Our public lands belong to all of us. But Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans want to open them up to dangerous drilling. On Public Lands Day, I’m fighting to protect Colorado’s precious lands and preserve our nation’s ecological & cultural heritage.

Donald Trump can’t even spell hepatitis right, why would you take medical advice from him? Please consult your doctor who actually knows what they’re talking about.

The charges against James Comey are a gross weaponization of the judicial system. Donald Trump is a wannabe dictator, using the Justice Department to go after his enemies in a clear step that is only seen in authoritarian regimes. Every American should be outraged by Trump’s abuse of power.

RFK Jr., with zero medical credentials, wants to control women’s health, again.   Mifepristone is FDA-approved, has been safely taken for 25 years, and used in nearly 2/3 of U.S. abortions.   This is dangerous and absurd.

You know Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. went too far when J.D. Vance and Dr. Oz are on clean up duty for the administration. The fact of the matter is that Americans should listen to doctors, not Trump or RFK Jr., when it comes to medical decisions.

Honored to receive @acscan.bsky.social’s National Distinguished Advocacy Award.  I will always fight for policies that support cancer patients, survivors, and their families, and continue to work alongside advocates leading the fight for a cancer-free future.

🚨 House Republicans want to rip away your health care to appease Trump. 🚨 Their cuts in the Big Bad Bill mean over 29K Denverites will lose Medicaid coverage & 22K more will see their costs skyrocket if they let ACA premium assistance expire. I won’t let your health care take a backseat to Trump.

From day one, I’ve said Medicaid paperwork requirements don’t save money or make people healthier—and a watchdog just confirmed it. Yet Trump & his GOP allies jammed them into the Big Bad Bill, wasting taxpayer dollars & kicking people off their health care. We need real solutions. Not failed ideas.

RFK Jr. and Donald Trump have found neither a cause of autism nor a clearly effective treatment. According to doctors and the best available science, Tylenol is safe and effective for use in pregnancy and helps avert greater risks from fever and pain. (1/2)

Great to visit students and Principal Goss this morning at South High School. Go Ravens!

Shana Tova to everyone in Denver celebrating Rosh Hashanah. May the new year bring you peace and joy.

My full statement on H.Res. 719.

House Republicans are missing the forest for the trees. Their partisan funding bill fails to extend ACA subsidies & locks in devastating Medicaid cuts. In Colorado, 240,000 will likely lose coverage & Denver families face $210 a month premium hikes. That’s the real impact of the Big Bad Bill.

Donald Trump and his administration are exploiting the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk to silence and censor anyone they want. ABC pulling Jimmy Kimmel off the air is capitulation to the Trump admin and a threat to our First Amendment rights.

Everyone deserves access to a hospital when they need it. However, the Big Bad Bill puts safety net hospitals—and their patients—at risk. That's why I’m leading a letter urging House leaders to halt devastating Medicaid DSH cuts that would saddle hospitals with $443 billion in uncompensated care.

The American people are watching the crown jewel of America’s biomedical & cancer research be dismantled under RFK Jr.’s reckless leadership at HHS. As the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I won’t stand idly by—I’ll call this out every hearing, every time. We must act before it’s too late.

In case 15 million people losing coverage under the Big Bad Bill wasn’t enough, the CBO now says 1.5 million more Americans will go uninsured if Congress delays extending the ACA tax credits. It’s time to stop gambling with people’s lives. Congress must extend the ACA tax credits NOW.

Just signed on to the Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act to repeal the Big Ugly Bill’s cruel Medicaid cuts and extend ACA tax credits that keep premiums affordable. With open enrollment starting Nov. 1, Congress must act now—or millions will lose coverage or face skyrocketing costs.

I would vote for a budget that reverses the Big Bad Bill's Medicaid cuts and extends ACA tax credits and other health care programs that address diabetes prevention and maternal mortality. The GOP CR fails to do any of that. (1/2)

Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are gutting cancer research while ceding America’s global health leadership & putting lives at risk. I will always stand up for American biomedical research. That’s why I'm demanding that we conduct vigorous oversight to keep politics out of our public health.

Proud of these young Coloradans standing up against gun violence and showing that they refuse to accept the cycle of school shootings that has plagued our nation.

🚨Trump is destroying our nation's cancer research system🚨 Not only has it saved millions of lives, but it's on the verge of some of the biggest breakthroughs yet. We can’t let politics derail critical progress—Congress must act to keep America leading the world in research & saving lives.

I signed the discharge petition to release the Epstein files along with every Democrat and 4 Republicans in the House. We only need one more signature to force a vote and provide transparency to the American people.

It’s never acceptable to kill someone for their political beliefs. But the Trump Admin exploiting the shooting of Charlie Kirk to follow their authoritarian instincts & crack down on the left is incredibly disturbing. We must end any form of political violence —& reject those who try to exploit it.

Today marks the start of Hispanic Heritage Month.   This month, and every month, we honor the rich history, immense contributions, and unique diversity of Hispanic and Latino communities in Denver and across the country.

