Glad to be in Shelburne to celebrate 94 new affordable apartments open to Vermonters.
I’m proud to have secured $5 million in federal funds for this project, and I’ll continue working to get more affordable housing built in Vermont.

I'm praying for the families of those impacted in the shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas today, and am praying for a quick recovery for the people who were hurt.
While we don’t know all of the details yet, we must all work together to lower the temperature and stop the violence.
For decades, the U.S. has advocated for a two-state solution between Palestine and Israel. But the Trump Administration has shifted course to support Netanyahu’s warpath.
We must reverse course and build on France and Saudi Arabia's push for peace at the U.N. General Assembly.
The Trump Administration has been hijacking our justice system to go after political opponents while protecting his allies. And now he's hiding alleged corruption by Tom Homan.
I joined my colleagues in demanding a full investigation into a possible cover-up.
Acetaminophen does not cause autism.
For months and months, Republicans have known they needed Democratic votes to keep the government open and refused to negotiate on saving discounted health insurance for millions of Americans.
And now on the eve of the shutdown President Trump is again refusing to negotiate.
President Trump is using the Department of Justice not to uphold the law, but to punish his political enemies.
I've joined Senator Jeff Merkley and my colleagues to introduce a resolution calling on the U.S. to recognize a Palestinian State alongside a secure Israel.
A two-state solution is the best path towards peace and security for both Israel and Palestine. https://bit.ly/3IC1tfd
Secretary Kennedy replaced our top vaccine advisory panel with vaccine skeptics, many of them with no relevant experience.
Last week, the panel didn't understand what they were voting on, then opposed coverage of a key shot for kids under four. It's a disaster for our health.

Here's what's at stake in these budget negotiations. If Republicans refuse to extend discounted Affordable Care Act premiums, millions of people around the country will be forced to pay more for their health insurance every month.
L’shanah Tovah to Jewish communities in Vermont and around the world celebrating Rosh Hashanah this evening!
Margaret and I wish you all a good and sweet new year.
To recap, in the past week, President Trump has:
-Coerced a TV network to pull Jimmy Kimmel's show.
-Forced a U.S. attorney to resign under pressure to charge New York A.G. Letitia James.
-Suggested the FCC will remove broadcast rights from those who air negative coverage.
I met with Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour at the U.N. General Assembly to express my support for a two-state solution and the important progress made by President Macron to bring peace to Israel and Palestine.
Democracy doesn’t crumble in one fell swoop.
It happens when checks and balances are abandoned. It happens when free speech is punished. It happens when the press is intimidated.
Republicans are allowing President Trump to set us on a dangerous course towards authoritarianism.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that 2.2 million people will lose health care next year—and millions more each year after—if Congress doesn’t extend ACA premium discounts.
Congress needs to work together so folks in red states and blue states stay healthy.
