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.

Thank you to the many states—including Vermont—who carried on with this trial despite the Trump Administration settling and dropping out.

Live Nation has been ripping off concertgoers for too long.

This verdict is a victory for music fans and a blow against corporate greed.

Once again, Republicans have blocked our effort to stop President Trump’s senseless war with Iran.

How many more lives lost and billions of dollars wasted before they finally stand up to him?

I will join Senator Sanders to force a vote blocking the sale of bombs and bulldozers to Israel.

Prime Minister Netanyahu is using them to displace millions of civilians in Lebanon, Iran, and Gaza.

The U.S. shouldn't finance civilian suffering.

I hope our colleagues join us.

Democrats will give Republicans another chance to join us in ending President Trump’s reckless war with Iran this week.

Another chance to protect American troops, save civilian lives, and rein in gas prices.

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.

How embarrassing for President Trump to go on an angry tirade against Pope Leo simply because he called for peace between the U.S. and Iran.

Pope Leo wants to reduce human suffering.

The president can't handle criticism, one of the reasons he's unfit to be commander in chief.

Immigrants come to America for different reasons and different circumstances.

But like our ancestors, they all believe in the idea of America as the land of opportunity.

I was honored to be a small part of the naturalization process for some of Vermont's newest U.S. citizens.

I recently secured $664,000 in federal funding to help Vermonters in Lamoille County prepare for floods in the future.

I visited with local leaders to learn more about the tools being funded to better protect Vermonters from the next flood.

What was this all for?

13 American troops killed and hundreds wounded.
We haven't destroyed Iran's nuclear program.
Americans are paying billions in higher gas prices.
We've spent $44 billion taxpayer dollars.

President Trump accomplished nothing and Americans paid the price.

I visited the future site in Colchester to celebrate this project that will go on to provide thousands of Vermonters with affordable, quality care.

President Trump is threatening to commit war crimes against an entire civilization.

Is there nothing he will do or say that will make Republicans join us in reining him in?

We must come back to Washington and vote to block the use of military force in Iran.

As we enter tax season, a reminder that President Trump killed the Direct File program, which allowed taxpayers to file their returns for free.

This only helps huge corporations like TurboTax and H&R Block, and it costs you money.

President Trump has spent $25 billion of your taxpayer money on this reckless war with Iran.

That’s $25 billion we can’t spend on health care, food assistance, or education.

One year ago, President Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs.

We’ve seen massive layoffs, small businesses close, and the average family pay an extra $1,745 since. 

He must end these trade wars, which are harming working families.

Unbelievable.

Republicans have already cut health care for millions of people so they could give billionaires tax cuts.

Now they want to cut even more for President Trump’s reckless war?

No way.

This isn’t an isolated incident.

More than 100 journalists have been killed by Prime Minister Netanyahu’s forces since the war began. More have been injured, detained, and blocked from reporting.

America should stop sending weapons to a country so reckless with press safety.
