There will be more fights, and I will stand firm against them, but caving to this fight will only greenlight Trump and Musk’s extreme policies and cause more harm for the American people.

I’m so proud to be a House Democrat since we held firm against Republicans’ partisan funding bill.
Democrats in Congress must persevere and continue to resist Trump & Musk’s destructive agenda.
He will be missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and everyone who knew him.
Raul Grijalva was a forceful advocate for this nation’s lands. When he became Chairman of the Natural Resources Committee, I asked him to come on one of my trips to the wilderness areas I am championing. He said, “Love, I don’t need to see it to protect it.”
That was Raul.
I called out the administration in letters and in committee over their unjust action to purge civil servants, and I will carry on this fight to hold them accountable.
We will continue to win these cases because what Trump and Elon are doing is illegal.
🚨 Another day, another court win. A federal judge just ordered Trump to immediately reinstate the federal workers he and Elon ILLEGALLY fired.
Senate Dems must reject Republicans’ extreme partisan funding bill.
The American people want us to fight back against this reckless agenda – business as usual only enables Elon Musk and Trump to continue their raid on our government.
🚨 Colorado just joined 19 other states in suing Trump and Education Secretary Linda McMahon over their illegal gutting of the Department of Education.
Proud that Colorado and AG Weiser are helping lead the charge against Trump’s attack on our students and teachers.
Even worse, Trump & Elon will claim that these are "savings" and use the money that goes towards federal student aid and special education to give tax cuts to their billionaire friends.
I will not stand for this.
Overnight, Donald Trump decided to illegally slash the Department of Education.
This is blatant executive overreach that will destroy public education, set students back, and reduce resources available for teachers.
I voted NO on House Republicans’ funding bill that gives Trump and Elon a blank check to continue their crusade of chaos and confusion.
House Democrats will not be complicit in this assault on programs like Medicaid, Social Security, VA benefits and more that millions of Americans rely on.
Trump and Secretary Kennedy are helping measles win.
CU Anschutz is one of the institutions doing the critical work to understand and address vaccine hesitancy, and their work will stop because of the Trump/Kennedy war on public health.
Legal residents should not be arrested or detained for simply exercising their constitutional rights.
As a former civil rights attorney, I believe this sets our nation down a dark path where Trump and his cronies can detain anyone who disagrees with the administration. 2/2
Mahmoud Khalil should be released immediately.
His arrest is deeply concerning and will have a chilling effect on Americans’ right to free speech. 1/2

Across the nation, voting rights are under attack by the likes of Trump & his extreme followers. I will never strip Americans of their right to vote. Not now. Not ever. Proud to cosponsor the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to stop these attacks—60 yrs after Lewis’s historic march in Selma.
Measles has infected 140+ people in Texas. Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is recommending cod liver oil as a treatment.
Dems on the Health Subcommittee demanded a meeting w/ Secretary Kennedy by tomorrow. We’ve heard nothing back. We need serious, responsive leadership to address these public health threats.
House Republicans are lying to the American people. They want to slash your health care so they can give tax cuts to billionaires.
As the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I’m fighting like hell to stop them.
Instead of letting Elon Musk slash and burn the federal government, Trump should be working to lower costs and make life better for my constituents.
Unfortunately, last night’s address showed Trump would rather wreak havoc and bully people opposed to him than solve problems.
