If Trump can undermine due process for immigrants here legally, he can do the same to you. What happens when he disagrees with you? What happens if he doesn’t like what you say? He’ll come after you just like he has to so many others. We must stand up for our collective rights.

In these difficult times building community, and support for each other, is extremely important. That’s why I’m holding community dances around Vermont. We just had a great event in Hardwick. People of all ages danced the night away.

Trump fired over 1,000 National Park staff in February, and most still haven’t been reinstated. The $45 million he’s wasting on a military parade for his birthday could have paid their salaries for over a year.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%. We must defeat it.

I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

At a time when we already spend more on the military than the next nine nations combined… At a time when everyone knows there is massive waste and fraud in the Pentagon… Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill increases defense spending by $150 billion. Outrageous.
