I’m horrified by the recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem that killed six civilians. Violence aimed at civilians is always unacceptable, evil, and must be condemned by all.
This cycle of horror must end for the sake of the hostages and the innocent families in Gaza.

Today, we remember the thousands of innocent lives lost on September 11, 2001.
We also honor the first responders, doctors, and everyday heroes who saved lives and helped our country heal. Their service reminds us of the strength of America.
We will never forget.
Right now, President Trump is using the D.C. National Guard for an expensive political stunt instead of focusing on the issues people care about.
That’s why I joined @vanhollen.senate.gov's bill to end his power grab and give D.C. control over their National Guard and police department.
I’m pleased to announce that Mirna Valerio will be the keynote speaker at this year’s Women’s Economic Opportunity Conference.
She's a best-selling author, ultramarathoner, and Vermonter.

This is what happens when we have a Health and Human Services Secretary who undermines the importance of vaccines during a growing measles outbreak and the rise of a new COVID-19 strain.
This isn’t making America healthy, it’s moving us toward a health crisis.
In states across the country, Republicans are trying to gerrymander Democrats out of their seats.
President Trump is trying to ban mail-in voting and block people from voting.
It’s a coordinated effort to sabotage the votes of the American public.
Unemployment under President Trump has risen to the highest rate since 2021.
Looking Latino and speaking Spanish are not reasons for the police to stop and interrogate you.
This ruling from the Supreme Court is a disgrace and goes against our core American values.
My full remarks from Secretary Kennedy’s hearing.

Proud to present Henry’s Diner with a tribute in the Congressional Record for 100 years of service!
Registration for the 2025 Women’s Economic Opportunity Conference is now open!
I hope you’ll join us on September 27 to learn, grow community, and build women’s economic power in Vermont.

My colleague @markwarner.bsky.social is Ranking Member of the Intelligence Committee, and it’s expected that he meet with federal intelligence workers, especially in Virginia.
The Trump Administration is letting conspiracy theorists get in the way of elected officials doing their job.
The Government Accountability Office reviews government spending to save taxpayer dollars. The agency is sounding the alarm on waste, fraud, and abuse from the Trump Administration.
It's no wonder Trump officials want to scrap it; they don't want accountability.

Secretary Kennedy has wrongly accused my fellow Democrats of being shills for Big Pharma. After his hearing today, I went down to the Senate Floor to offer a bill that would allow Medicare to negotiate lower prices on prescription drugs.
Republicans blocked it.
Talk is cheap.
Secretary Kennedy should resign.
Secretary Kennedy has broken promises he made to our committee during his confirmation process, and he’s broken promises he made to the American people.

Former CDC directors from every White House of both parties since the Carter Administration are warning that Secretary Kennedy is doing more harm to public health than we’ve ever seen.
They’re warning us about his dangerous, anti-science agenda.
More Americans are struck by lighting every year than commit voter fraud.
Strict photo ID requirements disproportionately stop people of color, women, seniors, students, and people with disabilities from voting.
This is just about getting rid of voters he doesn’t want.
