The Trump Administration is trying to unlawfully reallocate federal homeland security funding based on a state’s willingness to comply with the Administration’s political agenda. But under the Constitution, it is Congress – not the President – who has the power of the purse.

Vermonters need and deserve access to reproductive and preventative health care. In a rural state like ours - where medical providers are few and far between - the loss of Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood will leave Vermonters without access to basic care.

Windham County, please join me this Sunday at 2:00 PM for a Town Hall discussion at Brattleboro Union High School. Along with Senator Nader Hashim and Rep. Emilie Kornheiser, I’ll share updates and answer questions about my work defending democracy and Vermont values. Hope to see you there!

This school year, I want transgender students and their families to know that we love you, we support you, and we’ll fight for you every single day.

The President’s use of the National Guard to police DC streets threatens the rule of law — and DC’s Attorney General is fighting to stop it. We stand with DC and @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social because today it’s the 202, but tomorrow it could be the 802.

My office has first-hand experience supporting victims of crime in accessing federally-funded programs, which are designed to give victims and survivors of crime greater agency over their own recovery and healing. I am suing to protect this funding for the Vermonters who need it.

Vermont was proud to join this coalition in standing up for our environment.

I remain fully committed to protecting Vermonters’ access to reproductive and preventative health care. In a rural state like ours, where medical providers are few and far between, the loss of Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood will leave Vermonters without access to basic care.

Social safety net programs are meant to benefit those who need them most and improve the overall health and well-being of entire communities. The Trump administration’s illegal attempts to restrict access to these programs will undoubtedly harm many of our neighbors.

We should be doing everything we can to make health care more accessible – not harder and more expensive for millions of Americans. I will fight the President’s attempts to unlawfully roll back coverage for Vermonters, including efforts to take away coverage for gender-affirming care.

For the past three summers, severe floods have devastated Vermont communities by destroying homes, damaging businesses, and washing out rural roads and bridges. We can expect these disasters to continue – and we must prepare by building more resilient infrastructure to protect our communities.

Once again, the President wishes to unconstitutionally undo appropriations made by Congress. I am going to keep fighting for our Constitution, for Vermont schools, and for the future of our country. Read more here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2025/07...

Vermonters know that environmental justice will make us safer, more resilient, and better equipped to prepare for and respond to climate impacts. We have experienced three back to back summers of flooding, and this will likely continue in the coming decades.

Meta’s business model is built around addicting teens and children to their platforms using algorithms and deceptive practices that exploit the vulnerabilities of these youth. I brought a lawsuit against Meta to stop these harms, and now I’m supporting other states in their lawsuits against Meta.

In this country, we have a right to privacy when we go to the doctor. The Trump administration’s disregard for this right is not only illegal, it is a violation of the public’s trust.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, which overturned decades of precedent affirming our right to abortion care. That same year, here in Vermont the majority of voters in all 251 towns voted to enshrine our right to abortion in our constitution.

If President Trump wanted the power of the purse, he should have run for Congress. The President must faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress – including dispersing federal funding for states.

In Vermont, public media is a critical source of news and means of connecting community. It’s also an important source of safe, educational programming for kids. As a mom and as a consumer of Vermont’s public media, I’m proud to stand up for this vital part of our media landscape.

Happy Juneteenth, Vermont! Even though Vermont was the first colony to outlaw slavery in 1777, we still commemorate the day when the news of the Emancipation Proclamation finally reached enslaved people in Texas. Communities across the country celebrated today as Freedom Day for over 150 years.

I am very disappointed by the Court’s decision, which will undoubtedly strip lifesaving care from transgender youth in many states. I agree with Justice Sotomayor that today the Court abandoned trans youth and their families. Today marks a dark moment for equal protections in this county.

Purdue and the Sackler family created and perpetuated the opioid crisis, which stole the lives of our loved ones, neighbors, and community members. Today I am announcing a nationwide settlement, which can never undo the suffering that has touched nearly every Vermont family…

Job Corps is a crucial vocational program that keeps young people in our state while offering them the tools they need to thrive. The Trump administration cannot violate federal law and the Constitution by terminating congressionally mandated programs it opposes. Today I’m filing an amicus brief…

Great news! Today a federal court BLOCKED President Trump’s unconstitutional executive order which would have disenfranchised American voters. Our right to vote is sacred and fundamental to democracy. In Vermont, our tradition of exercising our democratic right to vote is strong.

I know many in our communities are feeling anxious or scared right now in light of the Trump administration's cruel immigration crackdown. My office has created a "Know Your Rights" guide to give folks who may come in contact with immigration enforcement officers the tools they need...

Vermonters believe in protecting our environment and understand the importance of transitioning to cleaner cars and trucks - and we also believe in the Constitution. That’s why I’m filing a lawsuit to defend our state’s approach to curbing auto emissions for human health and the environment.

We should all be shocked by President Trump’s decision to federalize and deploy California’s National Guard without the consent of California’s governor. The President’s actions are illegal and unamerican. Yesterday I filed an amicus brief to clearly state that Vermont proudly stands with California

The president’s decision to federalize and deploy California’s National Guard without the consent of state leaders is unlawful, unconstitutional, and undemocratic. The Trump administration should be working with local leaders to keep people safe, not mobilizing the military against Americans.

