Christiane Amanpour’s reaction to the Oval Office ambush has me shook. I feel like she’s seen it all. I think she knows this was staged because Trump and Vance don’t want peace unless Putin gets it all.

Rieckhoff: He's losing his women and children. His cities are being bombed, and we're talking about his clothes? It was victim shaming, which is what trump has been doing to Zelenskyy and Ukraine since before he got elected. It's unacceptable.

Federal workers at a Virginia town hall last night—this says it all! “I know their goal is to make us miserable.” — so they don’t show up to work. And Dems, take note: People aren’t here for your ill-timed, tone-deaf donation requests. It’s going to backfire. They want to see you fight for them!

I got lazy using Amazon. No more. Buying directly from businesses, using Costco on-line, local small businesses and my wonderful public library for books. No more Kindle. It feels good and I will continue.

I want to thank the 34,000 Vermonters who joined Sen. Welch, Rep. Balint and me in our delegation town hall by phone & online. An extraordinary turnout for a state of 650,000 people. Needless to say, the people of VT are deeply concerned about what’s going on in DC right now.

Economic Blackouts are powerful forms of nonviolent civil resistance. Take action safely by not spending money tomorrow, Friday, February 28th. Join forces with Americans nationwide to make greedy politicians & wealthy corporations feel the pain they inflict on us. 💪🏻💪🏽💪

UNDERSTAND THE ASSIGNMENT: tomorrow, February 28th, is the Economic Blackout. I ain’t buying shit. Plan ahead, but if you must buy essentials, use cash and support local businesses only. No corporate chains!
