Trump promised he'd lower costs on day one. But Vermont families certainly aren't getting that.
Folks are struggling with the cost of basic needs like housing and it's a crisis that demands creative solutions and major investments like my Community Housing Act.

I was shocked by what I saw in Chicago and Minneapolis when I traveled to those cities during ICE surges.
The Constitution protects everyone in this country, regardless of immigration status. It’ll take us a long time to reverse the damage this administration has done here.
So far, Trump has spent $1.8+ billion on his vanity projects since coming back into office.
Have you ever thought about what else we could have gotten for that money?

It’s no wonder people on both sides of the border are opposed to this asinine trade war.
No one can afford to pay higher prices to sooth Donald Trump’s ego.
Trump is using our taxpayer dollars to create Trump TV and cut ads for himself ahead of November when he’s not even a candidate.
And, to him, everyone else is a communist or socialist? Give me a break.
We must make mental health a bigger priority in everything we do and that includes the military.
It’s deeply distressing that eight suicide attempts took place during this record deployment, and disappointing that Trump and Hegseth called this fake news.
CNN, Politico, and MS NOW are back at the White House covering the president.
This is what happens when we fight back. We can win.
$4,500 may not be a lot of money to a billionaire but it sure is to most Vermont families.
New data shows that Trump’s agenda is making it even harder for folks to make ends meet than before.
From my $500 billion Community Housing Act to federal investments we’ve been able to secure for communities around Vermont, there’s a lot of hope for action on housing.
Right on the heels of their settlement, the Ellisons and Paramount are considering bringing on ~noted nonpartisan~ Elon Musk (🙄) as an investor.
This is why it's such a big issue for CNN, CBS, and TikTok to be all under one roof. This merger is already looking like a disaster.
The time for our policies to reflect the priorities of our young people is NOW!
It’s absolutely disgusting that Trump seems to take pleasure in dangling the “annihilation” of a country over them while making crystal clear he has a diplomatic path right in front of him.
Americans don't want this illegal mess of a war and it’s long past time for Congress to end it.

Wilber Garces Perez was shot in the back by an ICE agent in Austin. Now he's in detention with the bullet still in his body.
Today, 100+ Members of Congress are demanding that ICE get him medical care, stop trying to deport a key witness, and immediately release the video footage.
Between his war in Iran and absurd tariffs with our closest allies, Trump is making hardworking Vermonters pay a lot more for their essentials.
Remember that these are policy choices the administration has made. They can reverse course at any time - they're choosing not to.
The solidarity we saw from the TV networks covering the White House today MATTERS.
Trump had an event this afternoon but since no mics were there, he was just shouting into the void.
For generations, Vermonters and Quebecers have shared families, communities, and deeply close connections.
But even with that in mind, we’re still facing the fallout from stunts that Kristi Noem pulled, and we have small businesses that won’t survive this trade war.
This is the solidarity we need.
Thank you to all involved for standing together - and for standing up for the First Amendment.
Major television networks will halt coverage of presidential events, according to a memo obtained by The Post, over the White House’s ban on CNN, which was barred alongside MS NOW and Politico in recent days.

The “talking point” that President Biden banned 400 journalists from the White House is not true. But Republican officials are still trying to spread it.
We always have to call this type of thing out and stand up for the truth.
As we begin the holiest day of the Jewish year, I'm wishing you and your loved ones a very meaningful Yom Kippur.
G’mar chatima tovah.
Today, I’m celebrating LGBTQ+ Veterans Day. This marks the day in 2011 when the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” went into effect.
Throughout our nation's history, LGBTQ+ Americans have served in our Armed Forces with honor. I'm proud to salute their sacrifice. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
