I was thrilled to welcome a group of students from U-32 during their visit to Washington.
I’m excited to see how these young Vermonters will transform into tomorrow’s leaders.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
President Trump's deployment of the National Guard without the authorization of the Governor is designed to raise tensions.
Everyone has the right to peacefully protest and has the right to do so safely. This is blatant intimidation of those assembling.
I was honored to toss the opening tipoff during the opening basketball game for Vermont’s Special Olympics Summer Games.
It was incredible to witness the talent of our local athletes, and I thank all the Vermonters who bring this event together every year.
Too many Palestinians have been killed trying to get food at distribution sites in Gaza. Locking food into camps surrounded by armed soldiers isn't the answer.
Netanyahu must immediately stop blocking humanitarian organizations waiting to get food to these desperate families.
I joined the Vermont VFW at their State Convention to share how I’m working to ensure our veterans and their families can access health care, put food on the table, keep their homes warm, and more.
We must support those who have bravely protected us.
I met with Officer Harry Dunn, who bravely defended our Capitol during the January 6 insurrection.
It was a reminder that in the face of some of the greatest threats to democracy in our nation's history, we can all make the choice to stand up and protect it.
Today, we remember those who gave their lives on D-Day in defense of freedom.
Now more than ever, we must stand up for the values those brave servicemembers died for. Democracy and freedom must always prevail.
President Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” would be one of the largest transfers of wealth to the richest Americans in our nation’s history.
A travel ban will not make the U.S. safe.
Bigotry will not make the U.S. safe.
Trump’s tax bill is going to raise your energy bill.
President Trump’s 25-50% tariffs on aluminum and steel went into effect yesterday. If you buy any of these items, you can thank him for the higher prices you’re about to see:
Cars
Canned drinks (BEER, soda, and seltzer)
Dishwashers
Dryers
Lawn mowers
Baseball bats
Tennis rackets
This morning, I met with Yechiel Leiter, the Israeli Ambassador to the U.S.
I reiterated my support for the Israeli people and emphasized my concern about the continued suffering in Gaza.
We must keep working together to free the remaining hostages and surge humanitarian aid.
Yesterday, the Senate Agriculture committee advanced the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, legislation Senator Marshall and I introduced to expand access to nutritious milk in schools.
I’ll cheers to that.
President Trump has sent Congress a request to cut $9.4 billion in funding from NPR, PBS, global health programs, and foreign aid.
I will vote no.

This Pride Month, my message to the LGBTQ+ community in Vermont and around the country is this: regardless who you are or who you love, you matter.
And you belong.
While Pride Month is a celebration, we can't celebrate without also acknowledging that the LGBTQ+ community is under attack in America.
I'll continue to fight for the LGBTQ+ community’s rights and protections. Everyone deserves to be treated equally under the law.
President Trump and his administration can't pretend to be protectors of free speech while also attempting to deport a student for writing an op-ed they disagree with.
The Trump Administration is shutting down Job Corps centers around the country, including the one in Vergennes.
Job Corps supports low-income young people and offers them education and training to set them up for career success.
This is an attack on their future.
It wasn't long ago that then-Senator Rubio and his GOP colleagues would've been outraged if a Cuban, Nicaraguan, or Venezuelan was forcibly deported after fleeing oppression.
But under the Trump regime, they say nothing as thousands here legally are rounded up and deported.
