This is just cruel

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, Winters get cold in Vermont. Everyone knows that — even Donald Trump.  That’s why it should be a no-brainer to ensure people can afford to keep themselves warm.  But the Trump administration recently laid off the entire staff at the Department of Heal…

Republicans are lying about Social Security

Becca Balint for Vermont   John — Do not believe Republicans when they tell you they won’t cut Social Security.  On the campaign trail, Donald Trump promised voters he wouldn’t touch Social Security. But less than 100 days into his term, he’s already shut down countless offices acros…

We are not a land of kings or oligarchs

Becca Balint for Vermont   John, we are not — nor have we ever been — a land of kings. And the founding of our nation was a unique one because of it. Our founding fathers were determined to be a land by the people, for the people.  Loving this nation and realizing that there is still…
