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.
Elon Musk blew into Washington knowing little about the government, fired tens of thousands of hard-working people, and shut down programs that save lives.
Now he's leaving to go back to his billion-dollar company, and the American people are left holding the bag.
Vermonters are outraged that President Trump is raising costs and rolling back progress in our fight against climate change.
I joined Energy Action Network in Winooski to share why I oppose the Republican tax bill, which cuts clean energy jobs and raises costs for folks.
President Trump's tax bill eliminates subsidized loans, affordable payment plans, and kicks students off Pell Grants. Parents already stress about paying for college, and now they'll have even fewer options.
It means fewer kids from working families will be able to go to college.
Costs are already rising, yet Republicans are trying to take away tax credits that help families and small businesses save money on their energy bills every month?
It makes no sense.
President Trump has placed this country in a constitutional crisis. His actions have been chaotic and cruel.

Vermonters I talk with don’t understand why Supreme Court justices are allowed to accept private airplane travel and yacht vacations from billionaires. It's shattered the public's trust in America's most powerful court.
I'm proud to join @whitehouse.senate.gov in introducing this bill.
It was a busy day between events with constituents, but I managed to find time to stop at Mach’s Market in Pawlet!
To the hundreds of Vermonters who joined me in Rutland last night, thank you.
I take the stories you share with me to the Senate floor every day so I can keep fighting for you.
Not only does Vermont have strong economic ties to Canada, but we have a deep affection for its people.
I joined my Senate colleagues in Ottawa to reaffirm the friendship between our two countries, despite President Trump's attempt to destroy it.
President Trump's tax plan will add $2.8 trillion to the debt over the next 10 years.
It’s not to expand health care, it’s not to increase food aid, it’s not to build more housing. He’s taking those away.
He’s blowing up the deficit to give billionaires like himself tax cuts.
Small businesses in Vermont are facing rising costs due to President Trump's on-again, off-again trade war.
I gathered business owners in Manchester to hear more about the challenges they’re facing and share how I’m fighting to give them the fair chance they deserve.
Congratulations to the Middlebury College Women's Lacrosse team on winning the 2025 D3 national championship, their fourth title in a row.
It’s a historic feat achieved through tenacity, grit, and a standard of excellence.
If Republicans pass President Trump’s tax bill, 16,000 Vermonters could lose some or all of their SNAP benefits.
It would be devastating to families who are already dealing with higher food prices from Trump’s tariffs.
This is what happens when you fire both the workers who inspect our food and the workers in charge of alerting the public to food contamination outbreaks.
President Trump's reckless cuts are putting us all at risk.
I’m pleased that Vermont will receive $30 million in funding to help our communities recover from last July’s floods.
I was proud to help pass and secure this funding that our communities need.

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and affording their medication.
I reintroduced the SMART Prices Act with @welch.senate.gov and 25 of our colleagues to expand Medicare’s power to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, & save taxpayers money.
Senator Van Hollen: If you don't have the people power to review proposals for new devices or new drugs, there may be cures out there that we never benefit from.

Senator Catherine Cortez Masto: If you're in Nevada and you're in a rural area and that rural clinic closes or that program closes, you may have to drive four hours just to access another program.
You're lucky if you can do that and still have a job.
