For 60 years, Medicare & Medicaid have helped Americans live longer, healthier lives. Yet the Big Bad Bill slashes these vital programs and rips care from 240,000 Coloradans alone. I will not stop fighting against Trump’s extreme agenda and reversing these devastating cuts.
Congress gives NIH funding to support lifesaving research & groundbreaking treatments. Russ Vought and OMB have no authority to override that with the stroke of a pen. There must be accountability for this directive, and Vought must answer to Congress—and the people—for this reckless overreach.
As a longtime advocate for bold environmental policy, I’ll fight these short-sighted moves every step of the way. We owe it to future generations to stand up to polluters and defend our planet.
The EPA should be using every tool it has to fight climate change and protect public health—not walking away from its responsibility because of partisan politics. Gutting this finding ignores the overwhelming science of climate change, opens the door to more pollution, and puts lives at risk.
Glad these school funds are finally being restored—but they never should’ve been frozen. I joined my colleagues in demanding the Trump Admin unfreeze these critical dollars for our schools and will continue to push back against their chaos in court.
Trump touted lowering tariffs on Japan to 15% as a 'massive deal.’ But 15% is not a 'deal' at all. As co-chair of the Study Group on Japan, I'm sounding the alarm on the diplomatic & economic damage his reckless tariffs are causing in the region. Read my full op-ed with @bera.house.gov‬ below. ⬇️
Five years ago, I helped pass the FDA’s streamlined over-the-counter medicines program, ensuring the products in Americans' medicine cabinets are safe, effective, & accessible. Today, my bill to reauthorize this program passed out of committee, ensuring the FDA can continue its important work.
NIH has long been the gold standard of biomedical research worldwide, but under the Trump Administration, that leadership is at risk. My resolution with @repauchincloss.bsky.social & @raskin.house.gov‬ recognizes the vital role of America’s scientific community and its leadership in innovation.
Today we introduced the EACH Act to end the Hyde Amendment that denies families across the country coverage for abortion care. Grateful for the partnership of @degette.house.gov, @schakowsky.house.gov, @frost.house.gov, @duckworth.senate.gov, @murray.senate.gov @hirono.senate.gov & Rep. Barbara Lee.
The verdict is in: the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirmed the Big Bad Bill will add $3.4 trillion to the deficit and leave 10 million Americans uninsured— all to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires. Trump calls his law 'beautiful'. I call it a disaster.
Great meeting with Mari, a student from Denver living with type 1 diabetes and serving as our district’s Children’s Congress delegate. Her advocacy inspires my work as co-chair of the Diabetes Caucus—for affordable insulin, research, and a cure.
The U.S. has been at the forefront of developing life-saving drugs. But under the Trump Admin, our leadership is slipping. Slashing NIH & FDA funding means fewer new cures, longer wait times, & more lives at risk. I am fighting every day to stop Trump’s attacks on science before it's too late.
Health care costs will spike next year because of the Big Bad Bill. While Democrats fought to extend coverage and lower costs, Republicans chose to walk away, letting millions get kicked off their insurance & costs to skyrocket. Once again, Americans will suffer because of this horrific bill.
Congressional Republicans continue to cave to Donald Trump—and this time, it will cost lives. The cuts to USAID will eliminate lifesaving programs, while cuts to public broadcasting will threaten emergency alert systems. I voted NO against this catastrophic bill.
In June, @aoc.bsky.social, @chuygarcia.house.gov, and I sent a letter demanding answers from HHS after reports that Medicaid enrollee data was being shared with DHS. We won’t stand by while the Trump Administration weaponizes public health data to target immigrant communities.
The Trump Admin is hellbent on invading Americans’ privacy to hit a dystopian deportation quota. The agreement between ICE & CMS to turn over access to the personal data of 79 million Medicaid enrollees is a gross breach of trust and must be stopped immediately.
It's been less than two weeks since the Big Bad Bill was made law & Colorado insurers already proposed 28% rate hikes on average. That's 300,000 Coloradans whose rates will go up because of Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans. Safe to say this bill is a complete disaster.
