All you've done for the last 15 years is try to repeal, defund, deauthorize, and dismantle the Affordable Care Act with no alternative. No alternative. Give me a damn break.

Mike Johnson: "Let me look right into the camera and tell you very clearly: Republicans are the ones concerned about healthcare. Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

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.

“…DOJ staff have privately complained that the Trump administration is essentially deciding not to enforce antitrust laws…” So basically, as if we didn’t already know, Trump and his admin are deliberately not enforcing the law and catering to their ultra-rich friends by letting them raise your prices to line their pockets.

NEW >> Trump administration is scuttling 3 big corporate merger cases and refusing to enforce anti trust laws that for nearly a century have protected US consumers from monopolies and price gouging . W @KDilanianMSNOW ms.now/news/trump-app…

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.

This comes just weeks after Republicans gave $70B to immigration enforcement without any accountability measures and it's disgusting.   Agents acting on behalf of OUR government must be accountable to the public they're meant to protect and serve.   We must dismantle ICE.

ICE killed a man without wearing body cameras all because someone in his van “resembled the target” though it wasn’t them.   Now we’ve learned that the agents lied about what happened, mocked the man they shot as he was dying, and stripped his ID from him when they brought him to the hospital.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: The men arrested alongside Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, including his brother, are contesting DHS account of the fatal shooting, say he didn’t ram any ICE officers. washingtonpost.com/immigration/20…

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.

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.

Trump’s “deal” with Iran is already over. Oil prices have already shot up. Our servicemembers will be back in harm’s way.   Both the House and the Senate have now called for this to end. Americans have BEEN done with Trump’s vanity war in Iran.
The Associated Press@AP

President Donald Trump warned Iran that the U.S. was preparing for another night of strikes, threatening to strike civilian infrastructure and seize Kharg Island. apnews.com/article/iran-u…
