I’m very pleased that two Vermont projects I secured funding for have received the money to move forward. Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital received $1.4 million to construct new pharmacies in Caledonia County. Since the closure of pharmacies in Johnson and Hardwick, folks (cont in image...)

I’m glad AI companies are recognizing the threat their technology poses and admitting they need more safeguards, but we need more than a promise to do better. I have a proposal with @SenatorBennet that would create a new agency to regulate Big Tech and AI, focused on (cont in reply...)

Israeli security forces have attacked, arrested, and even killed American civilians, including children, without being held accountable. I’m urging my Senate colleagues to hold Israel to the same standard we have for every other country and demand justice. t.co/6gcmJdcIEP

Massive corporations are going to be just fine absorbing President Trump’s tariffs. Some of them can even pick up the phone and call the White House to get exemptions. But what about the family-owned businesses on Main Street? Where the owners come in early and stay late and (cont in image...)

The Trump Administration’s latest refugee policy says nothing about our Afghan allies, who are stranded overseas waiting to reunite with their families in the U.S. They risked their lives to help American soldiers. We can’t turn our back on them.

10 years ago, David Levin went to jail for launching a cyberattack on Florida’s election database. It appears that the Trump Administration just hired him to monitor elections. I want to know why.

President Trump’s war with Iran is squeezing Americans trying to make ends meet.

A Vermont cheesemaker lost nearly $1 million in Canadian sales last year because of President Trump’s tariffs. This is happening all over the country, it’s choking our small businesses.

Artificial intelligence is at a tipping point. Experts are telling us the dire consequences of inaction. That’s why I’ve reintroduced legislation with @SenatorBennet to establish an independent agency to protect Americans from the harms of AI.

Right now, forever chemicals like PFAS are regularly found in plastic bottles and are seeping into our waterways. That’s why I’m introducing a bill to ban these products and fine corporations who poison our communities.

Outdated tax codes are scaring off developers from building affordable housing. I’m introducing a bill to lower fees so we can build more housing and lower the cost of mortgages and rent.

The U.S. has now spent more than $38 billion on the Iran War. That money could be spent lowering the cost of health care, of groceries, of energy bills. But instead, it’s being spent on a war of choice.

Newport Mayor Rick Ufford-Chase: We see [these tariffs] as kind of an unforced error. We’ve been struggling with all kinds of challenges that everybody around the country is struggling with, particularly in rural areas. But this one is entirely, thoroughly unnecessary.

Before President Trump, the U.S. helped clear millions of U.S. cluster munitions in Laos that have maimed and killed innocent people for decades. But the funding is being cut because the White House’s extremist ideology is replacing sound policy at the expense of people’s lives and livelihoods.

I voted against the Farm Bill that Republicans forced out of the Agriculture Committee. It doesn’t give farmers the help they desperately need, it doesn’t provide food assistance to millions going hungry, and it doesn’t help rural communities constantly getting left behind.

Just a few days ago, a clearly marked Doctors Without Borders bus was struck by an Israeli military airstrike. Now, President Trump has approved sending 40,000 one-ton bombs to Prime Minister Netanyahu. The U.S. can't continue to supply weapons being used to commit war crimes.

This is such a waste of time. President Trump said he was going to lower costs. Gas is at $4.36/gallon and Americans are paying hundreds of dollars more for housing than when he came back into office. And he’s spending his time fighting to get his name on the side of a Quoting The New York Times
