President Trump’s 25-50% tariffs on aluminum and steel went into effect yesterday. If you buy any of these items, you can thank him for the higher prices you’re about to see:
Cars
Canned drinks (BEER, soda, and seltzer)
Dishwashers
Dryers
Lawn mowers
Baseball bats
Tennis rackets
This morning, I met with Yechiel Leiter, the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S.
I reiterated my support for the Israeli people and emphasized my concern about the continued suffering in Gaza.
We must keep working together to free the remaining hostages and surge humanitarian aid.
Yesterday, the Senate Agriculture committee advanced the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, legislation Senator Marshall and I introduced to expand access to nutritious milk in schools.
I’ll cheers to that.
President Trump has sent Congress a request to cut $9.4 billion in funding from NPR, PBS, global health programs, and foreign aid.
I will vote no.

This Pride Month, my message to the LGBTQ+ community in Vermont and around the country is this: regardless who you are or who you love, you matter.
And you belong.
While Pride Month is a celebration, we can't celebrate without also acknowledging that the LGBTQ+ community is under attack in America.
I'll continue to fight for the LGBTQ+ community’s rights and protections. Everyone deserves to be treated equally under the law.
President Trump and his administration can't pretend to be protectors of free speech while also attempting to deport a student for writing an op-ed they disagree with.
The Trump Administration is shutting down Job Corps centers around the country, including the one in Vergennes.
Job Corps supports low-income young people and offers them education and training to set them up for career success.
This is an attack on their future.
It wasn't long ago that then-Senator Rubio and his GOP colleagues would've been outraged if a Cuban, Nicaraguan, or Venezuelan was forcibly deported after fleeing oppression.
But under the Trump regime, they say nothing as thousands here legally are rounded up and deported.
Elon Musk blew into Washington knowing little about the government, fired tens of thousands of hard-working people, and shut down programs that save lives.
Now he's leaving to go back to his billion-dollar company, and the American people are left holding the bag.
Vermonters are outraged that President Trump is raising costs and rolling back progress in our fight against climate change.
I joined Energy Action Network in Winooski to share why I oppose the Republican tax bill, which cuts clean energy jobs and raises costs for folks.
President Trump's tax bill eliminates subsidized loans, affordable payment plans, and kicks students off Pell Grants. Parents already stress about paying for college, and now they'll have even fewer options.
It means fewer kids from working families will be able to go to college.
Costs are already rising, yet Republicans are trying to take away tax credits that help families and small businesses save money on their energy bills every month?
It makes no sense.
President Trump has placed this country in a constitutional crisis. His actions have been chaotic and cruel.

Vermonters I talk with don’t understand why Supreme Court justices are allowed to accept private airplane travel and yacht vacations from billionaires. It's shattered the public's trust in America's most powerful court.
I'm proud to join @whitehouse.senate.gov in introducing this bill.
It was a busy day between events with constituents, but I managed to find time to stop at Mach’s Market in Pawlet!
To the hundreds of Vermonters who joined me in Rutland last night, thank you.
I take the stories you share with me to the Senate floor every day so I can keep fighting for you.
Not only does Vermont have strong economic ties to Canada, but we have a deep affection for its people.
I joined my Senate colleagues in Ottawa to reaffirm the friendship between our two countries, despite President Trump's attempt to destroy it.
