On Veterans Day, we thank our servicemembers and their families for the many ways they put our country’s needs ahead of their own.
Today and every day, we must work together to strengthen the resources that support this brave and selfless community.

Winter storms in Gaza flooded 70,000 tents this past weekend and it’s getting colder. They need tents, tarps, blankets, cooking gas, and health services.
Palestinians are still living in the aftermath of the Israeli government’s blockade.
When Democrats take control of Congress in January, we must immediately work to:
—Lower the cost of living.
—Restore health care.
—Stop the war with Iran.
—End President Trump’s trade war.
Harmeet Dhillon took control of the Civil Rights Division—formed to protect the most vulnerable people in America—and used the significant might and resources of the office to attack the very same people.
She shouldn’t have been confirmed in the first place.
States already spend millions and devote immense resources to recover after disasters, but they can’t do it alone. Disasters will only continue to hurt our communities, and the federal government needs to be there to help.
We need to work across the aisle to reform FEMA, not destroy it.
Stopped by Rutland as part of my Common Grounds tour to hear from Vermonters about the challenges they’re facing.
The Trump Administration is attempting to cut staff and services from Head Start, which supports our kids and their families.
I visited the Head Start center in Rutland to hear how this could hurt Vermont and share how I’m fighting against it.
Why have 1 in 12 rural hospitals closed in the past 15 years? https://bit.ly/4zssmXO
On Indigenous Peoples' Day, we celebrate their contributions to our society.
We must recommit also ourselves to reckoning with past harms so we create a stronger future together.
NEW: Many of the things you buy every day would’ve been cheaper this year if it wasn’t for President Trump’s tariffs.
He’s making a choice to cost you money with his trade war.
The White River National Fish Hatchery has been reviving native fish species in Vermont and New York for decades. But now the Trump Administration wants to shutter it.
I’m leading a letter to protect the work that's healing our ecosystem and boosting tourism revenue.
Folks in Brattleboro have the same concerns as the other Vermonters I’ve during my Common Grounds tour. They want Congress to lower the cost of health care, energy, and housing, rather than giving tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.
I’ll keep fighting to bring us out of this affordability crisis.
The Trump Administration is slashing fuel efficiency standards for cars.
It means you’ll pay thousands more at the pump over the lifetime of your car, especially as Trump’s illegal war with Iran drives gas prices even higher. https://bit.ly/47FRL4j
It’s been three years since Israel was shaken by a horrifying terror attack by Hamas resulting in the brutal assault, torture, and killing of over 1,400 civilians, and hundreds held hostage.
Today, I’m thinking of the victims, their families, and those around the world devastated by that dark day.
92% of the people in Gaza have only a canvas tent or a plastic sheet for shelter.
92% of the people in Gaza have only a canvas tent or a plastic sheet for shelter.
The Trump Administration has rolled back a Biden-era rule that added sexual orientation and gender identity protections for students.
It’s a disgusting attack on the civil rights of students who want to safely learn like everyone else.
I spoke on the Senate Floor about American citizens killed, injured, and detained by Israeli security forces.https://bit.ly/4hmPhh5
I joined my colleagues in forcing a vote on a resolution ordering the Trump Administration to report on the killings of Americans in the West Bank and the failure to bring perpetrators to justice. https://youtube.com/shorts/Q13cWv7giJw?is=edo1X5i0J8z5ddXR
