Great news: a federal judge just temporarily blocked Trump’s attempt to freeze funds for childcare and food assistance in Colorado. His effort is illegal, and I will continue to fight his blatant politicization of funds that help the most vulnerable families in our state. tinyurl.com/ms489rkf

I had the honor of serving in Congress with @GabbyGiffords for 5 years before she was shot and almost killed 15 years ago today. Her spirit was unbreakable then, and it remains so now through @giffords_org. I am proud to call Gabby my friend and to stand with her in the fight against gun violence.

This health care affordability crisis did not appear overnight. Democrats sounded the alarm for a year. Donald Trump and Republicans responded by passing their Big Bad Bill to kick 15 million people off their health care— all to fund billionaires’ tax breaks. Remember who they chose.

Congressman Steny Hoyer epitomizes what public service is about - a willingness to do anything to make the lives of the American people better. He has been a mentor & ally for my entire career as he helped lead our caucus through challenging moments, intense debates, & legislative victories.

Donald Trump’s attempt to freeze funding for vulnerable kids in Colorado is illegal, and I’ll be working with AG Phil Weiser to stop it. We must fight Trump’s unlawful actions in the courts, because Republicans in Congress have shown they are unwilling to stand up to him in Washington.

The reports coming out of Minneapolis of a federal agent shooting and killing an American citizen are deeply alarming. ICE must leave Minneapolis immediately to deescalate the situation and the administration must be held accountable.

Extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits is a short term fix to lower health care costs, and we're forcing a vote to do just that. But I know that our health care system needs major reform. That’s why I have championed universal health care as the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee.

This admin is making unreasonable demands of Denver Health and Children's Hospital Colorado, forcing them to stop critical care for kids who need it, risking their mental and physical health at risk. If Trump finalizes these cruel policies, I'll introduce a bill to overturn them. buff.ly/qrPSMOC

Today, I stood with my colleagues in the House and Senate to mark the 5th anniversary of the January 6 insurrection and to thank the men and women of law enforcement who helped defend the Capitol that day. I was in the gallery that day. I will never forget the terror I saw.

Donald Trump’s decision to take federal benefits from vulnerable children in Colorado is vindictive and illegal. I vehemently oppose his actions of political retribution against our state. This devastating freeze will take food from families across the state, in red and blue areas. buff.ly/sWNLR8z

Five years ago today, Donald Trump incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election — the most brazen attack on our own government by a sitting president in American history. Read my full statement:

This reckless change in the vaccine schedule by RFK Jr. and his hand-picked team of anti-vaxxers is a direct attack on the health of every American. It abandons decades of rigorous evidence and concern for the health and wellbeing of American families.

In 2026, I remain committed to defending our democracy and standing up for Denverites’ shared values. That means protecting the vulnerable, resisting RFK Jr.'s relentless attacks against science, and defending reproductive freedom. That’s what I’m fighting for this year.

While Nicolas Maduro is certainly an illegitimate leader, the United States does not have the authority to unilaterally invade another country, capture its leader and his wife, and haul them to the United States.

Grateful for the brave firefighters in Denver and the surrounding area who battled a five-alarm fire last night at Leetsdale Drive and Forest Street. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/100-f...

Happy New Year! Through this year’s ups and downs, I'm always grateful to represent our Denver community in Congress. In 2026, here’s to continuing to care for each other and making progress on our shared values.

New Year's Eve is a time to celebrate the upcoming year responsibly. If you’re going out, plan your safe ride home. RTD is offering zero fare tonight, and CDOT and the Colorado State Patrol have rideshare discounts available if you are out late. Learn more here: denverite.com/2025/12/29/h...

In one year under RFK Jr.’s failed leadership, America is less safe. Preventable disease outbreaks. Gutted research programs. Mass firings of public health experts & staff. wapo.st/48YSPC1

Saddened to learn of the passing of former CO Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Sen. Nighthorse Campbell was a strong advocate for Colorado and served as one of the few Native Americans in the history of our Congress. He was truly one of a kind, and I am thinking of his family in the wake of his loss.

I am heartbroken to learn of Tatiana Schlossberg’s passing this morning. We lost someone who cared deeply about this planet and who used her voice to try to make the world safer for the people she loved.

ICYMI: I wrote an op-ed in the Denver Post about why extending the ACA tax credits is essential to lowering health care costs. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/18/t...

AFC WEST CHAMPS! 🏆 The Broncos are back on top after 10 years. Bo Nix, this defense, this TEAM - built for January! #BroncosCountry

As we honor the principles of Kwanzaa, let us reflect on the strength of family, community, and the shared values that guide us forward. Happy Kwanzaa, Denver!

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas. I hope today is filled with joy, family, and the Broncos beating the Chiefs.

