The reason why I am so fiercely protective of the Postal Service is because it is not just Vermont. It is rural America that absolutely depends on postal operations.

The Postal Service is an absolutely essential service not just to Vermont, but to rural America, and protecting the Postal Service is one of my top priorities in Congress.

Congress has no business getting in between women and their doctors and no business wasting your time.

I am focused on the future, like my colleagues here, in preventing this from ever happening again.

It is morally bankrupt and deeply un-American to continue to attack these kids.

A 22 percent budget cut would likely eliminate Pell Grants altogether, and it would reduce the maximum award by nearly $1,000 for the remaining recipients.

The Republican bill would slash mental health supports for students, and at a time when we can all agree that we have a mental health crisis in this country, we should be investing more in this area and not making cuts.

The Republican bill would potentially cut funding to low-income students at a time when we are talking about allowing people to get ahead.

The United States cannot become a deadbeat Nation. We have never failed to pay our bills, and to do so now would have dire consequences on American families, including the ones living in my district in Vermont.

Considering environmental, social, and governance factors in investment decisions, I believe, is just good fiduciary practice.

Imposing sanctions makes it harder or raises the cost of doing business for cartels.

I am grateful for President Biden's leadership on this issue.

I just want to plant a flag in the ground and say we cannot let the Postal Service die on the vine.

It is really not an overstatement to say that rural America depends on the Postal Service.

We cannot let the Postal Service die on the vine. Rural America is depending on us to figure this out.

We absolutely owe it to parents and, of course, children to make sure that we do not face another crisis.

It is a safe and effective medication. We have to focus on infant formula today.

We are going to see what the consumer will bear.

We had one executive, make sure I get this right, executive from Kroger saying, 'Hey, a little bit of inflation is always good in our business.'

These are not necessarily Democrats that are saying this. There are people across the political spectrum who are trying to feed the people in their communities.

I have to bring up what I hear when I travel around Vermont. We have a lot of general stores in Vermont.

It is not in their minds that they are being fleeced. They are absolutely being fleeced.

Last year, as so many Vermont families like mine saw their grocery bills, their gas bills skyrocket, we know that many American companies were posting record profits.

The new budget that has been proposed will actually cut the deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next 10 years.

In essence, I think we all want to try to focus on solutions here, right? It is a 'yes/and.'
