A peek into how I spend my free time. ❤️🏍️

Rep. Caraveo, thank you for sharing your story. I, too, struggle with anxiety and depression and as members of Congress we have to lead by example to end the stigma. You are so brave, and I'm so proud to serve with you. Sending love and support from Vermont. Love, Becca

Blocking the merger of Kroger and Albertsons is going to be critical for families across the country by keeping costs down and protecting grocery workers. Stop the mega-merger.

A little bit of help for Vermonters: If your job was impacted by the flooding last month —maybe from an injury, a loss of transportation, or you lost work — you may be eligible for federal aid. Learn more at labor.vermont.gov/dua.

Important reminder to parents across the country: Your mental health matters. Show up for other parents and caregivers in your community. Raising kids is no easy task and requires a team. There's worry and joy — let's help one another lean into the joy. nytimes.com/2024/08/28/opi…

❤️September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a reminder of the need to expand resources and address this crisis.   ❤️Every Vermonter and every American deserves access to high-quality, affordable mental health care. ❤️If you or a loved one is in crisis, call or text 988.

Labor Day is a time to reflect on the progress we've made for America's workers. We've come so far since my first job as a waitress years ago.   In that spirit, I asked some friends around Washington, DC to tell me a little bit about their first jobs 📺 m.youtube.com/watch?v=ezR8oZ…

Vermont is union strong. America is union strong. Without the labor movement, we would not have the workplace protections, safety, and benefits that every family deserves. Let's keep pushing for better workplaces for all.

A few members of my team welcomed Olympian Ilona Maher back home to Vermont. We’re so proud of you, Ilona! ❤️🤍💙

Many housing providers are using algorithms to collude to jack up rent. Vice President Harris supports my bill to ban that practice — the Preventing Algorithmic Facilitation of Rental Housing Cartels Act. Let's pass it and lower rent for families across the country.

I am a parent. Every school year brings the anxiety that my kids could be victims of gun violence. I’m crying for the families in Georgia who won’t see their children tonight. We don’t have to live like this. It’s sickening. We must break the power of the NRA. For our children.

Far-right Republicans have been exposed for peddling Russian propaganda. I'm sure the Judiciary Committee will be holding a hearing on this, right Rep. Jim Jordan?

Instead of doling out tens of millions to executives, the Federal Home Loan Banks should be doing what Congress created them to do: funding affordable housing. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Today I’m mourning the killings of 2 more educators. Hundreds of thousands of students and teachers have been exposed to horrific gun violence. As a former classroom teacher, it sickens me that these mentors, role models & public servants are gunned down while educating our kids.

Federal prosecutors charged Dmitri Simes and his wife, Anastasia Simes, in an alleged scheme to violate sanctions. The rot runs deeper. Still waiting for House Judiciary GOP 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 to schedule a hearing on these DOJ charges that keep expanding.

For the second year, I’ve visited all 14 counties in Vermont. I've loved exploring rural Vermont communities like Lunenburg, Georgia, North Hero, Hyde Park, Bellows Falls, Ludlow, and so many more. Check out some highlights in each county!
