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.
Republicans passed their budget which provides $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich but does nothing to lower costs for the rest of us. It’s a kick in the teeth to working people to give the ultra-wealthy another unneeded break.
Trump and Elon don't want to use government as a tool to support Americans and make our country more affordable. No. They are using government to give handouts to their billionaire friends and push our democracy to the brink.
This tells me the White House is well aware that the American people do not support what Trump and Elon are doing.
The president controlling which reporters can get access to him is another backslide into authoritarianism. It's a classic Putin move. Make some noise about this.
Today, the House is voting on a budget to fund the government.
It slashes SNAP and Medicaid to pay for a $4.5 trillion tax cut for the rich. Yes — that's trillion with a T.
When I vote NO, I'll be thinking of working people in Vermont who sent me here to make their lives better. Not harder.
American democracy is an experiment. A 200+ year old experiment that takes all of us to uphold.
$14,881,336 has been stolen from farmers in Vermont by Musk and Trump.
The disrespect has been shocking but this is now full on contempt.
All it takes is 3 Republicans to join us and leave behind the silence and complicity. We must call out Musk on his harassment of the civil servants who keep our country running.
Keep the pressure on.
Shoutout to Governor Janet Mills! This is the kind of courage we need.
I'm excited to share that @sanders.senate.gov and Senator Peter Welch will be joining our tele-townhall so Vermonters can hear from us together!
Join us on Wednesday, February 26, at 6:30PM. RSVP at balint.house.gov/live. Talk to you soon!
Zelenskyy is not a dictator. Putin is. And Trump wants to be.
Flooding in Vermont. Hurricane in North Carolina. Wildfires in California. The list goes on and on of communities that are still rebuilding.
Denying climate change. Denying disaster. Denying assistance. Cruel.
BREAKING: The Trump administration plans to cut 84% of staff at the office that funds disaster recovery across the United States.

My office was able to help a Vermonter recover over $200k from the IRS — including over $40k in interest.
We work tirelessly to resolve issues like these for individuals. We can help you with a federal agency too. Call (802) 652-2450 or visit balint.house.gov/services/casework-form.htm.
Vermonters: Join me for a tele-townhall in one week! I'll be taking questions so get yours ready. Register here: balint.house.gov/forms/form/?...
Talk to you soon!
Saving the democracy is going to take all of us.
Americans must demand that the president leads with grace and understanding over ego, with the Constitution at top of mind, and to create the most good for the most Americans possible. This is not what we see from Trump. The people must continue to demand democracy, on Presidents' Day and every day.
I’m asking you to check back in. A few minutes each day. Each one of us needs to be a witness.
Elon Musk is not a disinterested actor when it comes to our nation’s budget. He has tens of billions of dollars wrapped up in contracts and subsidies.
The idea that he is meddling in government spending out of the goodness of his heart is pure fantasy.
