Coloradans cannot afford for ACA health care tax credits to expire. Republicans must come to the table to preserve these credits, prevent premiums from skyrocketing, and end their shutdown.
It is imperative that the deal on the table be finalized, that the hostages be reunified with their loved ones, that Gaza be flooded with humanitarian aid, and that this conflict end. Any other outcome will only prolong the tragedy of October 7. (2/2)
Two years after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, there are still empty chairs at the tables of hostages’ families and millions of Palestinians in Gaza are homeless, facing starvation. (1/2)
Republicans refuse to negotiate with Democrats and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing for millions of Americans. That’s why I voted NO for the fifth time against Republicans’ partisan budget bill.
Health care premiums will skyrocket by as much as 300% in Colorado if Republicans allow ACA health care tax credits to expire. Republicans must negotiate with Democrats to preserve this lifeline for families and small businesses.
As food banks are pushed to the brink and nearly 300,000 Coloradans are at risk of losing some or all of their food assistance, Trump’s cuts have kept millions of pounds of food from reaching hungry families. This Republican shutdown will only worsen food insecurity across Colorado. (1/2)
Business owners across Colorado tell me they're now worried about making payroll and planning next quarter because of Trump’s trade war. The Republican shutdown will only worsen the effects of Trump’s harmful trade policies and drive up uncertainty for struggling businesses.
Republicans must stop stonewalling Democrats and negotiate an end to their government shutdown. Failing to extend the ACA health care tax credits will create a huge amount of misery for working families already facing Republicans’ dangerous cuts to Medicaid.
I just voted NO against Republicans’ fourth attempt to steamroll Democrats with their CR. Republicans must negotiate with Democrats and prevent health care premiums from skyrocketing.
Colorado: If you receive a letter from your health insurer stating your premiums will skyrocket next year, please call our office to share your story. We must shine a light on the harm Republicans will do if they allow the ACA health care tax credits to expire and force premiums to double.
“Yesterday, in a nakedly political action, President Trump’s Department of Energy cancelled nearly $8 billion for sixteen Democratic states, including millions of dollars of federal funding for Colorado." Read my full statement on the targeted cancellation of Colorado's energy project funding:
Republicans cannot let ACA tax credits expire and force Coloradans, already struggling to get by, to pay even higher premiums. It’s past time they came to the table, negotiated, and put an end to this government shutdown. (2/2)
Trump and Republicans are lying about immigrants to distract from the truth. Undocumented immigrants have never been eligible for federal funding under ACA, Medicaid, or Medicare. (1/2)
During this government shutdown, my offices will remain open and ready to serve all Coloradans. If you need assistance with a federal agency or have questions about the potential impacts of the shutdown, please don't hesitate to give us a call. My team is here to help.
We cannot allow the Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire and for healthcare premiums to skyrocket for Coloradans as they’re already struggling to get by. Republicans need to prioritize lowering costs for working families and put an end to this shutdown.
President Trump's suggestion that the U.S. military use American cities as "training grounds" is dangerous and unacceptable. This is wannabe authoritarian rhetoric that we must all reject.
