During this time of extreme conflict in Ethiopia no one residing in the US should have to return there. That’s why this is a key step by @DHSGov as we also welcome the news that the Africa Union will convene peace negotiations. All sides should immediately enter into a ceasefire. QT @DHSgov: Today, DHS announced the designation of Ethiopia for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 18 months for individuals… https://t.co/oWq2p8uvtF)
Great speaking to Ukrainian Ambassador @OMarkavora about ongoing efforts to hold Russia accountable. @SenToomey & I welcome her support of the sanctions plan we put forward to enforce the price cap on Russian oil to deprive Putin of profits that fuel his war machine. QT @OMarkarova: 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸 I had a great phone conversation with @SenToomey and @chrisvanhollen to discuss their idea of enhancing sanctions on russian.)
When Putin began his invasion, brave Ukrainians, like Oleksandr, didn’t hesitate to join the frontlines. But shortly after deploying, Olkesandr was injured. He’s now receiving dedicated care right here in MD. Check out this story from @wbaltv11 to learn more about his journey. https://t.co/atT9cJxFmT
Enforcing limits on women's freedom & choice has long been a favored form of control of tyrants & extremists on the right. Mahsan Amini's death at hands of Iranian regime has triggered a deep pent-up anger that force can't erase. All people deserve freedom, dignity & respect. https://t.co/D91Nt1ByyO
Senator Van Hollen Speaks on the Senate Floor https://t.co/jjS27Va6Cs
Millions of formerly incarcerated Americans are held back from obtaining jobs, housing & opportunity. Glad to see @HouseJudiciary pass @RepDavidTrone bill that I have introduced in the Senate to remove barriers for these Americans toward successful reentry. Now Senate must act! QT @HouseJudiciary: BREAKING: @HouseJudiciary has PASSED H.R. 5651, the Fresh Start Act of 2022. https://t.co/xN4SwcuGLu)
No American with sickle cell disease should struggle to get the full scope of care they need. That’s why today, @SenBooker & I are introducing the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers Act w/ @RepBarbaraLee & @RepDannyDavis to close gaps in care. https://t.co/zpJ9Rdtcws
No American with sickle cell disease should struggle to get the full scope of care they need. That’s why today, we’re introducing the Sickle Cell Disease Treatment Centers Act w/ @RepLee & @RepDannyDavis to close gaps in care. Tune in LIVE. https://t.co/zpJ9RdtKm0
For yrs @CivicWorksInc has provided workers w/ the skills to make our homes more energy efficient. Now, w/ the Inflation Reduction Act, orgs like this can train more workers & more MDers can afford to retrofit their homes & save $ on their energy bills using clean energy rebates. https://t.co/y0vYvYRSmq
With the Inflation Reduction Act we’re bringing transformative change to our communities, from helping seniors afford their Rx drugs to reducing folks’ energy bills through clean energy upgrades. It was great to join MDers today to celebrate what this bill does for MD and USA. https://t.co/fHjUCX61IX
With the new #988 lifeline – a direct call line for those who need mental health support – we’re working to save lives in MD & across America. It was great to meet with local stakeholders leading this effort & discuss how we can make full use of this crucial resource. https://t.co/ya6Y5t4vIa
This weekend’s loss of life – from Illinois to our region – marks yet another series of tragedies that the painful toll gun violence is taking on our communities. We must never normalize the unacceptable and never rest until we end these senseless killings.
The @USCG's motto is Semper Pratus–“always ready.” But MD’s Coast Guard Yard is in desperate need of upgrades to meet the needs of the future. W/ the plan we just intro’d, we can repair ships in the fleet today & build state-of-the-art ships that will keep America safe tomorrow. https://t.co/agniJqOdPZ
Congratulations to Myles Frost on his TONY win! From @BowieState to the big stage, it’s great to see your success! https://t.co/MAGIjqJCwN
I’m closely monitoring the shooting in Smithsburg, and my office has been reached out to local officials to learn more and to offer our support.
As folks in Maryland know, when Senator Barb is with you, the Force is with you. Her legacy of fighting for Marylanders & our nation lives on throughout the halls of the Capitol – which is why our dedication of the new Mikulski Room in the Senate today was so fitting. https://t.co/NvR0fFkoeW
Renewable energy, like solar, is key to a clean energy future. That’s why I’ve urged the Admin to break through the supply bottleneck that’s hampering growth & investment in solar right now, incl. suspending tariffs that⬆️$ of solar panels.

