Letting the billionaires ramming this merger threw off easy would be a massive mistake.
As a reminder, it would bring TikTok, CNN, and CBS under one roof, force prices up (like for streaming!), bring wages down, and lead to people losing jobs.
We must remember that before it’s too late.

Happy #NationalAppChallengeDay!
No matter your coding skill, if you’re a middle or high school student in Vermont who has an idea for how we can solve our most pressing issues, we invite you to participate!
Go to balint.house.gov for more info on how to submit your app by the Oct. 26th deadline.
Trump is banning CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House. Of course, it’s because they try to hold him accountable.
This is not normal and we can’t treat it as normal. It’s the stuff of demagogues and autocrats.
NEWS: The Trump admin has reportedly been covering up the number of servicemembers who’ve died in the war with Iran!
This is absolutely sickening and shocking. There must be accountability for every single person involved in this disgrace.
I’m sick and tired of the rich getting richer while workers’ wages effectively stay the same.
Our economic policies need to actually benefit the people whose labor our nation runs on.
When someone reaches out in a moment of crisis, our system should be prepared to meet them where they're at.
That’s what 988 is there to do. And it’s why we must continue to invest in it.
Proud to join @dorismatsui.bsky.social and our colleagues to highlight the 988 Implementation Act.
We won’t give up the fight for reproductive freedom – now or in the future.
I’m proud to be in this fight alongside leaders like @mintimm.bsky.social, the president and CEO of @reproductivefreedomforall.org. It was great to connect with her this week!
We’re not going to forget. We’re not going to give up our fight for accountability. We’re not going to stop standing with survivors.
Release the damn Epstein files.
![Rep. Balint wearing a bracelet that says:
Stand with survivors
Release the [REDACTED] files](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_fullsize/plain/did%3Aplc%3Aa4vpio4bg7nnvmwolyyw5t72/bafkreihdztupuhw6sk5fpwkty6fu2a6c6iw5ks6wjc7em5uxlo3s3l4lzy@jpeg)
Our economic agenda must be centered on returning power to the people.
My Online Sellers Bill of Rights is a part of that work – it would even the playing field between small online sellers and massive corporations like Amazon. The status quo just can’t continue.
My friend @mcbride.house.gov and I are constantly hearing from our constituents about the cost of living. We have bills that would do something about it.
But GOP leadership is sending us home early because they want to avoid bipartisan accountability for Pete Hegseth.
It's shameful.
My Republican colleagues said that we were being ‘hysterical and silly’ by talking about the impact of this asinine trade war with Canada.
There is nothing funny about how this has hurt Vermont’s small businesses, farmers, and tourist industry.
We had a special visitor at @democrats-judiciary.house.gov today! 🐶
Mike Johnson would rather shut down the House and send us all home than let members vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment.
This is what it looks like when you’re more interested in protecting your own than answering to the American people.
A mental health crisis doesn’t have to become a hospital visit or an encounter with law enforcement. But when someone needs a higher level of intervention and care, we need to make sure our systems are working together.
That’s what my 988 and 911 Integration Act would help do.
Women should not be dying from ectopic pregnancies in 2026 in the United States.
But they are, at nearly double the rate - and it’s even worse in states with abortion bans.
Grateful to host the National Music Publishers Association and musicians Mags Duval and Cal Shapiro to talk about what we can do to ensure artists get the credit and compensation they deserve.
Mags and Cal wrote the hit song “Ordinary” – it made my day when they performed it in my office!
Alongside @sanders.senate.gov and @welch.senate.gov, I was proud to announce $33.2 million in FEMA money to support flood buyouts in Vermont.
This will bring welcome - though bittersweet - closure after years of uncertainty. I’ll always fight for the funding we need to recover and rebuild.
Let’s be very clear about what’s happening here: the AI companies have had this “change of heart” because they want to be the ones to write the rules about how they’re regulated.
We can’t just sit on our hands and trust them to police themselves.
THIS JUST IN: The Supreme Court blocked Trump’s plan to sow chaos in the mail-in voting process.
This is big news and exactly what we needed to hear.
