In these difficult times building community, and support for each other, is extremely important. That’s why I’m holding community dances around Vermont.

We just had a great event in Hardwick. People of all ages danced the night away.

Walter Cronkite, who was described as the most trusted man in America, once said:

“Freedom of the press is not just important to democracy, it is democracy.”

Judge Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, rules that the administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of TdA. It’s a wartime authority & we are not at war, he holds. On to the 5th Circuit & SCOTUS.

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.

They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.

They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.

The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

We need the best educated workforce in the world.

We need the best teachers in the world.

We need to pay our teachers fairly for the important work they do.

No teacher in America should begin at less than $60,000 a year.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of Secretary Alexis Herman—my Soror, a trailblazer, and the first Black woman to lead the Dept. of Labor. Her impact on this country and the fight for working people runs deep. Rest in power, Madam Secretary.
