A black and white yard sign featuring a simple yet arguably menacing eagle and the cryptic legend Deploy Malloy.
Working on an article about lawn signs and candidate logos - who in Vermont politics (past or present) has the best/worst lawn signs?
If you’re out shopping for Black Friday deals today, remember: it’s a time of great stress and pressure for workers who don’t get to spend the day with their family and friends, and often work long shifts.
Be kind, and take a moment to thank a retail worker.
We have our first candidate to succeed Doug Hoffer and I guarantee it's not who you were expecting: sugaringoff.org/2025/11/25/c...
And they're off! The '26 LG race is underway as Molly Gray throws her hat in the ring. Read more about her announcement and the other potential candidates: sugaringoff.org/2025/11/19/m...
After much consideration, I’m running for High Bailiff of Windsor County — not out of political ambition, but because this office matters. It’s a constitutional safeguard that ensures accountability and continuity in all forms of government. 1/4

October 2024: Phil Scott endorses Sam Douglass for state Senate.
October 2025: Phil Scott calls on Sam Douglass to resign from the Senate.
How it started vs. how it's going:

Phil Scott may be the country's most popular governor, but he's not invincible. It's time for Democrats to give him a real race. All we need is a credible candidate to step up. sugaringoff.org/2025/08/04/w...
After a decade of rollbacks by SCOTUS MAGA justices, passing the John Lewis VRAA is key to restore bedrock voting protections.
@warnock.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov & @blumenthal.senate.gov are reintroducing this bill 👇
The Republicans' Interior Appropriations Bill eliminates environmental protections to give handouts to billionaires.
WATCH @delauro.house.gov expose their reckless cuts that will drive up costs for families, enable corporate polluters, and harm our National Parks. 👇
The GOP passed their Big Ugly Bill, which raises costs and cuts programs millions rely on to fund massive billionaire giveaways.
We stand with Leader @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @housedemocrats.bsky.social in pressing on to defend working families and our climate.
We will never stop fighting.
"It takes food off kitchen tables, throws clean energy workers out of jobs, spikes utility bills, and why? So billionaires and oil companies can cash in. Big Oil gets handouts, working families get scraps."

The House must #VoteNo.
I broke down how Vermont's "Education Transformation Bill" became law and serve up some takes in my latest piece in Sugaring Off: sugaringoff.org/2025/06/20/i...
Kornheiser now working through the tax provisions.
Hearing from my sources in the gallery that at least one member is currently asleep...
Rep. Conlon (reporting for the conference committee) is going section by section, this may take a while.
I think so, it cleared the Senate with a couple of votes to spare.
Bill passed the Senate 17-12 and is now being debated in the House.
If the bill clears the Senate, I don't think it will have much difficulty in the House as long as Minority Leader Pattie McCoy can keep her caucus in line for the governor. #vtpoli
If my math is right, the Senate has the votes to pass H.454. We'll know for sure when they come back from lunch (currently thinking around 2-2:30), but the geographic/ideological coalitions could be goofy. #vtpoli
An owl sits on Senator Whitehouse's shoulder and looks into the camera.
An owl sits between a person's feet.
Injured owlet giving me a skeptical look… before deciding maybe I wasn’t so bad.
“We cannot roll back the clock to a former era where America became economically paralyzed due to oil embargoes and dirty manufacturing.”
Thank you @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social for standing up to Trump and Congressional Republicans’ attacks on clean energy 👇
Krowinski says that conferees will continue to work with the goal of passing the Ed bill during the scheduled veto session in June. Token sessions will be held daily until then to allow the conferees to work without the whole leg having to be there.
House is back, Krowinski in the chair.
Vermont Senate just adjourned until tomorrow, Baruth asking conferees to meet tomorrow at 9:00 AM. "We don't have language, and we don't yet have a finished deal, although things are close." #vtpoli
“I’m really concerned that one of the first things you did was make deep painful cuts at our parks and start talking about our public lands like they’re a piggy bank.”
WATCH @pattymurray.bsky.social call out Secretary Burgum’s reckless cuts and make it clear: Our public lands are not for sale. 👇
