The shooting at Bondi Beach is heartbreaking. My heart is with the Jewish community in Australia and around the world.
Antisemitism has no place in our society. We must all speak out against it.

I’m heartbroken by the deadly shooting at Brown University. I’m thankful for the first responders who worked quickly to protect students.
My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire Providence community.
We can’t accept mass shootings as normal. We must take action.
Just a few weeks ago, my bipartisan Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act passed the U.S. Senate unanimously.
Yesterday, I visited St. Albans City School to celebrate with students and farmers. We’re one step closer to bringing milk from our local farms into our schools!
As I talked with farmers in both Nebraska and Iowa this weekend, I heard echoes of the same conversations I have with farmers in Vermont.
They’re struggling to survive under the burden of President Trump’s reckless economic policies and trade war.
President Trump’s planned bailout for farmers won’t end the pain his tariffs are causing or support farmers in the long-term.
If he actually wanted to help, he'd work with Democrats to pass a Farm Bill that invests in our farmers and not just corporations.
President Trump made accusations of fraud without any evidence in the Honduran presidential election. He said if his favored candidate doesn't win there will be "hell to pay."
The U.S. needs to stop interfering in elections of our Latin America neighbors.
Humility is dead (and so is irony).
An institute that was doing great work is now a laughingstock.
I’m in Nebraska today, talking with farmers who are being hit hard by President Trump’s trade war just like the farmers in Vermont.
Secretary Kennedy's hand-picked vaccine advisory panel voted today to overturn a recommendation that's been in place for decades that all babies get the Hepatitis B vaccine on the day they're born.
This is just another part of RFK Jr.'s crusade to restrict vaccines that save lives.
A farmer from the Northeast Kingdom who voted from Trump told me he’s dropping his health care if the ACA credits expire.
From utility bills to home insurance premiums, climate change is costing American households $900 a year.
We need to invest in green energy projects that will save working families more of their hard-earned money and lower our carbon emissions to bring down long-term costs.
President Trump is setting up two systems in this country.
For the rich, they get tax cuts, presidential pardons, and exemptions from tariffs.
For everyone else, you get your health care taken away, your SNAP benefits taken away, and you get to pay for his tariffs.
Ripping away a 7-year-old from his home and father is not targeting the “worst of the worst” and doesn’t make us safer.
President Trump’s deportation campaign is terrorizing families in Vermont and around the country.
A second grader in the Winooski School District was taken into immigration custody with his mother while traveling during school vacation. That’s according to the district’s superintendent.

Since the White House can’t get their story straight on who gave what orders on bombing the boat in Venezuela, Congress needs to get to the bottom of this.
Congress must get the tapes so we can investigate.
The Constitution is clear: only Congress can declare war, not President Trump.
If Trump starts a war with Venezuela, it will be illegal.
Americans don’t want another unnecessary war that puts our troops at risk.
Ex-Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández orchestrated a drug trafficking conspiracy that brought more than 500 tons of cocaine into the U.S. over the span of 20 years.
President Trump has pardoned him.
It makes a mockery of Trump’s claim to be stopping drug trafficking.
Today is World AIDS Day, when we should be celebrating all the progress we've made to end the epidemic.
But unfortunately, President Trump has slashed funding to prevent it's spread.
The Trump Administration is threatening one of our greatest public health success stories.
President Trump is rounding up and deporting immigrants with no due process.
But he’s pardoning a convicted felon who stole $1.6 billion from thousands of Americans.

You can’t use being “tough on drugs” as an excuse to bomb boats of suspected drug couriers while at the same time pardoning the former president of Honduras who was convicted of trying to bring drugs into America.
