What, like it's hard?

I’m in Washington ready to work on a bipartisan path to lower health care costs & keep the govt open. We’re hours from a shutdown & Republicans didn’t show up. We must protect coverage & tackle rising insurance costs before it’s too late.

Trump & Republicans want to strip health care from those who need it most, including by ending ACA tax credits that keep coverage affordable for families. And if they don’t get their way, they’re threatening a shutdown. There are just 2 days left to end this chaos & work with us on a path forward.

ICYMI: The Senate passed my bipartisan Support for Patients and Communities bill, now it heads to the President’s desk. This fight is personal. This bill expands naloxone access, supports women in treatment, strengthens the recovery workforce & funds recovery centers. https://bit.ly/4mxhTn1

Housing is already one of the biggest pain points for Colorado families—and Trump’s attacks on immigrant communities make it worse. Deporting workers & spreading fear destabilizes construction. His anti-immigrant agenda is immoral, anti-business & bad for our economy. https://bit.ly/4pFCtob

What happened in Evergreen was beyond heartbreaking. That’s why I led my CO colleagues on a bipartisan resolution honoring victims & first responders. But we owe them more — we need action to end gun violence.

@POTUS 🤧

Trump’s nonsense $100,000 fee on H-1B visas will price out talent and weaken America’s economy. Immigrants drive our innovation and economic growth. We should be welcoming them - not shutting the door.

Republicans are taking food off the plates of seniors, veterans & kids. I’m backing the Restoring Food Security Act to repeal Trump’s SNAP cuts. We can’t let families go hungry while billionaires get more handouts. https://bit.ly/3VpWX6x

No family should have to choose between food & health care. Enhanced Premium Tax Credits help thousands of Coloradans afford coverage, but if they expire, too many will lose care. We need a permanent fix—Republicans must work with us to protect families.

Trump said he would cut “fraud, waste, and abuse” within our government, but instead, he’s helping his billionaire allies cheat our tax system. The IRS is not Trump’s political arm. The fraud, waste, and abuse is coming from inside the White House. https://nyti.ms/4gUa3mx

From rising food prices to cuts to Medicaid, SNAP & HUD, @cityofbroomfield & @broomfieldcoc tackle these challenges daily. Grateful for their work supporting families. I’ll always fight for their priorities, even as Trump tries to dismantle vital programs.

Trump is throwing our service members under the bus all to fuel his revenge tour against anyone who disagrees with him. We love our mail-in voting system here in Colorado. Let me be clear: we don’t bend the knee to Trump. That’s not who we are or what we do in Colorado. https://bit.ly/46UVoTx

Coloradans are being squeezed by rising costs from Trump’s disastrous policies, and this bill fails to meet families’ needs. Now, with Trump’s Big Ugly Bill looming, Republicans’ chaos once again threatens a shutdown. I’m deeply disappointed.

My full statement on Republicans’ cynical ploy to divide the country around the rise in political violence and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. ⬇️

Our state stands to lose $500M from Trump’s tariff tirade. Big corporations may weather it, but small businesses will pay the price. We just need a handful of Republicans to join us in signing our discharge petition to force a vote & hold him accountable. https://bit.ly/482NeL1

My mom struggled with opioid addiction that led to heroin & fentanyl. She’s one of the lucky ones who got care to rebuild her life. Too many families aren’t as fortunate. That’s why I introduced bipartisan legislation creating Fentanyl Prevention & Awareness Day. https://bit.ly/3KaLSng

Stopping & arresting people based on how they look isn’t safety — it’s racist, plain & simple. SCOTUS green-lighting Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda is despicable. I’m joining colleagues in demanding answers from Secretary Noem.

Trump & Republicans are learning what we already knew—the Big Ugly Bill is bad for Americans & deeply unpopular. Rebranding won’t change that. Trump might be a conman, but he can’t con his way out of the pain & suffering families will face.

Naloxone saves lives & knowing how to use it can mean everything. My mom wouldn't be alive today without this overdose reversal drug. Grateful to join the Bipartisan Mental Health & Substance Use Disorder Task Force’s Naloxone Training to help equip staff to reverse an overdose.

An 80-year-old was conned out of $6,700 on a dating app. This type of fraud is shameful & preventable. That’s why I introduced legislation to hold platforms accountable & require safeguards. No one should lose their savings because companies refuse to act.

We’ve seen a reduction in overdose deaths in CO including a 35% drop in fentanyl deaths last year. But Trump’s OBBB threatens that progress. I’m working on a bill to ensure CO & 37 other states can keep using Medicaid to cover substance use treatment—it’s medical care." https://dpo.st/4mjGSKq

Not having a reliable supply of diapers impacts kids’ health & parents’ ability to work—yet 1 in 2 families struggle to pay. I passed CO’s 1st state funding for diaper banks & now we’re taking it nationwide. Honored to join @diapernetwork.bsky.social ahead of #DiaperNeedAwarenessWeek

Today we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and how our nation was forever changed. We honor the nearly 3,000 victims & first responders who showed unimaginable courage, and carry forward the lessons of unity, compassion & community that reflect the American spirit.

It's becoming too common for people to be violently targeted because of who they are or what they believe. Let me clear - ANY political violence is completely unacceptable. We have to unequivocally denounce it & put a stop to it immediately.

Shocked & heartbroken to see there is an ongoing incident involving an active assailant at Evergreen High School. I'm hopeful law enforcement is able to intervene & ensure all kids come home safe. We are in communication with local law officials & will be there to support the Evergreen community.

