Just got back to DC after flying over night because Donald Trump is forcing a vote on his devastating budget proposal. It’s hard to hold back the tears when trying to articulate how bad this bill truly is and what it will do to families and communities across this country.

My office has received countless calls from seniors, families, & businesses who can’t get anyone at @IRSnews or @SocialSecurity to pick up the phone. I'm demanding answers because we deserve to know how Trump's reckless cuts are impacting the services our seniors depend on. So.

Trump layoffs are prohibiting congressional caseworkers from delivering millions of dollars back to our communities. I am leading 50+ Dems to ensure tax returns, Social Security checks, and more aren’t collateral damage in Trump’s mission to destroy our federal agencies.

Trump is illegally freezing $5.5 billion in education funding – including for Colorado. Trump is literally taking books off the shelves & teachers from the classrooms of our kids. In Trump's world, what happens to the rest of us doesn’t matter. It’s only the people who are

Important Update 🚨 Trump reversed the Biden-era rule to ensure medical debt didn’t impact credit scores, so it didn’t limit your ability to buy a home, get a job, or build a future. People are already underwater with high costs and rising inflation from his tariffs. He’s also

Speaker Johnson is adjourning the House early to protect Trump from the Epstein files. The victims deserve justice and the American people deserve answers. That’s why I’m backing a bill to expose the truth and hold abusers accountable. @POTUS, what are you so scared of?.

BREAKING:. Mike Johnson just canceled votes for Thursday and is sending the House home early for summer recess in order to shut down Democratic efforts to demand more votes on releasing the Epstein files.

Trump is not only going after immigrants themselves but now he's targeting the nonprofits and NGOs that help support them when they are in need. Disgraceful. Unlawful. Un-American.

Republicans passed Trump’s budget gutting health care & cost-saving investments just to hand billionaires tax breaks and add to the deficit. Now families face 104% premium hikes & will be forced to choose between going to the doctor & putting food on the table. We won't forget

What ICE is doing to women is horrifying and inhumane – including denying women in custody prenatal care. The Trump Administration is doing this in our name. And they must answer for it. I joined @DemWomensCaucus in calling for an investigation into violations against women in.

We’re demanding an immediate investigation into ICE and CBP’s treatment of women in custody. ICE and CBP’s abuse, mistreatment, and medical neglect of women must end. It’s time for answers, action and accountability.

13 years ago, 12 lives were lost in a mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora. Our kids should be able to go to school, the grocery store, and movie theatre without worrying about their safety. We need federal gun safety policies to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous.

I’m using my position in Congress to request $3 million in federal funding to replace outdated wastewater infrastructure in Park County. Clean, safe water is non-negotiable for my family and yours. I’m fighting to secure this funding so we can keep making good on that promise to.

Today, I’m proud to highlight one of the 15 projects I’m fighting for in Congress – a new child care center in Cañon City!. As a mom who’s been on long waitlists for both of my kids, I know how tough it is to find safe, affordable care – and it’s even harder in our rural areas.

Construction in Colorado is just one of the many industries that will be impacted by Trump’s mass, indiscriminate deportations. Not only will these deportations leave jobs unfilled, it will affect American-born construction workers as the entire industry shrinks without the.

A lot of people ask me what it's like to be in Congress right now. While we’re not in power, we are not powerless. It was great to speak with @ChuckTodd about what it means to govern from the minority and what we can do in this moment when so many feel hopeless. Listen to my

Trump has never cared about the fentanyl crisis & he’s proving it every day by illegally withholding the federal funding our communities rely on to save the lives of people who are struggling with addiction. It’s devastating to think about the lives that will be lost & people.

“The money currently being withheld accounts for roughly half of the funds allocated by Congress for the OD2A program, which supports fentanyl response efforts in 49 states”
