While it shouldn’t have gotten this far, this is welcome news. It shows that when Republicans in Congress tell Trump no, they can stop him.
Americans will judge them based on whether they use this power to stop Trump’s other disasters, like the war in Iran.

Happy Pride!
Even as our protections are being challenged and our stories censored, I want every person in the LGBTQ+ community to find an opportunity to celebrate their courage and strength this June.
Shoutout to @repbeatty.bsky.social.
As an ex officio member of the Kennedy Center board, she sued over Trump’s move to name the cultural institution after himself and close it for “renovations” without the input of the American people… and she won!
Pam Bondi and the Department of Justice are STILL covering up these files on behalf of the Epstein class.
We WILL get answers on Trump’s friendship with Jeffrey Epstein. The American people rightfully are demanding them.
It’s not just Trump who’s responsible for all this mess - it’s his enablers too.
At the most recent cabinet meeting, they went around and fell over themselves to fawn over this flawed man. It was honestly disgusting and resembled authoritarian countries around the world and throughout history.
I’m sick and tired of the Trump family using the United States Treasury as their personal piggy bank.
Imagine all the people they could help with $620 million.
I just read a disturbing article from @propublica.org. A woman in Arkansas was facing a miscarriage and was refused care that doctors knew she needed because of the state’s abortion ban.
Politicians need to get themselves out of the hospital room and we need to end this awful patchwork of policies.
Skipping meals to afford health care, if it’s even affordable at all. Utility bills through the roof. Inflation up. Consumer sentiment down.
This is the Trump Economy.
As a former history teacher, I can tell you it’s going to take us generations to come back from where we are right now. The damage to our democracy is that profound.
But if we really put in the work, we can and will come back.
Hardworking Americans are pleading with Congress to lower their cost of living.
My Democratic colleagues and I have a laundry list of policies that could do it. But what are Republicans going to do when we're back in DC?
Funnel $70 billion MORE to ICE and CBP instead.
Let’s talk a little about Gen Z and the financial burdens they’re facing, starting with housing. The cost of owning a home has shot way up while salaries haven’t kept pace.
We need to offer real solutions to this problem - the time for sweeping it under the rug is over.
Last week, the criminal charges brought by the Trump admin against Kilmar Abrego Garcia were dismissed by a federal judge because of their “vindictiveness.”
The Trump admin is hoping we forget about these cases. But we have to stay vigilant and stay loud.
Trump and his family are yet again forcing what should be an important watchdog agency to do their corrupt bidding.
They’re raking in money through fraud and abuse in crypto and prediction markets, while you struggle with higher costs. It’s rigging the system in real time.
The quickest way to stop Trump’s corrupt insurrectionist slush fund is for Republicans to stand up for themselves for once and stop it.
We hear them expressing their discomfort behind closed doors or anonymously in the media. But it’s time for them to put their money where their mouths are.
Today in Vermont and across our country, we honor the countless brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our nation and secure our freedom.
Wishing you a very meaningful Memorial Day.
In case you missed it, Trump’s been buying and selling HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS in stocks while your costs are through the roof. These are companies whose executives he just brought to China.
Absolutely stunning corruption each and every day. Americans deserve better.
It’s a gloomy day here in Vermont but I’m reflecting on some signs of hope from this past week in DC.
They’re small, too late, and not enough, but they represent things we can build off of in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
