It's day 36 of the shutdown—the longest on record. Instead of working with Democrats to reopen the government, Trump is withholding full SNAP benefits from millions of Americans, while House Republicans are on a 6-week vacation. (1/2)
Donald Trump is now openly defying court orders to pay out SNAP benefits. He has made clear that he does not care about the families who rely on SNAP to put food on the table, and children are going hungry because of his cruel, illegal actions. This is shameful.
ICE is snatching families in Colorado off the street and shipping them out of the state. And they are denying Members of Congress our Constitutional responsibility of conducting oversight of their facilities. What are they hiding and why won’t they let us do our jobs?
Trump is leaving participants with only partial benefits for next month. He is more concerned about 'winning' the shutdown than he is about leaving 42 million Americans without food in a matter of days to weeks.
At every step of the way, Trump & his Admin have acted illegally to stop November SNAP benefits from going out. Now, after a judge has ruled the administration does have the legal authority to ensure full SNAP benefits, Trump will only do the bare minimum for hardworking Americans.
Thanks to Congressional Republicans and Donald Trump, health care costs are skyrocketing for families in Colorado. With open enrollment starting today, families are going to get sticker shock from the high price of their premiums. We must extend the ACA tax credits to lower these costs NOW.
Fantastic news: a US judge has blocked the Trump administration from suspending SNAP benefits. The courts continue to show that Trump and his cronies are acting outside of the law, and we will keep fighting against their cruel, illegal efforts.
Had a great meeting with Senators from Indonesia's Regional Representative Council at World Denver today. I appreciated the thoughtful discussion about our experiences in public service and the importance of advancing health care for all.
Speaker Johnson’s current argument is “we are going to withhold SNAP benefits unless Democrats let us massively increase health care costs.” His orders from Trump are clear: enrich Trump’s family and billionaire donors by kicking millions off of Medicaid and stripping food assistance from children.
Donald Trump just imposed the lowest-ever cap on refugee admissions into our country. Immigrants make our country strong, and we should be a safe haven for those fleeing from conflict, persecution, famine, and other situations that make living in their homeland dangerous.
While House Republicans haven’t shown up to work in over a month, the hardworking men and women of the Capitol Police, Sergeant at Arms, & support staff are keeping us safe and maintaining operations. Lunch is a small token of gratitude to thank them for their tireless work while missing paychecks.

Glad to see Colorado fighting back with a lawsuit against the Trump administration withholding contingency SNAP funding. Trump and Ag Secretary Rollins must immediately release the funding to prevent an interruption of benefits for the 600,000 Coloradans who rely on SNAP each month.
Trump's shutdown is forcing 42 million Americans to lose access to SNAP benefits. Despite having the contingency funds available to maintain SNAP, Trump is actively refusing to provide those benefits. Colorado is stepping up, but families across the country will suffer because of his cruelty.
Thanks to Trump and House Republicans, Coloradans who receive their insurance through Connect for Health Colorado are going to see their premiums double. Trump said he had a “concept” of a plan, but the only action he’s taken has been to slash Medicaid and refuse to extend ACA premium support.
Thanks to everyone who attended my tele-town hall last night. As we continue to navigate this shutdown, I am committed to keeping you informed of our work to reopen the government and safeguard health care for all.
While Donald Trump is gutting the East Wing and buying private jets for his cabinet, Americans are getting slammed with skyrocketing insurance prices. It’s time for House Republicans to come back from their vacation so we can reopen the government and address the health care crisis they created.
