After sending in the National Guard, now Trump is sending Marines to Los Angeles to shut down all opposition to ICE.
Trump wants a military police state. He is violating our right to protest, speak out against injustice, and observe law enforcement activity.

As always with Trump, the cruelty and hate is the point.
Many Afghans had the backs of our armed service members. Banning them from traveling here, after all they sacrificed on behalf of the US, is backwards and utterly shameful.
Trump is using the protests in LA to try to seize more power. As a former history teacher, I know that this is what autocrats do. This needs to be a wake up call for all of us.
ICE descended upon immigrant communities in LA, targeting innocent people just trying to live their lives, and when ICE was met with fierce opposition Trump deployed the National Guard. This is not “going after criminals,” it’s a scary escalation meant to sow even more fear and division.
Kilmar was mistakenly deported. The Trump admin admitted it. And yet he was locked up in El Salvador for over 11 weeks.
Relieved to hear that he is back in the U.S. Today: A win for democracy. Tomorrow: we keep up the fight.
It’s indisputable that death is imminent for hundreds of thousands in Gaza and the level of starvation for children is catastrophic. The United States may not remain complicit in the face of the unimaginable suffering and dire need for aid and supplies.
The Republican budget that is now in the Senate's hand’s is actually worse than we thought. 16 million people would lose their health care. Just so billionaires can pay a little less taxes. The Senate must do everything it can to stop this bill.
Trump's budget defunds Medicaid, food assistance, the NIH, the CDC, and the National Cancer Institute.
As the irrepressibly cheerful Joni Ernst reminded us, that's okay, we're all going to die.
Yeah, and the Trump administration is speeding it up.
Fantastic news.
Rents have gone up nearly 30%, and predatory tech companies are colluding with landlords to illegally hike rent and take advantage of working people.
Congress should pass my bill that bans this scam nationwide.
Innocent Jewish Americans have once again experienced a hateful, antisemitic act of violence. I am heartbroken by the indefensible terror. These attacks make no one safer. I stand with Boulder.
Happy, happy Pride to the LGBTQIA+ community in Vermont and beyond! You are seen, you are loved, you are worthy. Spread love and joy! 🌈
I’m a proud member of the bipartisan Mental Health Caucus in Congress. This is a huge crisis affecting every family all over the country, especially for young people.
Remember, facing mental health challenges doesn't make you weak, it makes you human. Asking for help is brave!
Get outside today☀️
Thank you to everyone who came to my town hall last night! Being in Newport reminded me how strong and connected our communities are on both sides of the border. I hear your concerns and I’ll keep fighting to make life better for every Vermonter.

Reminder that cuts to Medicaid don't just impact people on Medicaid. If you live in a rural area, your hospital could close.
If you get your insurance through the Marketplace, rates are going up as a result. Or you could get kicked off. This is going to create severe hardship for a lot of families.
Trump's FTC just gave up on a rock-solid case of illegal price discrimination. He said he would lower the cost of groceries but the FTC just surrendered, handing a gift to PepsiCo, Walmart & other giants. Small, independent businesses will continue to suffer while corporate donors get a pardon.
Adriana Smith's family is living a nightmare. They cannot grieve the loss of Adriana because Georgia's extreme abortion ban is forcing her to stay on ventilators against the family's will. This decision should be made by her family, not Republican politicians in Georgia.
On Memorial Day, we honor the brave Americans who paid the ultimate price to protect our nation. The courage and dedication of our servicemembers in Vermont and across the country demands our highest respect and commitment to the values they fought to defend.
