Trump’s haphazard policy of chaos works for some MAGA supporters who have accepted his role as supreme leader. For everyone else, there’s reality.
“Americans who prefer a fact-based reality supported by a law-based society view the president’s speech and actions as debasing America’s core values.”
“Jackson often spoke of the power of unity and of bringing the American people together to overcome the nation’s biggest problems.”
“[A local option tax] can help Bristol residents afford improvements to the town that property taxes alone can’t accommodate.”
“[Legislators] would be wise to also reconsider how to protect Vermonters in the near-certain event that ICE and CBP officers initiate an immigration sweep through the state.”
“Make no mistake that Pretti’s killing, like Good’s, was cold-blooded murder by ICE agents encouraged to use excessive force without fear of retribution.”
“As Trump plays the role of Mad King in Davos, America stands embarrassed and belittled.”
“By being prepared, Vermonters can hopefully avoid the worst of ICE’s tendency to use excessive force in what are often illegal ways, while offering support to a valued part of our communities.”
“Donald Trump does not ‘disagree’ with his opponents. In his pursuit of absolute power, he attempts to destroy anyone who stands in his way.”
Last year, Phil Scott took the lead on education reform and he spent his address on Wednesday championing that reform. But he tells a partial story.
Trump is not the most productive president in his first year; the more accurate claim is he’s done the most damage any president ever has. In one realm — mayhem — he’s a leader.
“The hope going into the upcoming legislative session is Gov. Phil Scott will work with the legislature to reach a better place.”
“Taxpayers expect a high value for the money spent with the success of future projects dependent on that fulfillment. But when that high bar is met, it’s gratifying.”
“Just half of the projected [property tax] increase is due to anticipated increases in higher school budgets in the 2026-2027 school year.”
“The Act 73 Redistricting Task Force recognizes that closing small schools and creating mega-school districts will not solve Vermont’s rising education costs.”
