[Andy Beshear @AndyBeshearKY]

Health care is a basic human right. If Congress makes cuts to Medicaid, rural hospitals will close, jobs will be lost and our families will be forced to drive hours for a regular appointment. That ain’t right and you deserve better.

[NGA @NatlGovsAssoc]

Hawaii @GovJoshGreenMD and Vermont @GovPhilScott, co-chairs of the NGA Public Health and Disaster Response Task Force, wrote an op-ed published in @Newsweek urging Congress to make comprehensive disaster funding a top priority. https://t.co/OlZDFd1B9l

[VTDigger @vtdigger]

Washington County tied for second most disaster-prone county in the United States. https://t.co/ZfCqnXkHzf

This is the most important video on the internet right now.

Best 90 seconds you will spend all day is watching this MSNBC clip.

Seriously.

@DanPSmith Yesterday 😂

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Ok #vt, who got their snow tires off last week? #jinx

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Hot takes from #townmeetingday2024 in #VT?

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Some observations on the opportunity gap in Vermont and an upcoming event co-hosted by @VermontCF, @VSAC, the Tarrant Foundation, @CCV_VT @uvm, the J Warren and Lois McClure Foundation and the Curtis Fund this April. #vt https://t.co/4oMOWSKb1W

[McClure Foundation @McClureVtFdn]

A youth-initiated mentorship program at Randolph Union High School aims to close the gap on college persistence for #vted students from low-income families, students with disabilities, and English language learners. Read insights from the launch year: https://t.co/Av3aEiE1aD

[Let's Grow Kids @LetsGrowKids]

When we invest in child care, everyone wins: parents, business owners, early childhood educators, and our kids.

Let's work together to deliver on the promise of Act 76 this year.

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Great commentary today in the @washingtonpost on #communityfoundations & the impact organizations like @VermontCF achieve across the country. #placematters #noshortcuts #vt https://t.co/LGo6zc2cde

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Interesting to see this in #ak and wonder how Vermont general might play out for say, lite guv. #vt

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Thank you, @voxcustodes & @OneNorthAvenue. It has been a long few years for everyone. #btv

[Jon Murad @voxcustodes]

@DavidBeckettVT @OneNorthAvenue I hate hearing neighbors say we don't care. We do. We *want* to hear about these incidents. Please report them via 911 if they're in progress. But at this moment there are four officers covering the whole city, operating under a Priority Response Plan... 1/2

[McClure Foundation @McClureVtFdn]

This is important data on declining postsecondary aspirations from @VSAC. Related: @GeorgetownCEW's latest report notes #VT as 1 of 4 states (+ DC) with the highest % of jobs in 2031 that will require a bachelor's degree. It's time to make postsecondary education the easy choice.

[Vermont Public @vermontpublic]

Flood watch in effect through Tuesday morning in Vermont

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

If you are looking for a #longread to get you through the holidays, here's one that's worth it. https://t.co/r4dvWf93qF

[Dan Smith @DanPSmith]

Continue to be inspired by the amazing degree to which Vermonters look out for one another. Heading into this holiday season, we are thankful for what's been accomplished already and resolute on the work that remains. This added push for #vtstrong plates is a way to participate.

[Vermont Agency of Commerce & Community Development @ACCDVermont]

A holiday push to help neighbors in need. Vermont is raising another $1M from ‘Vermont Strong’ license plate and sock sales to help with flood recovery. Half of proceeds will help individuals via @VermontCF. The other half goes to BEGAP for businesses.
