Trump and MAGA Republicans are no longer holding SNAP benefits hostage – now they're just waiting for their cuts to kick in.

Millions of families are still going to go hungry because of Republicans’ Big Bad Betrayal. We've got to fight back.

"We're talking about increases of more than 100% for 22 million Americans"

Can you afford to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars more each month for health care??

We're running out of time. Republicans need to step up and work with us to extend the ACA tax credits NOW.

Bottom line: Trump's tariffs are sending your grocery bill through the roof and small businesses down the drain.

The House finally voted to release the Epstein files. Now it's the Senate's turn.

I've known how I'll vote all along: to release ALL of the Epstein files. Americans deserve the truth.

Skyrocketing health care premiums are still at the forefront of Coloradans’ minds. Many folks may have to ditch their coverage altogether because they simply can't afford it.

That’s why we’re not backing down from fighting to lower these costs.
With no deal on health care subsidies, Coloradans face possibility of going without insurance next year
The fear comes as Senate Democrats voted to end the shutdown without a fix for an expiring tax credit that helps Coloradans buy health insurance on the marketplace.

Hitting the slopes just got more expensive as Trump’s tariff-taxes squash our outdoor industries. His trade war continues to put a massive strain on Colorado staples.

It’s National Hiking Day! 🥾🏔️ We love a good hike here in Colorado, but Trump and Republicans *hiking* up costs isn’t one of them.

We’re working to change that and make this beautiful state more affordable for everyone.

The largest investment in our nation’s infrastructure since the New Deal was signed into law 4 years ago today.

Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has created good-paying jobs and addressed our aging infrastructure – and there’s still more to come.

Starbucks is not a poor company – yet they refuse to negotiate in good faith with their own workers.

Proud to stand with Colorado workers striking for their right to organize and for better working conditions.

Trump and MAGA Republicans have been relentless and vindictive in their attacks against our public lands.

We must be united and do everything we can to protect and restore them.

Let’s be clear: our fight for affordable health care isn’t over. We’re going to use every tool we have to bring down costs. Full stop.

No sugarcoating it: Trump’s tariff-taxes are pulverizing Colorado’s small businesses across every industry.

Skyrocketing health care costs are also a horrendous problem for small businesses. Every American deserves to have health care – but Republicans are making it damn near impossible to afford.

House Republicans passed their spending bill last night and turned their backs on our nation’s health care crisis.

I was an emphatic no on a budget that does nothing to lower health care costs. But the fight isn’t over.

Lauren Boebert, don’t bend the knee to Trump. You are the deciding vote to either release the Epstein files or be complicit in the cover up. Coloradans deserve the truth.

The American people couldn’t be more clear: 98% of public comments OPPOSE rescinding the Public Lands Rule.

Spiking health care costs and soaring inflation are catapulting us further into an affordability crisis.

After a 7-week paid vacation, House Republicans have the opportunity to stand up and do the right thing by the American people. It’s not too late.

Donald Trump is hellbent on blocking SNAP benefits from reaching families who desperately need them.

All while sending billions of dollars abroad and pouring millions into a White House ballroom and luxury private jets. It’s shameful.

Today, and every other day, we owe a debt of gratitude to the brave veterans who have sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms.

We've got to keep working to build on our PACT Act and make sure every veteran gets the health care and benefits they’ve earned – and deserve.

10 years ago, we fought for the freedom to love who you love. And we won.

Today, love won again. 🏳️‍🌈

Last night, I voted NO on the Republicans' budget bill that failed to address the looming health care crisis they created.

We’ll never stop fighting for universal health care and lower costs. End of story.
