I'm horrified by the shootings of Minnesota state lawmakers last night. Political disagreement should never rise to violence. My thoughts are with their loved ones and Minnesotans today.

On the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, we honor America's soldiers of all backgrounds who defend our Constitution and our country. To the millions of soldiers past and present who have answered the call to serve, thank you.

Republicans slipped a measure into President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill that's an existential danger to our democracy. And you probably haven’t even heard about it.

More than 8.2 million people in states represented by Senate Republicans will lose their health care if President Trump's tax bill becomes law. A vote for this bill is a vote to kick thousands of your constituents off the health care they need.

President Trump's so-called "Big Beautiful" Bill will: ❌ Kick 16 million people off their health care ❌ Take away food assistance from millions of children ❌ Add trillions to the national deficit and tank the economy All so he can give tax cuts to billionaires like

Tens of thousands of Vermonters participated in protests this weekend, including more than 16,000 in Burlington. It shows Vermont continues to stand up for democracy and against dictatorship. America has no king.

This is corruption. A sitting president and his family are profiting off his name while he's in office. For the Trump family, the grift never ends.

Last week, the House passed my bipartisan bill requiring Amtrak to install a baby changing station on every train. I’m calling on my Senate colleagues to help pass this commonsense legislation, which makes it easier for families to travel.

The Republican "Big Beautiful Bill" is not for working families. It's not for folks who work hard every day and try to make ends meet. It'll be the biggest cut to Medicaid in history and take away food aid from millions of people to give a massive tax cut to billionaires.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed and hundreds were injured this morning trying to reach the food and water they desperately need. These avoidable tragedies will continue to happen until a ceasefire is reached to release the hostages and surge aid into Gaza.

The GENIUS Act prohibits members of Congress and their families from profiting off stablecoins, but Republicans wrote a carveout into the legislation to make sure at least one person can profit. President Trump. I just voted against it.

Just my opinion, but kicking 16 million people off their health care to give billionaires massive tax cuts isn’t “protecting health care.”

Last night, Republicans on the Finance Committee released their section of the Big Beautiful Bill text. There was some hope that cooler heads would prevail and they would pull back on the severe cuts in the House version. Nope. Republicans in the Senate are trying to kick even

Vermont is the top maple producer in the U.S. for the third year in a row! We have the best maple syrup, with over 3 million gallons in 2025 to prove it. President Trump must abandon his on-again, off-again tariff policies, which are jeopardizing our sugarmakers' future.

We can’t allow Prime Minister Netanyahu to sabotage U.S. peace negotiations and drag our country into yet another forever war in the Middle East.

Health care decisions should be between patients and their doctors. Restricting access to essential care is not the answer. This puts the health of our LGBTQ+ young people at risk.

Juneteenth is a day we celebrate the progress our country has made in the fight for equality and recommit to breaking down barriers for marginalized communities. Now more than ever, we must band together and fight injustice.
