Gov Phil Scott is quite vulnerable. Two polls released in past week indicate Scott is in trouble, even though the Vermont Public poll shows a 10 point lead. 1) Scott's support was consistent in both polls. For a historically popular governor, support below 50% should raise flags.

Criminal charges for hacking, please. If I did a security breach in to the Fed, Social Security, or some other sensitive government agency, you can be damn sure I'd be shackled and hauled into court.

Football broadcast pet peeve: team scores a touchdown, broadcast runs replays from many angles, intermixed with a scenes of opposing coach looking stern and opposing QB getting off the bunch. Every flipping time. Who cares about the opposing coach and the QB at that moment?

The assassination of far right activist Charlie Kirk opened the floodgates of neighbor-on-neighbor doxing. A year later, the damage to political discourse in the U.S. remains.

ApacheTrout's Plan for Deficit Reduction 1) Eliminate Trump tax cuts on top 5%. 2) Marginal tax rate 80% above annual income of $5 million 3) Windfall tax on fossil fuel companies 4) Eliminate social security threshold tax cap 5) Treat all stock-option loans as taxable income. That's a start.

@vtdemocrats.org - Great 8/29 Facebook post tying Phil Scott to affordability. Don't sweat the idiots and bots comments. You're not ever going to get their vote. It's about convincing Democrats to drop their support of Scott, so keep pounding the theme with new posts every 3-4 days.

The stupidity of Trump ordering the Lake Ontario name change. Not a single city or town in NY will change ANY of their road signs, park names, beach names, etc. That costs money that Trump would NEVER provide.

Vermont US House of Rep Primary Results: Gerald Malloy (R): 15,347 Becca Balint: 78,603 Total ballots cast: Republican: 22,442 Democratic: 87,478 Malloy has zero chance. And extrapolating to the governor's race, Amanda Janoo has a (somewhat) decent shot at defeating Gov. Phil Scott.
