    All you've done for the last 15 years is try to repeal, defund, deauthorize, and dismantle the Affordable Care Act with no alternative. No alternative. Give me a damn break.

    Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

    This “ship” is being turned into a storm. Both Trump and Vance are totally out of touch with people on the economy. And people have had enough.

    Sorry, everyone — this post is going to be a little cheesy🧀    I loved visiting @jasperhillfarm in Greensboro to see how they make their incredible cheese and to hear directly from them about the challenges they're facing, including tariffs and other rising costs.   Our farms are a huge part of what makes Vermont special, and I’ll keep fighting for them to have a fair shot.

    I’m going to keep doing oversight of ICE because the American people deserve transparency.

    Our community health centers provide an essential service to our communities – providing care to Vermonters in every corner of the state.   Yesterday, I convened a roundtable in Hardwick to hear directly from folks on the ground and make sure I’m doing all I can to fight for them in DC.

    Americans have lost trust in elected officials in both parties, and frankly, I understand why. We need to earn that trust back. Banning stock trading by members of Congress is a commonsense place to start.

    It’s really important that we listen to the next generation and make sure they feel seen and heard by those of us in office. My thanks to the @UVMSGA and every student who came to our town hall on campus for sharing your time, your perspectives, and your thoughtful questions!

    What happens when a president goes easy on mega corporations and monopolists while profiting off shady backroom deals? You’re forced to pay more and settle for less. I’m proud to be releasing this report alongside these amazing colleagues. Read about it here:

    No person or corporation should be above the law. And when Meta is found to have violated a state law 43 million times, they must be made to pay the consequences.   This is unfortunately welcome news.

    Nothing will stop me from defending LGBTQ+ folks in Vermont and across the country, or from working to combat this administration’s discrimination against us.   I’m proud of this perfect score from @HRC and look forward to keeping up the fight in the years to come.

    This is a violation of international law and absolutely unacceptable. I’m grateful Brad has been released but he never should have been detained in the first place. Others remain in custody - all for the crime of accompanying farmers during the olive harvest - and they all must be released immediately.   This is why we must pass legislation like the Stop the Settlements Act and tell the Israeli government that enough is enough.

    I’ve been released from IDF custody with a “warning,” apparently because of my public profile (I told them I wasn’t even a congressmember yet, just a nominee). But several dozen rabbis & participants harvesting olives with me are still in detention. For harvesting olives. They should all be released immediately. To be clear: Palestinians face far worse consequences every day. These detentions by the IDF are one more attempt to undermine Palestinians’ right to harvest their olive groves, travel on their roads, and live in their homes. Yet one more element of escalating, and very clearly state-sponsored ethnic cleansing. We’ll update on their status as soon as we hear.

    Let’s talk about Alina Habba’s pay to play pardon scheme. This abuse of the pardon power is, of course, outrageous. We are absolutely looking at any way to rein stuff like this in, no matter how difficult it is. No president of any party should be able to do this.

    The Northeast Dairy Business Innovation Center is an essential resource for Vermont dairy farmers and grants from this program help make sure that dairy can prosper into the future.   I joined colleagues – incl. @SenSanders and @SenPeterWelch – to press USDA to reverse course.

    I’m disgusted by what Trump is doing to Ukraine right now. It threatens the safety of all of Europe and ours as well, to be aligned with a brutal dictator like Putin.    We must work with likeminded Republicans - they exist on this - to urgently chart a new course.

    Housing is one of our biggest challenges in Vermont, and it touches so many of our other issues too.   That’s why it was so exciting to secure $1.75 million for the new West Brattleboro Terrace, which will provide affordable housing to 30 seniors when it’s complete.

    Donald Trump is gaslighting people about the state of our economy.    Just ask yourself: do you have more money in your pocket today than you did on the day he took office in 2025?

    We have been notified by the U.S. Postal Inspection Service that a letter intended for our office may contain a suspicious substance. We are working closely with postal inspectors and the appropriate law enforcement agencies to ensure the letter is safely intercepted and tested. Threats against public servants are serious, and the safety of my staff and the Vermonters we serve is my priority. We are grateful to the postal inspectors and law enforcement officials working to address these incidents, and we will continue serving Vermonters while the investigation proceeds.
