Donald Trump and RFK Jr. have eroded Americans’ confidence in public health and diminished our capacity to protect the public, from hawking unproven treatments to ousting trusted medical experts across the federal government.

This administration’s anti-science agenda is going to get kids killed. The vote by members of ACIP to end the universal Hepatitis B vaccine birth dose recommendation for newborns is not supported by science and is incredibly reckless.
This administration’s anti-science agenda is going to get kids killed. The vote by members of ACIP to end the universal Hepatitis B vaccine birth dose recommendation for newborns is not supported by science and is incredibly reckless.
See my full statement below:
Over 60,000 Colorado service members put their lives on the line for us. They deserve leaders who protect them — not endanger them, as Pete Hegseth did. I called for his resignation then. The case is even clearer today.

Trump promised lower energy bills on Day One.
316 days later, Republicans just blocked my amendment to guarantee exactly that.
Every single Republican voted NO.
Someone you love is alive because of an NIH-funded breakthrough — a cancer therapy, a diabetes treatment, an affordable drug developed in a small lab somewhere in America.
Trump’s anti-science agenda is stealing that future. Cutting NIH doesn’t save money. It costs lives.

The Hepatitis B birth dose is credited for a 99 percent drop in infections, and RFK Jr. and his vaccine conspiracy theorists on ACIP want to scrap that dose.
Their anti-science agenda is going to lead to preventable deaths for American children.
Shameful.

If you or your family are affected by Trump's actions on asylum, refugee resettlement, Special Immigrant Visas, green cards, or other immigration policies, my office is here to help. You can call my District Office at (303) 844-4988.
Coloradans have welcomed thousands of refugees from Afghanistan, Ukraine, and dozens of other countries.
Trump wants us to abandon them based on a crime they had nothing to do with. He says we'll only be safe without "them."
It's a lie to divide us. We're strongest when we stand together.
Trump is exploiting last week's shooting to do what he's wanted since day one: shut down asylum, block refugees, revoke green cards, and target immigrants from countries he doesn't like.
This is racist, un-American, and illegal. Trump can't erase international law with a social media post.
I’m still thinking of last night’s Broncos win in overtime. What an exciting game to get us to 10-2 and continue our march towards the playoffs. #BroncosCountry
Now for the first time in 44 years, the United States skipped commemorating World AIDS Day. This is the time for the U.S. to lead by example and invest in cutting-edge American research to fight this disease—not hide from it.

Earlier this year, Donald Trump, with the help of Elon Musk, gutted worldwide HIV/AIDS funding. These cuts came as roughly 1.3 million people across the globe became newly infected in 2024 and over 600,000 people died.
Wishing you and your loved ones a happy Thanksgiving. I’m grateful to represent our community in Denver — one that comes together to feed those in need and support those who are vulnerable.
I hope today is full of restful time with friends, family, and good food.🥧
RFK Jr.'s war on science continues as he installs an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist as deputy director of CDC.

The courts continue to stand up to Trump’s illegal actions, uphold our Constitution, and throw out these overtly political cases.
Trump’s weaponization of the Justice Department is a real threat to our democracy, and it must end now.

As Tatiana so powerfully stated, Trump and RFK Jr.’s devastating cuts to biomedical research are having very real consequences for patients and their families across the country.
The relentless attacks against our health agencies, including NIH, all have to stop. Enough is enough.
I was heartbroken reading Tatiana Schlossberg’s personal experience battling her cancer diagnosis.
I admire her courage and wisdom, and I’m proud of her for continuing the Kennedy family’s legacy of leadership and of turning adversity into advocacy.
Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy, had just given birth when she was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia. She writes about her fear of adding another tragedy to her family’s life. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/CLpbsb
House Republicans just returned from a seven-week taxpayer-funded recess, and instead of doing anything to lower costs, they are wasting time and money on this pointless resolution.
Thanks to Donald Trump and RFK Jr., our ability to get new and innovative drugs approved has been significantly eroded.
Their assault on science is going to have lasting consequences on biomedical innovation. We were once the gold standard, but now they are throwing away our global leadership.
