Congresswoman for CO's 1st District. Lifelong Denverite. Proud mom. Running to expand abortion access, environmental justice and opportunity in our community.
Had a great meeting with the Denver Young Dems last night.

We had an energizing conversation about this week's big Democratic wins and what’s ahead as we keep building momentum for 2025 and beyond.

Great to join Colorado Black Round Table at the Zions Senior Center for No Kings Day to talk about what’s at stake for our democracy, our freedoms, and our future.

Republicans delayed the fallout of their Big Bad Bill until after the election because they know voters would never accept it.

We see through the game, and we can take action next November.

Standing strong in Denver today at the No Kings rally, making our voices heard loud and clear.

Trump’s authoritarianism won’t silence us.

We’re in this fight for democracy—and we will prevail.

215 House Republicans voted to slash Medicaid — a move that could kick nearly 16 million Americans off their health care.

This isn't fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty, plain and simple.

Trump’s "First 100 Days" project? DOGE, A chaotic crusade led by Elon Musk.

DOGE is destroying Social Security, which Musk has called a “Ponzi scheme,” and where his minions are making it impossible for 25% of Coloradoans who count on Social Security to get the benefits they have earned.

For months, I’ve been sounding the alarm: cuts to Medicaid would devastate Colorado.

See what’s at stake for Coloradoans if Republicans gut Medicaid. ⬇️

Nothing says “fiscal responsibility” like jacking up fees on working people while plotting to slash Social Security & Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks.

Democrats aren’t having it. We’re fighting to stop big banks & their GOP enablers from squeezing every last dime out of hardworking Americans.

Now that this portrait is being taken down after Trump's tantrum, maybe he can start focusing on what Coloradans want—lower costs and protecting our public lands.

We've got bigger issues to tackle than his vanity.

Thank you, @aoc.bsky.social for the heartfelt shoutout at yesterday’s rally. Your powerful voice and tireless advocacy for equitable healthcare inspire us all. Together, we’ll keep pushing to make quality, affordable care a reality for every American. I am proud to stand with you in this fight!

Trump promised other countries would pay his tariffs—but as prices continue to rise, it's American families who end up paying more.

Meanwhile, Trump and Elon are pushing tax cuts for the wealthy.

We can’t let this burden fall on those struggling to make ends meet.

Colorado’s workers deserve a fair shot at forming a union—without unnecessary obstacles.

Proud to join Brittany Pettersen in supporting the Worker Protection Act because when workers win, our economy grows.

While Trump touts his crypto schemes, he's working overtime to slash Social Security, putting benefits at risk for millions of retired and disabled Americans—a complete disregard for this lifesaving system and the people it serves.
March 4, 2025 at 2:20 PM
Trump promised to lower costs. But, less than a month into his presidency, he hasn't lifted a finger to bring down prices.

And the American people are noticing.

Instead, he's busy cheering on Elon as he guts consumer protections—and now he’s coming for Medicaid, Medicare, & Social Security.
