Thousands of Israelis have taken to the streets to voice their frustrations with the trajectory and devastation of the war. Israelis want to see the hostages back, an end to violence, and a new leader.

Congratulations to Cora Chivington for receiving the Grand Prize for her piece “Light of Hunger” in this year's Congressional Art Competition! I look forward to seeing a piece of Vermont every day in the US Capitol.

This week, Republicans are putting bills like the "Liberty in Laundry Act" and the "Refrigerator Freedom Act" on the floor. Yes, seriously. Republicans would rather protect your appliances than protect women’s bodies.

Netanyahu’s dangerous escalation into Rafah puts over a million people seeking refuge at even greater risk. This doesn't serve to make Israelis safer and derails a path toward a ceasefire and lasting peace for the region. The US must stand against escalations of any kind.

The choice to grow a family is deeply personal. It should have everything to do with what's best for your family — and nothing to do with what a politician or judge thinks is best. It’s time we codify the fundamental right to choose into law.

In rural communities like Vermont, healthcare facilities can be few and far between. This puts even more pressure and dependence on the options we do have. We need to make sure rural hospitals have the support they need to keep families healthy, regardless of where they live.

Half of America's rural hospitals, which millions of people rely on for emergency and other forms of care, are operating in the financial red.

One of the most important ways my office serves constituents is resolving issues with federal agencies, including returning dollars back to the pockets of Vermonters. So far this year, we've assisted 500+ Vermonters navigating federal programs and helped recover over $150,000.

One good teacher can transform a classroom forever. Many good teachers can transform a generation into leaders that can meet the moment of our nation's greatest challenges. During Teacher Appreciation Week, we celebrate, support, and give gratitude to our educators.

I loved my career as a middle school teacher. It brought me so much joy to feel the impact I had by preparing the next generation. President Biden is strengthening the teaching profession by fighting for higher pay, retention, recruitment, and more.

Today, I’m holding the memory of my grandfather and the millions of innocent people killed in the Holocaust. Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is a reminder of the tragedy that can come from letting antisemitism, extremism, bigotry, and hate take root.

Benn High, once a high school and middle school in Bennington, has been vacant for 20 years. That's about to change. I fought for $1 million in federal funding to bring this historic building back to life and provide space for housing, child care, offices, recreation, and more.

No one should ever be turned away from receiving health care because of who they love. We still have more work to do, but this is a step toward achieving true equity for LGBTQ+ Americans.

The Biden administration is bolstering health care protections against discrimination for gay and transgender people, reversing a Trump administration rule that gutted the protections.

We’re urging @POTUS to ensure Israel doesn’t launch a full-scale invasion of Rafah, where the vast majority of Gazans are now living. We cannot be complicit in this unimaginable suffering.

I & @RepDean led 55 members in calling on the admin to prevent an assault on Rafah by any means necessary, including withholding offensive aid to Israel that can be used in an invasion. We must prioritize the safety of innocent Palestinian civilians.

Today, a near-total abortion ban went into effect in Florida. It restricts reproductive care for millions of women, before many even know they are pregnant. This is cruel. We can’t stop until Roe is codified into law.
