My daughter got her license today! She is excited. We are excited. We are also nervous. Freedom for her! Freedom for us! Only kid...big moments in life. February first and she remembered to say "Rabbit Rabbit" All is good.

While headed to Lake Champlain Chamber breakfast this morning I saw black smoke and then this fire. Spear and Swift Sts. Looks like new construction, so likely/hopefully no one is injured. Thank you first responders for rushing in.

Two things... 1) I agree with Maxwell Alejandro Frost 2) so pleased that Becca Balint is right there with him doing amazing work as well!

People worked for decades to reduce acid rain due to its impacts. While this is an acute event, the human, soil, and water impacts in the immediate area are concentrated and devastating. Where is the outrage? What are the regulations and were they followed? #Accountability.

What an amazing piece about history and history in the making. We are in a moment in time where "up" could become the reality for so many people as more and more folks become inspired. We can all help folks "spread their wings" no matter who they are. travelandleisure.com/american-airli…

Great event with @lgbtqvictoryfund on bluesky great speech by our Sec of State Mike Pieciak For Treasurer with strong love and appreciation to Bill Lippert for his leadership and mentorship. Vermont has the highest percentage of LGBTQ legislators in the country. #pride #future #leadership

You are indeed correct!!! What was I thinking!?!? Thank you.

Today is Town meeting day. Local decisions are foundational to our day to day lives. Local zoning, planning, policing, all impact our opportunities. If you want changes, get involved. You decide who decides. Choose which investments are made. Choose to use your voice. #vtpoli

Short sighted decisions can come back to haunt. In this case, it is about reproductive liberty being protected in Wyoming due to a political stunt, years ago, against Obamacare. But it is also a good lesson to make decisions/statements with deliberation and to think long term.

Here is a short, but very important, breakdown of the terms "woke" and "stay woke" and how these terms have been appropriated by right wing mouthpieces in an Orwellian way. Quick read. Well worth it as we fight the misinformation/disinformation.

What a terrible loss for our community. So much love and such a kind spirit for everybody in the community. Too soon. My condolences to the Sisters of Lemay and all of Michael and Margaurites family and friends. You will be forever missed. vtdigger.org/2023/03/28/bel…

I really appreciate Governor Scott's comments on Vermont Public this morning. His sobering remarks regarding our former President and our democracy are very important. #vtpoli

Deeply saddened and concerned about the possible shooting in Morrisville. I have seen four police vehicles on I89 and VT100 as I went to and from an event in Waterbury tonight. For now just rumors, but I hope people are safe and our law enforcement is safe. #vtpoli

Deeply saddened to hear the opioid deaths in Vermont have gone up again. We must make MAT more accessible, it works! And we must create harm reduction sites to reduce such unnecessary loss. Glad the legislature is moving forward with some important steps. #vtpoli

Great to hear you read from your new memoir! So human, humble and funny. Honored that you remembered that I registered you to vote (for the first time!) So many moons ago. Tx to Rachel for being the sow doula so I could attend. Good luck with your book! #vtpoli

Thank you for coming to Vermont. I am sorry I could not attend as the final gavel went into the evening and I had get home to prepare for an early day to run my stand at the farmers market. I heard you and Sen. Danica Roem were very inspirational!

We need teachers in Vermont. She is welcome here. cnn.com/2023/05/16/us/…

Thank you Sam Donnelly . Great shots! It was a beautiful day to honor those made the ultimate sacrifice. David Zuckerman

We have both an altruistic moral obligation and a selfish financial obligation to continue to house these individuals. The short term $ savings will cost us more in the long run as medical costs, mental health services, business impacts and more happen over time. #unconscionable

Brendas words encapsulate the tragedy that is unfolding. There has been more than enough time to have planned for this. Either from within the budget or with new funds we have the capacity to address this. This is both morally wrong and fiscally imprudent. #vtpoli
