Policy Soup stir the pot ALPHA

Families across our state depend on this funding for child care, groceries and other basic necessities. To deny this kind of support was morally reprehensible, and I'll keep fighting so Colorado families get what they were promised.

Health Dept. Rescinds Freeze on $10 Billion for 5 Democratic States

After I led the Colorado delegation to demand its release, Colorado is finally getting the $300 million in social services funding the Trump Administration wrongfully withheld.

The reversal of the funding pause came after the administration faced repeated setbacks in a suit challenging the decision, which could have jeopardized programs for low-income households.

My thoughts are with the victim of last night's shooting and I hope they have a speedy recovery.

It is unacceptable that an ICE contractor shot a protester in Aurora last night. This incident demands a full accounting. It is also another reminder that ICE needs an overhaul and a change in leadership from the top down. We cannot allow this violence to become the new normal.

Colorado is the gold-standard for election security and voter trust. I will do everything in my power to preserve that, no matter what lie Donald Trump says next.

His obsession with conspiracy theories and false claims — which he has forced his nominees to repeat in confirmation hearings — is only being used to justify one thing: the SAVE America Act, a bill so unpopular his own party refuses to pass it.

Donald Trump’s speech tonight did nothing to safeguard our elections or strengthen our democracy.

The head of our intelligence community must be someone who will withstand inappropriate political influence. And the First Amendment should never be treated as a loophole. It’s the foundation of our Constitution and democracy.

Senators Grill Justice Dept. Officials on New York Times Subpoenas

This week, I questioned DNI nominee Jay Clayton on whether the White House directed his office to subpoena New York Times reporters after the publication of a story that allegedly upset President Trump.

Weatherization upgrades save families hundreds of dollars on utilities each year by dramatically improving the energy efficiency of their homes.

Colorado receives $5.8 million in federal weatherization assistance grants

After joining my colleagues to demand Trump's Department of Energy release Weatherization Assistance funding, Colorado is finally getting the $5.8 million it's owed to help lower utilities costs for the people who need it most.

Colorado has received nearly $6 million in federal funds through the Department of Energy's Weatherization Assistance Program after U.S. senators expressed worries about potential delays.

Our health care system fails Coloradans every day, leaving too many with high costs and fewer choices. My Medicare-X bill will achieve universal coverage in our country. Thanks to @repangiecraig.bsky.social for championing this fight in the House!

Rep. Angie Craig

🧵Today, I’m introducing my bicameral bill to kickstart Medicare for all who want it and ensure every American has access to affordable health coverage.

Congress must pass the GORP Act to make sure our kids and grandkids get to experience this incredible landscape as we do now.

For the first time – after more than a decade of grassroots work with seven bipartisan counties, Tribes, and a wide range of public lands users – the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee is taking up our GORP Act.

The Gunnison Basin's public lands are home to a legacy of ranching, critical wildlife habitat, and some of the best outdoor recreation Colorado has to offer.

We cannot stand for it. DHS and ICE must be overhauled. I'll keep fighting to make sure our immigration enforcement reflects our values and respects the dignity of every person.
