Senator Chris Van Hollen
@vanhollen.senate.gov
Americans are working harder & longer & still can't make ends meet. I'm proposing a bill to cut taxes for 130 million workers, paid for by a surtax on income over $1 million a year. It's time our tax code worked for working people & the wealthiest pay their fair share.

Today, Sec. Mullin conceded that DHS has made numerous false statements. That’s why independent investigations into the killings of Alex Pretti, Renee Good, & all victims of DHS's violence are necessary. But he won't give states access to critical evidence. What is DHS hiding?
Next week, Republicans will have another chance to vote with us to end the war in Iran. @sanders.senate.gov & I will also call for a vote to stop the sale of US taxpayer-funded weapons to the Netanyahu gov, which has used them in violation of international law. We must end these wars.
One year ago today, I met Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. As I said from day one, this case was never about one man, it was about all of us. If they can deprive him of his rights, they can deprive you of yours. One year on, they’re still trying but we’re still fighting.
Political violence has absolutely no place in our nation. Our democracy can only function when we resolve our differences peacefully. I am grateful to law enforcement for their swift response and that no one was seriously injured last night.
How is it Trump's nominee for the IAEA, a key nuclear inspection agency, didn't know that both the IAEA AND Trump's 1st Admin certified that Iran was in compliance with the JCPOA? The JCPOA was preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up & started a war.
This week, Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the so-called SAVE America Act, a bill designed to make it harder for certain citizens to vote in order to rig elections in their favor. This is a fraud masquerading as an election integrity effort. We can't let this pass.
4 years ago, then-Rep. Mike Waltz called on President Biden to make clear that Putin was an 'absolute war criminal.' Today, he refused to even utter those words himself. As one of Trump's top diplomats, his reversal speaks volumes.
Today, Sec Bessent revealed that the Trump Admin plans to send BILLIONS of dollars to help other countries keep their economies afloat while ignoring needs here at home. Once again, the 'America First' president is focused everywhere except the wallets of working Americans.
Hegseth is once again blowing smoke. Trump's & Netanyahu's illegal war of choice has made Americans worse off. A strategic blunder of epic proportions leaving Americans less safe and facing higher costs. We know we cannot trust Trump. Congress must act & end this war for good.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Katz said Israel would use the "Rafah" model in Lebanon. Earlier this month, the Trump Admin rushed a sale of over 20,000 bombs to the Netanyahu gov. Today, I asked the official who signed off on the transfer if it complies with US policy & intl law. He wouldn't answer.

Markuszower herhaalde vandaag wat hij eergisteren in de kamer zei: Mensen (kamerleden) die meeliepen met de Rode Lijn demonstratie, die (volgens hem) door Hamas is geïnfiltreerd, dan zeg ik hetzelfde: dan moet de overheid ook daar met desnoods maximaal geweld optreden.

Trump is to trying to put up to 170k people, including thousands of veterans, on the streets while he gives tax breaks to billionaires and giant corporations. This is unacceptable.
Yes. Trains mostly reduce highway traffic. Most people live in cities. Local traffic is a bigger issue. Especially school commutes. This is a Texas school pickup line vs a bike bus on a protected cycling network.

On Monday, Trump ran roughshod over intl law - the UK took no action. On Tuesday, Trump threatened a NATO ally - the UK took no action. Today, the UK supported Trump's military operation in the North Atlantic. When will this govt stop appeasing Trump and stand up for the rule of law?

Mullin's threat to end processing of international flights into sanctuary cities only punishes travelers. Gutting international service at major hubs will strand business travelers, military families, and many more travelers from both red AND blue states.
