An incredible day of learning and community. Thank you to every Vermonter who participated in the 2025 Women’s Economic Opportunity Conference and helped make it a success.

Our positions show where our values are. President Trump wants a shutdown to mass fire federal workers. Democrats want to negotiate a deal that saves millions of people from having to pay more for health care.
Local communities and business leaders agree we need more renewable energy projects to create new jobs and lower energy costs, but President Trump is trying to roll back Democrats' progress. I joined leaders for Climate Week to rally around new green projects to help our economy and our planet.
Peter speaks at Climate Week in New York City about the importance of investing in green energy projects.

93% of farmers who get their health insurance on the marketplace use discounts that are expiring soon. If Republicans refuse to extend them, farmers across the country are going to have to pay even more for their health insurance. That's what Democrats are fighting against.
Glad to be in Shelburne to celebrate 94 new affordable apartments open to Vermonters. I’m proud to have secured $5 million in federal funds for this project, and I’ll continue working to get more affordable housing built in Vermont.

I'm praying for the families of those impacted in the shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas today, and am praying for a quick recovery for the people who were hurt. While we don’t know all of the details yet, we must all work together to lower the temperature and stop the violence.
For decades, the U.S. has advocated for a two-state solution between Palestine and Israel. But the Trump Administration has shifted course to support Netanyahu’s warpath. We must reverse course and build on France and Saudi Arabia's push for peace at the U.N. General Assembly.
The Trump Administration has been hijacking our justice system to go after political opponents while protecting his allies. And now he's hiding alleged corruption by Tom Homan. I joined my colleagues in demanding a full investigation into a possible cover-up.
Tom Homan allegedly accepted a $50,000 cash bribe in a Cava bag. Pam Bondi’s Justice Department shut down the investigation for unknown reasons. Cover-up.
For months and months, Republicans have known they needed Democratic votes to keep the government open and refused to negotiate on saving discounted health insurance for millions of Americans. And now on the eve of the shutdown President Trump is again refusing to negotiate.
NEW: Trump canceled a meeting with Schumer and Jeffries “after reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands” he claims they made.
I've joined Senator Jeff Merkley and my colleagues to introduce a resolution calling on the U.S. to recognize a Palestinian State alongside a secure Israel. A two-state solution is the best path towards peace and security for both Israel and Palestine. https://bit.ly/3IC1tfd
Secretary Kennedy replaced our top vaccine advisory panel with vaccine skeptics, many of them with no relevant experience. Last week, the panel didn't understand what they were voting on, then opposed coverage of a key shot for kids under four. It's a disaster for our health.

Here's what's at stake in these budget negotiations. If Republicans refuse to extend discounted Affordable Care Act premiums, millions of people around the country will be forced to pay more for their health insurance every month.