RT @JessicaASmith8: .@ChrisVanHollen: “In a market system, it’s a market failure if people who want to work can’t find a job. @RonWyden: “We’re going to be going through the tax code with a fine-tooth comb." https://t.co/Ls1lKlPZh2
When you have a tax system where hardworking, every day Americans pay their fair share and big corporations get away with paying next to nothing ... that’s when you know the system is broken. It’s past time we fix it. https://t.co/6T0xrdJJtH
It's fitting that 1 week before we vote on historic confirmation of Judge Jackson @SenatorCardin & I presented @dralhathaway & local leaders w/ $1 million fed funds to transform the vacant W. Baltimore bldg where Justice Thurgood Marshall went to school into a community center. https://t.co/8i5hhZ8T12
Our economy has recuperated more than 90 percent of the 22 million jobs lost at the peak of the pandemic — far exceeding forecasters' original expectations. #BidenBump Jobs added: 431,000 Unemployment rate: Down to 3.7%
You can’t make this up! Yesterday Trump went on right-wing TV and asked Putin to release info on Biden’s son. Then Russian state-controlled TV called on Americans for 'regime change' to bring back Russia's friend Trump! No wonder Liz Cheney calls them the “Putin wing" of the GOP.

RT @HuffPost: The Supreme Court nominee is a board member at Georgetown Day School, where students are taught about racism. https://t.co/T5XIGrTzN5
Despite previous bipartisan support, Republicans are attacking Judge Jackson’s impeccable record & extensive experience, with a barrage of irrelevant, politically-motivated questions. Both Judge Jackson & the American people deserve better.
This is an important first step by the S.E.C. It is impossible to ignore the risks presented by the warming of the planet. Greenhouse gas emissions and climate change exposure are factors that should be disclosed and accounted for. https://t.co/QtEokLhSCf
#IWD2022 we honor the strength and bravery of women across the globe who too often bear the brunt of war, pandemic & inequality but standup everyday to advance positive change in their societies. Their voices & undaunted spirit are a vital force for a better, more equitable world https://t.co/29lYlNTeQg
Monday's UN climate report warned the accelerating impact of climate change risks outpacing our ability to control it. Yet this case seeks to kneecap EPA's authority to set standards for big carbon emitters! We can't afford to lose this race against time https://t.co/g8IU3yKlpM

Now more than ever, Americans need a Supreme Court that will uphold the promise of equal justice under law. Judge Jackson is the right person for this job. I look forward to the Senate’s role in reviewing and confirming @POTUS' historic choice. ⤵️ https://t.co/Cwii3m32ig

Today @POTUS has selected a highly regarded justice and the first former public defender to serve on our highest court. This is a historic nominee at a critical moment in our history.

I’m very proud to receive this endorsement from Chesapeake Climate Action Network in my re-election and to continue championing action to address climate change and protect our environment, the Chesapeake Bay and our natural resources against powerful special interests.@CCAN https://t.co/iM5cNU1s6B
This week @ewarren, @SenBlumenthal, and I urged @usedgov to take more action to support the millions of student loan borrowers who were cheated by Navient’s predatory practices. While the historic settlement of this case will bring financial support to many, we must do more. https://t.co/dWYdYtgfic
Thanks to the transformative investments in the #AmericanRescuePlan, our economy is roaring back. The economy added 467k jobs in January – despite the challenges of omicron. This is the momentum we need to get our economy fully back on track!
The Senate can waive the filibuster rules to pass major policies under reconciliation, like the Trump Tax Scam in 2017. And yet we can’t waive the filibuster to protect the right to vote. How does that make sense? It doesn’t. https://t.co/BuTu7QwG0t
Proud to join leaders of MD's great HBCUs, @DepSecGraves, @MayotBMScott, & others in Baltimore today to celebrate #MLK and focus attention on important progress we are making with the help of the #AmericanRescuePlan to close the #DigitalDivide and bring equity to our communities.

The mail delays Marylanders experienced over the last year are unacceptable. The good news is that all the pressure we brought to bear on the Post Office has resulted in many positive changes. Much work still to do, but finally seeing progress. https://t.co/wgCc9GS3c7
Was great to have @POTUS in Baltimore today to discuss the #BuildBackBetter agenda, and thank you Mr. President for letting me hitch a ride back to D.C. with you on Marine One. Great view of the Capitol! https://t.co/BriqnELJok
It was great to welcome @POTUS to the @portofbalt today to highlight what the infrastructure modernization bill means for Maryland workers and families. Together with the #BuildBackBetterBill we’ll boost good-paying jobs and cut costs for all Americans. https://t.co/7La7rdkcV6

I strongly condemn the military coup in Sudan. The Sudanese people demanded democracy 2 years ago & the military must respect the constitution. The U.S. must hold coup leaders accountable. As Chair of the @SFRC Subcommittee on Africa, I'm monitoring this situation closely.
