🚨 WOW! Utah Republicans have reportedly secured the necessary signatures to PROCEED with Prop 4 — to OVERTURN activist judges and stop a new Democrat Congressional seat from forming This is a huge win! Keep pushing 🔥

When the glossy 8-page sales piece from the school district comes in the mail ahead of the school budget vote, I wasn't expecting it to have a major typo in a headline on page 2. #vtpoli #vted

No it's very different. Progressives passed the Global Warming Solutions Act Phil Scott vetoed it Progressives want unlimited increases in education spending Phil Scott wants to reform it. Progressives want to empty the prisons Phil Scott wants to hold repeat offenders accountable Progressives want to stop housing from being built and to out half the state into a wildlife refuge. Phil Scott wants us to move forward on cutting red tape to get housing built. If you think Phil Soctt is a progressive, it just means you aren't paying attention

You say moderate, I say progressive … it means the same thing. It is the abandonment of core conservative principles that define what being a republican is, while I agree, being fiscally conservative is one branch… when you cut down the tree, the branch you sit on is meaningless … and any real libertarian would not have have locked down his state for a Nuremberg level event …

They aren’t hiding it anymore. Democrats are openly saying they are running as Republicans Kate Barr, North Carolina “Republican” Candidate “I'm not a real Republican. Like I am telling people the truth. I knock on a door and I say I'm running in the Republican primary, but I'm not a Republican. I'm a progressive. I'm running as a Republican in the Republican primary for Congressional District 14 — We gotta f*cking win right now because we are in an emergency, like a democratic emergency. And so the place I can win is as a fake Republican.” This is literally illegal, but explains why we have so many RINOs in office

@memeinator8 @TheSCIF @WallStreetApes I explain it as he is a moderate Republican who is socially libertarian and fiscally conservative. There are a lot of Republicans like that in Vermont.

How do you explain our governor, the leading republican in VT, voting democrat for the last two cycles. Also how do U explain him signing S.37 and S.28 and supporting prop 5... His work against the 2nd amendment is impressive as well...Fake news indeed... when the uniparty agree on killing babies and throttling the 2nd amendment it's safe to say Phil and Gov Walz are on the same side... Any state elected official not speaking loudly in support of POTUS is a progressive and the cancer in the party.

Fake news. Every elected Republican in Montpelier sees the Progressive movement as being the principal reason for our state's decline, and the chief obstacle for us turning the state around. In Vermont it's EASY for Progressives to win as Progressive Democrats. They have no reason to run as a Republican, like they do in other southern states.

@TheSCIF @WallStreetApes This has been practiced inVermont for decades, they call themselves progressive republicans… the lying vipers have worked themselves in like a cancer… right @Dame4VT

I thought a better solution was to allow each Senator exactly one and ONLY one non-speaking filibuster at any one time. The stronger the minority, the more they could block. But the majority would at least be able to push forward their 49th top priority, and get some actual governance done. It would also be an incentive for the majority to avoid Omnibus bills and pass more single-issue bills. One specific senator could also be pressured to block, or lift the block on a particular bill. The minority would have to negotiate among themselves who would block what. If the minority was blocking 49 bills and a new one comes out, the minority would be forced to decide whether they block the new bill, or they permit a vote on a currently blocked bill so that they block the new one. The majority still gets the outcome they want, but subject to the priority of the minority.

Like Dorothy when she discovered the power of her ruby slippers, senators are realizing that we’ve had the power to break a filibuster all along We must enforce existing Senate rules to make senators speak to filibuster Time to use our “ruby slippers”

@vtdigger “The concern is that they can publish this dashboard and the response could be that there hasn’t been much change under Trump, what’s the big fuss about?” Lambek said. The concern is that the data undermines an alarmist narrative.

Emma Matters, an immigration attorney at the Vermont Asylum Assistance Project, told VTDigger, “This is really something flashy and public-facing the Scott administration can do to distract from where they’re failing immigrants in Vermont right now.” buff.ly/7u4dzXR

You have to admit that controlling Venezuelan oil and suppressing prices for the next year by flooding the market does several things for Trump: 1) gives Republicans something to point to as progress on "affordability" for midterms 2) undercuts Russia's ability to continue funding war in Ukraine 3) disrupts China's supply chain 4) puts pressure on other Latin leaders to cooperate with Trump

🚨Just in: President Trump has declared: “Venezuela and the United States together, we have 55% of the oil in the world.”

In his State of the State address on Wednesday, Gov. Phil Scott urged lawmakers to defy political headwinds and follow through on sweeping education reform legislation that passed last year but is now in jeopardy. Read more: vermontpublic.org/local-news/202…

@nicksortor This seems like a major flaw in our immigration regulations. Assuming he is here on a diplomatic visa, it seems like that visa (like a tourist visa) should not have such a broad work permit that it allows you to start a business in the US while here on a diplomatic purpose.
