Congresscritter calls just made, asking #Bernie and #Welch to work and vote against the #SAVEAct when it reaches the #Senate. I also called #BeccaBalint, thanking her for voting against it, and also for everything's she's done since this nightmare began. Almost cried at the end of that one. #Vermont

Rep. #BeccaBalint Moves To CENSURE #racist, #Islamophobic, transphobic, #farright space laser antisemite knobhead #MarjorieTaylorGreene

#mtg #censure bill arrives at the feet of congress. Not only is Marjorie Taylor Greene a disgrace to our government, she’s a disgrace to humanity. It’s time to fight back against #fascist #bigot s and #hatespeech.
Kudos to Rep. #beccabalint

‘It just looked pathetic and it IS a betrayal.’ Rep. Becca Balint on Sen. Schumer's spending bill flip-flop

#Vermont's #BeccaBalint took part in a reaction party last night with alot of other cool folks. She shows up at the 33 minute mark, give or take. https://www.youtube.com/live/1dxromCVPR0

Our #CongressCritter #BeccaBalint was in our part of #Vermont last week. It sucks that Republicans in #Congress are afraid to say anything because of death threats to them and their families. But I have no sympathy. They did this to themselves. https://www.benningtonbanner.com/local-news/rep-balint-cites-concerns-during-pownal-visit/article_08edb2c0-f0a0-11ef-bdda-fb16a6216f9d.html

Left messages with both #Vermont senators, just now,

1) thanking #Bernie for fighting the good fight and encouraging him to keep doing so and
2) asking #Welch in stronger terms to not negotiate with Republicans on anything, including the "bipartisan" bill he just posted about this week.

I also called #BeccaBalint's office and thanked and encouraged her like I did with Bernie.

It's easy. It took two minutes for all three phonecalls. You can do it, too!

Glad to see my Congresswoman isn't one of the 52 Dems that voted for the new "terrorism" bill, which we all know is really meant to criminalize anyone in the US who dares to criticise Israel's fascism, apartheid, and genocide. #BeccaBalint just might be America's first female POTUS, if she keeps it up.

is it unfair to call #conservatives #GOP #MAGA #republicans vacuous a**holes?

you decide

Just left messages with all our #Vermont representatives this morning (#BernieSanders, #PeterWelch, #BeccaBalint) encouraging them strongly to come out and endorse #KamalaHarris. Welch got an especially scathing message. #VoteBlue #VoteHarris

BECCA BALINT D-VT ON THE TRUMP REICH SUPREME COURT'S PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY RULING
Mastodon Post

Congresswoman Becca Balint emphasized that acts of treason and inciting insurrection are not within the core powers of a President. She expressed concern that Donald Trump’s actions indicate a willingness to act as a dictator, and the Supreme Court’s decision appears to validate this behavior. Balint called for Congress to take action to address what she referred to as an extremist MAGA court, highlighting the critical importance of safeguarding our democracy.

Vote guilty in November.

SUPPORTING FIRST RESPONDERS

Bernie Sanders held a roundtable with first responders in Burlington on Monday, hoping to address their challenges and secure federal support. Topics discussed included recruitment, pay, training, and equipment. Vermont’s congressional delegation is supporting a bill that would guarantee payment for first responders, even if they do not transport someone to the hospital. Representative Becca Balint has introduced a similar bill in the House.

This is an initiative that I certainly support. God knows what might have happened. I make no such claim. It is entirely possible, though, that a Golden Cross rescue team may have saved my life in May 2023.
