The Trump Administration has rescinded $158 million for community-led initiatives preventing gun violence.
This is a setback in public safety for red and blue states alike.

I just voted against confirming Emil Bove to a lifetime judicial seat.
It's a war crime to starve a population to get what you want from your enemy.

Three different whistleblowers have emerged with evidence that Emil Bove defied a direct court order and mislead the Judiciary Committee when he testified.
And yet Republicans are poised to confirm him to a lifetime judicial appointment tonight.
This is a constitutional crisis.
More than 60,000 Palestinians have now died in the Gaza war.
The U.S. is still funding offensive weapons used to kill civilians.
History will judge us for our complicity in this humanitarian catastrophe.
I've introduced a bill to combat Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill."
1) Gets rid of the "Sick Tax" that forces folks using Medicaid to pay a fee every time they have a medical visit.
2) Repeals measures that block Medicare from negotiating lower prices on certain medications.
President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” forces folks using Medicaid to pay an out-of-pocket fee every time they go to a medical appointment.
I’ve introduced legislation to repeal it.
The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is connected to deadly violence against starving people seeking food in Gaza.
I joined @vanhollen.senate.gov in calling on the State Department to take action.
The U.S. should stop funding it.
Another brave whistleblower has come forward with evidence that Emil Bove told Justice Department attorneys to ignore court orders. That’s a crisis for our democracy.
He's not fit to receive a lifetime judicial appointment.
I visited the Boys and Girls Club in Burlington to celebrate the opening of their new pool.
I was happy to secure $520,000 in federal funds for this project that improves the pool for kids in the community swimming in it every day.
Summer in Vermont always means getting fresh corn from Crossroad Farm in Norwich!
The U.N. has declared every country has an obligation to lower their carbon emissions.
Yet President Trump is ripping the U.S. away from international climate agreements and firing government employees who help combat climate change.
It's a disaster that'll hurt everyone.
President Trump’s decision to withdraw from UNESCO was as uninformed as it was misguided.
It’s an invitation to China to expand its influence in the United Nations.
This is a self-inflicted blow to U.S. global influence, and to international peace, democracy, and human rights.
This week, the head of FEMA’s urban search and rescue unit resigned after 10 years of service.
He says Secretary Noem is risking lives by putting more red tape on agency support. The delayed response in Texas was his last straw.
The chaos must end. Secretary Noem must resign.
I met with Dylan Collins, a Vermonter and video journalist, who survived a targeted attack by Israel Defense Forces while reporting in Southern Lebanon.
I’ll continue to demand that the U.S. hold the Israeli government accountable for assaults on journalists and U.S. citizens.
Small business owners in Vermont and across the U.S. are paying the price for President Trump's unnecessary trade war on Canada.
That's why I’m introducing the bipartisan CANADA Act with my colleagues to exempt small businesses from tariffs hurting our local economies.
I met with Mahmoud Khalil, who was imprisoned by the Trump Administration for peacefully protesting the war in Gaza.
Punishing people for exercising their freedom of speech is a danger to our democracy.
His advocacy never wavered. Neither should ours.
The division is the chief enforcer of voting rights, of racial justice, of hate crimes, and more.
Now it's a shell of what it should be and is neglecting its duty to provide justice to the folks in Lowndes County and everyone else in America.
His new head of the Civil Rights Division, Harmeet Dhillon, said the department will "no longer push 'environmental justice' as viewed through a distorting, DEI lens."
President Trump has gutted the Civil Rights Division of career attorneys who served under Presidents of both parties.
To right this wrong, the Biden Administration allocated nearly $26 million to rebuild the county's infrastructure and reached an agreement to help Lowndes’ residents.
But earlier this year, President Trump cut the funding.
