Trump's tariffs will deeply hurt Americans. And we know it will always hurt people living paycheck to paycheck the most.

You cannot show bravery without risking something. This is one of the biggest challenges that we face in Congress right now: too many people are choosing comfort over courage.
Choose courage over comfort, even when nobody seems to be watching.
Republicans will have an even slimmer majority than they do now. We should expect another two years of chaos and deflections from their responsibility to get work done for the American people.
My conversation with @mollyjongfast.bsky.social:
Humans, we are hardwired for connection, but we are in a public health crisis of loneliness. I’m introducing a bill that specifically tackles this issue. By supporting our need for social connection, we will be taking steps to strengthen our democracy.
If you're doing some holiday shopping this weekend, please shop local and support your neighbors! Small businesses are the beating hearts of our community, and we all have to do our part to make sure they can thrive. #SmallBusinessSaturday
Happy Thanksgiving, Vermonters! Today we get to be with our closest friends and family to celebrate and feel grateful for those connections. I'm grateful to serve you in Congress and make sure rural communities have a seat at the table.
Wishing you warmth and joy! 🦃🥧
Last week House Republicans attacked and demonized Rep.-elect Sarah McBride simply because she's trans.
It's a distraction; they have nothing else to offer.

Good luck to Vermont's very own Olympic medalist Ilona Maher tonight in the Dancing with the Stars finals! #DWTSFinale 🏆💃
71% of Americans believe the economy is rigged against them. They’re not wrong.
1973: Top 1% took home 9% of the income in the US
2023: Top 1% took home 26.5% of the income in the US
Wealth created by millions of people greatly benefits a tiny group of extremely rich people.
There is not a single state in the US where the minimum wage is equal to the cost of living. There is nowhere in the nation that a single person can support themselves on minimum wage. We cannot accept this as normal.
Yes, Trump lied. By naming Russ Vought — the architect of Project 2025 — to lead the budget office, it is completely undeniable that Project 2025 will be the blueprint for his second term.
The digital divide is disproportionately affecting people who are incarcerated, low income, veterans, seniors, members of a racial or ethnic minority group, have disabilities, and who live in a rural area.
Internet access is not a luxury. It's essential.
As a member of the bipartisan Rural Health Caucus, I met with rural hospital leaders this week to work together to improve healthcare access in rural communities.
15% of Americans live in rural areas. We need to make sure they can access the health care they need.
My GOP colleagues, who privately tell me they don't hate LGBTQ+ people, should find the courage to reject the dehumanizing rhetoric. Your silence is deafening.
Yesterday, 19 senators voted to block the sale of more offensive weapons to the Netanyahu government. The United States cannot continue to fund this war that has brought unimaginable death and destruction to Gaza.
Housing NEEDS to be a part of the national political conversation. I introduced a sweeping housing bill because people are losing hope that they'll ever own a home or comfortably afford rent. We need to reimagine housing. Every American is feeling the effects of this crisis.
Today we observe Transgender Day of Remembrance to honor the trans people we have lost to anti-trans violence.
Hate breeds violence, and trans allies must use our platforms and power to protect and support trans Americans.
Trans lives matter.
Happy birthday, Mr. President. 🎈🇺🇸
What we’re witnessing is crass cruelty from Nancy Mace. As she chases more media attention, she stokes fear and hatred. For what? Social media likes, donors, and Trump’s favor.
Sarah McBride, by the way, just wants to get to work for Delaware.
For those in Vermont who have a case open with our office related to immigration, we're working hard to address your case. We know this is an extremely uncertain and distressing time for so many families. We're here to help.
