I'm outraged that the Trump Administration denied Vermont's request for a federal disaster declaration that would unlock funds to help towns recover from flooding this summer, despite meeting the damage threshold to qualify.

The mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis is heartbreaking. My thoughts are with the victims, the students, and their families. I'm thankful for the first responders who responded to the scene.

More journalists have been killed in Gaza than died during WWl, WWll, the Korean War, the Vietnam War (including Cambodia and Laos conflicts), the Yugoslav Wars, and the Afghanistan War combined.

Federalizing Washington, D.C.’s police and deploying the National Guard to our nation’s capital is a power grab and an attempt by President Trump to deflect from the catastrophic damage he’s doing to our economy and hardworking families.

My heart goes out to the family and loved ones of the police officer killed at the CDC on Friday.

This is yet another reckless decision by Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Israel occupying Gaza won't help bring the remaining hostages home safely.
It won’t make Israel safer.
It will only continue to betray Israeli citizens and bring more suffering and death to innocent Gazans.

Two weeks after President Trump clawed back $1.1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the organization announced it's shutting down.
More than 1,000 local TV and radio stations across the country could close, especially in rural areas.

El Salvadorian President Bukele's plan to stay in power forever was predictable.
He's bragged about being a dictator who treats prisoners worse than caged animals.
The U.S. must enforce our own laws and treat Bukele as the corrupt human rights violator he is.

The Trump Administration is withholding hundreds of millions of dollars the CDC planned to use for:
—Gun violence research.
—Efforts targeting diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and tobacco use.
—Youth violence prevention programs.
The consequences will be devastating.

Last year, President Trump promised over and over again to voters he’d cover IVF treatment.
Not only has he abandoned that pledge, but he's also slashed health care for 17 million people in his tax and spending bill. It’s shameless.

Alarming reports suggest that U.S.-based security companies—employing American military veterans—have used lethal force against unarmed Palestinian civilians at aid distribution sites.

Out of tragedy, the Tatro family has created a powerful movement in Vermont to expand access to substance use disorder treatment and saved many lived.
Here's to many more years of making a difference.
