🚨 The Supreme Court just REJECTED Trump's emergency bid to cancel $2 billion in USAID funding. The courts are stopping this administration's shameful efforts to usurp Congressional authority, and more legal action is coming.

NEW: The Supreme Court 's ruling, upholding an order requiring USAID to pay out ~$2 billion in unpaid foreign aid bills, is an incremental win for contractors. Now it's up to Judge Ali to recalibrate deadlines for the payment. w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Oversight Republicans are using today’s hearing to score cheap political points, but Mayor Johnston is standing tall. I’m proud of Mayor Johnston’s composure and demeanor as he sets the record straight on immigration, and he has my complete support against these partisan attacks. (1/2)

Tonight, Trump lied, insulted the American people, and bullied those opposed to him. It’s because of him that costs are skyrocketing, the stock market is crashing, & our adversaries are laughing. His actions are dangerous & shameful, and I will fight his disgraceful agenda every step of the way.

Rep. Diana Degette (D-CO) about decision to skip Trump address to Congress "His barrage of illegal attacks against public servants & vulnerable groups, have disgraced & embarrassed our country. His actions are beneath the office of the President and do not merit my attendance at this Joint Address"

The House GOP is hellbent on gutting safety net programs like Social Security, Medicare, & Medicaid to give tax cuts to billionaires. That’s why I joined +200 House Dems on a letter to Speaker Johnson making one thing clear: We will never support these cuts & do everything in our power to stop them.
Progressives, New Democrats Unite in Call to Speaker Johnson: Hands Off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid
“Such cuts would push countless elderly Americans out of senior homes and deprive essential health and dental care to millions of Americans of modest incomes, taking those cuts to give away trillions…

Trump’s shameful and embarrassing attacks against our allies, our institutions, and vulnerable groups since returning to the White House have disgraced our country. He has acted beneath the Office of the President, and his actions do not merit my attendance at the Joint Address.

Trump is planning massive SSA cuts, gutting an already understaffed agency & forcing office closures nationwide. In Colorado alone, 1 in 6 residents rely on these benefits to stay afloat. For them and the millions of Americans who rely on Social Security, we cannot let him dismantle it.

Texas's abortion ban hurts more than Texans. Care for Coloradoans has been delayed due to out-of-state patients, causing second-trimester abortions to spike. As @reprocaucus.bsky.social co-chair, I'm fighting for reproductive care nationwide because just one ban affects us all.
Texas abortion ban forced more Coloradans into second-trimester procedures
While much of the focus has been on Texans flooding Colorado abortion clinics, a new study reveals broader ripples that impacted residents of a state where abortion remains legal.

Denver imports $5.6 billion worth of goods from Canada annually, so steep tariffs on Canada will hit Denver hard. That means higher prices for agricultural products, energy, & construction materials as families already struggle with costs. Denverites shouldn’t pay the price for Trump’s trade wars.

Trump: "Tomorrow, tariffs -- 25 percent on Canada and 25 percent on Mexico. And that'll start."

During Women’s History Month, we honor the women who have shaped our lives, shattered glass ceilings, and made an invaluable impact in Colorado and across our country. As a member of the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social I honor this history by continuing to fight for women’s rights today and always.

Ramadan marks a sacred time of faith and community. To those celebrating in Denver and across the world, Ramadan Mubarak. As you come together this month, whether it’s for prayer or spending time with loved ones, I hope it's filled with meaningful reflection.

The behavior of Trump & Vance towards President Zelensky is shocking, disrespectful, and unAmerican. Ukraine is defending its sovereignty against an aggressive adversary, and the US must stand with 🇺🇦 against Putin’s invasion. Unfortunately, the only person happy about how this played out is Putin.

From Aurora to Boulder to Columbine, Coloradoans know the toll of high-capacity magazines. They enable shooters to inflict more damage and kill more innocent people. Americans deserve a Congress that acts decisively to protect their safety, and we must deliver on that promise.
Rep. Diana DeGette@degette.house.govFeb 27(source)
High-capacity gun magazines enable dangerous individuals to unleash a rapid hail of bullets, turning any public space into a potential warzone. That's why I'm reintroducing the Keep Americans Safe Act to reinstate a national ban on high-capacity magazines.
DeGette, Titus, Schneider, Hirono, and Blumenthal reintroduce bill to ban high-capacity gun magazines

Trump’s newest executive order bans almost all purchasing at NIH—cutting off funding for cancer trials, patient care, and life-saving research. This isn’t about “waste.” It’s about sabotage. Trump & Elon Musk are decimating American global health leadership.

Over 2,300 Interior employees have been fired in Colorado—public servants who protect our lands & conserve wildlife. I joined my CO Democratic colleagues in urging the DOI to reverse these harmful cuts and reinstate these workers who are essential to protecting our public lands and communities.
