauty service establishments to grow their businesses, enhance tax compliance and improve the accurate reporting of tips by employees. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

More than 80 percent of the country's 1.2 million beauty salons have 10 or fewer employees and the majority are owned and operated by women and minorities. We've heard from industry professionals and agree, the tax code needs a makeover. 💄💇‍♀️ — PolitiTweet.org

Honored to receive overwhelming support from my colleagues to continue as Chair for the @SenateSmallBiz. We are witnessing a historic rise in #entrepreneurship that has lifted individuals and communities across the country on pathways to prosperity. https://t.co/1WFFDHMOzP — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Big congressionally funded checks for big-impact #STEM programs at @hood_college and @MSMU. These institutions are innovating the STEM field in Maryland by expanding research facilities, workforce development and cutting-edge courses. https://t.co/6rFPEsRnEM — PolitiTweet.org

Talking about the Holocaust is hard, but the threat we face of not talking about it is far more fearful. #HolocaustRemembranceDay is about remembering the victims and education so that we can truly say #NeverAgain. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

This is why we recognize #HolocaustRemembranceDay. Each year we lose survivors, & it is up to us to make sure their stories are never forgotten. https://t.co/BpTNbRXyug — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

On this day, designated by the United Nations General Assembly as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the world comes together to remember the horrors of the Holocaust and educate others to ensure this history is never forgotten or repeated. #HolocaustRemembranceDay https://t.co/bYgHxzdWor — PolitiTweet.org

I am pleased that the U.S. has promised tanks to Ukraine and that Germany + others will do the same. https://t.co/VAKByceq93 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Russia started this war, and they are the one and only party responsible for aggression and escalation. I support giving #Ukraine what they need to defend their country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Allow me to brag once again about @MDPublicSchools students. This group of @RCMSHAWKS students was one of 60 winning teams @NASA chose who will get to test their experiment, “Entering the O-No Zone,” on a NASA-sponsored high altitude balloon flight this summer. Great work! 🚀 https://t.co/VkpuIlEjMD — PolitiTweet.org

Last time I checked, the bills we need to pay have already been passed + signed by POTUS. There’s a time & place to discuss spending in our regular budget process. Not now. We need to raise the #DebtCeiling to avoid a catastrophic default on the full faith and credit of the U.S. https://t.co/fAXq4ENJQ4 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Last time I checked, the bills we need to pay have already been passed and signed by the President. We need a bipartisan agreement to raise the #DebtCeiling to avoid a catastrophic default on the full faith and credit of the U.S. https://t.co/ZHOeVgJhMc — PolitiTweet.org

@RepKweisiMfume and I have introduced a bill that will authorize $150 million for witness protection programs for serious crimes. Witnesses and their families carry a heavy burden. It's our job to make sure they are protected from violence and intimidation. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Our judicial system is mighty, but delicate. At its core are people who are willing to do what's right. Witness testimony has helped put away some of the country's most prolific criminals, but there is a culture of fear that has long served as a deterrent to justice. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Corruption is the source of many of Vladimir Putin’s resources. But what’s done in the dark can come to light. I’m proposing legislation that would rank countries in a published report based on how well they’re fighting corruption. https://t.co/gllzNhMr2a — PolitiTweet.org

There's no time to waste. I'm standing with 39 of my Senate Democratic colleagues to support an Assault Weapons Ban and the Age 21 Act. https://t.co/mqyLZpmXQD — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The weapons used in the Monterey Park and Half Moon Bay mass murders have no legitimate civilian uses. These guns are weapons of war for the battlefield, allowing many rounds to be fired over a short period of time. — PolitiTweet.org

I’ve spoken with many restaurant owners who need a helping hand to keep their doors open. Funds ran out for the Restaurant Revitalization Fund, and they were left digging into their own pockets. Congress must act now to ensure we can save the restaurants we love. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

Three shootings in 44 hours. My deepest condolences go out to the victims, their loved ones and the Half Moon Bay community. It is excruciating to keep repeating this pattern. https://t.co/9TVva7wspy — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

The attack on reproductive healthcare on its own is disgraceful, but let's not forget -- most Americans believe that abortion should be legal.   I will continue to fight in this Congress for reproductive health. https://t.co/fzaKTWSIuu — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Ben Cardin @SenatorCardin

We've had more mass shootings than days so far in 2023. It's heartbreaking, unacceptable and uniquely American. With a new #Congress in session, it's time to build on last year's Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. https://t.co/v8nVcseyFm — PolitiTweet.org
