Rep. Becca Balint, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing Vermont’s at-large district since 2023, shared a series of tweets expressing her views on political matters and recent developments concerning labor advocates and legislative actions. Balint, who replaced Peter Welch in Congress, is known for her outspoken advocacy for workers' rights and criticism of current political dynamics.
On January 28, 2025, Rep. Balint addressed the issue of firing pro-worker advocates by stating "When you fire pro-worker advocates, we know where you stand." This tweet reflects her stance on labor rights and support for those advocating for workers.
In a subsequent tweet dated January 29, 2025, she criticized the House GOP's relationship with the president by saying "For a party that talks constantly about power and masculinity, there’s an awful lot of groveling happening by House GOP at the foot of the president. You have given away ALL your leverage and the voices of your constituents. Americans will suffer because of it." Her remarks highlight concerns over perceived concessions made by some members of Congress.
Later that day, Balint reflected on opposition efforts against the Trump Administration's agenda: "Yesterday we gave the Trump Administration a taste of what opposition to his agenda looks like. This is a *temporary* win. Do not let up. We know they will try again to take funds away from working people. Stay ready." She urged continued vigilance against policies she believes could harm working individuals.
