Congratulations to @Middlebury's women's hockey team on a record-breaking season and your national championship! A huge achievement for the Panthers. https://t.co/HFP06FEHfe — PolitiTweet.org

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson began her Senate confirmation hearings today. She's a highly qualified and dedicated jurist and an excellent choice for the Supreme Court. I wish her the best of luck as she navigates her upcoming hearings. — PolitiTweet.org

Frank is a real leader and his personal story is so inspiring to folks in recovery and those hoping to build and grow businesses here in Vermont. Thanks, Frank, for sharing your story. https://t.co/OJyKLcZemg — PolitiTweet.org

More Amtrak access is great for Vermont. It'll give folks a convenient travel option that costs less than a plane ticket and is better for the environment than flying and driving. That's a win for Vermonters and for our planet. https://t.co/bFZ5Bfvl7S — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

This is good news for the millions of Americans with medical debt. But this is a bandaid fix for a bigger problem: no American should struggle to afford health care. We can bring down health care costs now through #MedicareNegotiation. Let's get it done. https://t.co/NhKDh8InZa — PolitiTweet.org

I’m with @RepBonnie here. I encourage the Senate to pass the #CROWNAct and take a step towards addressing systemic racism in our country. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Vermonters are leading the fight for a more efficient, greener electrical grid -- and they're creating good jobs in the Green Mountain state while they do it. Congrats to the talented folks @PacketizedE! https://t.co/P7XLLWSQwH — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

So many low-income Vermonters depend on LIHEAP to pay their energy bills. But Putin's war has driven energy costs even higher, and families need support. I co-led a letter calling on @HHSGov to give families the help they need to meet high energy costs. https://t.co/qxNZY1Z1I8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

In 2021, more than 5,000 Vermonters fell victim to fraud. Seniors get hit hardest, losing 3x more money to scammers than folks aged 20-29. I supported the Fraud and Scam Reduction Act, which is now law, so we can protect seniors from predatory scams. https://t.co/pJNQjsZzE8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

This is a corporate greed issue: oil companies are using high prices at the pump to tally record profits and compensate execs. It's profiteering, pure and simple. We need a windfall profits tax to rein in Big Oil's exploitation and price gouging. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

For every dollar a man makes, women average only 83 cents. That's why I support the Paycheck Fairness Act. We must continue to work towards workplace equality today on #EqualPayDay and every day moving forward. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The last two years have shown how much kids need reliable internet to learn and thrive. Thanks to the #AmericanRescuePlan's Emergency Connectivity Fund, Vermont schools got $5.2 million for better equipment and internet service to help our students succeed. https://t.co/sUqMvTVU3p — PolitiTweet.org

This evening I tested positive for COVID. Thankfully, my symptoms,which started this morning, are mild. I am grateful for the protection I have from my vaccine and booster. If you're eligible, please get vaccinated & boosted. I will be isolating and working from home this week. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

This news from @OrganicValley is great for so many Vermont dairy farms, who were left hanging when Danone announced they're leaving the region. There's more work ahead to get VT dairy farms the help they need to thrive, but this is a major step forward. https://t.co/IUs2m8fAUq — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

We've seen the impact of climate change in Vermont and across the country. From historic flooding here at home to droughts out west, climate change puts our communities at risk. That's why I'm joining the call for climate action in reconciliation. We need a #ClimateRestart. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Washington should be working to get affordable and accessible healthcare for all Americans – not trying to take away coverage from folks who need it. Let's get our priorities straight: protect ACA coverage and keep pushing for #MedicareForAll. https://t.co/vxrGTnQVst — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Vermonters are passionate about finding creative solutions to the challenges we face at home. With the leadership of @SenatorLeahy, the Vermont congressional delegation is bringing home $200 million for community projects to solve pressing problems the way only Vermonters can. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

We need major improvements to USPS so Vermonters can rely on the postal service to deliver essential letters and packages. The Postal Service Reform Act will do just that. I’m glad the Senate passed this important legislation, and I look forward to seeing it signed into law. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

We need to put an end to oil's profiteering and lower costs for families TODAY. And for long-term energy security, we need to build a clean energy future and stop relying on bad actors like Exxon to keep our cars running and the lights on. We can do both. Let's get it done. 3/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Companies like Exxon have kept production below 2019 levels to drive up prices at the pump, pad profits, and compensate executives and shareholders. Revenues are ⬆️as much as 57%, while families struggle to pay their bills. It’s exploitation, and it must stop. 2/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Every purchase of Russian oil funds Putin's brutal slaughter in Ukraine. I'm voting YES to ban Russian oil imports and cut Putin's biggest revenue stream. Putin’s war will raise gas prices, and families will need help. We can start with a hard look at American oil companies. 1/3 — PolitiTweet.org

Vermonters have long welcomed refugees into our communities, and I know we will continue to do so for Ukrainians and for folks around the world fleeing persecution and violence. I'll explore all available avenues to help refugees find safety in the US. https://t.co/shk0JeCis3 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The President is spot on here. We can’t fund Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine. And we’ve got to pair this with actions that help American families with high prices at the pump today and build fossil free future tomorrow. Let’s get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

The cost of the war must include caring for the warrior when they return home. I’ll keep fighting to get our veterans the care they need. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Congrats to these Vermont businesses getting some much-deserved recognition. A special shout-out to Cafe Mamajuana for reaching the semifinals for Best New Restaurant, a huge accomplishment! Congratulations to all! https://t.co/w4fWf98aKg — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

I joined a group of bipartisan lawmakers for a video meeting with President Zelensky on the war in Ukraine this morning. He showed determination and resolve in the face of horrifying circumstances. We stand united with Ukraine against Russia’s unprovoked aggression. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Good luck to Spencer Wood, who will compete in his second Paralympic games in Beijing over the next few days. Spencer's talent and determination is amazing to watch and makes all Vermonters proud. Go get 'em Spencer! https://t.co/Prwowy5d7w — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Peter Welch @PeterWelch

Investing in clean energy manufacturing in the US is a win-win-win: it helps us achieve energy independence, creates jobs, and cuts harmful greenhouse gas emissions that come from burning fossil fuels. Let's build a greener future--and make it right here in America. — PolitiTweet.org
