On behalf of the Van Hollen family, Happy Holidays! We hope you’ll find time to rest, reflect, and rejuvenate as we head into 2019. And for those of you who cannot be with your families—including many of our troops—we express our gratitude and wish you a safe holiday season.pic.twitter.com/APBdETYCvf

The Trump Tax Plan—signed one year ago—did nothing to boost workers’ real wages. The promised $4,000 pay hikes never materialized. And now, a year later, Trump is furloughing more than 380,000 federal employees right before the holidays. This is Trump World.pic.twitter.com/EQaQPZYKeG

The government shuts down at midnight. I gave an update to @chrislhayes on the latest in our fight to keep the government open and ensure that federal employees are not punished for political dysfunction they had nothing to do with!pic.twitter.com/T7wLCaJO0k

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

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

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

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

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

There should be no reason why General Motors continues to use their profits to give billions to their executives and stockholders while laying off American workers.pic.twitter.com/m7FGZPdvVV

The Trump Tax Plan created new incentives to offshore American jobs. Is General Motors affected by these new incentives? Will they eliminate future stock buybacks? In light of the recent layoffs announced by the company, we need to get to the bottom of this.pic.twitter.com/0GWGWl1zn4

Open Enrollment ends December 15th. That means you only have a couple days left to sign up for health insurance. You can #GetCovered for as little as $50-$100 a month. Go to http://marylandhealthconnection.gov  today!pic.twitter.com/Sae5uEGvFz

Stock buybacks are now over $800B in 2018—enough to give more than $5,000 to every American payroll employee. Yet workers’ paychecks are barely keeping up. I raised this issue directly with SEC Chairman this week, who said he'd work with us on this issue. Let's keep up the fight.pic.twitter.com/Rya6HYIA1l

We've always made bipartisan agreements on border security—but President Trump refuses anything but an ineffective and costly wall. He says he'd be “proud” to shut down the government if he doesn’t get taxpayers to foot the bill. Didn’t he tell us Mexico was going to pay for it?pic.twitter.com/dUAU8rki8h

Americans are sick of all the secret, dark money pouring into our elections. I stood with @RonWyden and @SenatorTester on the vote to overturn @USTreasury's policy that would have eliminated the donor information that certain groups have to provide. Now the House must act!pic.twitter.com/yB6rdlfdlb

In June, a gunman opened fire at @capgaznews and murdered 5 Marylanders: Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Wendi Winters, and Rebecca Smith. The staff still put out a newspaper the next day. And as @chaseacook would say—they have put out a damn paper every day since.pic.twitter.com/tQfiHHzmht

I’m introducing the Keep Our PACT Act to support our nation’s students. This bill will establish a fiscally-responsible path to fully fund IDEA and other federal education funding commitments. It’s time we kept our promises to all our students.pic.twitter.com/6a37I2Ovmf

We are writing to @SecPompeo about violations of human rights, the breakdown in the rule of law, and elections fraud in Cameroon. We must hold the Cameroonian government accountable for its abuses, including through targeted sanctions and conditions on security assistance.pic.twitter.com/Z9VUebywFK

Today, we’ll sit down with General Motors Chairman and CEO Mary Barra. We plan to get answers as to why @GM wants to shut down their White Marsh plant and ask them to reconsider. I stand with the hundreds of Marylanders who work there and will keep fighting for their jobs.pic.twitter.com/dN2JRLPJb4

There's not a lot of Space between them anymore! Congratulations to @OSIRISREx on finally reaching asteroid Bennu—now it will survey the land for a sample to bring back to Earth for further examination. Maryland’s own @NASAGoddard is once again a leader in scientific discovery.pic.twitter.com/liU74PGSil
