Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: Todd Blanche has been at the helm of the release of nude images of survivors, the outing of Jane Does, and the exposure of more than 100 victims' identifying information and documents describing horrific acts of abuse, including my own.
Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: The survivors in this room know there are investigative leads because they are our stories. Mr. Blanche knows it, yet he has chosen not to pursue them. His actions have destroyed survivors’ trust.
Career pardon attorney Liz Oyer declined to recommend letting a convicted domestic abuser and friend of President Trump buy guns again. Todd Blanche fired her for it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VqlvuC0sqmA
Todd Blanche works for Donald Trump. He does not work for the American people.
Like many Vermonters, I’m remembering the brutal floods that devastated our state in July 2023 and 2024. I joined Climate Action Campaign to hear from Vermonters impacted by extreme weather. Our path is clear: we must take urgent climate action and reform our recovery process.
Because of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” five million Americans have already lost their health care. Americans don’t want to pay for a new White House ballroom. They want affordable health care, groceries, and housing.
President Donald Trump is leading us into another reckless war, this time with Cuba. Cuba is about the size of Virginia, and poses no threat to the U.S. Trump should negotiate a deal, not launch another "takeover" financed by taxpayers.
Last month, Congressman Dave Min and I opened an investigation to determine if President Trump has been dishing out pay-for-play pardons. Now, we’re directly requesting information from Trump Administration officials to help uncover the truth.
Mohsen Mahdawi was asked on his final citizenship interview whether he would be willing to protect and defend the Constitution. Within seconds of saying yes, ICE agents stormed in, arrested him, handcuffed his wrists and chained his feet, and threw him in a cell.
This is what happens when you kill renewable energy projects and start a reckless war with Iran that drives up prices.
Because of the energy crisis created by President Trump’s war with Iran, airlines have raised prices and cut services. I’m demanding answers with Senator Duckworth and Senator Blumenthal on how travelers are going to be impacted as the war continues.
Happy National Trails Day! Vermont offers hundreds of miles of trails to take a break and reset in nature. Hiking and being in nature if part of our way of life in Vermont. I’ll keep working to protect them.
During his hearing this week, Secretary Bessent acknowledged that it's unacceptable that mega corporations avoided billions in taxes last year. And yet, he and others in the Trump Administration are getting rid of policies that make sure they pay their fair share. So is it unacceptable or not?
The price of gas is still sky high. Millions have lost their health care. Inflation is rising. And President Trump is building a UFC arena at the White House.
By gutting the Voting Rights Act, the Roberts Court has completed the mission of the Jim Crow laws.
President Trump is setting up a slush fund using your taxpayer dollars to give payouts to January 6 insurrectionists.
For the seventh time, a majority of Republicans refused to hold President Trump accountable and end his reckless war with Iran. Our troops are in danger abroad and prices are soaring at home. This war must end.
Since 1939, Washington Electric Co-op has been providing Vermonters in Washington County with electricity. I was pleased to speak at their Annual Meeting to celebrate their work and discuss my bills that’ll strengthen our grid to keep up with the growing demand for green energy.
I’m deeply concerned by reports that the U.S. military could be supporting controversial Israeli military actions, including the forced displacement of 1 million civilians in Lebanon. Our troops shouldn't be put in a position to be supporting possible war crimes.
President Trump’s policies have forced Vermonters to fork over an extra $2,500 for everyday needs. I toured the HOPE-VT Food Pantry in Middlebury to discuss the rising grocery prices we’re seeing and the need to fight for nutrition programs in the Farm Bill.
Farmers across the country are paying the price for President Trump’s war with Iran. Farmers at Nitty Gritty Grain in Charlotte told me how the price of everything from fuel to shipping fees has jumped, straining their margins even more than before.
I continued my Common Grounds tour with a listening session in Middlebury. I heard from Vermonters on issues from flood recovery, resisting President Trump’s mass deportation campaign, and mending the strained relationship between the U.S. and Canada.
Family farms are in crisis. We need to end tariffs on our trade allies. We need to provide more assistance after natural disasters. And we need to pass a Farm Bill that gives farmers the price stability they need.
From visiting a historical site, to reading the news, to visiting the fire department, the Good Citizen Challenge encourages young Vermonters to get involved and learn about their community. Glad to meet with Susannah from Waterbury, this year's grand prize winner.
This week, Senator Marsha Blackburn and I hosted a roundtable with over 20 artists and the Recording Academy to discuss protecting creators from harmful impacts of AI. We also highlighted our bipartisan bills that makes sure credit and compensation go to artists.
The best part of my job is meeting with Vermonters from all walks of life. They come from different backgrounds. They have different hopes and dreams. But like me—they love this state and want to see it thrive.
Remember when President Trump came into office declaring that he was going to cut wasteful government spending? Apparently, that doesn’t apply to the $70 million luxury jet Kristi Noem bought with taxpayer money.
Last week, I continued my Common Grounds listening sessions tour with events in Lamoille, Grand Isle, and Windsor counties. Meeting with Vermonters and hearing the challenges they’re facing shapes every part of my work in the Senate.
