Vermont is the top maple producer in the U.S. for the third year in a row! We have the best maple syrup, with over 3 million gallons in 2025 to prove it.
President Trump must abandon his on-again, off-again tariff policies, which are jeopardizing our sugarmakers' future.

Last week, the House passed my bipartisan bill requiring Amtrak to install a baby changing station on every train.
I’m calling on my Senate colleagues to help pass this commonsense legislation, which makes it easier for families to travel.
The Republican "Big Beautiful Bill" is not for working families. It's not for folks who work hard every day and try to make ends meet.
It'll be the biggest cut to Medicaid in history and take away food aid from millions of people to give a massive tax cut to billionaires.
Tens of thousands of Vermonters participated in protests this weekend, including more than 16,000 in Burlington.
It shows Vermont continues to stand up for democracy and against dictatorship.
America has no king.
President Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful" Bill will:
❌ Kick 16 million people off their health care
❌ Take away food assistance from millions of children
❌ Add trillions to the national deficit and tank the economy
All so he can give tax cuts to billionaires like himself.
More than 8.2 million people in states represented by Senate Republicans will lose their health care if President Trump's tax bill becomes law.
A vote for this bill is a vote to kick thousands of your constituents off the health care they need.
I'm horrified by the shootings of Minnesota state lawmakers last night.
Political disagreement should never rise to violence.
My thoughts are with their loved ones and Minnesotans today.
Last night, House Republicans passed President Trump's bill to claw back $9.4 billion in funding for PBS, NPR, and global humanitarian assistance.
When it comes to the Senate, I will vote no.
It's been 16 years since the federal minimum wage was raised. In 2025, $7.25/hour isn't nearly enough to pay rent and put food on the table.
That's why I'm teaming up with Senator Hawley to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour. This is a step towards an actual living wage.
Rounding up immigrants at random from their place of work and deporting them without due process isn’t good policy, it’s chaotic and cruel.
These are hard working people doing important jobs and contributing to their communities.
Israel's attack risks a regional war and thwarts the Trump nuclear negotiations that were underway with Iran.
Another war in the Middle East involving the United States would be catastrophic for our country.
If Republicans go through with President Trump’s so-called “big, beautiful” bill, one in 20 Vermonters will lose their health care.
What we just witnessed is totally outrageous.
I stand with Senator Padilla.
Physically accosting and handcuffing a U.S. Senator who is advocating for his constituents at a public event is outrageous.
The Trump Administration is violating the Constitution and can’t take any questions or criticism about their illegal actions.
More than half of Americans are worried about how they’ll pay for their health care if Republicans pass President Trump’s terrible tax plan.
This bill will take health care away from people in red states and blue states alike.
Republicans just voted down Senator Chris Murphy's resolution to block President Trump's corrupt arms sales to Qatar and the UAE.
It's not surprising, but it is disappointing.

Waste, fraud, and abuse.
Secretary Kennedy promised the Senate over and over again he wouldn’t meddle in scientific vaccine recommendations.
I didn’t believe him. I voted against his nomination.
Now, he’s purged the entire CDC vaccine advisory committee.
He’s putting the health of our children at risk.
