There’s no meeting of the minds on the USMCA trade deal between Vermont’s two senators. Bernie Sanders, running for president, doesn’t like incumbent Donald Trump’s trade deal that reworks the NAFTA agreement. Leahy says it’s good for Vermont jobs. Sanders says it’s bad for climate change.

When you’re a front runner for this job, everyone takes a shot at you - even the President of the United States.

Robocallers beware – there’s a federal law against misuse of them. It’s passage was led on the floor by Rep. Peter Welch (D-VT) and signed recently by Pres. Donald Trump. But – what about political campaigns?

Would-be President Bernie Sanders (D-VT) is criticizing Pres. Donald Trump for ordering the drone strike that killed an Iranian general in Baghdad, Iraq. His tweet contains no comment on how, if he were president, Bernie would have handled the situation.

The price of milk has been rising steadily since last January and is expected to rise higher in 2020. Exports also have been strong in spite of the Trump trade tariffs.

Thanks to Rich Nadworny of Burlington for tweeting this interactive map of the 50 states and the rise and fall of their approval ratings of President Trump since the 2016 election.

In deep blue, Bernie Sanders’ Vermont, Trump supporters are speaking their mind – even when their signs are defaced.
