@SenatorPeterWelch As a former state sen. and a dad of 2, I strongly back the #AppStoreAccountabilityAct. Tech's parental tools aren't enough - we need federal rules holding app stores to account, just like retailers for tobacco. Parents deserve real power to protect kids online

Great story! How the Big E and Social Media put this Vermont company on the map. @SenSanders check it out.
Have you noticed unbelievably fluffy marshmallows at The Big E? If not, you might have seen them in viral TikToks.

We are in a housing + homelessness crisis in large part because we have spent decades writing state and local rules that have made new housing far too hard and expensive to build. Here is a thread on what we have done in the last 24-hours to turn this around
The #btvcc unanimously approved a new zoning district that allows housing to be built in part of the South End where it was previously prohibited. Also allowed: Dorms. Not allowed: Hotels. More on the decision & tonight's council meeting here: https://t.co/MAw1AkiKpr

The roads around my house were completely impassable this morning. Grateful for the @VTVast snowmobile trail network, which I was able to hike through to get to an open road and on to our emergency response center.

So let me get this straight: the Packers get A first-round pick swap in 2023 A high second-round pick in 2023 A likely first-round pick in 2024 (at worst a second) A $60 million financial obligation taken off their hands For A player that was never going to play for them again.

This nation was built on peaceful protest. No elected official should lose their job simply for raising their voice – especially when they’re doing it on behalf of our children.

Building more housing in our village centers and downtowns that have the necessary infrastructure is not only the best way to begin addressing the housing crisis, but encouraging more dense & infill housing will avoid the sprawl that concerns many in the conservation community!
S.100 has my full support! Incremental change to legalize diverse housing types for diverse population is playing the long game matched with $90mm in appropiations for urgent housing programs. Vermont is falling behind the country and perpetuating our homeownership-wealth gap.

Thank you! It’s been an amazing eight years. This kid from the wrong side of the tracks in St. Albans got to live his dream to serve his hometown, his home county, and state. For that I’m forever grateful. #vtpoli

Davante Adams didn’t see this coming last year…
Raiders are benching Derek Carr and turning to Jarrett Stidham as their new starting QB. Carr has thrown a league-leading 14 interceptions— including three Saturday night during a 13-10 loss to the Steelers. Stidham has thrown only 61 passes and never has started an NFL game.

Hal Steinbrenner promised Aaron Judge that they could handle his contract and still do more to improve the club. By adding Carlos RodĂłn, the #Yankees delivered.

A former president has called for terminating the US Constitution. There is no middle ground. You support America’s constitutional republic or you support Donald Trump.
