A complete, coherent sentence without inciting violence. Check. Next step: resign.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

Many thanks to my friends at ACLU of Vermont!

[ACLU of Vermont @ACLUVermont]

Congratulations to @PaulBurnsVT for 20 years of tireless advocacy to make Vermont a better state for all of us to live in!

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

(Except for the vote part.)

[Laurence Tribe 🇺🇦 ⚖️ @tribelaw]

This is something we must look out for as the Trumps and their loyal enablers exit the White House. The mountain of incriminating information that'll fuel civil and criminal lawsuits for a generation must resemble Mt. Everest. Trump will try to burn or shred what he can't steal.

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

@VermontSOS @taylordobbs @joe_emery @WDEVRadio These are the types of unfortunate errors that other states allow to be fixed or "cured" before the election. Something for VT policymakers to consider moving forward.

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

@TrueNorthMikeB I trust we can count on another Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference should any of these nonexistent fraud allegations "come to fruition"?

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

If the goal is to get more people to participate, vote-by-mail certainly worked.

Thank you, Beth Pearce!

[Beth Pearce @TreasurerPearce]

#vtpoli Our economy depends on public trust in elections and the peaceful transfer of power. I stand with my colleagues from across the country. This is the most important election of our lifetime. @vtdems

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

Actually, VPIRG supports Ranked Choice Voting. But until we have it in place, the candidate with the plurality of popular votes should be the winner. Do you disagree, Neal? #vtpoli

[Neal P. Goswami @nealgoswami]

Sounds like @VPIRG is against ranked-choice voting. #vtpoli

“Finishing second in an election does not make you the winner, but that’s not a lesson that every candidate has learned,” said Burns.

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

@nealgoswami @VPIRG Funny. But VPIRG simply believes that UNTIL Vermont adopts a policy to ensure majority winners in elections (as would be the case with a Ranked Choice Voting system), then the candidate with a plurality of votes should be declared the winner.

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

“Finishing second doesn’t make you the winner, but that’s not a lesson that every candidate has learned,” said Paul Burns, Executive Director of VPIRG. https://t.co/b6xmr137o7

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

Don't give the R's the chance to steal this.

[Garrett M. Graff @vermontgmg]

If you haven’t mailed a ballot yet, vote in person—early or on Election Day. Be clear: The GOP will steal this election if they can.

[Paul Burns @PaulBurnsVT]

Why is Milne avoiding an interview with Jane Lindholm??

[Jane Lindholm @JaneLindholm]

@RHolcombeVT @MilneForVT Scott Milne canceled his appearance on @vermontedition on Monday and also declined our options for rescheduling, so I’m not going to have a chance to talk to him before the election.

[vpirgvotes @vpirgvotes]

Second place finishers don’t get to claim victory. But Scott Milne tried to do that 6 years ago when he ran for governor. That is a threat to democracy. #vtpoli

Vote @mollyforvermont Lt. Governor.

It's official! The Global Warming Solutions Act will become law, setting VT on a path to hit our carbon reduction goals (now requirements!).

In a strong rebuttal of @GovPhilScott's efforts to delay climate action, both House and Senate have voted to override his veto. #VTPoli

[Kevin McCallum @KevinMcCallum7d]

Will @GovPhilScott veto the Global Warming Solutions Act? It's looking likely. https://t.co/d9z5qLkUSe
Environmental groups like @VPIRG plan to turn up the heat on him if he does. #vtpoli

[VPIRG @VPIRG]

Our democracy works best when as many people as possible participate in it. Mail-in voting makes greater participation possible. Can't wait to see what turnout in November looks like!

[NYT Climate @nytclimate]

“It’s shocking.” Documents reviewed by the NYT reveal that an industry group for big chemical makers and fossil fuel companies is lobbying to pressure Kenya to reverse its strict limits on plastics. https://t.co/8rwa4dpmWs
