Sen. Chris Van Hollen told Breaking Points he does not accept AIPAC money and says Democrats should be held accountable for failing to challenge U.S. support for Israel’s assault on Gaza. Looking ahead to the 2028 U.S. presidential race, he says it should matter where candidates for the highest office “stood on this question of conscience.” Senator Chris Van Hollen | Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

Sen. Chris Van Hollen traces his worldview to growing up overseas in a U.S. diplomatic family, and to witnessing firsthand the consequences of American power. He recalls traveling as a young Senate staffer into Kurdish areas near Iraq’s border after Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons, at a time when the U.S. had backed Baghdad. “I believe in the power of America’s example, not just the power of our military,” Van Hollen told Breaking Points, warning that U.S. hypocrisy—then and now—has lasting consequences.

🎥 “If we’ve learned anything, it should be that you cannot transform a society by force,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen told Breaking Points, warning of the long record of U.S. regime-change failures. The Trump administration, he said, has dropped even the pretense of values-based foreign policy. “If you look at what’s happening across the Middle East and the Gulf states, the corruption is just so gross. Everything they touch, they try to transform into dollars for Trump, his family, and his billionaire buddies.” “In the case of Venezuela, it really is about the oil,” he added.

Sen. Chris Van Hollen pointed to Pakistan as a stark example of U.S. hypocrisy in foreign policy, citing Washington’s backing of military rule after Imran Khan’s removal. “It’s hard to call Pakistan a democracy,” he said, acknowledging it as one of several examples where U.S. is “saying one thing and doing another.” Under Trump, he added, even the pretense is gone: “You have an administration that just very explicitly has thrown the whole idea that America stands for these principles overboard,” a double standard that “undermines our strength around the world, especially in the Global South.” Senator Chris Van Hollen | Ryan Grim | Krystal Ball

🚙 Speech - Detroit, Michigan | Sen. Chris Van Hollen delivered his first stump speech for Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed in Ferndale on Saturday, urging voters to elect a senator willing to “rock the boat” and confront powerful interests. Here’s what Sen. Van Hollen, who is himself weighing a 2028 presidential run, discussed in his speech supporting El-Sayed: 🔹 Outside money: Van Hollen said up to $60 million in super PAC spending is flooding the primary. “This is not charitable giving,” he said. “They’re afraid of Abdul.” 🔹 Israel and foreign policy: Van Hollen said US tax dollars should fund schools and healthcare, “not send billions” to Netanyahu’s government as it continues to “wreak havoc in Gaza and on the West Bank.” He said AIPAC is spending roughly $30 million because it wants a senator who will continue approving that aid, declaring: “Enough is enough.” He also called the US war against Iran “illegal.” 🔹 Healthcare: He backed Medicare for All, saying healthcare dollars should fund patients and prevention, not middlemen, hedge funds and corporate profits. 🔹 Cost of living: He called for a billionaire wealth tax and backed legislation preventing households from paying higher electricity bills to power data centers owned by some of the world’s richest corporations. 🔹 Big Pharma and labor: Van Hollen said taxpayers should not “pay twice” for publicly funded drug research and then face the world’s highest prices. He also highlighted El-Sayed’s support from the UAW and National Nurses United. 🔹 ICE: No Recalling his fight to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia from imprisonment in El Salvador, Van Hollen said Democrats need leaders who confront ICE rather than thank it. 🎥Full rally and speech from The Midwesterner is in the post below.

Democrat U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen Senator Chris Van Hollen told Loomer Unleashed Charles R Downs he had no regrets about being an early supporter of Abdul El-Sayed Dr. Abdul El-Sayed despite Hasan Piker hasanabi’s “America is worse than al-Qaeda” statements and Abdul’s choice to make Hasan Piker his top campaign surrogate. Even more disturbing is that Van Hollen told us: “Abdul will be a great U.S. Senator.” If the Democrats win the midterms, Van Hollen would become one of the most powerful senators on Capitol Hill. Why would anyone vote to empower Chris Van Hollen?

Democrat Chris Van Hollen is lying to you. Republicans voted to cut the waste, fraud, and abuse in healthcare that Democrats let carry on for years. Van Hollen is voting to shut down the government because he wants to defund law enforcement and continue taxpayer-funded fraud.
