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

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.🧵

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. 🧵

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.

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.

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.
