Policy Soup stir the pot ALPHA

Last night in Granby, I hosted my 17th public town hall — the most in Colorado’s delegation this year! While House Republicans continue their paid vacation, refuse to reopen the House, and refuse to hold town halls, I’ll keep showing up everyday — and in every community.

The cuts to SNAP benefits by House Republicans — coupled with the government shutdown — have created a crisis for countless Coloradans. Grateful to convene a discussion with local food banks & civic leaders yesterday as we develop a community response to help hungry families across our state.

When you represent a district larger than 8 states, you understand the importance of showing up in EVERY single community. Excited to traverse Colorado’s 2nd district today — with visits to 3 counties, 5 cities, a town-hall (our 17th this year!) & a whole lot of coffee ☕️ Stay tuned! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Republicans’ cuts to Medicaid and rural hospitals, coupled with their failure to extend ACA tax credits, has created a healthcare crisis for working families in rural Colorado. Grateful to meet with health care providers across Grand County yesterday to discuss the road ahead.

This summer, I asked Republicans why they bothered attending committee hearings, since they’d been ordered by the Speaker to stay silent throughout. They took it literally — and have gone from refusing to debate, to now refusing to show up at all. A shameful debasement of the People’s House.

House Republicans are not only refusing to negotiate — they’ve shut down the House entirely & left for a continuous five-week paid vacation. My interview with @meiselasb.bsky.social on @meidastouch.com.

Gilpin may be Colorado’s second smallest county, but its residents are some of the most welcoming & gracious in our state! Grateful to spend yesterday visiting with folks lending a helping hand at the local Food Pantry — we'll continue to do everything we can to support their efforts. 🏔️🏔️🏔️

This is the Republicans’ schedule for the House of Representatives this month. No committee hearings. No legislative markups. No Floor debate. It is outrageous!

The House Republicans refusing to extend tax credits for working Americans to access healthcare are the same politicians who gave tax breaks to everyone else this summer — to billionaires, corporations, and even “whaling boats.” Shameful!
