Republicans are trying to jam a bill through the Senate that:
-Cuts $900B from Medicaid
-Kicks millions off their health care
-Raises grocery costs for 40 million Americans
-Adds $4.2T to the deficit
All to cut taxes for billionaires. Rotten to its core.

This is a fraud on the American people that would make even the Enron scammers blush. Senate Republicans are violating the rules to hide the cost of their plan and bankrupt the country — all to give tax cuts to billionaires.
Wonder why Republicans are working so hard to pass their billionaire tax giveaway as fast as they can? It's because they know the American people are quickly learning about the bill — and hating it more and more every day.
Their bill is aging like a rotting fish.
We should all be disgusted by the flood of anti-Muslim remarks spewed in the aftermath of Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the NYC mayoral primary — some blatant, others latent.
Shame on the members of Congress who have engaged in such bigotry and anyone who doesn’t challenge it.
Republicans just voted to advance their big, ugly betrayal of a bill — which is now loaded with so much other junk that they don't even KNOW what’s in it.
Well guess what: we're going to force them to read every damn word.
And then we're going to fight it in every way we can.
Today marks seven years since we lost Gerald Fischman, Rob Hiaasen, John McNamara, Rebecca Smith, and Wendi Winters to a senseless, horrific act of gun violence at the Capital Gazette.
We will never forget them — and we can never stop fighting for a world without these terrible tragedies.
The guy who ran on “law and order” just fired more attorneys who prosecuted people for assaulting police officers.
This administration doesn’t give a damn about the law or law enforcement. It’s all politics. What a dangerous farce.
Senate Republicans are working furiously tonight and over the weekend to gut Medicaid and kick millions of Americans off their health care — all to help pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
We are doing all we can to STOP this abomination of a bill.
Outrageous. Yesterday the Trump admin announced $30 million for GHF — the shadowy group at the center of the scheme to replace humanitarian aid orgs in Gaza with mercenaries, leading to the killing of starving civilians trying to collect food.
Taxpayers shouldn't be paying for this outrage.
The death of DOGE can’t come soon enough. It has done nothing to make government more efficient but has taken a chain saw to programs important to every community in our country.
May it RIP — Roast in Purgatory.
This week I met with families of firefighters who gave their lives to keep Americans safe.
We must honor their sacrifice with action — including passing the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act to expand benefits for families of firefighters who were victims of service-related cancers.
Trump's Iran strike was unconstitutional and ignored his Admin's own intelligence.
Tune in as I discuss why we must pass @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to uphold our Constitution and stop any further efforts by Trump to drag us into this conflict:
The Trump-packed SCOTUS—like the Republican Congress—is ceding its constitutional duties to a lawless, authoritarian president.
The dissent is right: “No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.”
Buried in the Republicans' billionaire tax giveaway is a special interest provision that would essentially ban states from regulating AI for a decade.
This is a dangerous proposal that has nothing to do with taxes. It cannot become law.
Today marks 10 years since the historic Obergefell v. Hodges decision guaranteed marriage equality nationwide.
As extremists continue to attack equal rights, we can never stop fighting to protect the right of everyone to be who they are and love who they love.
My telephone town hall with @alsobrooks.senate.gov is getting underway.
Tune in as we take questions from Marylanders about how we're fighting this terrible Republican bill that takes health care from millions to help pay for billionaire tax cuts:
Nothing I learned from the briefing today would justify President Trump’s decision to bomb Iran or his failure to obtain Congressional approval as required by the Constitution.
My full statement:
Today @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I are taking questions from Marylanders about the GOP's billionaire tax giveaway and attacks on health care — and how we're fighting back.
Tune in at 5:30: vanhollen.senate.gov/live
The Trump Admin continues to attack our independent judiciary — this time taking the unprecedented step of suing every federal judge in Maryland.
I made clear to AG Bondi yesterday: the DOJ is aiding and abetting Trump's assault on due process and our Constitution. We cannot stand for it.
The Republican tax plan would take health care from millions and add $4.2T to the deficit — to help finance billionaire tax cuts.
Tomorrow @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I are answering questions from Marylanders about this bill and how we're fighting back.
