While families struggle to afford housing, health care, and groceries, Republicans just passed a bill to send $70B more to ICE and Border Patrol.
I voted no.

Todd Blanche has already shown himself to be a disgrace to our nation’s justice system.
He has no right being our attorney general.
For as long as he’s been at the DOJ, Todd Blanche has proven that he’s more than happy to corrupt our justice system on behalf of one man - and cover up the crimes of many in the Epstein files.
It’s no surprise that Trump wants his “former” personal attorney as OUR attorney general.
This week, Republicans are going to make us vote on their awful reconciliation bill.
Here's what it does:
• Give $70B MORE to ICE and Border Patrol with no oversight
Here's what it doesn't do:
• Stop Trump's insurrectionist slush fund
• Literally anything to lower your costs
As the chair of the @usprogressives.bsky.social End Corporate Greed Task Force, I was grateful to participate in a panel on taxing billionaires this weekend at @netrootsnation.bsky.social.
Thanks to my fellow panelists for a great conversation and to the folks in our audience for joining.
This #WearOrange Weekend, I’ve been proud to join folks across the country in honoring survivors, remembering those we’ve lost, and recommitting to the work ahead to end gun violence.
Today at @netrootsnation.bsky.social, @frost.house.gov and I joined @taxgreed.bsky.social and top advocates for a discussion on the need for billionaires to pay their fair share in our country.
We know that financial power turns into political power - it’s time to level the playing field.
In Vermont, we took common sense actions to combat gun violence.
Now, across the country, we must do everything we can to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people while also addressing the root causes of this crisis holistically.
This morning, on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, I joined @mcbath.house.gov and my colleagues on @democrats-judiciary.house.gov for a critical conversation on gun violence prevention.
We owe it to our communities to meet this crisis with the urgency it deserves.
Trump is raiding funds meant for our national parks to pay for his lavish Fourth of July celebrations.
Don’t get me wrong - we should celebrate in a meaningful way this year, but our national parks are our treasures. We need them to be maintained for many generations to come.
While in the State Senate, I was proud to help pass comprehensive gun safety laws for Vermont. I couldn't have done it without the inspiring example of @gabbygiffords.bsky.social.
It was a wonderful surprise to run into her today, and a pleasure to thank her for her leadership.
Both Netanyahu and Trump have continued to double down on chaos and conflict, leaving the American people to foot the bill at a time when they can’t even afford the basics—rent, groceries, prescriptions, or gas. Congress must draw the line. (2/2)
I just voted to stop our taxpayer dollars from fueling Netanyahu’s attacks in Lebanon that have killed hundreds of civilians and displaced over a million people. (1/2)
To me, Pride Month is for all of us. Whether you’re in the LGBTQ community or not - everyone should be able to be their full and whole selves in this country.
Gas prices are going to keep getting even higher until Trump’s war in Iran ends.
It’s that simple.
In the richest country in the world, it’s simply unacceptable for so many Americans to not be able to afford their daily lives.
Congress’ priorities are so screwed up right now.
BIG NEWS: the House just voted to end the war in Iran!
Due process protects all of us, not just the accused.
This administration has tried to play judge, jury, and sometimes executioner – killing Americans like Renee Good and Alex Pretti and bombing boats in the Caribbean without verification.
They can’t be trusted.
Another day, another example of Pete Hegseth restricting press access at the Pentagon.
The free press must be able to ask questions and demand receipts about what our nation’s military is doing in our name. The American people deserve that transparency.
Let’s talk about Delaney Hall in Newark, NJ.
Right now, human beings are being held in terrible conditions because a private company wants to cut corners on food and medical care to maximize profits. DHS needs to let elected officials conduct oversight and we need to stop funding these atrocities.
