I wanted to talk to you today about vitamin K shots. Especially when it comes to new parents, there’s so much disinformation and misinformation going around. But this shot has proven to be safe and effective.
It could save your baby’s life and spare you a lifetime of heartache.

As Trump and Republicans in Congress cut taxes for the ultra-rich and are now trying to take $1 BILLION of taxpayer money for this ballroom, Vermonters are seeing an incredibly high cost of living.
Where’s all the money in Trump’s budget for Vermonters?
I’m honestly tired of some of my colleagues’ “elevator courage.”
There are public servants across the country who are being threatened and harassed, but they’re still doing the right thing for their communities. It’s that bravery that’ll get us through this moment.
For many Americans, SSRIs aren’t optional interventions. These treatments are essential, life-sustaining care.
HHS should be focusing on the systemic drivers of our mental health care crisis, not perpetuating stigma and making unfounded claims.
Yesterday, I joined 258 colleagues from the House and Senate to demand that the Supreme Court protects access to Mifepristone.
We can’t have Republican politicians across the country playing doctor and telling Americans how to handle their own pregnancies. Mifepristone remains safe and effective.
Not enough money to lower the cost of healthcare, food, gas, etc. but a BILLION of our dollars for Trump’s ballroom. Shameful.
Addressing our mental health crisis - especially when it comes to our youth and veterans - is among the most important work I’m doing in Congress. It’s critical that we end the stigma and remind folks that the body doesn’t stop at the neck.
Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!
One of my top priorities in Congress is addressing our mental health crisis.
During Mental Health Awareness Month and otherwise, we must pursue policies that address workforce shortages and combat consolidation in the health care sector so we can ensure access to services in every community.
This is just a temporary win.
Yet again, mifepristone was approved by the FDA 25 years ago and it’s been safe and effective for MILLIONS of women since. That doesn’t change based on whether you got the medicine at a doctor’s office or through the mail.
I’m proud to be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week this week.
I’ve always been passionate about mentoring our future generations. It’s why I became a social studies teacher in the first place and why I’m energized to fight for our educators and students in Congress today.
Even in these hard times, we’ve got to try to do hard things and trust that we’ll figure it out in the end. Because we will figure this out - together.
VERMONT EMPLOYERS: Please join the ACLU of Vermont and me for a Know Your Rights training to empower you with information about your constitutional rights if ICE comes to your business’ door.

People told us we were being alarmist when we said Republicans would come after our reproductive rights - overturning Roe v. Wade, allowing women to bleed out in their cars, arresting people for miscarriages, attacking contraception.
But we’ve been right every single time.
I’m grateful for my Jewish heritage and the lessons it’s instilled in me – resilience and hope, that every person deserves justice, the desire to serve others.
It’s important to spread those ideals, worship in the way that’s most meaningful to you, and pass our traditions on to future generations.
Just a reminder that Trump and Republicans made massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP so they could super-charge ICE’s budget and fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.
Quite a statement of their priorities.
We’re still reviewing this ruling but let’s be clear: the FDA first approved mifepristone 25 years ago and it’s been safe and effective for millions since. Whether it’s taken at home or in a medical setting has no impact on that.
Every American must have the right to control their own pregnancies.
Happy International Workers’ Day!
Today, we celebrate the contributions and strength of workers around the world and recommit to fighting for the rights, dignity, and protections they deserve.
We’ve heard Americans loud and clear.
From increasing pay and taking on corporations, to lowering everyday costs on housing, groceries, and childcare, our agenda reflects that we're ready to take real action.

We just voted on the FISA bill. A majority of the House supports reforms to protect Americans from being surveilled by their own government. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Without those critical safeguards, I couldn’t support it. I voted NO.
Now why exactly did Mike Johnson keep these innocent FEMA, TSA, and Coast Guard employees working without pay for all this time? This bipartisan bill has been on the table FOR WEEKS! This really was a shameful episode.