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas. I hope today is filled with joy, family, and the Broncos beating the Chiefs.

This holiday season, remember that rather than do anything to lower costs, Donald Trump recommended getting your kids fewer toys this year. His priority is his billionaire donors, not the American people.

While you slept, the Trump administration banned abortion care for millions of veterans —including in cases of rape, incest, or to save their lives. Veterans who served our country will be less safe and less protected because of this cruel policy. www.ms.now/news/abortio...

In just 7 days, Affordable Care Act tax credits expire. Speaker Johnson could have held a vote to extend them after 4 Republicans joined all Democrats on a discharge petition. He refused, and now health care premiums will double for many Coloradans. We will force a vote to lower these costs.

Jeanette Vizguerra’s release today shows what happens when courts enforce Constitutional protections and justice prevails against the Trump administration’s cruel immigration agenda. www.denverpost.com/2025/12/22/j...

Jeanette Vizguerra’s detention has been an example of the Trump administration’s bigoted immigration policy. They claim to be going after the worst of the worst, but instead they are going after mothers with U.S.-born children and advocates like Jeanette. coloradosun.com/2025/12/19/j...

House Democrats secured 218 signatures to force a vote on extending the ACA tax credits for 3 years. We stood on the Capitol steps today with one message for Speaker Johnson: Bring this to the Floor immediately. Instead, he sent Members home for the rest of the year. It is shameful.

Tonight proved, once again, that Donald Trump is more focused on himself rather than the American people.

While Donald Trump and Speaker Johnson claim to have a ‘concept of a plan’ and ‘hundreds of ideas’ for health care policy, the truth is much simpler: they have no real plan to address the health care crisis they created.

Every Republican on Energy & Commerce just voted against our effort to subpoena RFK Jr. What are they afraid of?

We could force a vote on an ACA extension if four Republicans found the will to sign Leader Jeffries' discharge petition.

Broncos continue to roll! Proud of the team for securing a playoff spot with last night’s win. #BroncosCountry

Tonight marks the first night of Hanukkah. May these next eight nights be filled with peace, light, and joy. Chag Sameach!

Yesterday’s attack at Brown claimed two lives, with eight students still fighting for theirs. I am praying for them and their families, and grateful for the officers who responded swiftly to stop the shooter. This epidemic of gun violence in our schools must end—enough is enough.

I am horrified by this morning’s antisemitic attack against the Jewish community in Sydney. Hate has no place in our society, here or abroad, and we must condemn it wherever it appears. I’m praying for the victims’ families and expect the perpetrators to be held accountable.

House Republicans just unveiled their so-called “health care plan,” which is nothing but a collection of failed policies hastily strung together in order to hide the fact that they are solely responsible for premiums that are going to double in the new year.

I've NEVER traded individual stocks throughout my time in public office. I signed the discharge petition to ban Congressional stock trading because public service isn't about profit. It's about trust. Speaker Johnson should bring this bill to the floor, and Donald Trump should sign it into law.

I just signed the discharge petition to ban Congressional stock trading. Members of Congress should never profit from public service. We need to pass this law now to restore trust in Congress.

This measles outbreak is a direct result of RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Yet Republicans in Congress refuse to bring him before my Health Subcommittee. They are abdicating responsibility. There must be accountability for this malpractice that will get more sick kids.

Mike Johnson refuses to do the one thing that will actually lower health care costs for Coloradans next year: extend the ACA tax credits. www.notus.org/congress/mik...

⏰21 days before premiums skyrocket for 22 million Americans. In Denver, that means a 60-year-old couple faces $21,202 in extra costs. A family of four faces $12,167 more. Republicans made clear today they have no interest in lowering costs for working families.

I have been saying for months that I would not support additional offensive weapon sales to Israel that could be used against innocent Palestinians. That’s why I voted against the NDAA today. Read my full statement:

Americans need to know: a bipartisan deal to protect fertility care for our troops was ready to go — and overnight, the Speaker torpedoed it. It’s control, plain and simple. Those who fight for our freedom deserve the same freedom to build their families on their terms. www.ms.now/news/lawmake...

The Crapo/Cassidy proposal doesn't even extend the ACA tax credits, leaving thousands of Coloradans to suffer with premiums that now cost double. This is nothing more than a smokescreen for Republicans to hide behind as they reject Democrats' proposal to simply extend the credits.

⏰ 22 days left before premiums spike for 22 million Americans. That means millions will have to choose between paying for prescriptions or feeding their kids. It’s time Republicans realized the easiest solution is simply extending ACA premium support.

Trump just rated his economy an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” as families in Denver struggle to afford groceries, health care, child care, rent, and other every day expenses. Donald Trump is out-of-touch and gaslighting the American people. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...
