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."

Unfortunately, it turns out we were right. The Trump admin, led by people like Stephen Miller, WAS considering invoking the Insurrection Act against American citizens. This shows that we all need to stay loud and keep calling this stuff out. They’re doing exactly what we think they’re doing.

Today, alongside community partners, I announced the reintroduction of the Community Housing Act. This is one of the most significant pieces of legislation I lead in Congress. This bill is full of concrete actions we can take to address the housing crisis. And we have no time to waste.

The Community Housing Act Will Address the Housing Crisis for All By: Increasing the supply of affordable housing | Keeping affordable housing affordable | Encouraging the revamping of zoning codes to eliminate barriers to housing construction | Strengthening and preserving pathways to homeownership | Ensuring resources reach rural areas

The comment was disgusting, racist, and obviously not true, but this is a great opportunity to remind folks that First Lady Melania Trump was in the Epstein files, which is disgusting and unfortunately very true.

When I was first elected to Congress, I had no idea just how often I’d need to stand up for our LGBTQ rights.   I am honored to do this work, and I won’t stop until every person in this country can be their whole and true self.

Trump installed a lackey to lead the Department of Justice, and now he wants to make him permanent. The absurd idea of making Todd Blanche the permanent attorney general conflicts with the entire concept of an independent DOJ.

The problem with tonight’s UFC fight is the grift. For Trump’s birthday vanity project, he’s using OUR White House as a billboard for corporations. If only he’d spend this much effort on lowering people’s everyday costs.

Government used to be the driving engine for innovation. With their cuts to research and science, the Trump administration is putting our progress at risk and driving some of our brightest minds overseas.

This week, Republicans decided we don’t have the time or money to lower the cost of food, gas, housing, and health care, but we have plenty of both to give $70B to ICE and Border Patrol. This is all so screwed up.

Have you noticed that plane travel is even worse now than it was a few years ago? It’s because the Trump admin keeps bowing down to the airlines and rolling back rules that were in place to protect us.

This is the merger that would put TikTok, CNN, and CBS under the control of one mega business and force prices up, wages down, and people to lose their jobs. But Paramount’s CEO David Ellison has been wining and dining Trump and his cronies so of course the DOJ approves it.

Today, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. 
It's a ridiculous amount of money for one person to be sitting on and comes as countless Americans are struggling to afford food, housing, and health care.   We need to tax wealth – immediately.

This is yet another step in the Trump admin's campaign to silence dissent in our country. Mohsen Mahdawi is a lawful permanent resident whose constitutional rights must be protected. 
This is why I stood with @RepDeborahRoss to introduce the Land of the Free Act - the Constitution guarantees all people within our borders the right to due process and freedom of speech. 
I will continue to stand with Mohsen throughout this absurd legal saga. vtdigger.org/2026/06/11/verm…

The Columbia University student, who has a green card and lives in the Upper Valley, is protected from being deported while he appeals his 2025 arrest, his lawyers said.

We've got fewer choices, we've got higher costs.   We’ve got services that used to be free, and now they all come with a fee.

It’s time for Congress to get serious about antitrust enforcement and come in clutch for sports fans in Vermont and across the country.

I want to talk about the bombshell reporting in the New York Times about the Trump admin’s coverup of the Epstein files. They met in the situation room - not to address a national security issue but to do all they could to ensure Trump and his friends don’t face the accountability they deserve.

Americans have been clear. They want states to be running their elections, and they want guardrails on ICE. Yet again, we have the president and his Republican allies in Congress not listening to the American people.

This problem is only going to get worse as AI becomes more powerful and more widely used. Congress needs to address AI and how it can be used to sway our elections. We should start with passing the NO FAKES Act.

A political opponent recently posted a deepfake video of me on social media. It was generated using AI and fabricated my voice and image to put words in my mouth. While it represents a new - and dangerous - low, it was not unpredictable. It just drives home why we need to act now to give people protections against unauthorized AI replicas of their name and likeness. Let’s start by passing my NO FAKES Act.

Today, I led the @HouseDemocrats in wearing orange to honor Hadiya Pendleton and every life stolen by gun violence. Orange was Hadiya's favorite color, and now, it's a bright beacon for gun violence awareness. We owe survivors more than thoughts & prayers. We owe them action.

It’s abundantly clear by this point that Trump lives in a golden bubble. 
He only watches his favorite cable news shows, his team tells him what he wants to hear, he has more money than he knows what to do with, and he certainly isn’t speaking with everyday Americans.   There's no other explanation for this.

Pursuing a more progressive tax system is a start, but it’s not the end when it comes to ensuring the ultra-wealthy pay their fair share. We need to be taxing wealth.
