The Insurrection Act was never meant to be a tool for presidential intimidation and unchecked power. This move by Trump is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. Our military exists to defend us, not to turn on its own citizens and target immigrant communities.

My heart breaks for the Jewish community who have been targeted yet again. The surge in antisemitic attacks demands total condemnation from everyone. My thoughts are with the congregation and everyone affected by the arson attack in Mississippi and around the world. This must stop.

We've seen a rise in political violence & Trump continues to fan the flames. He accused Governor Walz of assassinating MN lawmaker Melissa Hortman & her husband. Not only is this outrageous & false, but accusations like this are dangerous. Trump is unwell & unhinged. https://wapo.st/3Z3tj8H

Trump's reckless tariffs are driving up costs for Colorado families. That's why affordable housing and child care are my top priorities heading into 2026 so every Coloradan has a fair shot to get ahead. I'll keep standing up & fighting back for working families in Colorado. https://bit.ly/4pzJDsR

Trump doesn't care about US laws, court orders, or international laws. We have a madman as president. Congress must come together to hold him accountable and rein in his abuse of power.

Today, we unfortunately did not gain enough Republican support to override Trump's veto of a bipartisan bill to deliver clean water to 50,000 residents in rural Colorado.  Trump's veto is the continuation of his retribution campaign against Colorado, and families in our state will pay the price.

Pulling the US out of almost every UN & international organization is reckless & dangerous. These institutions & alliances have been built to bring lasting peace and stability. It's hard to sleep at night thinking about the future our kids will be left with & knowing we have a madman as President.

My heart breaks for the family and loved ones of the woman killed in Minnesota today. Trump has been sending ICE into our communities, terrorizing immigrants and ripping families apart. There has been zero evidence to justify this killing. Kristi Noem has blood on her hands.

I don't know how many times we have to repeat it: vaccines are safe & effective. They save lives. Colorado is facing a record flu season & low vaccination rates of only 27.5%. RFK Jr is going to cost us lives, make no mistake. https://bit.ly/4ssFLfN

We're hearing deeply concerning reports Trump may illegally withhold child care funding from Colorado families. This would be the latest act of political retaliation against our state. I'm outraged that families already struggling with high costs could suddenly lose the child care they rely on.

Today marks five years since the violent attack on the US Capitol — one of the darkest days in our nation's history. Our democracy was tested and persevered. It will continue to take all of us fighting to preserve the rule of law, our constitution, and the promise of our country.

While Maduro is an illegitimate and brutal leader, Trump absolutely should not be dragging us into a war with Venezuela. We need immediate answers from this administration. The American people deserve transparency.

Housing is the #1 pain point for families in CO. Addressing this crisis means breaking down barriers that keep more affordable homes from being built. I’ll keep fighting for investments like these so every family has a fair shot at accessible, affordable housing. https://bit.ly/4skoOnE

It’s been a rough year & I think most of us are looking forward to turning the page, but there were also so many moments that gave me hope - welcoming Sam to our family, having some successes fighting Trump in Congress, & visiting communities across the district. Here’s to a much better year ahead.

As we head into 2026, make sure to sign up for my newsletter to stay in touch about the year ahead. The onslaught of the disastrous Trump presidency has been overwhelming, but one of the most important things we can do is stay informed. https://bit.ly/4siSJga

Proud to celebrate this year's Congressional App Challenge winners! I was floored by the talent, creativity, and innovation that these students brought. Investing in our children, their ideas, and the ways they can change the world is a step we can all take towards creating a brighter future.

Wishing everyone celebrating Kwanzaa a joyful and meaningful week of reflection, unity, and purpose. May this season bring strength, community, and hope for the year ahead.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas! As we celebrate this season, I’m wishing families across Colorado moments of joy, kindness, and meaningful time together. After such a difficult year, we’ve seen how much standing up and working together can make a difference.

Child care is already so hard to come by but it’s even worse in our rural communities. That’s why I fought for $1 million in federal funding for a new child care facility in Cripple Creek. I’m so proud to have delivered an important investment for the community & their kids. https://bit.ly/4pXZqlC

As a mom, I know how important it is to fight for the future our kids deserve. In Congress, I've delivered funding for child care facilities, worked to protect health care access, & fought to expand access to affordable housing. I'll keep working to build a better future for the next generation.

I’ve been fighting back against the lawlessness of this administration, this year alone, I've helped introduce bills, pressed the administration, joined lawsuits, & signed petitions to fight back against his harmful policies. I'll keep standing up for Colorado families.

