Because of the Big Beautiful Bill, some patients can’t use their Medicare plans to receive birth control, annual checkups, or cancer screenings at Planned Parenthood locations and many other nonprofits providing primary care.
President Trump and Senate Republicans are attempting to revoke funding from over 1,500 local media stations, hurting public broadcasting in every state.
It would be a betrayal to every community. America relies on local media.
A 20-year-old American was just beaten to death by a mob of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
President Trump revoked President Biden's sanctions against violent settlers on his first day in office.
Congress should pass my bill to codify the Biden sanctions into law.
I believe it is time for Secretary Noem to resign or for her to be fired.

We just got new numbers on inflation:
The price of food is up.
The price of household supplies is up.
The price of appliances is up.
The price of clothing is up.
The price of toys is up.
Working families can't afford President Trump's policies.
Under Secretary Noem’s watch, FEMA instituted a new policy that requires her signature on any new expenses more than $100,000. That includes search and rescue teams.
She confirmed it would take “a minimum of five days” for review.
In a disaster, you don’t have five days.
Secretary Noem has suggested she and President Trump want to eliminate FEMA altogether rather than reform it.
We can’t have a leader in charge of FEMA that is committed to its destruction.
In her short tenure, Secretary Noem has overstepped, under-performed, and endangered the lives of countless Americans.
Today, I’m calling on her to resign or be fired.
President Trump has made it clear from the moment he took office that he would attempt to use the power of the presidency to go after his political opponents.
His obvious lies are a disturbing attack on our democracy.
I stand with Senator Schiff.
There’re many ways that public broadcasting improves our society. Taking funding away from public media will have serious safety consequences and hurt our communities.
This week, President Trump and Republicans in Congress are attempting to revoke over $1 billion in funding for public broadcasting, including millions from Vermont.
Our local public media played an essential role, circulating updated safety guidance in the midst of the floods and sharing recovery resources in the aftermath.
For so many Vermonters, the floods were terrifying. People need safety guidance in a constantly shifting emergency and there’re many recovery resources that are hard to find once the flood water recedes.
The last two years, Vermont has suffered deadly flooding that demolished houses, destroyed bridges, swept away cars, and ruined crops.
I’m very pleased to announce the Women’s Economic Opportunity Conference will return on September 27 at Vermont State University in Randolph.

I’m a Democrat serving a state that was devastated by brutal flooding.
We need to reform FEMA and give more control to local governments who know what their communities need to recover.

Secretary Kennedy purged the vaccine advisory council of vaccine experts.
Now, the U.S. now has the highest number of measles cases in 33 years.
This isn’t making America healthy.
"Who dies from malnutrition? Children. Who dies from malaria? Children. Who dies from untreated HIV? Children."
President Trump's proposed $400 million cut to PEPFAR will be a death sentence for children across the globe. The Senate must block it.
