On this International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, we must remember that if you allow the rights of LGBTQ people to be violated, you’re opening the door for that to happen to you too. Our demand for equality is not just our own. https://t.co/Ct0q72JOuB

I’m encouraged that overdose deaths fell nationally for the third straight year. As good as this news is, it just shows that we can’t take our foot off the gas. We need to provide these critical programs the resources they need – clearly it pays off. https://t.co/U3rNPptUOg

Right now, we’re watching a systematic attack on the political power of Black voters across the South. It threatens to bring us back to a deeply shameful part of our past. Today, I’m standing in solidarity with the National Day of Action and in support of fair representation for every American.

I’m furious at the decision to grant clemency to Tina Peters. She was convicted by a jury of her peers of illegally granting access to voting machines and allowing election data to be copied and shared on the internet to serve wild conspiracy theories. As we work to strengthen confidence in our elections and defend our democracy from Trump and his cronies, this sends exactly the wrong message. It is a dangerous and deeply misguided mistake that weakens accountability at a moment when our democracy needs it most.

This is cartoonishly corrupt. I know that we’ve come to expect this from Trump and his cronies, but that doesn’t mean that we still don’t deserve better. The President of the United States should serve the American people – not just himself.

As we head toward the midterms, I wanted to let you know that we aren’t taking any threat to our safe, fair, and free elections lightly. https://t.co/jpgpSVhyvx

Proud to host René Sylvestre, Québec’s Delegate to New England, yesterday in my office. I’m looking forward to working with Mr. Sylvestre to build on the historically close relationship between Vermonters and Québecers in the years to come. https://t.co/sHdWxmz81T

Last night, I was proud to jam with @RepHuffman and @RepCasten on stage at the @cong_record!   It was a great evening full of appreciation for the arts and recommitment to protecting its presence in our schools for our kids. https://t.co/vFBFQ4m3N3
