A handful of food industry giants are consolidating power—they’re using it to squeeze out small farms and take advantage of farm workers. That’s why I’m reintroducing legislation to give small farms a level playing field and protect the workers who put food on our tables.

By his own measure, President Trump has failed.

Trump’s speech was full of lies and frankly embarrassing. He lost in 2020 and he’s trying to scare people away from voting in 2026. The bottom line: our elections are secure, safe, and free. If Republicans give a damn about our democracy they need to stand up and push back.

Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: Todd Blanche has been at the helm of the release of nude images of survivors, the outing of Jane Does, and the exposure of more than 100 victims' identifying information and documents describing horrific acts of abuse, including my own.

Dani Bensky, Epstein survivor: The survivors in this room know there are investigative leads because they are our stories. Mr. Blanche knows it, yet he has chosen not to pursue them. His actions have destroyed survivors’ trust.

When Alex Pretti was killed, a DHS spokesperson said he wanted to "massacre law enforcement." It took video evidence for Americans to learn DHS lied. Trump and Republicans gave ICE $38 billion. It's unacceptable that we have more ICE shootings, and still no body camera footage.

Career pardon attorney Liz Oyer declined to recommend letting a convicted domestic abuser and friend of President Trump buy guns again. Todd Blanche fired her for it. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/VqlvuC0sqmA

President Trump sues the federal government for billions of dollars. Then he appoints his former personal attorney to be acting Attorney General, the person in charge of negotiating his settlement with the government. That is corruption. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/52cK3FMcmWM

Todd Blanche works for Donald Trump. He does not work for the American people.

Nothing will change unless we pass real reforms to ICE. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Q_P8hKE0EM4

At the #Vermont Extreme Weather People's Hearing in Barre, we asked @welch.senate.gov why he opposes legislation to make Big Oil immune to climate lawsuits & climate superfund laws, and we couldn't agree more with his answer: "The polluters should pay" #climateaction #makepolluterspay #makebigoilpay

It cost taxpayers $14 million to tint the Lincoln Reflecting Pool. It’ll cost taxpayers $300 million to build his ballroom. It’ll cost $100 million to build his arch. People can’t afford to pay for health care or buy a house, but Trump is making you pay for his vanity projects.

Vermont's farmers have experienced so much crop loss because of flooding. As we remember the July 2023 and 2024 floods, @sanders.senate.gov, @balint.house.gov, and I are reintroducing my bill that'll make it easier for farmers to protect their farmland from flooding. https://bit.ly/4ykvxRx

President Trump said that he was going to lower prices on Day One. But this is one of the few times Congress has worked together to get something done to bring down prices on something as important as housing, and he’s fought it every step of the way.

More people continue to die at the hands of this ICE agency on a rampage. We need independent investigations and real accountability. Instead, Republicans rammed through tens of billions of dollars in more money for immigration enforcement without any reforms.

Like many Vermonters, I’m remembering the brutal floods that devastated our state in July 2023 and 2024. I joined Climate Action Campaign to hear from Vermonters impacted by extreme weather. Our path is clear: we must take urgent climate action and reform our recovery process.

President Trump has changed his mind once again, saying the ceasefire with Iran is "over" and launching more strikes last night. The price of oil has already jumped in response. How many lives will be lost, and much will he cost your family before he ends this illegal war?

More corruption. Lockheed Martin will pay $5 million to build President Trump a new helipad at the White House. They make billions of dollars from government contracts every year.

250 years ago, thirteen colonies rejected British rule and began building a nation based on democratic principles. We must keep protecting freedom, liberty, and our democracy. Happy Independence Day!

It’s been a year since Republicans passed President Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill.” In that time: —Inflation hit a three-year high. —Five million Americans have already lost their health care. —Four million people have lost their food assistance, including more than 800,000 children.

I’ve spoken with airline leaders, and they’ve made it clear that even if the Strait of Hormuz reopens, it’s going to take months to get back to pre-war levels. Because of President Trump, it’s going to be more expensive to fly for a long time.

Consolidation and rising production costs are crushing small dairy farmers in Vermont and across the nation. That's why I just introduced a new bill to help them keep more of the profit made from their hard work. https://bit.ly/4fdaPeQ

Big money in politics is a threat to our democracy. The more the Supreme Court strikes down limits to big money, the more the rich and powerful will be able to buy influence over our elections.

