We don’t get many wins these days, but when we do, we need to celebrate them!
 I was proud to lead 105 of my colleagues in defending care for trans youth. Today, we learned the Trump admin backed off this threat.
 I'll always defend our kids, no matter their gender identity. 🏳️‍⚧️

So the war that was not a war, that Trump said was over but never really was, is back on. We must hold this admin accountable for going back to war with Iran over the explicit opposition of Congress.

It’s no secret that it’s too hard to find affordable housing, whether in Vermont or any other state.   My Community Housing Act would deploy $500 billion across the nation to increase our supply of affordable housing and ensure it stays affordable into the future.

I watched the videos of the aftermath of ICE agents killing a man in Biddeford, Maine. I’m absolutely outraged and so many of my colleagues are silent. Do we really want our country to be a place where federal agents can gun people down in the streets with no accountability?

Todd Blanche absolutely cannot be the top cop in this country. He’s at the center of the Epstein cover up and is even being accused by New Mexico officials of standing in their way as they try to gather evidence and pursue further prosecutions of people who helped Epstein abuse women and girls.

Trump and Republicans in Congress can call it whatever name they want. But the facts are the facts.   Their signature legislation took health coverage and food assistance from millions. People will remember that.

The recent killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is disgusting and heartbreaking, but it’s not shocking. How many other people need to be shot and killed by federal agents before Republicans let us do something? Not another penny to ICE.

This weekend marks the anniversary of the horrific flooding we faced in Vermont in 2023 and 2024. But tucked into all the despair and destruction is a story of incredible resilience. My office continues to be focused on helping communities rebuild and invest in the future.

Good news tonight: the ROAD to Housing bill became law at midnight without Trump’s signature!   Turns out even a presidential temper tantrum couldn’t get in the way of real, good, bipartisan housing relief.

Any time I can bring our tax dollars back to serve Vermont, I'm excited. I want our health care facilities to thrive, and I want more housing being built.   My team and I will keep working with our local partners to ensure Vermonters have the resources they need.

Last night, Sen. Peter Welch and I attended an Extreme Weather People’s Hearing in Barre.   Hosted by the Climate Action Campaign, we heard from Vermonters about their experiences living through the catastrophic floods in 2023 and 2024. We must hold Big Oil accountable and fight climate change.

Trump has the attention span of a gnat. That’s why the ceasefire in Iran is collapsing. This moment requires dedication and focus from our president. He has neither.

I spent today in Barre and up around Plainfield talking to folks about how they’ve been recovering from the catastrophic floods as we approach the anniversary this weekend. Through all the hardship, I’m always so impressed by the resilience of Vermonters.

Vermonters, primary election day is just over a month away on August 11th. I recently sat down with VT Secretary of State Copeland Hanzas to discuss important information that you need to know.   Go to vote.vermont.gov for the Vermont Voter Portal and be sure to make your voice heard!

Whether you’re in Vermont or another state, rural is rural. And the struggles that we have around housing and around health care are the same.   It’s an honor to work with local officials to bring federal dollars home to address these issues.

I was in Springfield today to celebrate $2.2 million I secured for housing and health care in this community. I’ll continue to do all I can to bring federal funding back to Vermont to address our most pressing issues.

I know how hard it is these days to find the positive and the hope in our daily lives. I feel it too. It’ll be tough in moments but we’ve got to keep pushing forward.

Happy summer! ☀️ It brings me so much joy watching my dog enjoy the Vermont outdoors. What’s your favorite part of the summer in our state?

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸 Wishing everyone in Vermont and across the country a day full of fun, celebration, and community as we come together to celebrate our nation’s 250th.

Had a terrific time at the “50 for 250” exhibit at the Vermont History Museum in Montpelier. As we celebrate this weekend, I’m hoping everyone can find time with friends and family to celebrate what we have and a better future for all!

I’m still filled with so much hope after talking to congressional interns yesterday. No matter if they were serving in a Democratic or Republican office, it was clear these young people all want us to be doing work that brings the country together for a better tomorrow.

Supporting a free press by day, attempting to channel The Boss by night. 🎸🎤
 Loved joining the Radio and Television Correpondents’ Association to celebrate the hardworking Congressional reporters who keep the public informed—and yes, I took to their karaoke stage with the legendary Born to Run!

Lawyers are telling their clients they should hire lobbyists and political fixers with close connections to the White House to get their deals past antitrust enforcers.   This type of corruption helps the giant companies looking to get even richer at our expense.

2 years ago today, the Supreme Court handed Donald Trump sweeping immunity for actions taken as president. The message was clear: there are different rules for the powerful. And Trump has spent every day since proving exactly why that decision was so dangerous.

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Donald Trump not caring about the issues that matter.   Americans couldn’t be clearer about how unaffordable housing is right now. It’s time for Trump to sign the damn housing bill.

In the aftermath of today’s Supreme Court ruling that states can ban trans kids from playing sports, I’m just sad. I’m sad for the trans kids who won’t get to play the sports they love. And as a parent, I’m sad for the parents who will have to watch their government discriminate against their kids.

Vermonters care about their neighbors and their communities, and we show up for one another, regardless of who someone is or who they love. That’s what’s been inspiring me this Pride Month.

I led 75 of my colleagues in condemning the current Israeli military engagement in Lebanon and their intentional destruction of civilian homes and infrastructure, possibly with American-made weapons. (1/2)

Throughout our nation’s history, generations of immigrants have chosen to make their home here and contributed so much to our communities.   Happy Immigrant Heritage Month!

Since I’ve been in Congress, Republican leadership has cancelled 74 days of work - days we were supposed to be voting in DC. It’s outrageous. Why did they want the majority so badly if they were going to waste all this time?
