(1/2) Today, I was proud to attend the ribbon cutting of the YMCA of Metro Denver’s Beyond Hunger Kitchen expansion.

Trump is using the power of the Executive branch to target Denver. This move is more of the same weaponization we’ve seen from this administration against blue cities. These plans will only harm our state’s economy and stoke division in our communities. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

It is always a joy visiting Pacific Mercantile, which earned Westword's Best Asian Market! This family has been serving Denver's Japanese community since right after WWII and four generations later they're still going strong. What a legacy. Congratulations to the Noguchi and Nagai family!

This Memorial Day, I am thinking about the brave servicemembers we’ve lost—including those from Colorado—the lives they lived and their legacies that carry forward through today.

🧵 Our resistance is working! This last week was a wreck for Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans.

It’s disgraceful that Republican leadership abruptly cancelled tonight’s vote on the War Powers Resolution to help Trump avoid an embarrassing defeat. Last I checked, House Republicans swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, not the con man sitting in the White House.

Great news – my bill, the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act, which funds critical Down syndrome research, just passed out of the Energy and Commerce Committee! This bill will help us better understand the condition while advancing groundbreaking and innovative research. Next stop –the House Floor!

The U.S. is facing a serious maternal mortality crisis. More than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, and these deaths disproportionately impact Black women. We must come together to solve this crisis. We have the resources, so let’s do it.

Donald Trump thinks he can get away with stealing $1.8 billion of your taxpayer money, but I won’t let that slide.   That’s why I’m joining @raskin.house.gov on the No Taxpayer-Funded Settlement Slush Funds Act, because your money shouldn’t pay off insurrectionists and Trump’s friends.

(1/2) Last year, the Trump administration tried to force themselves into Colorado doctors’ offices through executive action against gender-affirming care. Thankfully, Colorado’s Supreme Court chose families over the administration.

Donald Trump is trying to steal almost $2 billion of your taxpayer money to line the pockets of January 6 insurrectionists and his political allies.   I will fight to make sure not a dime goes to these people.

I’m sad to hear about the passing of former Rep. Barney Frank. He was a dear friend and mentor to many of us in Congress, and his courageous leadership will leave a lasting impact for generations to come. I’m thinking of his friends and family during this time of grief and mourning.

(1/2) All the experts agree: FDA should simplify access to complex treatments for people with severe Type 1 Diabetes. That's why Rep. Bilirakis and I sent a bipartisan letter to the FDA urging the agency to revisit its policies so that more patients can be helped.

I am heartbroken for the victims, their families, and the San Diego community after yesterday’s tragic shooting at a mosque. This hate and Islamophobia have no place in our nation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Make no mistake: Donald Trump is using the DOJ to funnel $1.776 billion of your taxpayer money to J6 insurrectionists and political allies. This is blatant corruption and attempted theft. What else should we expect from a con man?

What the hell was Governor Polis thinking when he commuted Tina Peters’ sentence? She was convicted by a jury of her peers on several criminal charges for interfering in the 2020 election, and her conviction was recently upheld in the Court of Appeals.

Republicans on my Health Subcommittee need to stop waiting for Donald Trump’s permission to do their job. We could be passing bills to lower health care costs, protect rural hospitals, and turbocharge American biomedical research.

ICE is beyond reform. It’s time to dismantle and defund ICE.

We have an acting CDC director. We have an acting FDA commissioner. And our HHS secretary is an anti-vax conspiracy theorist. Our nation’s public health leadership is non-existent, and Americans are suffering because of it.

Donald Trump doesn't care that you can't afford gas, groceries, and health care as long as he gets his war.

After increasing military spending to historic highs, Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth want nearly $500 billion more. Last year, Republicans claimed we didn't have enough money to extend ACA tax credits.

Donald Trump is panicking because his $1 billion-a-day war with Iran is costing Americans significantly more at the gas pump.

🚨Today is the final day of #SCOTUS' stay in Louisiana v. FDA. As we watch for updates, catch up on this case and its implications for medication abortion access 👇

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in Denver and across Colorado. I hope today is full of love and time with your family.

Maybe the United States shouldn't have pulled out of the World Health Organization.

Under Donald Trump and RFK Jr.’s watch, this administration has replaced trusted career scientists and public health experts with anti-vax conspiracy theorists who spread fear about vaccines. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/u...

