Trump’s newest executive order bans almost all purchasing at NIH—cutting off funding for cancer trials, patient care, and life-saving research. This isn’t about “waste.” It’s about sabotage. Trump & Elon Musk are decimating American global health leadership.
Over 2,300 Interior employees have been fired in Colorado—public servants who protect our lands & conserve wildlife. I joined my CO Democratic colleagues in urging the DOI to reverse these harmful cuts and reinstate these workers who are essential to protecting our public lands and communities.
Colorado is home to +13,000 Dreamers, contributing to our communities, economy, & future. I'm proud to be an original cosponsor of the Bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act to provide Dreamers a pathway to citizenship & opportunity to continue positively impacting communities across America.
As a member of the Energy Subcommittee, I’m fighting for American leadership in clean energy & lowering methane emissions. Now, House Republicans want to gut methane rules & hike home energy costs—just to reward Big Oil. When will they deliver on their promise to lower costs for families?
The GOP claims slashing $880 billion from Medicaid is about eliminating "waste, fraud, & abuse.” That's a smokescreen. The “fraud” amounts to less than 1/10th of 1%, not even close to $880 billion. Their actual plan slashes coverage for millions & leaves families without care. We won’t be fooled.
House Republicans’ extreme agenda of cutting Medicaid is so unpopular that they are being told to hide from their constituents. What’s so difficult about explaining why they want to gut essential services to give tax cuts to billionaires? 🤔
When this bill comes to my committee, I will fight to expose the danger these cuts pose to my constituents and all Americans. House Democrats will stand united against these extreme cuts.
They have directed my committee, the Energy and Commerce Committee, which has jurisdiction over Medicaid, to cut $880 billion. These cuts can only come at the expense of our seniors, kids, and most vulnerable.
House Republicans want Energy & Commerce to cut $880 billion from our jurisdiction and gut Medicaid so they can pay for their billionaire friend’s tax cuts. House Democrats won’t let them get away with putting people like Elon Musk over the American people.
The GOP’s budget is a ploy to fund Trump’s tax cuts for his billionaire friends like Elon Musk while defunding lifesaving programs like Medicaid & CHIP. Over 140,000+ Denverites could lose or not be able to enroll in these essential services. I won’t let my constituents get ripped off.
This week, the GOP is bringing up bills to roll back energy efficiency standards and gut key programs to regulate methane waste. Their reason? Efficiency standards are “bad for consumers.” The reality? Energy standards are popular, commonsense tools to SAVE Americans money on their energy bills.
Republicans on the Energy & Commerce Committee just voted against my amendment to examine how Elon’s mass firings hurt HHS’s ability to protect public health. Gutting the department that protects our health puts all of us at risk. Without their knowledge & resources, we will all pay the price.
For decades, anti-abortion extremists have tried & failed to overturn this law. Yesterday, SCOTUS dismissed another attack on similar protections in IL & NJ. Their dismissal of this case is a win for reproductive freedom & proof that even this conservative Court sees through these baseless efforts.
Back in the CO State Legislature, I fought to pass the nation’s first ‘bubble bill’—protecting Coloradans from harassment when accessing health care. Some said it was unconstitutional, but SCOTUS upheld it. They said it wouldn’t survive another challenge—until it was upheld again.
This week in Congress, House Republicans want to force through a vote that would gut Medicaid and make it harder for Americans to see their doctors so that they can give tax cuts to billionaires. As the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I’m fighting tooth and nail to stop them.
It’s been three years since Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine and every day since then, we’ve watched them bravely fight for democracy and freedom for all. As Trump continues to echo Putin's propaganda, we cannot let him sell out Ukraine to Russia. America must #StandWithUkraine.
🚨 Another loss in court for DOGE and Elon. A federal judge just blocked them from accessing sensitive data at the Department of Education. This is an important check on an out-of-control executive branch.
BREAKING: A federal judge has just blocked the Department of Education and OPM from sharing sensitive data with DOGE. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
