As the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee, I’m fighting to keep care accessible and affordable and to protect institutions like the CDC, CU Anschutz, and Denver Health. Senate Republicans may have let RFK Jr. slide—but I won’t.
Throughout his confirmation, it was clear that RFK Jr.’s views on public health, including vaccines, reproductive rights, & core health programs, were dangerous. I’ll work with HHS to expand care and protect Medicare & Medicaid. But I won’t let his inexperience and extremism put Americans at risk.
🚨 Honored to join the Litigation Working Group to investigate Trump and Musk’s illegal efforts to dismantle our government from within. Their attacks on federal agencies won’t go unchecked—we will hold them accountable.
Elon Musk spent nearly $300 million on the election to become the most powerful man in Washington, and now the State Department is going to give him $400 million for armored Tesla cars. Sounds like waste, fraud, and abuse to me.
Donald Trump promised to bring down inflation & costs on day one. Instead, inflation is up. Egg prices are up. And the cost of living continues to rise. Trump and Republicans need to stop working overtime to make the rich richer and get serious about supporting hardworking families.
House Republicans just released a budget proposal that would gut Medicaid and food stamps to pay for $4.5 trillion (or more!) in tax cuts for billionaires. That’s on top of adding $3.3 trillion to the deficit. So much for fiscal responsibility.
Glad to meet with EPA employees from the Denver region this afternoon. Their work is critical to ensuring we all breathe clean air & drink clean water. I’ll always fight to ensure they—and federal employees everywhere—can keep doing their jobs, no matter Trump’s attempts to gut these vital agencies.
Russell Vought, an Elon crony & acting CFPB director, has shut down the agency—jeopardizing our progress on everything from junk fees to medical debt to credit reports. The CFPB is supposed to have your back. Now, every American is vulnerable—all to help Trump and his corruptor-in-chief, Elon.
🚨 A federal judge just ruled that the Trump administration is violating his order to lift the unconstitutional blanket spending freeze. The courts are working to stop Trump’s illegal actions, and I’ll keep pushing to hold this administration accountable.
NEW: A federal judge ruled Monday that the Trump administration was violating his order to lift the blanket spending freeze on federal programs, ordering immediate release of funds and hinting at possibility of contempt. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
🚨 Overnight, a federal judge blocked Elon Musk and DOGE from accessing any sensitive Treasury payment records. This will help protect your data and keep it out of the hands of unelected and unqualified DOGE staff.
NEWS: A federal judge issued a sweeping overnight block on Musk's DOGE team from accessing Treasury's payment system, warning of possible hacks or compromises. His order limits access only to officials w security clearances/training/need-to-know. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...
By blocking access to President Musk’s financial disclosures, this government continues to be for billionaires, and by billionaires. This is corruption in plain sight.
Families shouldn’t have to choose between their health or their house just because it’s close to a drilling site. I spoke in opposition to the Protecting American Energy Production Act because we can’t allow Big Oil to keep abusing loopholes that put profit over public health.
🚨 A federal judge just blocked Elon Musk and his cronies from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems and data. We won't let Elon run unimpeded through the federal government, and I won't stop calling out this administration's corruption.
BREAKING: Federal judge in D.C. blocks Musk from accessing sensitive Treasury Department systems and records. More to come. Order: www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/u...
With the consent ofthe parties, the Court DEFERS RULING on the Plaintiffs' [8] Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order and ORDERS as follows:
•
records maintained by or within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, except that the Defendants may provide access to any of the following people:
o Mr. Tom Krause, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the Treasury, as needed for the performance of his duties, provided that such access to payment records will be "read only";
o Mr. Marko Elez, a Special Government Employee in the Department of the Treasury, as needed for the performance ofhis duties, provided that such access to payment records will be "read only";
o Any person who is an employee (but not a Special Government Employee) of the Department of the Treasury and who has a need for the record or system of records in the performance of their duties;
During my first hearing as the top Dem on the Health Subcommittee, I shared how my constituents are rightfully worried about Elon Musk's direct access to the Medicare & Medicaid systems. This is massive overreach by an unelected billionaire. Where is the GOP’s outrage? Their silence is shameful.
I’m at the Department of Labor demanding accountability for shadow president Elon Musk. His interests don’t just conflict with hardworking Americans—they undermine it. His impunity has gone too far. It’s time to get this unelected, out-of-touch billionaire out of Washington.
🚨 Legal action has been filed against Trump’s Department of Justice. FBI agents are suing to block the DOJ from assembling lists of agents who worked on January 6 cases. We’re fighting back against the blatantly political actions of the Trump admin.
My Democratic colleagues just tried to subpoena unelected billionaire Elon Musk, but House Republicans blocked it. We must hold Elon Musk accountable, especially since my Republican colleagues are complicit in these assaults on our government.
NEW: I just moved to subpoena Elon Musk to appear before the Oversight Committee to answer for his unlawful takeover of agencies across the government. Republicans blocked my motion without allowing any debate. They will stop at nothing to cover up Elon Musk's lawlessness.
🚨 Trump's unconstitutional assault on birthright citizenship has been blocked nationwide by a federal judge. His disdain for the Constitution is being blocked, and we will keep fighting until he backs down.
BREAKING: Federal judge in Maryland grants nationwide preliminary injunction against Trump executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship. Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee, says order is likely 'unconstitutional.' More to come....
