The price of gas is still sky high. Millions have lost their health care. Inflation is rising.

And President Trump is building a UFC arena at the White House.

Holding detainees in conditions so terrible that many die from preventable disease or su***de violates basic human rights.

I will continue to oppose ICE funding until real change is made.

Eid Mubarak!

I'm wishing the Muslim community in Vermont and around the world a very blessed time while celebrating Eid al-Adha.

Senator Andy Kim is the latest Member of Congress to be attacked by ICE while conducting oversight.

We need ICE and CBP reforms now—it can’t wait.

On Memorial Day, we honor service members who made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our nation.

Today and every day is a reminder that this is the land of the free, because of the brave.

The Ebola outbreak in central Africa is spreading rapidly, already killing over 130 people.

The antisemitic attack on a Jewish-owned business in Cavendish is disturbing and unacceptable.

I’m grateful the Vermont State Police have started an investigation.

Vermont State Police are investigating a possible hate crime after antisemitic messages were spray-painted on a local business in Windsor County early Wednesday morning.

President Trump is demanding $1 billion to rebuild the East Wing he destroyed.

Vermonters don’t like that at all.

I’m really pleased that Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport - BTV will receive $260,000 to build a children’s play area and install a new lactation pod, making it easier for families to fly.

The funding comes from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law we worked hard to pass in 2021.

No relief for health care. No relief for groceries. No relief for your electric bill. But $1 billion for a ballroom and $1.8 billion for a corrupt slush fund. That's the Republican agenda.
