Thank you Amanda Janoo, June Goodband, Esther Charlestin, @mollyforvermont, Sen. Andrew Perchlik, @Sen. Irene Wrenner, Elaine Haney, Amy Moore, and all the state reps and House candidates who have endorsed the Vermont #DefendTheGuard Act. #VTpoli
Dozens of VT candidates have endorsed the #DefendTheGuard Act to prohibit deployment of the Vermont National Guard to foreign combat without congressional authorization.

VT Republican State Senator Steven Heffernan used the floor of our legislature to compare transgender people to animals.
Prop 4 is on the ballot this November. So is the question of who represents us in Montpelier.
Watch this video. Share it. And remember it on Election Day.

Good chatting with @WCAX_Adam from @wcax about Vermont #DefendTheGuard and Rep. Birong’s shameful blocking of a hearing for this bill. 🔗 Link to watch in comments below. #WarPowers #VTpoli
A motion in support of the Vermont Defend the Guard Act (H.355), passed the Brattleboro, VT Town Meeting unanimously on Saturday. The bill would prohibit deployment of the Natl Guard to combat absent congressional authorization, per the U.S. Constitution. #DefendTheGuard #VTpoli

When Congress fails to follow the Constitution then it’s up to the states.
And the people.
Action Corps National Director @iefrantz spoke with David Swanson on Talk World Radio to discuss why state governments passing the #DefendTheGuard act is vital in upholding the U.S. constitution as Congress actively abdicates its war making responsibilities.

The Vermont Guard now in Middle East on unconstitutional Iran-related mission.
Will Rep. Matt Birong, Gov Ops & Military Affairs chair, hold immediate hearing on the #DefendTheGuard Act to uphold Constitution & protect Vermonters?
Will @SKrowinski ensure this happens? #VTpoli
The New Hampshire Adjutant General admitted that the Vermont National Guard participated in hostilities in Venezuela.
#DefendTheGuard Act in the Vermont Legislature would have prohibited that unconstitutional deployment

We’ve reached a point where any mix of solutions to our nation’s economic problems is going to involve the wealthiest Americans contributing more. nytimes.com/2025/12/19/opini…

Unfortunately, today’s document release by @AGPamBondi and @DAGToddBlanche grossly fails to comply with both the spirit and the letter of the law that @realDonaldTrump signed just 30 days ago. @RepRoKhanna is correct.
The DOJ’s document dump of hundreds of thousands of pages failed to comply with the law authored by @RepThomasMassie and me.
One document, 119 pages of Grand Jury testimony, was completely redacted.
I explain what is missing and what the survivors and their lawyers are still expecting to be released.

Appreciating Oklahoma Republican @RepMarkMcBride’s call for a new issuance of #SpecialDrawingRights (#SDR #SDRs) for #GlobalCrisisRelief.
Share this from @TheOklahoman_:
US can help struggling world without costing taxpayers a dime
“This Christmas the U.S. has the chance to give the world a gift that actually meets a need… A little-known tool called Special Drawing Rights, or SDRs.”

Something I said in this interview, re: Gaza, and the U.S. role in the world:
Until we recognize the US role—and that this is not some kind of aberration but a continuation of the way the US has shown up in the world—we’re going to miss the importance of Americans speaking up.
New on the Substack: How to organize on global justice.
Politicians say voters don't care abt foreign policy. Wonks just focus on policy papers.
@iefrantz + @theactioncorps organize ordinary ppl for just foreign policy. I interviewed him on what they do + what to learn from it

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.
Political violence has no place in our country.

Visited one of the motels here in Brattleboro, Vermont where people are being forced out of shelter today. People will very likely die as a result of this policy. Please consider supporting organizations like endhomelessnessvt.org
Today 73 vulnerable adults and 34 children in Brattleboro, Vermont, will lose their shelter. This is the result of a policy decision by Vermont Gov. Phil Scott that may cause some of our neighbors to die. #VTpoli
