Instead of spending $200 billion on President Trump’s reckless war with Iran, let’s give people back their health care. Let’s build affordable housing. Let's build solar fields. Let's pay for child care.
Let's help Americans rather than fight an endless war abroad.
House Republicans passed a Farm Bill that will do nothing to help millions of families losing their SNAP benefits because of Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful Bill."
I can't support a bill that forces working families to choose between putting food on the table and keeping the lights on.
This country was built on a foundation of free speech.
Being President means having a thick skin.
You can’t use the power of the presidency to punish those who you disagree with.
Luxury jets, golf trips, and ballrooms.
This Administration will use taxpayer money to pay for everything except health care.
I commend the Vermont legislature for passing a law that allows Vermonters to sue federal agents for constitutional violations.
Republicans in Congress should take note and join Democrats in passing real accountability for ICE.
No one is above the law.
Pay attention to this.
President Trump quietly purged over 100 immigration judges and is now replacing them with inexperienced and untrained judges. Many have never practiced immigration law at all.
He's trying to take over all three branches of government.
“The U.S. Supreme Court Historical Society has calculated that Magna Carta is cited in at least 160 Supreme Court cases since 1789, not least as the foundation of the principle that executive power is subject to checks and balances.”
—King Charles III
Secretary Hegseth is an arrogant and aggressive bully. Bullies always blame their failures on others.
Hegseth can’t manage the President’s misguided war in Iran and blames others when you ask him legitimate questions.
From visiting a historical site, to reading the news, to visiting the fire department, the Good Citizen Challenge encourages young Vermonters to get involved and learn about their community.
Glad to meet with Susannah from Waterbury, this year's grand prize winner.
I’m thankful to hear reports that everyone at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is safe after this security incident and am thankful for the quick response from law enforcement.
If only there was a state in the U.S. famous for having the best granite in the world.
Children around the world have died because DOGE destroyed USAID, all in the name of cutting costs.
And now we learn from the Trump Administration that the “close out” costs for shutting down USAID may be $19 BILLION?
What an unconscionable waste.
Democrats had very simple asks for ICE reforms: No more masks, enforced code of conduct, end mass targeting.
Republicans refused.
Instead of negotiating, they started the process of jamming through $70 billion in ICE funding without a single Democratic vote.
I voted no.
It's Day 55 of Trump's reckless war with Iran.
People in this country can't afford health care. They can't afford housing. They can't afford gas.
Every day that Trump refuses to end this war costs billions of dollars that working families in the U.S. need.
This week, Senator Marsha Blackburn and I hosted a roundtable with over 20 artists and the Recording Academy to discuss protecting creators from harmful impacts of AI.
We also highlighted our bipartisan bills that makes sure credit and compensation go to artists.
Public defenders uphold our nation’s promise that everyone, no matter their income, can access legal services.
That’s why I’m urging my colleagues to fully fund the federal public defenders program in the next budget. https://bit.ly/42oAnOT
When massive media corporations merge, it means that just a few wealthy executives get to decide what you watch, how you get your news, and what you pay.
This deal isn't finalized. The DOJ must continue a full investigation into this merger for any antitrust violations.
