This week's Supreme Court decision is deeply disappointing — the Uinta Basin Railway threatens Colorado’s communities, watersheds, and forests. I stand by Eagle County as they continue this fight in the D.C. Circuit. Read my full statement with @neguse.house.gov below ⬇️

This week, I enjoyed speaking with Coloradans at town halls in Pueblo, Centennial, and Denver. Thank you to the hundreds of people who showed up to make their voices heard on everything from combating corruption in government to fighting Republican Medicaid cuts.

SNAP, our most effective nutrition assistance program, is under attack. Instead of lowering grocery bills, the Republican Budget Bill would leave 4M+ kids, seniors, veterans and working families with less food. This isn’t fiscal responsibility—it’s cruelty disguised as budgeting.

As a former Superintendent, I know teaching is one of the toughest and most important jobs. Congratulations to Thornton teacher Michelle Pearson for her induction into the National Teacher Hall of Fame–your passion for teaching will stay with your students for years to come.

This weekend, I was honored to meet Howard Berger, a 101-year-old WW2 veteran. Alongside Howard we remember the brave Americans who fought and died for our freedom. On Memorial Day, we thank you for your sacrifice.

House Republican’s budget bill will strip health care from millions just to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans. This is unacceptable. Senate Democrats must stand up against these cuts, and give Americans a vision for what a better future can look like.

President Trump has not wasted a moment using his position of power for personal gain. Today’s official acceptance of a luxury jet from the Qatari government for use as Air Force One poses a needless threat to U.S. national security and is a disturbing abuse of the office of the President.

The United States lost its AAA credit rating due to the disastrous policies of this Administration. Whoever our next IRS Commissioner is needs to take responsibility and quit blaming Congress.

Ending protections for Venezuelans fleeing Maduro’s regime is cruel, short-sighted, and destabilizing. I’ve fought to extend TPS so families in Colorado can stay safe and rebuild their lives. Stripping it away abandons American values and weakens our communities.

Susan and I are sad to learn of President Biden’s cancer diagnosis. We are thinking of President Biden and his family today as he begins his path to recovery.

It’s Colorado Public Lands Day–a reminder that Colorado’s public lands are the backbone of our outdoor recreation economy and way of life. Now more than ever, we must keep fighting to protect these lands and the land management employees who preserve them for future generations.
