Had a great meeting with Senators from Indonesia's Regional Representative Council at World Denver today. I appreciated the thoughtful discussion about our experiences in public service and the importance of advancing health care for all.
Speaker Johnson’s current argument is “we are going to withhold SNAP benefits unless Democrats let us massively increase health care costs.” His orders from Trump are clear: enrich Trump’s family and billionaire donors by kicking millions off of Medicaid and stripping food assistance from children.
Donald Trump just imposed the lowest-ever cap on refugee admissions into our country. Immigrants make our country strong, and we should be a safe haven for those fleeing from conflict, persecution, famine, and other situations that make living in their homeland dangerous.
While House Republicans haven’t shown up to work in over a month, the hardworking men and women of the Capitol Police, Sergeant at Arms, & support staff are keeping us safe and maintaining operations. Lunch is a small token of gratitude to thank them for their tireless work while missing paychecks.

Glad to see Colorado fighting back with a lawsuit against the Trump administration withholding contingency SNAP funding. Trump and Ag Secretary Rollins must immediately release the funding to prevent an interruption of benefits for the 600,000 Coloradans who rely on SNAP each month.
Trump's shutdown is forcing 42 million Americans to lose access to SNAP benefits. Despite having the contingency funds available to maintain SNAP, Trump is actively refusing to provide those benefits. Colorado is stepping up, but families across the country will suffer because of his cruelty.
Thanks to Trump and House Republicans, Coloradans who receive their insurance through Connect for Health Colorado are going to see their premiums double. Trump said he had a “concept” of a plan, but the only action he’s taken has been to slash Medicaid and refuse to extend ACA premium support.
Thanks to everyone who attended my tele-town hall last night. As we continue to navigate this shutdown, I am committed to keeping you informed of our work to reopen the government and safeguard health care for all.
While Donald Trump is gutting the East Wing and buying private jets for his cabinet, Americans are getting slammed with skyrocketing insurance prices. It’s time for House Republicans to come back from their vacation so we can reopen the government and address the health care crisis they created.
Today, I joined @punchbowlnews.bsky.social to discuss efforts to advance commonsense health care policy—especially amid the shutdown. As the top Dem on the Health Subcommittee, I’ve spent my career fighting for health care reform.    Now, we need the GOP majority to actually join us in that effort.
Rather than come back to D.C. and work together to keep health care affordable and reopen the government, House Republicans are still on vacation. Enough is enough. It's time for them to come back to D.C. and find a path forward.
Let's make one thing clear: we are heading into a health care crisis of the GOP’s making. 300,000 people in Colorado alone are going to see massive increases because Republicans in Congress refuse to negotiate with Democrats.
Trump is using the shutdown to decimate the federal government & leave hardworking Americans without jobs. In Colorado alone, nearly 200 Interior jobs will be cut, putting our public lands and the people who protect them at risk. When will he stop treating public servants like political pawns?
As co-chair of the Congressional Study Group on Japan, I look forward to demonstrating our state’s values while working with Prime Minister Takaichi to strengthen US-Japan relations.
Japan’s historic election of its first woman Prime Minister has a special Colorado connection – Sanae Takaichi was a former intern of my predecessor Rep. Pat Schroeder, who was a champion for women & families throughout her career.
Great to join Colorado Legal Services last night and celebrate 100 years of CLS’s high-quality civil legal assistance to those who need it most. Colorado is stronger thanks to the tireless dedication of CLS staff, volunteers, and supporters.
Today, I joined CO Insurance Commissioner Conway & Connect for Health to sound the alarm on the insurance hikes hitting Coloradans this month. Wanting affordable care shouldn't be a partisan issue. It's time Republicans reopen the government & help us tackle this crisis with the urgency it demands.
