U.S. Senator for Maryland

Glad to see a federal judge stop the Trump admin's illegal attempts to weaken anti-discrimination guardrails in housing.

Fair housing groups are essential to ensuring housing remains accessible to all.

HUD must promptly comply with this ruling & end these baseless attacks.

After our trip to the Gaza-Egypt border last year, @SenJeffMerkley & I released a report entitled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians."

Now the Israeli Min of Defense confirmed that's the goal.

We must end our complicity.

Glad the president is celebrating an important NASA achievement that he tried to kill.

Ever since his first term, Trump has tried to cancel the Roman Space Telescope. Time after time, Congress worked together to stop him. Looks like even he's glad we did.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

“Potentially millions of American voters may not receive their mail-in ballot this election cycle in a timely manner, or at all.”

This report from inside the Trump admin should terrify us all.

As we've warned for months, Trump wants to rig the midterms. The courts must clearly & forcefully reject this.

This $1 billion in dark money could've been stopped. In 2010 I wrote the DISCLOSE Act to end secret money in our elections. It passed the House, but Senate Republicans blocked it & continue to do so.

We must keep fighting. You have a right to know who's trying to buy your vote.

The White House, the Kennedy Center, Yosemite National Park — these symbols of America do not belong to any one person, they belong to the people.

Trump's attempts to desecrate them only show what a small, narcissistic man he is.

While Trump pushes to fast-track data centers, ratepayers across the PJM grid area are paying $37 BILLION more in their utility bills to subsidize the electricity needs of data centers.

Once again, Trump puts the billionaire class ahead of working people.

[Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins]

Trump says the only reason to oppose data centers is if communities want to be “backwards and poor.”

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Early in 2025, Hegseth asked top military leaders about cutting a program meant to protect civilians during war. No one thought it was a good idea. He did it anyway.

Hegseth's leadership has been a failure on every level; he needs to go NOW.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

After Trump's illegal Venezuela raid, I called it out for what it was: A reckless act of war to grab Venezuelan oil for US oil companies & Trump's billionaire buddies.

Now, the same people who said I was wrong then are celebrating Trump’s oil 'deal.'

It should outrage us all.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

This morning, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope began its 3 month journey deep into space.

Roman will catalog more information about our universe than humanity ever has & will answer questions we are yet to formulate. 

To the team at @NASAGoddard who made this all possible — thank you!

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

This man looks at our national treasures and — like everything else — all he sees are dollar signs. It’s a sickness.

This is big! A federal court just upheld Oregon's law to make polluters pay for the damage they’ve done.

Now we must pass my Polluters Pay Act & bring this model nation-wide.

It's simple: When polluters trash our environment, they should be the ones cleaning it up.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Let's be clear: this isn't a win. This is proof Trump put our service members at risk to get Venezuelan oil for his billionaire buddies. 

Putting our soldiers’ lives on the line for private profit is a gross dereliction of his constitutional duty.

This is the cost of RFK's conspiracy theories & this admin's attacks on evidence-based science.

26 years ago, the US eliminated measles. Now, in Maryland & across America, we're seeing outbreaks & we risk losing elimination status.

The measles vaccine is safe & effective. Period.

As corporate profits skyrocket, working people are being stiffed like never before.

Trump promised to tip the scales back towards working Americans. His admin's own data reveals the betrayal.

We need to shake up this rigged system & ensure working people get their fair share.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

This weekend, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be launched into space, where it will help us see more of our universe than ever before.

This wouldn't be possible without the incredible @NASAGoddard team, who spent the past 15 years designing, building, & testing Roman.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

Following last week's senseless SCOTUS ruling, this is an important step to curb Trump's fraudulent scheme to rig the midterm elections.

Trump has made it clear he wants to create chaos & suppress turnout in the hopes of clinging to power — we must keep fighting back.

Today marks 6 months since Trump & Netanyahu launched their illegal war of choice in Iran.

We've lost 18 US service members, hundreds have been injured, and thousands of civilians have been killed.

Meanwhile, prices here at home have skyrocketed.

This war needs to end, NOW.

[Senator Chris Van Hollen @ChrisVanHollen]

It's pretty simple. Your electricity bills will go up as the Trump administration takes away electricity supply in order to give a payday to one of Trump's cronies.

Once again, the American people lose, Trump's buddies win. Sums up this administration's policy.

More evidence we elected a toddler as president.
