VICTORY: We won a summary judgment in our case against the Trump Administration over threats to healthcare providers that provide gender-affirming care to youth. This is a win in our ongoing fight for bodily autonomy. I’ll continue fighting to ensure that gender-affirming care remains protected.

The jury’s verdict is a win for consumers and for the marketplace. I look forward to the next phase of this lawsuit, which will determine Live Nation’s financial penalties and other consumer remedies.

I remain steadfast in my commitment to defend the Constitution and safeguard your right to vote. Read more about our most recent lawsuit here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2026/04...

The Constitution makes clear that states have the power to run their own elections, and it does not authorize the President to interfere in state election administration. I continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with Secretary of State Copeland Hanzas to protect free and fair elections in Vermont.

State AGs prevented the unconstitutional Birthright EO from taking effect. Now SCOTUS will consider its lawfulness. Our joint statement here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2026/04...

Read more about our latest lawsuit: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2026/03...

Imposing funding conditions on programs that feed the most vulnerable Americans is illegal and cruel. It also keeps with a theme of this Administration of violating the Constitution and federal law - regardless of the cost to Americans - to further the President’s extreme social agenda.

With our latest lawsuit, I am standing up for our federalist system and Vermont’s values by challenging the Administration’s illegal actions. Read more: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2026/03...

The Trump Administration backed away from enforcing fair housing laws in the midst of a housing crisis, and its actions violate federal law and state sovereignty. Vermont has its own antidiscrimination laws and the right to enforce them.

Vermonters have the right to peacefully protest, and I hope that in moments like these we continue to show the very best of Vermont - standing up for our values and for each other with respect and courage.

Unfortunately, the Trump Administration is spreading fear throughout our communities in its implementation of the President’s immigration enforcement agenda.

The Trump Administration’s weaponization of data to further its anti-DEI agenda burdens colleges and universities and puts student privacy at risk. It’s another illegal attempt to use a trusted governmental tool to further their political agenda, and we are going to court to stop it.

I will keep standing up for the Constitution. Read more at ago.vermont.gov/blog/2026/03...

Today I sued the Trump Administration to stop the latest round of illegal tariffs. Only Congress can levy taxes, not the President. This latest scheme is an attempt to circumvent SCOTUS’ recent ruling and the limitations on the President’s authority established by the Constitution and Congress.

This is a win for Vermont families and small businesses who have been impacted by rising costs caused by the President’s unlawful tariffs. This is also a win for the rule of law - the Court held that the President cannot usurp authority the Constitution vests in Congress.

Today the Supreme Court ruled in favor of our multistate coalition declaring President Trump’s broad tariffs unconstitutional. The Court held that IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs - a tax on Americans.

Decisions to seek that care should be between a patient and their doctor. That’s why late last night, I sued to block enforcement of HHS’s unlawful “declaration” that attempts to limit access to gender-affirming care for young people. Read more here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2025/12...

I will never stop fighting for our rights to control our own bodies, and that includes access to gender-affirming care for transgender youth. Contrary to what Secretary Kennedy claims, the major medical organizations agree that gender-affirming care is safe and effective.