"Thoughts & prayers won’t end gun violence. As a mom, I can’t fathom the heartbreak of parents who’ll never see their kids again. I’m demanding @SpeakerJohnson act so our kids can grow up safe in schools, theaters & public spaces.

House Republicans just passed one of the most anti-environmental bills in U.S. history. From cutting the EV tax credit to gutting disaster relief & slashing jobs, it threatens our health, economy & Colorado families. These 69 provisions are devastating.

As a mom, I’m always thinking about the future of our country & democracy. Trump threatens our freedoms—attacking voting, institutions & the press. But people like those in @lwvus.bsky.social give me hope. Thank you for inviting me to speak—keep showing up & speaking out.

Today is the second annual 988 Suicide & Crisis Hotline Day -- a reminder that help is always just a call or message away. If you or someone you love is struggling, please call or text 988 anytime. Just know - you are never alone. And you never have to face a mental health crisis by yourself.

Let's set the record straight — vaccines did not kill more Americans than COVID-19. And no, Anti-depressants do not cause gun violence. This anti-science agenda is downright dangerous.

I hear every day from families in CO & across the country that rising housing costs are their #1 concern. Thank you @gomez.house.gov for inviting me to the National Housing Summit. I’ll keep fighting on YIMBY & Real Estate Caucus to lower costs & deliver solutions.

Colorado families are paying the price for Trump’s reckless tariffs. One homeowner paid $1,400–$2,800 more on a $9,400 water heater due to rising import costs. Tariffs are a hidden tax on working families. Have you felt the impact? Share your story on my website. https://bit.ly/4mRBNdz

An error by Social Security caused Anette Falvo of Golden weeks of stress and a $31,000 loss from her late mother’s account. My office in Lakewood helped recover the funds, easing her burden. Every day we help Coloradans cut through red tape and get the benefits they deserve.

While Trump’s harmful policies threaten working families, the team at Foothills Housing Authority shows up every day to expand affordable housing. I was honored to recognize their work in the Congressional Record—a small way to honor the life-changing impact they have on our community.

When veteran Raul Fernandez faced an urgent challenge with the @VA, my casework team stepped in to help bring relief to him and his family. My office is here to make sure government works for you—if you need help, call 303.274.7944.

Community Table has been on the frontlines providing emergency food assistance & now they’re expanding as Trump’s Big Ugly Bill threatens communities. With demand rising & SNAP cuts looming, I’ll keep fighting to ensure families never have to worry about kids going hungry.

There’s a lot of bad news out there, but Habitat for Humanity’s Griffith Station Homes is a bright light. When local leaders, federal programs & nonprofits work together, we can expand housing & make homeownership possible. Thanks to Habitat for Humanity for changing lives.

Exciting news!🥳 My office has already returned $5 million in federal benefits back to families and businesses in CO-07. Our government should always work for you – not the other way around. If you or someone you know is having trouble with a federal agency, reach out to my office!

Like so many families, mine has been impacted by the opioid epidemic. My mom just celebrated 8 years in recovery—alive today because of first responders who used overdose-reversal drugs. I’m proud to join @repjenkiggans.bsky.social in introducing the HANDS Act to expand access.

@BroomfieldFish is the only food bank & resource center in Broomfield keeping families fed & supported. They’re worried about Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, but their staff & volunteers reminded me of their resiliency—I know they’ll do whatever it takes to support families.

Grateful to join the Colorado Business Roundtable to discuss challenges facing CO businesses—from Trump’s reckless tariffs to immigration policies straining our workforce. I’ll keep fighting his disastrous agenda & support policies that help families, small businesses & our economy thrive.

Annie Farmer. Anouska De Georgiou. Jess Michaels. These are a few of the survivors here in DC telling their stories after enduring unimaginable abuse at the hands of Epstein. Trump wants to silence them. We won't let them be erased. We only need a few Republicans to join us & do the right thing.

School is back in session across Colorado, including at CO School of Mines! I met with faculty & leadership about funding cuts & unlawful withholding of research funds. Mines is building the next generation of innovators, we can’t let these cuts jeopardize our future.

Trump said he wouldn’t cut Medicaid. That was a lie. Now he’s coming for Medicare, forcing seniors to skip prescriptions, closing rural hospitals, & straining nursing homes, all so he can hand out more tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy. https://bit.ly/4lRbEtX

So grateful to meet with Resilience1220 & hear about the lifesaving support they provide Evergreen youth. Thanks to CO legislation we’ve expanded mental health care, but Trump’s cuts put progress at risk. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone, call 988.

Happy Labor Day! Today we honor the workers who keep our country running. Fair wages & safe workplaces aren’t guaranteed, but CO workers are resilient. As I return to DC, I’ll bring their voices & fight for their rights after the passage of the OBBB.

Trump’s Big Ugly Law slashes Medicaid, SNAP & more—hurting CO families. But places like EChO give me hope. From food & housing to mental health support, they’re a lifeline. Demand is rising, but their work proves community power—we’ll weather this storm together.

Being out in the district hearing about the challenges ahead is heavy, but leaders at @ActionCenter give me hope. Their plan to turn a closed school into a one-stop hub for food, clothing & health care shows what’s possible when community steps up.

62 years ago, Americans marched on Washington demanding liberty & justice for all. Their footsteps changed history, but the march never ended. With Trump threatening to erase progress, we owe it to the next generation to keep marching until freedom & equality are real for all.
