Trump's FTC just gave up on a rock-solid case of illegal price discrimination. He said he would lower the cost of groceries but the FTC just surrendered, handing a gift to PepsiCo, Walmart & other giants. Small, independent businesses will continue to suffer while corporate donors get a pardon.

Adriana Smith's family is living a nightmare. They cannot grieve the loss of Adriana because Georgia's extreme abortion ban is forcing her to stay on ventilators against the family's will. This decision should be made by her family, not Republican politicians in Georgia.
On Memorial Day, we honor the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price to protect our nation. The courage and dedication of our servicemembers in Vermont and across the country demands our highest respect and commitment to the values they fought to defend.
Congratulations Mohsen!🎓 Trump can’t take away your education, your community or your voice.
All of these people are willing to give up any values, morals, or backbone they had because Trump is making them even richer. Beyond corrupt.
Millions of people can't get health care or food assistance but a Republican Congressman can get a tax break for his gun shop. Shame.
Part of the bill that Republicans jammed through includes something you may have missed:
Defunding Planned Parenthood.
There's nothing "pro-life" about defunding breast exams, pregnancy tests, prenatal care, and so much more. Over 1 million women could lose access to care.
Hey, Vermont!
I'm holding a town hall on Wednesday, May 28th in Newport, VT at North Country Union High School at 5:15PM. We'll also live stream on Youtube for those who can't attend in person.
RSVP: balint.house.gov/forms/form/?...
Hope you can make it!
What kind of nation are we when leaders choose to take food away from children?
When they take health care away from people?
When they kick the poor in the teeth while rewarding the richest among us?
The bill Republicans passed in the dead of night is a moral failure.
In their bill, Republicans passed steep cuts to food assistance, Medicaid, and put Medicare at risk. For me, that’s a moral line. It makes no sense in this time of incredible struggle when families are having such a hard time making ends meet to go after food assistance and Medicaid.
2 people were murdered outside the Capital Jewish Museum last night. There's no justification, and murdering innocent people does not make anyone, including Palestinians, safer. I mourn with everyone affected and I pray for the end to antisemitism & hate of all kinds. May their memory be a blessing.
Millions will be kicked off their health care. Hospitals will close. Kids will go hungry because they slashed food assistance. This isn’t fear mongering. These will be the very real consequences of their budget.
Now it goes to the Senate. There’s still time to fight.
Dear Americans,
Republicans in the House just passed the largest transfer of wealth in history to the top 1%. Those of us with the least amount of money will suffer the most.
The latest version of the budget is out with all the side deals and back room promises from Trump over the last few days.
But the cruelty hasn’t changed, Medicaid cuts, increasing taxes for low income, and cutting taxes for the richest is all there.
We’ll be voting overnight.
The idea that this "palace in the sky" luxury jet is a gift to Trump from Qatar with no strings attached is pure fantasy.
Very sad to hear this news. We thank Congressman Connolly for his decades of service and we wish his loved ones nothing but peace and healing.
The charges against @replamonica.bsky.social are baseless. It's an attempt by the Trump admin to intimidate members of Congress of the opposition party. This is what wannabe authoritarians do.
Rep. McIver was doing her job conducting oversight at an ICE facility. We stand with her.
Here's the latest on Trump's Big, Ugly Bill that would be the biggest transfer of wealth from working people to rich people in history. I'll be at Rules early Wednesday morning.
This is the epitome of how the GOP operates to pass Trump's agenda: back room deals in the middle of the night kept in secret and then forcing a vote that will leave millions without health care.
The same thing will happen in the Rules Committee, which starts tonight at 1:00 AM.
This can't be the "merit-based" hiring Trump's been talking about! 😂
Kristi Noem cannot answer simple, basic questions about the principles this country was founded on. It would be funny if it wasn't so embarrassing.
