On his first day in office, Trump pardoned 1,500 people who broke into the Capitol, smashed windows, and brutally attacked police officers with flagpoles.
The pardons will never change what happened on January 6, 2021. It was domestic terrorism, fueled by Trump's lies and scams.

56 years ago today, the ceiling was finally shattered for Black women to serve in Congress.
Shirley Chisholm is one of my biggest heroes. She gave me the courage to run for office. All women in Congress stand on her shoulders. She gives me strength to keep pushing forward.
Awful news. Cecile made it her life's mission to protect the right to choose for every woman in America. We will carry on her fight. May her memory be a blessing.
Day 1 under Trump. We must face these challenges and attacks with courage and clarity. I’m ready for the work ahead to defend our Constitution and will be working tirelessly to address the urgent needs of Vermonters and working people across America.
“I never intend to adjust myself to economic conditions that will take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few and leave men by the thousands and millions smothering in an air-tight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Tomorrow is the start of frightening times. I am choosing calm. Not because I’m blind to the dangers we face, but because this moment requires calm, focus, and a clarity of purpose.
Historic. President Biden is fully supportive of what organizers, advocates, and lawmakers have been fighting for.
All Americans should be guaranteed equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex.
I will be attending Donald Trump's inauguration.
Unlike all the election deniers who will be there, including the man being sworn in, I have the peace, strength, and courage that comes from knowing I am not licking anyone’s boots. I am not trapped in a lie.
Fighting for women to be protected, uplifted, seen, heard, thriving, and free in this country. Our work is more important than ever over the next four years. We're ready.

Last night, President Biden said we need to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. He's 100% right. Serving in Congress is not for personal gain and wealth.
The Republican Party wants to act like they're "pro-life" but are discouraging members of Congress to grow their families by failing to accommodate them.
Congress should support working parents.
This is a critical first step in rebuilding the political stability and safety of the entire region and securing a free and self-determined Palestine. Attentive and serious diplomacy will be imperative to achieving true lasting peace and a safer future for Palestinians and Israelis.
If the 50 years of precedence in Roe could be overturned, then why would we think Republicans would stop there? They won't. Just last week, Republicans in Idaho started their crusade to overturn Obergefell, which guarantees the right to marry who you love.
Today we mourn the loss of Gov. Tom Salmon. When he ran in 1972, the odds were unquestionably against him. But he led with his values, he focused on issues impacting everyday Vermonters, and he didn't give up. My deepest condolences to his family and gratitude for his example.
I'm proud to announce I've been elected Vice Ranking Member of @democrats-judiciary.house.gov
I’m honored to work with Ranking Member @raskin.house.gov as we take on corporate greed, shore up reproductive freedoms, strengthen our democracy, and defend LGBTQI+ rights.
Banning trans kids from sports solves *none* of the problems that Americans are facing.
Let’s be real: Trans kids aren't the reason we can't afford groceries. Trans kids aren't the reason young people are giving up on ever owning a home.
Corporate greed is.
Trans Americans are not the problem. The obsession with monitoring kids' genitals is the problem.
Republicans want your kids, my kids, our kids to have their genitals examined by adults before sports practice.
It’s vile and twisted. An absolute invasion of children’s privacy.
77,000 people in Vermont have $3.5 billion worth of student loan debt. This is just crippling for these families and is holding back our economy. Cancel student debt.
@thesbpc.bsky.social
Sunday smiles. I feel ready as we head into another week of fighting for progressive change. The tide is against us, but we have to remain committed to the needs of tens of millions of Americans who voted against Trumpism and for supporting working people. Courage over comfort.
