In this moment, we cannot continue to do our jobs as if this is 1980. We have to be willing to throw some elbows and to stand firm in what we know is right.

This is a time to fight. Senate Democrats: do not give in. This is a terrible funding bill that will hurt so many working families. Vote NO.
I’ve heard from some folks that they feel like they just “don’t get” people who are transgender and don’t understand their experience. I hear you. The bottom line is that you don’t have to understand everything about a person to still believe they are entitled to respect and basic human dignity.
This is just another one of Trump's lies and manipulations. The stock market crashing, prices rising, and tariff wars ongoing is not a "period of transition." It's an economic downturn because of his reckless actions. And he wants to cover it up. The rest of us will pay for this, literally.

I appear to live rent free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.
I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower costs for American families.
So if your grandma or mom wants to get her Social Security benefits, now she has to either use an app, or go in person after they closed field offices and fired staff? What a sick joke. The cruelty is the point.
BREAKING: DOGE is considering no longer letting senior citizens file Social Security claims over the phone, and requiring them to do it online or in person.

This week House Republicans brought forward a spending plan that hurts working people, veterans and our hospitals, while lining their own pockets — even when a four week extension was on the table. If they want a bipartisan solution I’m ready to vote for it asap.
And now they have a president in the White House who has never stood for women’s rights.
I’m proud to stand alongside over 110 Democrats in the House to take away their tools to bypass Congress and enact a national abortion ban.
Here's an update from Congress on the fight to protect abortion access across the country.
Today, @smith.senate.gov and I reintroduced the Stop Comstock Act. Right wing strategists have been foaming at the mouth for years to abuse antiquated laws to take women back to the 1800s.
These are the two idiots crashing the economy like a self-driving Tesla.
Trump's purge of Department of Education workers will effectively dismantle the department. It cannot function without the staff it needs. This means millions of kids will lose the quality education they need and deserve. Nightmare.
Trump’s erratic tariffs are crashing the stock market and driving up inflation. The burden will fall on us.
Mahmoud Khalil is a legal, permanent resident and unlawfully detaining him violates the First Amendment. His family and lawyer don’t even know where he is. Release Mahmoud. Being thrown in jail for protesting is the definition of authoritarianism.
Over a thousand Vermonters showed up to Montpelier to protest Trump and Musk. The momentum is building. Keep your signs ready to go! Comment your favorite sign below⬇️
This is one of those moments in history that one day people will look back on and ask, what did you do to stop the authoritarian takeover?
In Vermont, we march, we protest, we rally. We say NO to fascism.
Breaking down the basics of an amicus brief and how they’re helping us fight back against Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional actions. ⚖️
