Rather than increasing efficiency, RFK Jr. and his lackeys are just layering on bureaucratic red tape and inserting politics into science. He’s making it harder for lifesaving research into diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s to continue.

I strongly support the NIH workers calling on Republican senators to restore Congress’s longtime bipartisan support for researching cancer, dementia, and other diseases.
This should not be a partisan issue. All of us must stand on the side of science, cures, and treatments.
#EarthDay is a reminder of the importance of protecting our planet and keeping it healthy for future generations.
I will always fight for conservation & protecting Colorado’s beautiful public lands, even as this administration & Republicans in Congress put oil and gas interests before our planet.
I am deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Pope Francis.
Pope Francis led the Catholic Church with humility, empathy, and determination to make the church more welcoming. He was a truly modern pope, and his papacy will be remembered for his love and faith.
May he rest in peace.
That’s why I reintroduced the Keep Americans Safe Act to reinstate a nationwide ban on these weapons of war.
Enough is enough. (2/2)
It's been 26 years since 14 people were killed at Columbine HS, yet high-capacity magazines continue tearing families & communities apart.
No more “thoughts and prayers.” We need to pass commonsense gun safety measures now. (1/2)
Happy Easter to all in Denver.
May you enjoy a celebratory day with loved ones.
Last week, House Republicans greenlit gutting vital programs like Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.
That's over 150k Denverites who could lose this lifeline.
As the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I will fight with every fiber of my being to stop their extreme & cruel agenda.
Due process is a cornerstone of our democracy.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s deportation is part of a troubling pattern of civil rights violations and disregard for the Constitution by the Trump administration.
It’s time to stop these unlawful abductions and make Trump and his cronies follow the law.
"Eliminating such a large portion of the HHS workforce will put the lives of millions of Americans at risk as lifesaving cures and treatments are pushed further into the future & public health takes a back seat to personal grievance & paranoia."

To everyone celebrating Passover in Denver, I want to wish you all a peaceful and meaningful holiday.
Chag Sameach!
Last week, I held a listening session with Denverites who rely on Medicaid, and one thing is absolutely clear: it saves lives. (2/2)
Here are their stories.👇
House Republicans passed a budget resolution that tasks my committee with slashing $880 billion from our jurisdiction. This means gutting Medicaid.
I won’t support this cruel proposal. (1/2)
The SAVE Act is Trump’s blatant voter suppression bill.
It would bar military personnel, voters of color, & over 70 million married women, including +1 million in CO, from their constitutional right to vote.
I’ll vote NO every time until this undemocratic, illegal bill is off the table for good.
In Denver, over 161K of my constituents could lose their Medicaid benefits & over 123K could lose much-needed food assistance.
This rushed, sloppy move is to fulfill Trump's “one, big, beautiful bill” demand—backed by Musk, not the American people.
I won’t support it & neither should Congress.
House Republicans just passed a budget that sets the stage for devastating cuts to Medicaid & SNAP—all so they can fund huge tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans & corporations.
Their plan demands $880 billion in “savings” from my committee, but the math only works by gutting health care.
Not only have we heard nothing from RFK Jr., but he still refuses to meet with us.
His failure to respond is a dereliction of duty.
It’s past time the Secretary answers to Congress.
I went to HHS this morning, alongside my Health Subcommittee colleagues, to demand a meeting with Secretary Kennedy face-to-face.
It’s been nearly 2 months since we requested a meeting to discuss the devastating impacts of his agency-wide cuts and the withholding of critical health funding.
