This is Malakai from Littleton, CO. At just three years old, he was diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder.
Thanks to Medicaid, he’s received life-saving surgeries and therapies that private insurance wouldn’t cover – and he’s thriving today because of it.

Today, I joined two resolutions that reaffirm what our Constitution makes very clear: only Congress has the power to authorize war – not a single person.
My full statement:
Thank you to @govofco.bsky.social and CO HCPF for joining me and to the leaders representing our community health centers and behavioral health providers who serve the most vulnerable Coloradans.
Republicans’ budget doesn’t include work requirements – it includes paperwork requirements that are designed to kick people off the healthcare they rely on. It will force us to fire health care workers like doctors and nurses and hire bureaucrats instead.
June is Pride Month! 🌈
Everyone deserves to be exactly who they are and love who they love without fear or discrimination.
The LGBTQ+ community continues to be a target of the far-right. I promise to continue to keep fighting back alongside you.
Happy Father's Day to all the dads & father figures out there! I am grateful to my husband who is an amazing partner & father. Davis & Sam are lucky to have such a loving and supportive dad. There’s nothing harder or better than being a parent & I’m thankful to be doing it alongside you.
I’m so deeply sorry to the families and loved ones of State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife as they receive care. There is no place for this in our country.
This is tragic and terrifying. Political violence undermines the foundation of our democracy. We settle our disagreements at the ballot box, not with violence.

Coloradans: if you’re planning to protest today’s authoritarian-style military parade, remember: remain peaceful & know your rights.
We stand up & speak out without resorting to the tactics of the Trump administration. No violence & no intimidation.
We should all be horrified by the brazen lawlessness we’re seeing from the Trump administration right now.
This week, I voted against just latest attempt by the Trump administration to weaponize law enforcement to carry out his dangerous, anti-immigrant agenda.
Full statement:
@coloradopublic.bsky.social keeps Coloradans informed on what's happening in Congress & across the world.
Now more than, people need access to unbiased sources of news and information.
But Republicans are gutting funding that will leave it hard for public media to survive.
I hope that Jax’s family gets answers and the people responsible are held accountable. My heart goes out to Jax’s family and loved ones.
Isn't DOGE supposed to be saving us money...

For our mountain communities, tourism is everything.
The pain these businesses are feeling is the result of one person’s actions - Trump.

Across my district, I've heard from businesses who are struggling with skyrocketing material costs and a steep decline in tourism.
This is a direct consequence of Trump’s reckless attacks on our allies and his destructive trade war.
In the wake of this devastating event, members from my team joined the Boulder community for a vigil to honor those impacted. Together, we stand united against hate and violence.
The attack out of Boulder was absolutely horrific. Unfortunately, acts of terror like this one don’t occur in a vacuum.
Words matter. A disturbing rise in antisemitic rhetoric across the globe paved the way for incidents like this.
That’s why I’m proud to introduce bipartisan legislation to help them access their VA loans, a hard-earned benefit that helps put homeownership & financial stability within reach for these brave men and women.
