We do not have a king in our country, no matter how highly Donald Trump regards himself. Read my statement after the Trump administration froze virtually all federal funding ⬇️
Donald Trump’s reckless and unconstitutional action to freeze essentially all federal spending is going to hurt ALL Americans in both red and blue states. The American people did not vote for this. We do not have a king in our country, no matter how highly Donald Trump regards himself.
His administration is holding up Congressionally-approved bipartisan funding, and it’s going to make life harder for American families across our country and abroad. Just this morning, my office has received calls from a father who is concerned about if his daughter will be able to go to her HeadStart program tomorrow, a researcher at CU Anschutz who is worried about whether her work on life-saving treatments and cures will be able to continue, and a leader of an organization who won’t be able to pay his staff working to rebuild emerging democracies around the world.
Nothing about these latest actions will help to lower the cost-of-living for my constituents or anyone in the United States, and it will even worsen the affordability crisis we are experiencing. These actions set a dangerous precedent that erodes our system of checks and balances. The administration must reverse course immediately.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish people who were killed during the Holocaust. We must continue our fight against antisemitism and ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never minimized or forgotten. #NeverAgain
Yet again, Trump is pardoning those convicted of violent crimes. Americans have had the right to visit abortion clinics—free from threats or violence—for over 30 years. As @reprocaucus.bsky.social co-chair, I will not stand by as Trump & the GOP bend the law for their own beliefs.
House Republicans want to gut Medicaid, which provides essential services for vulnerable Americans, to make people like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk even richer. The American people deserve more than being shoved aside for the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations.
Donald Trump promised to lower costs, but instead, he reversed Biden's executive order to lower prescription drug costs for Americans. Yet again, Trump is siding with special interests over Americans struggling with high drug prices. He’s not serious about tackling this crisis.
On his first day in office, Trump pardoned hundreds of felons who assaulted Capitol police officers. House Republicans welcome these violent criminals back to our streets. No one who respects law enforcement can support these outrageous pardons. It's a disgrace.
ACOSTA: Do you agree with Trump's decision to pardon violent people? REP. BURCHETT: If they were truly violent, no. But I don't know that? ACOSTA: What do you mean you don't know? We're showing the footage right now.
This is the reality of Trump’s destruction of Roe — even in states like Colorado that enshrined abortion access in our constitution, women feel deep uncertainty. As @reprocaucus.bsky.social co-chair, I won't stop fighting until reproductive freedom is federally protected & guaranteed for all.
The American people want bipartisan action to make life more affordable. Trump’s day-one agenda does nothing to lower costs for families. He’s stoking fear and chaos, and he’s showing his true colors by disregarding those who elected him. Read my full statement on Trump's Executive Orders.⬇️
She was fiercely committed to these issues until the very end, & we must continue in her example to stand up against efforts to strip away these hard fought rights. My thoughts are with Cecile’s family during this difficult time. May the love & respect she has left in all of us be a comfort to them.
I’m deeply saddened to hear of Cecile Richards’ passing. Cecile was my friend and a longtime champion for reproductive freedom who worked tirelessly to advance gender equality. Eight years ago, we stood side by side, continuing our fight for women’s rights.
Today, we remember the enduring legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. May his fight for justice motivate us to continue the march toward justice, equality, and opportunity for all.
I’m honored to welcome Japanese Consul General Hiroyuki Okajima to Denver. As co-chair of the Congressional Study Group on Japan, I’m committed to strengthening the vital partnership between our two nations.
For too long, equality has been promised but not fully delivered. That's why I’ve fought in Congress to get the Equal Rights Amendment over the finish line and enshrine gender equality in the Constitution. I agree with President Biden that it's past time to make the ERA the law of the land.
Over 30 years ago, the FDA banned Red 3 in cosmetics due to cancer risks. Today, I am glad to see the Biden Admin’s decision to remove Red 3 from foods, drugs, & supplements —a step my colleagues and I urged the FDA to take—keeping our children safe & our food free of cancer-causing chemicals.
🚨 House Republicans plan to cut nearly $3 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid, & the ACA. If they get their way, hundreds of thousands of Coloradoans will lose their health care—all so CEOs & billionaires get bigger tax breaks. I will do whatever it takes to protect affordable care for every American.
🚨 I am honored to serve as the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee for the 119th Congress. In this new role, I remain focused on lowering health care costs, delivering innovative cures and treatments to patients, and making sure the health care system works for every American.
One of the first bills House Republicans are pushing in 2025? An attack on trans kids. This isn’t problem-solving—it’s political games. Congress should be focused on lowering the cost of living, not culture wars.
