Republicans in Congress are pledging to cut $2.5 trillion from the budget.
That means cutting Social Security, Veterans’ benefits and Medicare.
It’s unthinkable. It will send millions of Americans who rely on this money, which they paid into, into poverty.
We moved! You can find us in DC at 1510 Longworth. 👋
Vermonters were depending on a funding deal that kept the government open, lowered costs for workers, and provided urgent assistance for disaster survivors.
Instead, Republicans caved to Elon Musk and let it fall apart, paving the way for tax giveaways for billionaires.
Let's talk about how Elon Musk built his wealth through government contracts. Yep, billions of dollars from the government.
He then bought Twitter to manipulate algorithms that distort reality and surge extremism.
Now he has enough influence to effectively become the president.

Nothing is more indicative of how authoritarian the political culture of the GOP has become than the fact that over the past few months its elected leaders have basically turned it over to an unelected rich guy who has threatened to primary them if they disobey orders. And no one has complained.
If Republicans don’t stand up to Elon now, it’s only going to get worse from here. Are we really going to govern like this for the next 4 years? Find your spine.
Elon Musk is not an elected official. He's been elected to nothing and has no place inserting himself like he’s the president when Congress is trying to get disaster relief to those who need it.
Comparing the FBI to the Gestapo is completely ignorant. These people are harassing women just trying to get health care and they think they’re the ones being persecuted? Be so serious.
Outrageous. This is why I introduced a bill to ban this predatory collusion. Congress needs to take up my Preventing Algorithmic Facilitation of Rental Housing Cartels Act so people can afford rent.
The research is clear: we need social support for our emotional and physical health, and when we don’t have it, we suffer.

Today, I'm introducing legislation to tackle the loneliness epidemic, isolation, and mental health. Loneliness is a crisis, especially in rural areas, for seniors, and among young people.
The Combating Loneliness Act invests in social connection, mental wellbeing, and community.
Donald Trump's pick to chair the FTC, Andrew Ferguson, plans to reverse Lina Khan’s progress holding corporations accountable and instead “fight back against the trans agenda."
The "trans agenda," by the way, is just equal rights.
The tragedy at Sandy Hook was preventable. Ban assault weapons now.
Love to see that people are flocking to the Green Mountain State. 🏔️
Today we celebrate two years of the Respect for Marriage Act as the law of the land in America. This is about equality for everyone. It's that simple. Love wins. ❤️
Great news! This is a victory for both shoppers and workers. Let's keep fighting against corporate monopolies that are price gouging us.
In the words of former Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, we can have a democracy, or we can have most of our country's wealth in the hands of just a few. But we can't have both.
I voted no on this year's NDAA. We cannot continue to bankroll a nearly $1 trillion military budget, while we underfund schools, housing, and more. It’s long past time we put the urgent needs of working families before giving a blank check to the military industrial complex.