Today, we celebrate US Space Force’s birthday and give our appreciation to the service members working every day to keep our nation safe in space and beyond. I’m grateful to every Coloradan working hard at Peterson Space Force Base to keep our country safe & at the forefront of innovation 🚀

Jefferson County has set up a help line to answer questions about the ongoing power outages. If you have any questions or need help, you can call (303) 271-8911

This week, my team wrapped up our final mobile office hours of 2025. We’re out in the community all year helping constituents navigate issues with federal agencies. It’s my job to make sure government works for you. https://bit.ly/3YAJLgr

Another insane rant by POTUS with very real consequences. No, we should absolutely not being going to war with Venezuela

Happy Hanukkah to those in Colorado & across the country. It's been an especially challenging year for the Jewish community, but I hope this celebration of light brings you hope, time with family & loved ones, & a bright holiday season.

The American people are begging their leaders to have the courage to stand up right now. When a president calls for executing elected officials, we must all speak out to defend our country and our freedoms. Read my full statement here:

After their post office closed with just 9 days notice, Poncha Springs residents have been forced to drive dozens of miles just to get their mail. The Senators & I are pushing USPS for immediate solutions for Poncha Springs residents. https://bit.ly/48I3T4S

Just unbelievable, the amount of damage this administration is going to cause in such a short amount of time. RFK Jr & his hand-picked panel of anti-vaxxers are going to undo decades of progress. Vaccines are safe & save lives. Every parent should be terrified — I know I am.

As a mom, I know how hard it is to balance work, family, and the cost of child care. Too many parents are being forced to choose between their careers and caring for their kids. That's why I'm proud to help launch the DWCs Caregiving Task Force. https://bit.ly/48ljQiG

So great to welcome my friend & Arvada Mayor, Lauren Simpson! Love to see my friends and leaders from Colorado here in DC. ❤️

Small businesses across Colorado are being crushed by Trump's reckless trade war, pushing small businesses to raise prices, cut staff, or close their doors altogether. I'm proud to support a bill that makes sure that our small businesses aren't bearing the brunt of these disastrous policies.

RFK Jr. — the notorious anti-vaxx, conspiracy theorist with zero background in health care — is having his hand-picked panel decide the future of our kids' health & safety. You truly can't make this stuff up. Please listen to doctors, not anti-science extremists.

Traveling with your kids is already stressful enough without having to worry about TSA tossing your baby's formula or breast milk. That's why I'm so proud my bipartisan BABES Act with Rep. Swalwell & Sen. Duckworth was just signed into law!

I know this year hasn't always felt hopeful. But when I think back on the people I've met across the 7th District, I'm reminded of the good we're capable of when we come together. You give me hope that we can build the future our kids deserve. Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.

I join the nation in heartbreak after learning two National Guardsmen were shot in DC today. Violent acts targeting our brave military have no place in America. I'm grateful for the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly to save lives & deeply sorry for the family of the two service members.

Three years ago, our LGBTQ+ community was targeted and five innocent lives were taken at Club Q in Colorado Springs. We’ll never forget them & we’ll keep fighting for a Colorado where every LGBTQ+ person can live openly & without fear. My heart is with the survivors, families, & community today.

Trump continues to deflect & distract from the damning evidence connecting him to Epstein & victims. That's why he has gone to unprecedented lengths to ensure the files aren't released. Release ALL the files. The victims deserve justice & accountability, & the American people deserve the truth.

Read my full statement on this non-deal that fails to address the Republicans’ health care crisis.

Despite Speake Johnson's attempts to obscure the truth and protect the child predators in the Epstein files, Rep Grijalva is finally sworn in after 50 days of waiting. We are one step closer to releasing the files and bringing justice for the victims and accountability for the perpetrators.

@POTUS you can’t lie your way out of the pain and suffering your policies are causing. And this is just the beginning. The health care crisis is beginning now and the rest hits after the midterms. All to give billionaires more tax breaks. We will never forget.

I think we all need something to celebrate today. This is a big win for the progress we've made for our LGBTQ community.

Millions of Americans’ healthcare is hanging in the balance because Republicans refuse to lower the costs. We have now reached the longest government shutdown in history & it's time to work together to reopen & address the health care crisis. It's literally life or death for far too many Coloradans.

Trump’s attacks on legal immigration are hurting Colorado’s economy. 60% of ski resorts rely on workers with J-1 visas, & many are now scrambling as they are unable to fill the positions needed. When we shut immigrants out, we hurt our local businesses, our tourism industry, and our economy.

You give me hope ❤️

On Election Day, we’re reminded that our democracy depends on participation. Every voice matters, and every ballot counts. Let’s get out and vote, Colorado! However you engage today, thank you for making your voice heard & participating in our democracy.

At 25, Josh was diagnosed with leukemia. After surviving cancer, the ACA became his only path to affordable care. Losing these subsidies could put his health at risk. Stories like Josh’s show why we must protect the ACA because every policy has a story and a name behind it.

Across Colorado, people are sharing how ACA tax credits make health care possible. After being laid off at 62, Mike faced losing coverage before retirement. Thanks to ACA tax credits, he stayed insured. These subsidies are a lifeline for thousands of Coloradans.

What’s really scary is that health care premiums are about to double and Republicans don’t even care.
