"A living wage is an antidepressant. It is a sleep aid. A diet. A stress reliever. It is a contraceptive, preventing teenage pregnancy. It prevents premature death. It shields children from neglect."#FightFor15 #vtpoli #RaiseUpVT @rightsvt @RaisetheWageVT nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

Right now, there is not a single state in which a worker paid the minimum wage can afford to rent a 2 bedroom apartment. That is unacceptable. We must see to it that the federal minimum wage is raised to at least $15 an hour, and make housing affordable for working people.

What's your voting plan for #TownMeetingDay tomorrow? Studies show if you have a plan for when and how you're getting to the polls, you're much more likely to actually get there and participate in your local democracy. Thank you for being a voter - see you at the polls!

420 Vermonters died from firearms between 2011 + 2016. 89% of those (374 individuals) were suicides. Support S.22 and H.159. #vtpoli

The marijuana bill has cleared the Senate. It now goes to the House. We need to let our Reps know we support it. And the Governor!.

Donald Trump inherited this economy and he’s doing his best through artificial trade wars, a deficit busting Wall Street 1% tax cut and the longest government shutdown in history over a needless wall to screw it up

The hypocrisy is abominable. #vtpoli
If you’re really #RightToLife you wouldn’t support war or separating families at the border. You’d support women, women’s health, children, early childhood education, & high-quality affordable childcare. You’d address poverty, & not try to control women’s bodies. #vtleg #vtpoli

BREAKING: There’s a massive protest planned for outside of the White House at noon today. Hundreds of other cities are also holding protests as well. Calling out Trump’s rampant abuse of power, obstruction and treason on President’s Day. Demanding he resign or be impeached. Good.

"I didn't need to do this" is something I occasionally say after ordering dessert, not after ordering national emergencies.

Trump declared #NationalEmergency - a #FakeTrumpEmergency for his racist & wasteful Wall. We're ready to hit streets in emergency protests MONDAY, #PresidentsDay, a mass outcry defending immigrants & democracy. Sign up for info on local events: crisisresponse.us #DefundHate

This President continues to try and go around the checks and balances in our government. This wall is racist and unnecessary and I’m going to do everything I can to stop this national emergency declaration.
Addison County VT Dems retweeted
Trump is declaring a national emergency to bypass Congress, to build a wall we don’t need, to address a crisis that doesn’t exist, by claiming an authority he doesn’t have.
If that sounds like nonsense, it’s because it is. It’s also plainly unconstitutional.
Addison County VT Dems retweeted
There’s no national emergency at the border. Unauthorized border crossings are at their lowest levels in decades, about one-third of their peak levels two decades ago. If there were an emergency, the president wouldn’t have waited two years to make this political decision.
Addison County VT Dems retweeted
First, Call your MoCs NOW and demand they act immediately to stop this illegal, anti-democratic power grab in its tracks by using their powers under the National Emergencies Act to reject this #FakeTrumpEmergency and immediately launch an investigation: ☎️ 1-855-980-2355 ☎️

I'm old enough to remember when "national emergency" actually meant an emergency to the nation and not an emergency to a damaged politico ego.
Addison County VT Dems retweeted
The fact that children continue to be removed from their parents at the border is the only TRUE emergency. We told people to come to this country for a better life; for a chance at the American dream. This is not what that looks like. This is shameful. #FakeTrumpEmergency #vtpoli