Denver’s gun safety laws help keep weapons of war off our streets. CO has seen horrific shootings in which rifles with large capacity magazines inflict devastating damage. Trump is trying to make it easier to get these weapons, but Denver & Colorado will always fight back against federal overreach.

Trump’s war with Iran is making life more expensive for families in Denver and across Colorado. I’m fighting to end this illegal and costly war immediately.

$36.7 billion for immigration enforcement. $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom. These are Republicans’ top priorities for their latest budget stunt. I won’t vote for a dime for Trump’s cruel immigration agenda, nor for a ballroom that the American people overwhelmingly do not support.

As Donald Trump and his extreme anti-choice allies continue their assault on reproductive freedom, I’m leading an amicus brief with over 250 Congressional Democrats to protect mifepristone access and FDA's integrity.

May is Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to intensify our efforts to combat antisemitism while honoring the immense contributions of Jewish Americans to our nation’s vibrant history.

I'm relieved that the Supreme Court just paused a lower court order that would have prevented women across our country from receiving mifepristone—safe, effective, and FDA-approved abortion care—via telehealth.

Today, the House finally funded the Department of Homeland Security without including any money for Trump’s cruel immigration agenda. While this ensures that the hardworking men and women at TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard get paid, I will continue pushing to defund and dismantle ICE.

Food safety is a vital part of public health, but while Republicans hold hearings on it, RFK Jr. is going on podcasts bragging about work he hasn't actually done. I'm ready to work to make our food healthier & safer, but we need willing partners who support the science & career employees at FDA.

Donald Trump’s handpicked Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act in a blatant move to eliminate fair representation. Their decision will green light racial discrimination when it comes to drawing new Congressional districts. 1/2

Fantastic news that the Avs swept the Kings to make it to the next round of the NHL playoffs. This team is built to win, and I'm looking forward to seeing this incredible playoff run continue. #GoAvsGo

My Pawlicy Advisor Fiona and I visited Three Dog Bakery which was named Denver’s best dog bakery by @westword.com. Our community is lucky to have shops like this to provide tasty treats for our tail-wagging Denverites! 🐾

Happy Earth Day! Today, the House GOP was forced to pull a bill that would weaken the Endangered Species Act by making it harder to protect imperiled species and their habitats, likely leading to species extinction, not species recovery.

8-in-10 American women use contraception in their daily lives. Sec. Kennedy doesn’t know that, but he is actively working to rip it away.

HHS Secretary Kennedy’s silence on protecting access to birth control is deafening.

27 years ago today, we lost 13 precious lives to gun violence in a horrific mass shooting at Columbine High School. As I grieved with survivors and families, and school leaders, I never imagined that nearly three decades later, we would watch history repeat itself over and over again.

We've always known that Donald Trump and his anti-choice allies in Congress were not going to stop at abortion. I am fighting like hell to save programs like Title X from the chopping block – this funding is critical in preserving women’s access to health care, including birth control.

We should be reining in government surveillance powers, not expanding them in the dead of night.

While you slept, House Republicans tried to sneak through a five-year expansion of warrantless surveillance powers — turning a foreign intelligence tool into a weapon to spy on Americans. They failed, so they're coming back in two weeks. I was a hell last night, and I'll be a hell no in two weeks.

Trump's illegal war in Iran costs $1 billion a day, and it's sending gas prices soaring. Today, I voted again to stop it. Republicans refused again. They would rather spend your money on a forever war overseas instead of affordable food, housing, and health care here at home.

Today is Tax Day, and thanks to Trump’s Big Bad Bill, billionaires are paying even less in taxes. While Republicans in Congress try to rig the economy for their billionaire allies, I’m fighting to make sure they pay their fair share.

Teachers are the backbone of our communities. I stand with the teachers striking in Sheridan and urge the parties to come together and find a solution that meets the needs of our public servants. www.cpr.org/2026/04/06/e...

This weekend, we celebrated 100 years of South High School! My mother, my sisters and I all graduated from South. I’m proud that this school remains a cornerstone of education and community in Denver, and I’m honored to represent them in Congress.

Congrats to the Pios on their 11TH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆 after beating Wisconsin in the Frozen Four! You’ve made Denver proud!

Today marks the start of Black Maternal Health Week. Black mothers in America die at nearly three times the rate of white mothers, and more than 80% of those deaths are preventable.
