Elon and DOGE are stealing $250 million from Colorado that supports mental health services, substance abuse recovery, and crisis resolution teams. This is going to have significant consequences for the people of Colorado. That’s why I am fighting to stop DOGE from raiding Colorado.
Colorado losing $250 million in federal funding for health services
The state had already budgeted the money for things like crisis response teams and childhood vaccines.

DOGE’s HHS cuts will harm national biosecurity, stop cures for cancer, & leave Americans unable to access much-needed care. They're firing people who oversee cancer research & outbreak prevention while slashing 20% of the workforce. Sec. Kennedy & DOGE’s illegal attacks on public health must stop.
Live updates: HHS will lay off 10,000 employees as part of a major restructuring plan
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Wednesday that U.S. President Donald Trump’s auto tariffs are a “direct attack” on his country and that the trade war is hurting Americans, noting that…

Over 1 million Coloradoans rely on Medicaid—their sensitive health care information must be protected from the illegal schemes of Elon Musk & DOGE. My DOGE POUND Act would put an end to the Trump Admin's gross overstep of power & keep them from meddling in Americans’ health care and private data.
DeGette, Goldman, Carter, Pressley, and Sánchez Introduce Legislation to Protect Americans’ Health Data
WASHINGTON D.C. — Today, Congresswoman Diana DeGette (CO-01) along with Reps.

76% of Americans want to keep or expand Medicaid because they know it helps pay for their health care. But Republicans are trying to make accessing essential care harder – even kicking current beneficiaries off their plan.

The level of incompetence shown by the Sec. of Defense & National Security Advisor is staggering. There must be accountability from the top down. Pete Hegseth & Michael Waltz must resign, & there must be an investigation into whether DNI Director Gabbard & CIA Director Ratcliffe committed perjury.
Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govMar 25(source)
Someone needs to lose their job over the staggering level of incompetence shown by senior officials of the Trump administration. Whether it is Secretary Hegseth or National Security Advisor Waltz, there MUST be accountability.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the Social Security Administration and causing chaos for the 1 in 6 Coloradans who rely on their Social Security benefits to pay the bills. I am fighting to stop these cuts and protect Social Security.

Now negotiations must resume immediately to stop further violence, release all remaining hostages, and ensure that both Israelis and Palestinians can live with lasting freedom and security.

Too many innocent lives have been lost in the Middle East since Hamas’ brutal attack against our ally Israel in October 2023. The ceasefire agreed to in January paved a path forward to peace.

🚨 Fantastic news: a federal judge just ordered Trump and Elon to restore USAID’s functionality. The judge said their attack on USAID “likely violated the United States Constitution in multiple ways.” What Trump, Elon and their DOGE cronies are doing is illegal, and the courts are stopping them.

House Republicans are selling out their constituents to give tax cuts to billionaires, like Elon Musk. They passed a budget that will force massive cuts to Medicaid, impacting tens of thousands of Denverites.
Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govMar 16(source)
Donald Trump is attempting to use a 227-year-old law to carry out his cruel and reckless immigration policy, even though a federal judge blocked his initial order. Our immigrant community in Colorado deserves more than the fear and bigotry that Trump and his cronies are stoking nationwide.

I’m deeply saddened to hear that former Rep. Nita Lowey passed away. She was a great friend and colleague, a champion for the people of New York, and a fierce defender of reproductive freedom. My prayers are with her friends and family during this sad time.
