On the Senate floor with @SenatorCardin to ask McConnell to bring our bill to guarantee back pay for furloughed federal workers to a vote. Federal workers deserve to know that if the Trump Shutdown happens they won’t be punished. pscp.tv/ChrisVanHollen…

President Trump said he would be “proud” to shut down the government. Now, as always, he wants to duck responsibility. He'll sow chaos across the country—all because he couldn’t keep his promise that Mexico—not taxpayers—would pay for his stupid wall. I'm coming back to vote NO. twitter.com/kylegriffin1/s…

Paul Ryan should be ashamed that in his final act as Speaker he has again become a pawn of President Trump. Why not allow a vote on a bipartisan Senate bill and let democracy work in the House? Why do the President’s bidding? This is a cowardly way to govern.

Mr. President, yesterday you said we had defeated ISIS. Today you say that Russia is unhappy because they will have to fight ISIS. The reality is Russia, Turkey, and others are happy you abandoned our key partners in the fight against ISIS, the Syrian Kurds. Weak. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…

We had a bipartisan vote in the Senate to keep the government open. In his final days, Speaker Ryan must do the right thing and let democracy work its will. House Republicans should not be minions of Trump, scampering down to the White House. Pass the bill and stop the shutdown! pic.twitter.com/PDCFmr1EJK

Trump has refused to provide federal employees with a modest cost of living increase. That’s why I am still pushing to get a COLA passed before January 1st. If that is blocked, then it should be a priority for early next year. Civil servants aren't the President’s punching bag.

It's been four years since I traveled to Cuba to bring @AlanPGross home. Even after five years in a Cuban prison, he never lost hope and was a catalyst for opening a new chapter with Cuba. Now he is fighting back against Trump’s efforts to reverse the progress that was made. pic.twitter.com/EO1KN9qH24

For all the cynicism about Congress being unable to accomplish anything, there was a little ray of light as we head into the New Year: the Senate took a positive step to reform our broken criminal justice system by passing the #FirstStepAct. nytimes.com/2018/12/18/us/…

.@ChrisVanHollen to Neil: This is not about whether we need border security, we need border security. It's about not wasting a lot of taxpayer money on something most people think is ineffective pic.twitter.com/Pyh1P3xG9U

The Senate Intelligence Committee released a bipartisan report that shows that Russia waged a “propaganda war against American citizens” and tried to suppress African American voters to help elect Donald Trump. For a year, I have pushed to pass the DETER Act, Let's get it done. twitter.com/nprpolitics/st…

We are working hard to avoid a shutdown. This isn’t about border security—which we support on a bipartisan basis. This is about not wasting taxpayer dollars on an unnecessary wall. I hope Trump has finally realized what a mistake it would be for him to shut down the government. pic.twitter.com/oeRyWGTTyi

This tells you everything you need to know about our President. He used his personal charity for private gain in what the authorities described as “persistently illegal conduct.” Now he is using the White House to enrich himself and his family.

Last year, I spoke to a crowd at @BowieState about our battle to protect the Affordable Care Act. Since then, we've stopped multiple attempts by Republicans to dismantle our health care system. Now, with the ruling from Texas, we must again unite to fight back. RT if you’re in. pic.twitter.com/3T0KC4PSHP

It's a good day for metro riders. We’re ending the inconvenient Grosvenor station turnaround. Now every Red Line train will go through to Shady Grove. This will help thousands of riders. Next, let’s end the Silver Spring turnaround so every train goes through to Glenmont. pic.twitter.com/JCogz4hDOf

The Senate just voted to move the #FirstStepAct forward. It’s an important step in our struggle to reform our broken criminal justice system. The final vote is expected tomorrow and I’ll oppose “poison pill” amendments so we can make sure it passes with strong bipartisan support.

Last week, I met with the terrific @PresBreaux, students, and faculty at @BowieState to learn more about innovative programs on campus, including the new opioid peer recovery training course in the Counseling Department and the cutting edge nursing simulation lab. Great visit! pic.twitter.com/7zyRbvw5rh

Keep speaking out about the corruption that plagues this Administration. Ryan Zinke was following the example of his boss, the President—abusing the public trust for their own personal benefit. Drain the Trump swamp! npr.org/2018/12/15/663…

The recent federal court decision is still moving through the courts, and the exchanges are still open for business and we will continue with Open Enrollment. There is no impact to your current coverage and your coverage in a 2019 plan.
