Let's talk about the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a 1994 law enacted because patients, doctors, and nurses were being killed at clinics.
Republicans in Congress are now trying to repeal it. They don't want us to be able to safely access health care.

After 104 days, Mahmoud Khalil is free. Despite Donald Trump and Marco Rubio's illegal efforts, the First Amendment lives another day.
This is reckless, illegal action from the president. He does NOT have the authority to enter us into a war with Iran. He MUST consult Congress. This is not what Americans want. I’m thinking about our troops tonight.
I asked Lina Khan what she wants people to remember about this moment.
This is the truth about Trump’s mass deportation campaign.
Every parent wants to keep their child healthy and determine with their doctors the best healthcare choices for their family. Limiting access to health care is not only draconian, dangerous, and hateful. I want families who are feeling scared today that I’m with you, I’m fighting for you.
Trump's plan to kill national abortion rights essentially worked: 13 states have complete bans on abortion. Now Republicans want to repeal the one law we have to protect access to reproductive health care, the FACE Act, which keeps women and doctors safe at their appointments.
Hundreds of fed up Vermonters came out to Taylor Park in St. Albans to protest. Whether you came with a sign, cheered in the crowd, drove by and honked — your voice was heard loud and clear! I’m here so we can fight alongside one another to save our democracy.
Burlington, over 16,000 of you mobilized and showed up to the beautiful waterfront to protest Trump and any authoritarianism in this country.
We're turning anger and anxiety into action. Trump cannot look away. This democracy is OURS.
During Gun Violence Awareness Month, I want to bring attention to something that Republicans slipped into the reconciliation bill in the middle of the night:
Deregulating gun silencers.
This is going to make us all less safe.
Grateful to catch up with Mohsen Mahdawi at the No Kings rally in Burlington.
Mohsen, Vermont stands with you!
For 13 years, #DACA has transformed lives, communities, and our country. Permanent legislative protections for DACA recipients, Dreamers, and immigrant youth benefit us all by ensuring our cities, neighborhoods, and homes can be stable and whole. I stand with immigrants.
I am horrified to hear this news and utterly heartbroken for the families of Democratic lawmakers Melissa Hortman and John Hoffman.
Trump and Republican leaders must denounce political violence in all forms. Stoking the flames of hate has deadly consequences.
I sat down with Lina Khan, one of our nation's biggest champions for fighting corporate greed and the former chair of the FTC.
If you feel like corporations are ripping you off, or that the economy is rigged against you, you're not imagining it. It's real.
It’s time we take on corporate power.
Vermont, tomorrow is a day to get out and send a message to the Trump administration:
No kings in America.
There are rallies and marches happening in towns across the state to defend our democracy. I'll be in Jamaica, Burlington, and St. Albans. See you out there!
Israel’s strikes on Iran now risk an out of control regional war. Trump’s recklessness and poor diplomacy adds to the danger and precariousness of this situation.
The Trump Administration must immediately work to deescalate.
The footage is disturbing. They threw a US Senator to the ground and handcuffed him for asking a question at a press conference. Fascism. Don’t look away.
There's no word to describe physically assaulting a US Senator for attending a press conference and asking a question other than authoritarianism.
Rep. McIver was doing her job conducting oversight at an ICE facility. Trump is trying to silence and intimidate us but he will fail. Members of Congress are proudly standing with @replamonica.bsky.social.
The Trump administration has no plans to actually protect consumers from corporate greed and power, the entire purpose of the FTC. Instead they're using any method they can think of to continue their obsession with demonizing trans kids.
