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.

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.

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.

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

Great news! We just submitted our proposals for millions of dollars in federal funding to support 15 projects across our communities. From funding for affordable child care to our local infrastructure, these projects will improve our lives every day in #CO07. See the full

Grateful to have had a seat at the negotiating table as a member of @USHouseFSC working to establish long-overdue regulations for digital currencies. Today, I voted for the GENIUS Act because as crypto & other digital assets have the potential to become the next financial.

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”
