3 % inflation. NATO growing and more solid than ever. huge investment in tech and infrastructure. And Rs? Screeching about Hunter Biden's laptop and defunding the FBI. Simply pathetic.

About #DebtCeiling Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) tells CNN: "Almost 25% of the national debt accumulated over the history of the United States, 230 years, was accumulated during the four years of Donald Trump".. says GOP leaders "need to face the responsibility to pay for it"

The next time you hear conservatives blame Democrats for inflation being at a 40-year high, politely remind them that corporate profits are at a 70-year high.

BREAKING: Shell has reported profits of $9.5B for Q3 2022 compared to $4.1B for Q3 2021. It isn't inflation. It's not a labor shortage. This is 100% corporate greed.

Why are Dems so reluctant to blame inflation on one of its major causes — corporations raising prices faster than their costs in order to fatten their profit margins? If they want to win this November, they must hone in on corporate greed and underscore their plan to fight it.

Corporate profits only accounted for roughly 11% of price growth from 1979 to 2019. Today, record corporate profits account for 53.9% of price increases. Folks, corporate greed is driving inflation, not workers asking for better wages.

Republicans in Congress claim that inflation is due to Biden’s spending, and wage increases. Baloney. The major domestic cause of inflation is corporations that have been taking advantage of inflation by raising their prices higher than increasing costs. Don’t be fooled.

Reflections on Jan.6 attempted white nationalist coup: We must guard against false symmetries here. This was an orchestrated riot in defense of a reigning and waning tyrant & white supremacist. It is in no way akin 2 protests demanding justice and resisting racism and oppression.

Mitch McConnell says $2,000 checks are "socialism for the rich." Ha! Here are the tax rebate checks corporations received from Trump's tax plan: Amazon: $129 million Delta: $187 million Chevron: $181 million GM: $104 million IBM: $342 million That's socialism for the rich!

Yesterday, hundreds of VTers gathered in Montpelier in solidarity to paint BLACK LIVES MATTER in front of the capitol building. Early this morning, it was vandalized. These actions reinforce the need to address head-on the racism and white supremacy right here in our communities.

JUST IN: Unrestricted abortion rights will become #VT law. Spokesperson for @GovPhilScott confirms Scott has decided to either sign.. or allow H. 57 to become law w/o his signature - the effect is the same. #vtpoli

Today the Legislature passed a 3rd budget compromise and messaged the bill to the Governor. He has five days to sign the bill, veto it, or allow it to go into law without his signature. Let’s hope he does the right thing and lets the bill become law. #vtpoli

This message about the impasse over the state budget and tax rates reflects the sentiment of many local school officials. These dedicated public servants have held up their end of the bargain and deserve to be heard and respected on the issue. #vted #vtpoli xitter.cf/ThisIsVTed/status/1007…
