It’s a gloomy day here in Vermont but I’m reflecting on some signs of hope from this past week in DC. They’re small, too late, and not enough, but they represent things we can build off of in the days, weeks, and months ahead.

BIG NEWS: the House just voted to end the war in Iran!
185 14
Today I’ll be introducing a war powers resolution to give Congress another chance to end this reckless war of choice in Iran.
Addressing our mental health crisis - especially when it comes to our youth and veterans - is among the most important work I’m doing in Congress. It’s critical that we end the stigma and remind folks that the body doesn’t stop at the neck. Happy Mental Health Awareness Month!
Due process protects all of us, not just the accused. This administration has tried to play judge, jury, and sometimes executioner – killing Americans like Renee Good and Alex Pretti and bombing boats in the Caribbean without verification. They can’t be trusted.
You don’t have to be a gay woman to embrace and embody the spirit of Lesbian Visibility Day. Wherever and whoever you are, take a step toward doing that thing you’ve always wanted to do today.
As of today, the Trump admin is FIVE MONTHS past its legally binding deadline to release the full Epstein files. I’ll never stop fighting until these files are released, everyone involved is held accountable, and we get justice for the survivors – no matter how long it takes.
Another day, another example of Pete Hegseth restricting press access at the Pentagon. The free press must be able to ask questions and demand receipts about what our nation’s military is doing in our name. The American people deserve that transparency.
With the money Trump wants for his war of choice in Iran, we could fund the ACA tax credits FOR TEN YEARS. Vermonters and folks across the nation are suffering from this admin’s backwards priorities.
Today, @usprogressives.bsky.social unveiled our New Affordability Agenda – concrete and courageous policies that directly tackle the cost of living crisis. We can’t stop at anything to get this done – no matter what Big Pharma, Big Tech, and Big Oil say.
To all the Vermonters who’ve told me how expensive your life has gotten - I hear you. Now that I’m back in DC, I’m ready to get back to work lowering costs. We just need willing partners in the Republican majority.
This corrupt slush fund Trump created to give payouts to his allies, including the violent attackers who beat police officers on January 6th, isn’t a settlement. It’s theft.

High achievers don't narrate their journey mid-way; they're immersed in their craft. 'Dragon Energy' comes from internal momentum, not external validation. Focus on your actions rather than talk. Silence signals true progress; let your results shout for you.

🇧🇾🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: For the first time in this format, there are representatives of Belarus. Recently, Lukashenko said that it was time for the Presidents of Ukraine and Belarus to meet. It turned out quite interestingly: Lukashenko said it, but it was Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya who came.
President Trump says America can’t afford Medicare, Medicaid, or childcare because “we’re fighting wars.” Now he’s asking for a $1.5 trillion+ blank check for the least transparent Pentagon in American history. Seriously? That’s not fiscal responsibility — that’s an epic failure of accountability.

In 2021, Congress introduced a bill that would have exempted “health misinformation” from Section 230 protection — defined by the HHS Secretary. But would those who supported that law at the time still be okay with handing that power to an unelected bureaucrat today?

University of Utah researchers confirmed nine earthquakes beneath northern Utah and southwestern Wyoming that began far below the crust, in mantle rock long thought too hot to break. A 1979 quake started about 90 kilometers down; the newest, in September 2025, was about 68 kilometers deep.
