Rep. Becca Balint

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.

“…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.

The First Amendment doesn’t have an exception for when Donald Trump gets his feelings hurt. This is an outrageous attempt to keep you from learning the truth about this admin’s corruption.

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.

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.

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.

As a former history teacher, I know how important it is that we tell the full American story. The answer isn't to erase the parts Trump doesn't like. It's to teach them.   Our Smithsonian museums – which are FREE to visit – are national treasures. We can’t let them be corrupted.

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.

Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill into law one year ago yesterday. Are you finding it easier to make ends meet? Based on what I've been hearing from Vermonters, not many can say yes. Americans are paying the price, and we won't let Republicans escape it.

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.
