Rep. Becca Balint, a U.S. Congress member representing Vermont’s at-large district since 2023, has been vocal on social media regarding various issues. Her recent tweets address transparency, political distractions, and immigration concerns.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. Balint emphasized the importance of transparency in governance by stating, "The American people deserve transparency."

In a subsequent tweet on November 19, 2024, she criticized what she perceives as a diversionary tactic from another politician's shortcomings. She wrote: "We all know this a petty, hateful distraction from the fact that she hasn’t delivered for her constituents. There's no bottom to the cruelty. We have an obligation to push back. When we allow attacks on someone’s basic human dignity, we're all made more cruel."

Later that day, Rep. Balint addressed her constituents in Vermont regarding immigration-related cases handled by her office. She assured them of ongoing efforts to resolve these matters amidst challenging circumstances: "For those in Vermont who have a case open with our office related to immigration, we're working hard to address your case. We know this is an extremely uncertain and distressing time for so many families. We're here to help."
