This weekend, I joined the Boulder community to honor the victims of the horrific Pearl Street Mall attack and shared a few words of hope at the 30th annual Boulder Jewish Festival. We all must recommit ourselves to ending the scourge of antisemitism and hatred.

Like millions of Americans, my family has been impacted by the terrible scourge of cancer. The Trump administration’s new CMS rule will be life-threatening for countless cancer patients on Medicaid across our country. They must reverse course — immediately.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govJun 5(source)

Tax cuts for billionaires, while gutting assistance programs for hard-working Americans. Unconscionable.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govJun 4(source)

Wildfires impact every community, which is why all levels of government need to work together to mitigate wildfire risks. Grateful that the House passed my bipartisan Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act, which does precisely that. We’ll keep pushing to get it across the finish line!

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govJun 3(source)

As some Republicans pursue cuts to programs for needy families — under the guise of combatting “fraud” — it bears repeating that they said nothing after the Trump administration rescinded a $100 million penalty on Mississippi in one of the worst TANF frauds in our country’s history.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govJun 2(source)

Back in D.C., and on the agenda this week for House Republicans? Massive cuts to programs that assist our farmers, ranchers, and communities in rural America — all while spending millions on President Trump’s vanity projects.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govJun 2(source)

The Trump administration’s cruel policies have harmed our immigrant communities in countless ways. Today, I'm proud to lead Colorado's House Democratic delegation with @bennet.senate.gov in introducing legislation that demands transparency and accountability. 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

🚨 BREAKING The Trump administration's attempt to transfer NCAR's supercomputing facility was blocked in federal court today. NCAR belongs to the American people, and we will keep pushing to make sure its world-renowned programs are not dismantled, privatized, or pushed out of Colorado.

Federal judge blocks Trump admin from dismantling Boulder weather lab, cites evidence of political retaliation against Colorado

A federal court halted the Trump administration's plan to strip NCAR of its supercomputer, finding it arbitrary and possibly retaliatory, related to Tina Peters

Today marks one year since the horrific attack on Pearl Street Mall in Boulder that devastated our community. Today, we stand with the victims and their families, and we reaffirm our commitment to ending the scourge of antisemitism in all forms.

The Boulder Tragedy One Year Later

A year since a man firebombed Jewish community members in Colorado, many still live in fear, writes Susan Rona.

“Rep. Neguse fought for these dollars by developing & strengthening coalitions across divides—both geographical and political.” “This is the good stuff that happens when you have serious, hard-working people all pulling in the same direction.” Onwards!

A major mission accomplished

The federal government’s release of $40 million to secure the Shoshone water rights in perpetuity ended some drama nobody on the Western Slope needed.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govMay 29(source)

Today, we learned in the New York Times that an “NPS analysis found that the contractor given a no-bid contract to repair the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is being paid an inflated and excessive profit margin.”

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govMay 29(source)

UPDATE — Last month I questioned the Secretary of Interior about the outrageous no-bid contracts from his department.

Thanks to the tireless advocacy of Jill and Michael White—who have courageously championed legislative reforms following the tragic loss of their incredible son, Magnus, to help prevent future tragedies—our proposal to make our roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians advanced out of committee.

Grateful to all of our talented student artists from across Colorado’s 2nd District for participating in the annual Congressional Art Competition — our community is deeply impressed by their creativity and incredible talent! 🎨🖼️

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govMay 27(source)

Grateful to everyone who joined Team Neguse last week at our Mobile Office Hours in Lyons! If you need assistance with federal agencies, including the IRS, VA, Social Security, etc., please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govMay 26(source)

Proud to have worked with Rep. Jeff Hurd, @bennet.senate.gov, @hickenlooper.senate.gov & countless local leaders to secure this critical funding for the Shoshone Permanency Project! The project will truly have a generational impact for the folks I represent on Colorado’s Western Slope. Onwards!

We must use every legal and legislative tool to prevent Trump’s $1.7 billion slush fund from becoming a reality — and we will.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.govMay 25(source)

Today, on Memorial Day, we honor our brave service-members who’ve made the ultimate sacrifice and given everything to defend our great nation and freedoms. We are forever in your debt. 🇺🇲
