These rushed hrgs should NEVER have moved frwrd w/out testing measures in place, which is why I participated remotely. But NOTHING will stop me from talking about the VTers & other Americans whose lives are at stake w/this nominee who's a guaranteed vote to kill the #ACA. https://t.co/DEf1L1GL2l
I am so pleased @LibnOfCongress Dr. Hayden has selected Shira Perlmutter as the next Register of Copyrights.

It's the last month to respond to the #2020Census. An undercount will have 10 yrs of consequences for nutrition. At stake in VT: $160 million of annual funding for programs like for free school lunch, Meals on Wheels and 3SquaresVT. #YouCount. Go to https://t.co/1eZpecKg7c today.
All Americans, including fed. employees, have the right know what their govt. is doing. Retaliation against fed. employees for using #FOIA is unacceptable. I'm proud to intro. the Federal Employee Access to Information Act to prohibit such retaliation: https://t.co/JwS85XyZDH

And here’s a link to our letter calling on USCIS to halt these unnecessary furloughs NOW: https://t.co/ytUHv5yg8y
With USCIS now projecting a SURPLUS not a deficit, there's NO REASON it should furlough thousands of dedicated USCIS employees, including in VT. It MUST halt these furloughs NOW to prevent needless harm during this pandemic. My letter to @USCIS w/ @SenatorTester here: https://t.co/U70pRd2Di9
RT @lileana_pearson: A peak at my work from yesterday. How will #SCOTUSKavanaugh affect Vermont? https://t.co/AJlu3qnyip
Wonderful news of today’s agreement for the return of the Peace Corps to Vietnam. It’s another milestone in the expanding partnership between our countries, and I know Vermonters will want to be among those who volunteer.

#USCIS says furlough notices were sent to 1,111 dedicated employees in #VT, and thousands more elsewhere. That’s 1,111 more reasons for the Senate GOP to stop blocking a further #COVID emergency #Appropriations bill. I’ll continue to press for action NOW. https://t.co/EAOF6bGuF6 https://t.co/ws8TBcxQ7p
This #TortureVictimsDay, we must recommit to fully reckoning w/our dark legacy of govt-sanctioned torture post 9/11. As more details abt that ugly chapter are uncovered, we must not turn a blind eye but learn from our mistakes and take corrective action. https://t.co/HZgBaVIQFQ
Today I voted NO on DC Circuit nominee Justin Walker. He is an “anti-ACA zealot” nominated b/c of his eagerness to advance a far-right agenda from the bench, not even pretending to be impartial. Read more in op-ed from @SenatorCasey, @SenStabenow, @SenatorBaldwin @SenSherrodBrown

The President’s lawyer just argued that President Trump has steadfastly battled corruption. NOT TRUE. He's tried to GUT anti-corruption aid and wants to WEAKEN a vital anti-corruption law (FCPA). Here are the FACTS: https://t.co/JPmFDJ8HZp https://t.co/G0SMh2DFlH
The argument that impeachment requires a technical crime is simply made up. It’s certainly not grounded in reason or history, let alone in the Constitution. In fact the first federal criminal statute was enacted THREE YEARS AFTER the impeachment clause was adopted.
It's an INSULT that Trump has provided more to the public via FOIA than he's given to Congress, which has constitutional oversight powers. I wrote an Op-Ed on this point last week: https://t.co/yDdp7xtAd3
