Farmer, former Vermont State Rep, Senator, & Lt. Governor. Always fighting for progressive change and now, more than ever, democracy.
The Patriotic Millionaires have a bold demand: A working-class tax cut, paid for by millionaires. It’s the core of their "Flood the Red Zone: Save America" campaign to combat extreme inequality. They believe taxing the wealthy fairly is the key to economic stability. #TaxTheRich
Closing schools doesn’t solve problems. Fair taxation does. Governor Scott’s so-called “reform” is a direct attack on Vermont’s public education.
Furious. That’s how I feel. Millions of Americans—and thousands of Vermonters—are about to see their health insurance costs spike. It’s absurd. The voters spoke clearly last Tuesday. The President and the pundits heard it.🧵
Last night I spoke at the District Redistricting Task Force meeting in Rutland. Over 200 people attended — one of the largest public meetings in years. The message was clear: Vermonters are skeptical of Act 73
Happy Pride Month to the LGBTQIA+ community in Vermont and across the country. While the federal administration continues attacks on folks trying to be themselves, it’s important for us to be strong allys and celebrate everyone everywhere.
As I listened to the news this morning I, like many, was struck by the news of the passing of the Pope. While I am not religious, I am still moved by the transition that this represents and the scale of the impact that he has had and will have on our world. 🧵
Thursday night I will again be sleeping out to raise money for Spectrum Youth and Family Services. If you are willing, please sponsor me in this annual event.

Earlier today, I stood with 150+ veterans and families against VA staffing cuts by the Trump Administration. The crowd was united not just against these cuts but broader policies, with events held nationwide. Organized quickly via social media, I expected 15-20 people but was amazed by the turnout.
If you care about public education for both improving the future for all of our kids, and the role our schools play at the heart of our communities, please take a look at the recent blog post by John Walters at the Vermont Political Observer. Then…get involved.
On this day commemorating “Bloody Sunday” (March 7th) 60 years ago on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, I want to acknowledge the long fight for freedom in our country.
Tomorrow on #WDEV 550AM, 96.1 FM, and streaming online at wdevradio.com , I will be hosting Vermont Viewpoint. From 9-10 AM I will have Reps @laurasibilia.bsky.social (I-Dover) and Logan (P/D-Burlington) to talk about the nonpartisan primary bill they introduced. in!

Thank you @davidzuckermanvt.bsky.social for standing in solidarity with us during Vance’s vaca in our valley. #HateHasNoHomeHere
This past Sunday, I had the pleasure of heading down to Weston to speak about post-election work with the Weston Democrat “Flock” group. During a time where so many folks are confused, scared and seeking support, we all need to make sure we take care of ourselves.

This. Make it hard for the Republicans to destroy the country.
David Corn@davidcorn.bsky.social · 2y agoDemocratic senators will hold the Senate floor all night long in opposition to the nomination of Russ Vought, an organizer of Project 2025, to head the OMB.
The last two weeks have been worse than what I had imagined. Project 2025 is in full implementation with President Trump attacking every aspect of our Government with unconstitutional actions. This includes granting Elon Musk wide-ranging powers over Government programs that Congress established.
