Republicans' refusal to extend ACA tax credits won’t just harm the millions who lose coverage – it’ll raise health care costs for everyone.

Colorado bows to no kings.

The Wynkoop opened its doors on this day in 1988, so I want to share a quick story about it:

This is anti-American. Full stop. Trump is firing hardworking people, threatening families’ livelihoods, and bringing our government to a standstill as a ploy to get what he wants. It’s downright shameful. www.businessinsider.com/trump-admini...

I’ve always said there’s nothing we can’t solve over a good beer. Thanks to everyone who joined us at Highside in Frisco to talk about the upcoming elections and our fight to defend Colorado.

Wildfires are getting worse. Droughts are getting worse. Pollution is getting worse. We don’t have time to waste. Congress needs to step up and address climate change, actually lower energy prices, and safeguard our public lands. Proud to fight alongside @lcv.org and @conservationco.bsky.social.

Nearly 50% of people on the ACA marketplace are self-employed or work at small businesses – and their health care costs are about to skyrocket 📈 Between this and the inflationary tariff-taxes, Trump and MAGA Republicans are making life hell for folks trying to make a living.

Republicans got their way when they voted to shutter rural hospitals, kick seniors out of nursing homes, and add trillions to the national debt. Now they’re acting like their hands are tied when it comes to reopening the government.

My position hasn’t changed: I’m committed to negotiating a government funding bill that would open the government and lower health care costs. Republicans need to step up and work with us.

Buena Vista's got an important school board election coming up – so we're getting out the vote! Thanks to the folks who braved the chilly weather together to knock on some doors.

TWO WEEKS. It’s been two weeks since Trump and Republicans shut down the government rather than fix the health care crisis they created. They have the power to end this. We’ve been ready.

Nobody wants a shutdown. We also don’t want premiums going through the roof for more than 24 million Americans. It’s well past time that Republicans negotiate with us.

Republicans tried to sell off our public lands in their Big Ugly Betrayal. We stopped them. But they will stop at nothing to carve away at our public lands and sell them off to the highest bidder. We will fight against it every step of the way. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/28/c...

We’re talking about health insurance premiums DOUBLING next year. This is after Republicans voted to slash Medicaid and ACA subsidies in exchange for the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the ultra-wealthy in American history. They just don’t get it.

Listen, we want to open the government and lower health care costs. Republicans want to rubber stamp Trump’s reckless agenda and let your health care premiums skyrocket. There’s no other way to spin it.

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Today we celebrate the culture and achievements of our Native American communities, and recommit to strengthening Tribal sovereignty and ensuring the government upholds its obligations.

A headline that says it all. Trump’s reckless policies are raising costs, making government less efficient, and pushing us dangerously close to a recession.

Whether you voted for him or not – Trump is willing to raise your electricity bill if it means rolling back our clean energy progress.

Republicans have the power to help us lower costs, safeguard rural hospitals, AND protect health care for American families. Why are they so against that?

I know how hard it is to run a small business – and right now, small businesses are bearing the brunt of Trump’s disastrous tariff-taxes. My bill would exempt all small businesses from these ridiculous, job-killing tariffs. www.durangoherald.com/articles/dur...

This is not a drill. Nobody can afford to pay double for health insurance. Republicans could work with us to fix this – but they would rather shut down the government.

“Much more challenging than the pandemic” “There went my profit” This is what Colorado small business owners have to say about Trump’s crushing tariff-taxes.

We’re STILL in a government shutdown because Republicans refuse to lower health care costs. Simple as that.

8 days. That’s how long Republicans have kept the government shut down. And not a single one of them has come to the table to tackle the health care crisis they created. Unbelievable.

RFK Jr.’s hand-picked team of anti-vaccine, anti-science ideologues are now making it harder to get a COVID shot. Putting up barriers to basic health care is not how you make America healthy again.

Our grassroots team is showing up – with donations from every single county! Coloradans are fired up and ready to defend this seat and fight Trump’s reckless agenda.

Republicans control every facet of the federal government and they couldn’t manage to keep it open. Mind-boggling.

Simply put: Republicans’ Big Ugly Betrayal is making Coloradans sicker and poorer. Whether you voted for Trump or not, they’ll take away your food and health care to give more tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.

The verdict is in: Trump’s tariff-taxes crushed an American agricultural economy that was thriving just last year. Because of Trump’s tariffs, farmers can’t sell their crops and food costs more for everyone. Now, he wants the taxpayers to bail him out. Here’s a better solution – end the tariffs.

Republicans control the White House. Republicans control the U.S. Senate. Republicans control the House of Representatives. Republicans own this shutdown.

60% of seniors in nursing homes are on Medicaid. Hundreds of thousands of Coloradans rely on Medicaid to survive. Republicans would rather shut down the government than ensure folks can afford health care.

They can try to spin it all they want, but Republicans own this shutdown. We put forth a plan to lower health care costs, and keep the government open. They blocked it.

I feel for anyone trying to run a business while dealing with Trump’s inflationary tariffs. These tariff-taxes would’ve trampled us when we were trying to get the brewery off the ground. Enough is enough – Congress needs to intervene.

Coloradans' lives and livelihoods are at stake. I'm not going to sit back and let Congress rubber stamp more of Trump's harmful MAGA agenda.

📢🚨 Your health insurance premium could MORE THAN DOUBLE if Republicans get their way. Yet they refuse to budge an inch to fix it. Beyond shameful. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/30/a...

Did anyone vote for more expensive housing? Nothing about Trump’s illegal tariff-taxes are putting America first. They’re jacking up costs, stunting our economy, and driving us closer to a recession.

Gimme a break.

🚨🚨🚨 Donald Trump is canceling clean energy projects in states that did not vote for him. He’s taking his revenge out on the American people – no matter the cost to our planet or your pocket.

Republicans gleefully gutted SNAP benefits for over half a million Coloradans. Children and families are going to go hungry because of their Big Beautiful Betrayal.

Let me be clear: we’re fighting to keep Space Command in Colorado Springs. Trump wants to waste billions of taxpayer dollars, uproot military families, and put our national security at risk to move it for political reasons. We won’t stand for it.

Republicans refused to negotiate a spending bill that would lower costs and restore the health care they ripped away. They expected us to rubber stamp their harmful MAGA agenda. They own this shutdown.

It’s getting more and more expensive to enjoy everyday life thanks to Trump’s inflationary tariff-taxes. And Republicans in Washington won’t do a thing about it.

The wealthiest country in the world has a president who is actively making us sicker and poorer.

Another month of Trump’s second term – another lousy jobs report. The numbers don’t lie. Trump is vaporizing the jobs we created and driving us straight into a recession. www.cnn.com/2025/10/01/e...

It’s pretty simple: Folks need relief for these ridiculous increases in health care costs. That’s what we’re fighting for.

Republicans shut down the government. They refused to lower costs and restore health care and just want to blindly approve Trump’s extreme MAGA agenda.

The Republican-controlled White House, Senate, and House of Representatives sat on their hands for weeks, refused to negotiate with us, and blocked our efforts to fund the government while lowering costs. They are driving us straight into a shutdown.

If Republicans won't move one inch and help us lower costs, then this shutdown is on them.

Trump is taking away funding for pediatric brain cancer research. It doesn’t get more cruel than that.
