If due process is denied for anyone, it can be denied for you too. If anyone can be snatched off the streets, detained, and deported without due process, it can happen to you too. We demand due process is upheld for every single person.

Do not let Republicans tell you they're not going to touch Social Security. I introduced an amendment to explicitly prevent any cuts to Social Security. But every Republican on the Budget Committee voted against it. And it was defeated in the Rules Committee by the Republicans.

The SAVE Act is blatant voter suppression for tens of millions of women and trans Americans. It should terrify us all. I'm voting NO.

Joined audie cornish to discuss the impact of Trump's tariffs. Small businesses can’t deal with the "on again, off again" approach. They can’t plan, can't invest, can’t hire when Trump might change his mind tomorrow or in an hour. He has so much contempt for working people.

Trump told everyone to buy stocks hours before walking back tariffs yesterday. And this is the result. There's a name for this: market manipulation. And it’s illegal. He knows exactly what he's doing and will continue to play with people's money until he has everyone bending the

Hey Mike Lee, you can show all the “fact” sheets you want, but this is about practical implications. If you changed your name, you will not be able to vote unless you jump through excessive hoops that require time, money, and travel if you live in a rural area. Just admit

In this interview, I discuss coming out, teaching middle school, my first time running for office, and how we can meet this moment when our democracy is under threat. Take a look!

Earlier today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step toward citizenship. Instead, he was handcuffed and arrested by plain-clothed, armed, individuals with their faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and

Vermont is enraged that the Trump administration is sending masked men to snatch up legal residents to essentially disappear them with no evidence. Good people across this country are standing up and resisting. I don't recognize America at this point. Release Mohsen Mahdawi NOW.

The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that the United States government must return Kilmar Abrego Garcia home from prison in El Salvador. Donald Trump is blatantly ignoring and denying the ruling. Yes, we are in a constitutional crisis.

Vermont Congressmember Becca Balint demands the release of Mohsen Mahdawi, the Columbia student arrested by ICE this week. “He is being attacked because of free speech. This should terrify every single person living in this country, regardless of your citizenship status.”

The most corrupt people in America are in charge of the federal government. And taxpayers will pay the price. It's just grift after grift with the Trump Administration.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia must be released and brought home to Maryland. He is innocent. No government can snatch people off the street and ship them to prison without due process. It should terrify us all. I'm thankful Senator Chris Van Hollen is headed there to demand his release.

Correct, people have been abducted and jailed for voicing their opinions....by YOUR government! I don't know what your definition of free speech is, because it's clearly not the freedom to protest, publish op-eds, or disagree with the government. We don't buy this for a second.

Dear Senator Sen. Lisa Murkowski, You have power as a United States Senator whose party is in the majority. We each have power, but you do especially. Find your bravery and others will follow. I promise you. Our democracy depends on it. Sincerely, Becca

"If they're so damn proud of the work they're doing for our government, then show you're damn faces." Rep. Becca Balint tells (((DeanObeidallah))) about the Trump administration demanding universities ban masks, but allow ICE agents to hide their identity as they grab people off the street.

I earned my Masters in Education from Harvard. Very proud alumna, especially today. Harvard is doing more to save us from a Trump dictatorship than many others who swear an oath to do so.
