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.
"Dear @senmullin.bsky.social, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn..[and 6 others]" "These hastily-executed NIH contract cuts will damage medical research for diseases like cancer&dementia..." "It would be taking the side of cancer to do nothing to stop [the cuts]" Letter sent to R Senators:
To: The Republican Senate caucus, including Senators Mullin, Capito, Cassidy, Collins, Cornyn, Blackburn, Tillis, Lankford, Tim Scott, Rick Scott, and Sullivan (see quotes below)
Dear Senators:
Earlier this month, the Trump administration confirmed ordering NIH and HHS to eliminate 35% of all contracts', amounting to a $2.6 billion cut to NIH?. We write to inform you that these cuts will damage vital clinical care and medical research, conducted at NIH and funded by NIH at centers across the country. Despite what the Trump administration's political employees claim, there is no way to implement these cuts without damaging the NIH mission to understand biology and to understand, prevent, and treat disease and improve human health.
All Americans are touched by diseases like stroke, cancer, and Alzheimer's that NIH works to prevent and cure. NIH has been a worldwide beacon and powerful leader in this research. Currently, this work is under attack from the Trump administration, notably but
#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.
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)
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." See my op-ed with Fred Upton on @washingtonpost.com ↓
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.
Measles is a highly contagious disease, & Colorado just confirmed its second case. Yet Secretary Kennedy continues to downplay the threat and dodge meetings with me and my colleagues on the Health Subcommittee. Coloradoans' lives are at risk, & our top health leaders are failing to meet the moment.