Cutting research funding to our country’s world-renowned academic research institutions hurts both public health and national security. That’s why I joined an amicus brief supporting Harvard in its lawsuit against the federal government for the unlawful cancellation of funding to the university.

The Trump administration’s decision to distribute illegal machine gun conversion devices in our communities will make us less safe. Today I filed my 18th lawsuit against the Trump administration to prevent the implementation of a potentially disastrous directive.

Great news! Today the Court ruled in our favor, affirming that the Trump administration lacks the authority to unilaterally cut AmeriCorps programs. This is a win for the rule of law as well as for Vermont communities, which have been well served by AmeriCorps volunteers for decades.

@charityclark.bsky.social joins us!  @vtattorneygeneral.bsky.social stops by to discuss her lawsuits against the Trump administration, her favorite hikes, how parenting influences her role, and her top creemee choices. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Great news! Today we won a preliminary injunction in our lawsuit against the Trump administration for dismantling the Department of Education. A federal court agreed that the attacks on DOE are unlawful and unconstitutional, and ordered the Trump administration to stop dismantling the Department.

AI is a new frontier for consumer protection. With this emerging technology, we need to ensure that elections are protected, consumers are safe from scams, & that our data privacy is preserved. I’m proud to lead this effort, joined by 39 AGs, so that states are not prohibited from enforcing AI laws.

Today at the U.S. Supreme Court, we stood with 18 other state AGs to defend birthright citizenship. The Trump administration argued that the President should be able to deprive people who are born in this country of their right to citizenship. This is unconstitutional and frankly unamerican.

The Trump administration is violating the Constitution, threatening to deny Vermont access to millions in Congressionally approved funding for public safety and infrastructure to try to force Vermont to betray its own values and turn its back on its immigrant communities.

There is no energy emergency in this country. American energy production is at an all-time high, and Trump’s executive order is an attempt to illegally circumvent environmental protections that keep us healthy and protect our rivers, wildlife, and other natural resources.

The Constitution gives Congress the job of spending the taxpayer’s dollar, but the Trump Administration is once again ignoring that — this time with our country’s electric vehicle infrastructure. Read more about my latest lawsuit here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2025/05...

Today I filed my 13th lawsuit to stop the dismantling of HHS. Secretary Kennedy and President Trump are acting outside the boundaries of statute and violating the Constitution in their illegal attack on our public health infrastructure. Vermonters are furious, and they have every right to be.

President Trump’s withholding of Title X funding will lead to more unintended pregnancies and STIs, increased rates of undiagnosed HIV, increased rates of cervical cancer, and a higher burden on our already overstretched state budget. I’ve asked President Trump to restore this life-saving funding.

Today I joined 25 states suing the Trump administration for illegally dismantling AmeriCorps and terminating grants that support community projects. In Vermont, this includes rebuilding our housing stock and preserving our environment. This is my 12th lawsuit against the Trump administration.

Today I joined 18 other attorneys general in suing over unlawful conditions on funding to our schools. Vermont will continue to follow education laws. This is the 11th lawsuit I have had to bring against the Trump Administration, and I will continue to protect Vermonters from federal overreach.

Yesterday I sued the Trump administration for the 10th time, to protect working Vermonters, small businesses, and our economy from President Trump’s illegal tariffs. Read more here: ago.vermont.gov/blog/2025/04...

Hardworking VTers spent their lives paying into a system that’s now jeopardized by a reckless trampling through the Social Security Administration. That’s why I joined 20 other AGs in asking the courts to block the erratic and unlawful layoffs and mismanagement of the SSA by DOGE and Leland Dudek.

Today I co-led a bipartisan coalition of 39 AGs calling on Congress to prevent Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) from owning and operating pharmacies. PBMs are driving up the cost of prescription drugs, squeezing out independent pharmacies, stifling competition, and narrowing consumer choice.

President Trump’s ideological deportation policy targets and punishes noncitizens with lawful status, especially college students and faculty, who express political beliefs unpopular with the administration. That’s why I’ve joined an amicus brief in support of a lawsuit challenging this policy.

Libraries are the heart of our towns and rural communities here in Vermont — and Trump’s executive order unconstitutionally guts over $1M in library funding from Vermont. That’s why I sued today, to stand up for our libraries, because children, the elderly, job-seekers, and all of us rely on them.

Trump’s executive order on elections is an attempt to disenfranchise voters, particularly married women, low-income and elderly voters, and active-duty military members. Non-citizen voter fraud is virtually non-existent.

Today is Transgender Day of Visibility, and an excellent day to remind ourselves that trans people have always existed and always will. As Attorney General, I will always work alongside the LGBTQIA+ community to ensure Vermont remains and safe, supportive, and affirming place for all. 🏳️‍⚧️

The SAVE Act is a brazen attempt to strip citizens, particularly married women, low-income and minority voters, and active-duty military members, of their ability to vote. It would be the largest attack on voter eligibility since the Jim Crow laws. I’m calling on the Senate to vote no this week.

Proud to have joined the bipartisan Executive Board of the National Association of Attorneys General, and looking forward to strengthening the association and facilitating greater collaboration between AGs across the country.
