With Republicans threatening to pass a national abortion ban, it's more important than ever to protect abortion access. Today I'll vote to pass the Women's Health Protection Act and ensure the right to abortion nationwide. https://t.co/zO5JfCTPvr
Three things we can do immediately to protect our democracy: ☑️Overturn the filibuster to restore majority rule to the senate ☑️Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act ☑️Pass the Freedom to Vote Act

Every purchase of Russian oil funds Putin's brutal slaughter in Ukraine. I'm voting YES to ban Russian oil imports and cut Putin's biggest revenue stream. Putin’s war will raise gas prices, and families will need help. We can start with a hard look at American oil companies. 1/3
Companies like Exxon have kept production below 2019 levels to drive up prices at the pump, pad profits, and compensate executives and shareholders. Revenues are ⬆️as much as 57%, while families struggle to pay their bills. It’s exploitation, and it must stop. 2/3
Judge Brown Jackson is an outstanding pick. She is thoughtful, experienced, and brilliant.

Thank you @letamericavote & @stopbigmoney for your endorsement. 12 years ago the Supreme Court decided the Citizens United Case.

In 1967 I was a community organizer and had the honor of meeting Dr. King at the Ebenezer Baptist Church. The memory of his word, and his courage in the face of immense opposition have stayed with me. Today we honor his legacy through action.

This morning, the House voted on voting rights legislation that requires states to allow early voting, establish automatic voter registration, and creates other essential protections for voters. I voted YES to protect our democracy and your right to vote.
Electric vehicles are key to a sustainable future, but they're unaffordable for most. Today, I led a group of 19 of my colleagues in a letter to carmakers on the need for affordable EVs to combat the climate crisis and improve air quality.

I joined @AgeWellVT for an @_MealsOnWheel delivery this morning and learned about the great work they do in our communities. Food aid and personal connection are critical for seniors as we enter the cold winter months and Age Well provides both for the most vulnerable among us. https://t.co/1ldV9ztF5e
The good news is that Dems have a plan. Passing #BuildBackBetter will lower drug prices and protect patients from these outrageous price hikes. This report's conclusions are frustrating -- but we can and must act here. Let's pass #BuildBackBetter and end Pharma's abuses. 2/2
Big Pharma uses unfair and unjustified price increases to increase their revenues. They put your health in jeopardy to line their pockets. It's wrong and we've got to put a stop to it. 1/2
Two of my biggest priorities in Congress have been fighting to lower healthcare for every Vermonter and addressing climate change. In passing #BuildBackBetter, House Democrats just took a huge step forward on both fronts. More work to do! Onwards.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill invests over $100 million in expanding broadband access in Vermont– and Vermonters need it. With these new investments, we can start to close the digital divide. https://t.co/CQmBdjMS6e

@WelchForVT
Last night I voted yes on the $1T Bipartisan Infrastructure package because we all know our infrastructure is crumbling, rural communities need broadband to survive, and we need a greener transportation. Next up is passing the Build Back Better Act to help our families.
