Hossam Bahgat is facing years in prison for expressing views that would not be a crime in the U.S. or any other country that respects freedom of expression. By releasing him the Gov’t of Egypt would be doing justice. https://t.co/WIqqoe234L

In the face of Vermont’s nursing workforce shortage, Vermont’s state colleges have stepped up to help educate more nurses and provide Vermonters with a path to a good career. As the husband of a nurse, I am proud to support their important work. @VSC_Ed #NVRH @VermontTPM

The missile strike that killed 10 innocent Afghans on 9/29 was a terrible ending to our prolonged military presence there. I commend General MacKenzie for taking responsibility and apologizing. It is essential that the family is compensated for their loss.
Proud today, w/ @SenSanders, to introduce VT's own Justice Beth Robinson at her 2nd Circ. confirmation hearing. Her nom. is historic. She would be the first openly gay woman on our circ. courts. She’s a brilliant & impartial jurist w/ support across the political spectrum. https://t.co/G9wLA8g4X5

Vermonters are already seeing and feeling the impacts of climate change, and many of our economy’s bedrock sectors are particularly vulnerable, including our #maple sugar industry. Unless we urgently address the climate crisis, Vermont could lose this iconic sector. https://t.co/0nncYzXMYd
In Congress, I am proud to support the important work of @The_FEMC, @UVM_RSENR, in understanding climate change’s impact on our norther forest region and improving the resilience and viability of our invaluable #maple producers. https://t.co/k967jIQAGo
