Vermont families and businesses will feel the pain of Trump’s reckless tariffs. Already the uncertainty has hammered us and brought chaos to trading with our #1 trade partner, Canada. Everything from housing materials and heating bills to groceries will be more expensive.

These are the questions that are haunting me today.
Americans of conscience, we must stand together and confront any president so wholly unsuited to lead the United States.
I will not be attending Trump's joint address to Congress tonight.
I watched him take an oath to uphold and protect the constitution, and all he did was spew lies, stoke division and fear and make no effort to unify our country. I won't sit and watch him lie to the American people again.
Housing is the foundation to a decent life. It shouldn't be out of reach for so many in the richest country in the world. And now HUD is in the hands of a billionaire who sees every agency as a playground, rather than a lifesaving service.
Protect HUD and HUD workers.
This is where we’re at. The Speaker of the House instructing Republican members to stop having town halls because they can’t take the pressure.
Our job is to keep the pressure on.
Vermonters making good trouble.
If you told Republicans ten years ago that they'd find themselves falling in line for a president whose foreign policy agenda is cheered on by the Kremlin...they'd never believe you.
But here we are.
Republicans, it's now or never. Speak up.
Elon Musk called Social Security a Ponzi scheme. He has no sense of what life is like for normal people.
Social Security is NOT a Ponzi scheme. It’s a commitment to ensuring our elders can retire with dignity.
Each one of us needs to be working these muscles of public protest, of resistance. If you haven't already, this is your sign.
Trump has made a reckless attempt to end access to life saving care for transgender young people. This is a dangerous interference in private medical decisions that should be made by doctors, patients, and their families.
To trans kids across the country: we’re with you. We will fight this.
Trump is the type of person that doesn’t pick up after their dog. We all know one 🙄
Trump and Vance are shamefully doing Putin’s bidding right from the Oval Office. It’s an absolute disgrace. I’m filled with rage as I watch this. I stand with all of you who believe deeply in the ideals of freedom and democracy. I’m disgusted by our president bending a knee to Putin.
I came of age in the 80s, a time when few women held elected office and queer people didn’t have many legal protections. I never imagined that I could legally marry my wife or have the opportunity to serve in Congress.
Our community has made so many gains. We have to make sure we don’t lose them.
That's where you come in. Public pressure on Republican members must continue and should even ramp up.
Call your reps. Let's go.
Democrats stayed united and put up a fight to make it difficult for this to get done even though the Republicans have a trifecta.
But it's not the last step. We still have opportunities to slow and obstruct the cuts, which millions of Americans are depending on us to do.
I want to take a step back for a moment to put this week’s budget resolution vote into context for all of you.
It was the first step that Trump needs to enact his cruel, pro-billionaire agenda.
⬇️
Trump banned the Associated Press from the White House.
DOGE has been at Social Security since last week. They’re firing employees and closing offices across the country.
I don't care what Trump said on the campaign trail. They are coming after Social Security. It’s a display of utter contempt for the families who depend on it.
I’m sickened to see Republicans unify around selling out their own constituents.
As Democrats we ALL voted no. So this is on them. Remember that.
