We have to get beyond the partisan rhetoric around this. We really, really do. This is lives.

Let's talk about the invasion of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, when the heart of American democracy was attacked by a mob, many of them violent, of then President Trump supporters who fought to keep him in power illegally.

The evidence is overwhelming and yet many, many Republican Members of the House not only continue to deny the truth, but still will not admit that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.

Before I begin, let me just say may the record show the Vermonter is here. Snow across D.C.; the Vermonter is here. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a voice for rural America. In Vermont's capital city, Montpelier, we do not have a functioning…

Here we are in a new year, a new opportunity to actually do something for our people back home. It is discouraging and frankly embarrassing that this has been the least productive Congress in U.S. history. The chaos and dysfunction in this…

No one should need permission from a judge or a Governor to make a personal choice for their family and for their health. This week, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that 31-year-old mother of two, Kate Cox, was not entitled to a medically…

Three young college students went for a walk in Burlington, Vermont, during their Thanksgiving break: Hishem, Kinnaan, and Taahseen spoke Arabic to one another and wore keffiyehs. They were shot. Whether or not this meets the legal…

Budgets--when you're in government, budgets are a statement of your values.

We are seeing that today in stark relief in this Nation, but also around the world.

Those are the grim consequences from Republicans inability and unwillingness to govern.

It's frustrating and tedious for those of us in the Committee.

We have important work to do in this country. We need to continue to invest in schools so that we can reduce poverty. We need to alleviate hunger. We need to work together to build better outcomes for kids. We need to give teachers a…

Parents and voters across this country understand the biggest challenges facing America's students in our public schools, and it is not about curriculum that includes details about slavery or the Trail of Tears or Anne Frank. That is not…

I often say that Vermont is held together with duct tape, twine, and hundreds of volunteer hours. I rise today to highlight the work of Lewis Lyman Sumner. His 54-year commitment to the Halifax community has been immeasurably impactful. He…

I just want to start by giving a heartfelt thank you to my colleague, Morgan McGarvey, a dear friend whose family has become close to my family. Our wives have become close. It just means so much to me to be standing here on the floor of…

President Trump's politicalization of normally neutral positions and frequent criticism of his own bureaucracy hurt the public's faith in government, the morale of employees who remain, and the prospects that a new generation will even…

We have Americans suffering because we have starved government of the resources it needs to take care of our constituents.

I always say that Vermont is held together with duct tape, twine, and hundreds of hours of volunteer service. The other thing that we know about Vermonters: They pay their bills. They also stay when you are in the midst of an emergency…

When I listen to my constituents reflect on Silicon Valley Bank and its collapse, they really remember feeling worried not just about SVB, but really about their local banks.

I want Vermonters who have their money at local and community banks to understand the specific choices that were made by SVB executives that put their customers' money at risk.

Not an incentive, just a mandate. So, it is not hyperbole to say that independent pharmacies in so many of our rural communities are the heart of the community.

It is not hyperbole to say that independent pharmacies in so many of our rural communities are the heart of the community.

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.

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.

Without continued attention to our rural areas, I really feel that our communities are going to continue to suffer, and this is not good for the democracy.
