Today marks 5 years of the Great American Outdoors Act and its Legacy Restoration Fund. I was proud to help pass this bipartisan, critical investment—supporting 17 projects across Colorado, and protecting our public lands for the next generation.
Happy #ColoradoDay! On our state’s 149th birthday, I’m proud to lead Colorado’s delegation in Congress and uplift the voices of all the Denverites who call the Centennial State home.
Over 30 years ago, I wrote Colorado’s clinic safety law to protect patients from harassment & intimidation. Anti-abortion extremists are still trying to overturn it—but once again, the courts said no. I'm proud of this law, and I will keep defending the right to safe, dignified health care.
Organizations like the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation are supposed to be delivering lifesaving aid to address this crisis, but their work has raised significant concerns with violent incidents at their distribution sites leading to hundreds of deaths. (2/3)
For 60 years, Medicare & Medicaid have helped Americans live longer, healthier lives. Yet the Big Bad Bill slashes these vital programs and rips care from 240,000 Coloradans alone. I will not stop fighting against Trump’s extreme agenda and reversing these devastating cuts.
Congress gives NIH funding to support lifesaving research & groundbreaking treatments. Russ Vought and OMB have no authority to override that with the stroke of a pen. There must be accountability for this directive, and Vought must answer to Congress—and the people—for this reckless overreach.
As a longtime advocate for bold environmental policy, I’ll fight these short-sighted moves every step of the way. We owe it to future generations to stand up to polluters and defend our planet.
The EPA should be using every tool it has to fight climate change and protect public health—not walking away from its responsibility because of partisan politics. Gutting this finding ignores the overwhelming science of climate change, opens the door to more pollution, and puts lives at risk.
Glad these school funds are finally being restored—but they never should’ve been frozen. I joined my colleagues in demanding the Trump Admin unfreeze these critical dollars for our schools and will continue to push back against their chaos in court.
Trump touted lowering tariffs on Japan to 15% as a 'massive deal.’ But 15% is not a 'deal' at all. As co-chair of the Study Group on Japan, I'm sounding the alarm on the diplomatic & economic damage his reckless tariffs are causing in the region. Read my full op-ed with @bera.house.gov‬ below. ⬇️
Five years ago, I helped pass the FDA’s streamlined over-the-counter medicines program, ensuring the products in Americans' medicine cabinets are safe, effective, & accessible. Today, my bill to reauthorize this program passed out of committee, ensuring the FDA can continue its important work.
NIH has long been the gold standard of biomedical research worldwide, but under the Trump Administration, that leadership is at risk. My resolution with @repauchincloss.bsky.social & @raskin.house.gov‬ recognizes the vital role of America’s scientific community and its leadership in innovation.
Today we introduced the EACH Act to end the Hyde Amendment that denies families across the country coverage for abortion care. Grateful for the partnership of @degette.house.gov, @schakowsky.house.gov, @frost.house.gov, @duckworth.senate.gov, @murray.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov & Rep. Barbara Lee.
The verdict is in: the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed the Big Bad Bill will add $3.4 trillion to the deficit and leave 10 million Americans uninsured— all to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. Trump calls his law 'beautiful'. I call it a disaster.
Great meeting with Mari, a student from Denver living with type 1 diabetes and serving as our district’s Children’s Congress delegate. Her advocacy inspires my work as co-chair of the Diabetes Caucus—for affordable insulin, research, and a cure.
The U.S. has been at the forefront of developing life-saving drugs. But under the Trump Admin, our leadership is slipping. Slashing NIH & FDA funding means fewer new cures, longer wait times, & more lives at risk. I am fighting every day to stop Trump’s attacks on science before it's too late.
