As Trump and Republicans in Congress cut taxes for the ultra-rich and are now trying to take $1 BILLION of taxpayer money for this ballroom, Vermonters are seeing an incredibly high cost of living.   Where’s all the money in Trump’s budget for Vermonters?

I’m honestly tired of some of my colleagues’ “elevator courage.” There are public servants across the country who are being threatened and harassed, but they’re still doing the right thing for their communities. It’s that bravery that’ll get us through this moment.

For many Americans, SSRIs aren’t optional interventions. These treatments are essential, life-sustaining care.   HHS should be focusing on the systemic drivers of our mental health care crisis, not perpetuating stigma and making unfounded claims.

Yesterday, I joined 258 colleagues from the House and Senate to demand that the Supreme Court protects access to Mifepristone.
 We can’t have Republican politicians across the country playing doctor and telling Americans how to handle their own pregnancies. Mifepristone remains safe and effective.

Not enough money to lower the cost of healthcare, food, gas, etc. but a BILLION of our dollars for Trump’s ballroom. Shameful.

Addressing our mental health crisis - especially when it comes to our youth and veterans - is among the most important work I’m doing in Congress. It’s critical that we end the stigma and remind folks that the body doesn’t stop at the neck. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!
Representative Becca Balint@balint.house.govMay 5(source)
One of my top priorities in Congress is addressing our mental health crisis. During Mental Health Awareness Month and otherwise, we must pursue policies that address workforce shortages and combat consolidation in the health care sector so we can ensure access to services in every community.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month

This is just a temporary win. Yet again, mifepristone was approved by the FDA 25 years ago and it’s been safe and effective for MILLIONS of women since. That doesn’t change based on whether you got the medicine at a doctor’s office or through the mail.
Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail and pharmacies
The Supreme Court has restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortion is provided across the nation.

I’m proud to be celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week this week. I’ve always been passionate about mentoring our future generations. It’s why I became a social studies teacher in the first place and why I’m energized to fight for our educators and students in Congress today.

People told us we were being alarmist when we said Republicans would come after our reproductive rights - overturning Roe v. Wade, allowing women to bleed out in their cars, arresting people for miscarriages, attacking contraception. But we’ve been right every single time.

I’m grateful for my Jewish heritage and the lessons it’s instilled in me – resilience and hope, that every person deserves justice, the desire to serve others. It’s important to spread those ideals, worship in the way that’s most meaningful to you, and pass our traditions on to future generations.

Just a reminder that Trump and Republicans made massive cuts to Medicaid and SNAP so they could super-charge ICE’s budget and fund tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations.   Quite a statement of their priorities.
Representative Becca Balint@balint.house.govMay 2(source)
We’re still reviewing this ruling but let’s be clear: the FDA first approved mifepristone 25 years ago and it’s been safe and effective for millions since. Whether it’s taken at home or in a medical setting has no impact on that. Every American must have the right to control their own pregnancies.
Court restricts abortion access across the US by blocking the mailing of mifepristone
A federal appeals court has restricted access to one of the most common means of abortion in the U.S. by blocking the mailing of mifepristone.

We’ve heard Americans loud and clear.   From increasing pay and taking on corporations, to lowering everyday costs on housing, groceries, and childcare, our agenda reflects that we're ready to take real action.   Read more:

We just voted on the FISA bill. A majority of the House supports reforms to protect Americans from being surveilled by their own government. We can’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results. Without those critical safeguards, I couldn’t support it. I voted NO.

This unauthorized war is yet another example of the Trump admin’s brazen and illegal attempts to consolidate power. 
We need it to end, to bring our servicemembers back to safety, and to get Congress and this administration to focus on lowering the cost of living here at home.
Rep. Becca Balint Introduces War Powers Resolution To Stop Trump’s War of Choice in Iran
Rep. Balint Introduces War Powers Resolution to Stop Trump’s War in Iran “Americans don’t even know why we are in this war, and neither does Congress. “This unauthorized war is yet another example of the Trump administration’s brazen and illegal attempts to consolidate power. At a time when Americans have told us everything is too expensive, it is shameful that we are wasting upwards of a billion dollars a day on this. We need it to end, to bring our servicemembers back to safety, and to get Congress and this administration to focus on lowering the cost of living here at home. “Today, I introduced a War Powers Resolution which would direct the President to stop the use of U.S. Armed Forces in Iran unless explicitly authorized by a declaration of war from Congress. It is essential to hold every member of Congress accountable for allowing this war to continue and put them on record for the American people to see.”