This is a win for democracy. Both Red and Blue states around the country have been allowing states to count ballots mailed by Election Day for decades. Despite President Trump’s best efforts, your voice deserves to be heard.

President Trump’s Freedom 250 is a self-serving grift.

It's terrible to see the news of the devastating earthquakes in Venezuela. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone trying to recover from this disaster. The U.S. should send whatever aid it can to help save lives.

250 years ago, our Founders declared independence from the British in a brave rebuke of a corrupt king who sold access to those with money and status. I can't help but notice how closely President Trump's actions mirror the concerns that shaped our founding. www.youtube.com/shorts/xDWzm...

Four years ago, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and the fundamental right to abortion it protected for millions of Americans.    I refuse to accept this as normal. I’m going to keep fighting alongside Democrats to give women control over their own bodies.

President Trump was supposed to sign the most comprehensive bipartisan housing bill in 30 years. Just hours before the ceremony, he cancelled it. www.youtube.com/shorts/DQSSH...

People can't afford their basic needs. One in seven Americans use buy now, pay later services to get groceries. Job growth is sluggish. The war with Iran wiped out real wage growth. Working families are suffering and President Trump is making things worse.

Because of President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” five million Americans have already lost their health care. Americans don’t want to pay for a new White House ballroom. They want affordable health care, groceries, and housing.

President Donald Trump is leading us into another reckless war, this time with Cuba. Cuba is about the size of Virginia, and poses no threat to the U.S. Trump should negotiate a deal, not launch another "takeover" financed by taxpayers.

I just joined my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the most comprehensive housing reform in 30 years. The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act will build more housing and stop private equity from buying up homes. We can build a future where everyone can afford housing.

Remember when President Trump said his ballroom wasn’t going to cost taxpayers ten cents? www.youtube.com/shorts/6Crbm...

On Juneteenth, we celebrate those who refused back down in the fight for freedom in one of our nation's darkest chapters, and remind ourselves to keep building on the opportunities promised by the founding of this country.

Last month, Congressman Dave Min and I opened an investigation to determine if President Trump has been dishing out pay-for-play pardons. Now, we’re directly requesting information from Trump Administration officials to help uncover the truth.

Mohsen Mahdawi is in America legally. And yet he was arrested by the Trump Administration for peacefully advocating for Palestinians, something millions of Americans—including myself—have done. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DV7sWZhVPPE

Mohsen Mahdawi was asked on his final citizenship interview whether he would be willing to protect and defend the Constitution. Within seconds of saying yes, ICE agents stormed in, arrested him, handcuffed his wrists and chained his feet, and threw him in a cell.

Because of President Trump’s war, farmers are spending at least $350 more per day on fuel for a full run of just one tractor.

Trump corruption of the day: his UFC cage fight at the White House. www.youtube.com/shorts/ko9sI...

This problem is only going to get worse as AI becomes more powerful and more widely used. Congress needs to address AI and how it can be used to sway our elections. We should start with passing the NO FAKES Act.

Congress should be working to support programs like this one. Young people need more opportunities. That should include pathways to trades like plumbers and electricians. t.co/kCblLuTS9q

President Trump loves that you can’t afford your groceries, to fill up your car with gas, or to buy a house.

As President Trump signs the Republicans’ bill to give $70 billion to ICE and CBP without any commonsense reforms, I’m thinking of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. They should still be here, and they deserve accountability.

Let me be abundantly clear: not only will I vote against Todd Blanche to be permanent Attorney General, he should resign from his acting role immediately.

This is what happens when you kill renewable energy projects and start a reckless war with Iran that drives up prices.

50 people have now died in ICE detention during Trump’s second term. Experts have said many of these deaths are preventable and due to poor conditions. Rather than work with Democrats to make real reforms, Senate Republicans pushed through another $70 billion to ICE.

Because of the energy crisis created by President Trump’s war with Iran, airlines have raised prices and cut services. I’m demanding answers with Senator Duckworth and Senator Blumenthal on how travelers are going to be impacted as the war continues.

Since Republicans passed President Trump’s tax bill, 216 hospitals and clinics across America have cut services or closed. Many of these were in rural areas and the only nearby options for residents. We can’t leave rural America behind. Republicans must reverse these cuts.
