The "Flood the Red Zone" campaign takes the message of taxing the rich directly to working-class voters.
Their goal: ensuring politicians focus on policies that benefit all Americans, not just the ultra-wealthy. A fairer economy is a stronger democracy. 🇺🇸 #SaveAmerica

Why are millionaires demanding higher taxes on themselves? Because money is money.
Investment income (wealth, rich people) should be taxed at the same rate as labor income (wages, workers). That's what the Equal Tax Act (H.R. 5336) is designed to do. #TaxFairness

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

Vermonters deserve real solutions. We need fair, progressive taxation and meaningful investment in our schools. What we don’t need are political cover-ups or austerity disguised as reform. #vtpoli

This isn’t about fixing property taxes. It’s about shifting the burden onto students and working families while protecting the wealthy

He’s raiding the Education Reserve Fund, cutting universal school meals, and pushing consolidation schemes that silence communities and shut down schools.

Closing schools doesn’t solve problems. Fair taxation does.
Governor Scott’s so-called “reform” is a direct attack on Vermont’s public education.

We need a real opposition. But when nearly 20% of the Democratic caucus failed to act at a pivotal moment, it’s beyond disappointing. It’s outrageous. #vtpoli #vthealthcare #vermont #savethesubstidies

While Trump and his allies celebrate economic devastation, they rake in trillions through tax cuts and shady deals. Meanwhile, ordinary people suffer.

Let’s be clear: the root of this crisis lies with President Trump and his sycophants. Those who once opposed him now bend to his every whim. It’s reprehensible.

This decision is bad policy and bad politics. And the Democratic Party wonders why trust is eroding.

What’s worse? The Democrats who voted for this aren’t up for re-election in 2026. They know voters have short memories. Their vulnerable colleagues—and the party—will pay the price.

But now, those hopes have been dashed. Again.

Some said the message was moderate. Others said it was progressive. Either way, it was a landslide. Voters demanded change. They believed Democrats would stand with working people.

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.🧵

Small schools aren’t the cost drivers. Let BOCES work. Share resources. Buy in bulk. Fix healthcare costs. Shift mental health funding to Human Services. #SmartSavings #vtpoli #datadrivenpolicy

The process feels rushed. The Administration hasn’t provided the data to justify these changes. We need transparency and real numbers before making big decisions.

My remarks and others were met with strong support. Vermonters are fed up. Taxes are too high — and the burden falls hardest on working & middle-class families

People spoke passionately about their small schools and the value of local choice — especially in non-operating districts. These communities matter

The Governor’s claim of $180M/year in savings from school consolidation? Most attendees didn’t buy it. Many pointed out rising costs elsewhere would cancel out any savings.

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.

The Pope also understood that we are integrally connected to our planet and that we must take steps to decrease our impact on this sphere we call earth.

“It’s hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of help… If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I’m a hypocrite.”

“To live charitably means not looking out for our own interests, but carrying the burdens of the weakest and the poorest among us.”
“I ask you to ensure that humanity is served by wealth and not ruled by it.”

I am also saddened for all of us. While the position he held, like any leader, has its constraints, he led with a kindness towards strangers and an open heart. The following represent some of his passages that stand out for me.

Few people are in positions of power where so much good or so much harm can occur to their words and deeds.
I first want to express my condolences to his family. And in that I include his extended biological family as well as the family of his faith.

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. 🧵

USDA halts millions of dollars worth of deliveries to food banks The halt in deliveries comes after the Trump administration separately slashed $1 billion for schools and food banks to buy food from farms.
