Rep. Becca Balint, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing Vermont's at-large district, has shared a series of tweets addressing political issues and personal reflections. Balint succeeded Peter Welch in 2023 and has previously served in the Vermont Senate from 2017 to 2021.

On March 5, 2025, Rep. Balint criticized the Speaker of the House for allegedly instructing Republicans to avoid town halls due to potential backlash. She stated: "The Speaker of the House is instructing Republicans to stop holding town halls because they can't take the heat. It truly reveals the level of contempt they have for the needs of regular people. Shameful."

Later that day, on March 5, she posted a brief tweet expressing disapproval with a simple: "no"

On March 6, Rep. Balint paid tribute to an individual named Rosa, praising her advocacy for working people and her influence as a legislator: "Rosa is an icon, a legend, a fierce advocate for working people every single day. Her presence alone makes us all more brave, more courageous, better legislators."
