I'm outraged that the Trump Administration denied Vermont's request for a federal disaster declaration that would unlock funds to help towns recover from flooding this summer, despite meeting the damage threshold to qualify. A lot of the damage was to small communities. Some of

Some of the many things President Trump and Republicans are spending money on while refusing to negotiate on saving health care for millions of Americans.

I’m relieved that a ceasefire agreement has been reached in Gaza. But we can’t just go back to the way things were before October 7. America must help cement a path to lasting peace in the Middle East.

Will we see the military deployed to cities where the president does not like the outcome of the vote in the next election?

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House. It’s their responsibility to negotiate in good faith with Democrats if they want our votes.

I introduced a bill to reverse Republicans’ policy in the “Big Beautiful Bill” that blocks Medicare from negotiating lower prices of blockbuster drugs. Trump and Republicans raised the cost of life-saving drugs while giving an $8.8 billion bailout to Big Pharma

I’m joining @SenJeffMerkley as he holds the floor to speak out against President Trump's lawless and cruel agenda. Democrats are fighting for those the Trump Administration has forgotten about: You.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them? TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

I’ve urged the Trump Administration to help Vermont farmers impacted by the record-breaking drought. Last Week, I visited Lazy Dog Farm in Orwell to learn more from Vermont farmers about the support they need to recover.

President Trump claims his new tariff on lumber will boost American businesses. But Vermont companies like Ethan Allen are telling us this will add yet another cost when they're already trying to keep up with rising labor and health care costs.

President Trump's bombings of boats off the coast of Venezuela are illegal. If they're criminals, they should get a day in court. And if the President wants to declare war on terrorists, the Constitution is clear: he needs to ask Congress to authorize it.

We could extend health care tax credits for a whole year with less money than President Trump is giving to Argentina.