Ending the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program is yet another reckless and short-sighted move from the Trump Admin. Without transparency, polluters will continue putting Americans’ lives at risk & undermining our fight against climate change. Our health—and the planet’s future—are on the line.

If Republicans fail to extend ACA tax credits, Denverites who get their insurance on the marketplace will see their premiums rise between 161%-179%. I am fighting to get these tax credits extended to keep health care costs down.

Donald Trump's ‘drill baby drill’ agenda is once again putting Colorado’s cherished public lands at risk. By rescinding the Public Lands Rule, Trump is threatening the very landscapes that make our state special—and undermining years of progress—all to line the pockets of Big Oil and Gas.

Dr. Monarez’s firing as CDC Director is RFK Jr.’s latest failure as HHS Secretary. Today, I joined my senior Democratic Energy and Commerce colleagues in demanding answers from the Secretary as to what led to her abrupt firing after less than one month on the job.

September 11, 2001 is a day we will never forget. Today, we honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the heroism of first responders, service members, and civilians who rose to serve in the aftermath.

I'm heartbroken to hear at least two students were shot at Evergreen High School. It is unacceptable that this violence continues in schools across our country. This tragic cycle must end because every student deserves to feel safe and secure at school.

Political violence is never the answer and needs to be condemned whenever and wherever it occurs. Whoever shot Charlie Kirk must be held accountable.

The Litigation Task Force is leading in this critical moment, coordinating with AGs & legal partners nationwide to hold Donald Trump accountable & support ongoing legal efforts across the country. I am glad to be a part of this team as we help drive a unified legal strategy to defend democracy.

RFK Jr. was not under oath last week when he accused Dr. Monarez of lying as to why she was fired from the CDC. It's time for my GOP colleagues to stop covering for Kennedy. HHS leadership & Dr. Monarez must come before E&C so we can provide the American people with what they deserve: the truth.

Even Trump’s own former Surgeon General says RFK Jr. is “endangering America at large” with his anti-vaccine crusade. If both parties agree he’s a threat to public health, there’s only one option left: RFK Jr. must go.

As a lifelong Broncos fan, it is incredible news that the team is staying in Denver. I remember going to Broncos games with my dad when I was a kid, and with today’s announcement, I can look forward to taking my grandkids to games and showing them what it means to be a Broncos fan.

Under the Big Bad Bill, Coloradans are stuck paying more & getting less: ❌ $310 higher energy bills by 2035 ❌ 9,600 jobs lost in 5 years ❌ Billions in clean energy investment on the line Colorado should be leading the way on clean energy—not losing jobs & raising costs because of Donald Trump.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, a reminder of the ongoing need in our country to expand resources to address this crisis. I will continue fighting in Congress for high-quality, affordable mental health care that is accessible to all Americans.

The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s radical immigration raids in LA by allowing his admin to continue its racial profiling tactics. This pushes us down a dark path that allows law enforcement officers to target individuals based on race, ethnicity, & language, regardless of immigration status.

GO BRONCOS!

Honored to join the Opening Ceremony of the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival today! 🐉 Since 2001, this proud Denver tradition at Sloan’s Lake has been a colorful celebration of our city’s AANHPI culture and community.

Dr. Susan Monarez was fired as CDC Director by Secretary Kennedy for refusing to rubber-stamp his anti-vax agenda. The CDC must be guided by science, not politics. That's why I sent a letter demanding GOP leaders on E&C bring RFK Jr. & HHS officials before our committee to answer for this now.

RFK Jr. lied under oath about rolling back vaccines. That alone should disqualify him from public service. Even Republicans are calling him out on this. He has to go.

I'm glad my grandkids don't live in Florida. This decision is unbelievable and dangerous.

RFK Jr.’s reckless, anti-science policies are needlessly causing Americans to suffer. He ousted CDC Director Dr. Monarez for rejecting his evidence-free vaccine policies, purged respected scientists, & gutted research. We cannot allow this to stand. It's time for RFK Jr. to go.

Trump is doing everything he can to hide the truth about Epstein—and GOP leadership is letting him. That's why I just signed the bipartisan discharge petition to release the entirety of the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice. The American people deserve the truth.

Happy Labor Day! Workers are the backbone of Colorado and our country. Today, I am proud to honor their contributions to our community and recommit to protecting workers.

August is National Immunization Month. As students across Denver head back to school, now is a great time to get your kids caught up on their vaccines – to keep you, your family, and our community healthy.

In just 31 weeks, over 300 lawsuits have been filed against Trump’s illegal agenda. As a member of the Litigation Task Force, I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues, citizens, and the legal community as we vigorously challenge Trump’s lawlessness in the face of unprecedented intimidation.

RFK Jr. promised not to restrict access to COVID vaccines. Yesterday, he proved he was lying. By rolling back access to COVID vaccines, Secretary Kennedy is putting up barriers between Americans and the care they need.
