Your Democratic delegation from Colorado is demanding answers! These intimidation tactics are unacceptable and dangerous. They will not be tolerated in our state or country.

Last night, I cast my YES vote on a resolution to curb the Trump administration’s war powers in Venezuela — but the measure fell short in a 215–215 tie. Every House Dem showed up and voted YES. Democrats are doing the work to hold this administration accountable. We must keep raising our voices!

Wonderful to join thousands of my fellow Denverites at the 40th annual MLK Marade.

“We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back.” -Martin Luther King Jr

Sen. James Coleman and I joined the Greater Ministerial Alliance for their annual service to honor Rev Martin Luther King Jr..

All of us together must continue our fight for a more just and compassionate future, especially at this moment.

Judge blocks Trump administration from withholding social safety net funding to Colorado, 4 other states In Colorado, the frozen funds amount to more than $300 million meant to help with child care, social services and low-income families.

This is why we never stop fighting! The courts agreed that this action is illegal.

Here's what to know about the unprecedented changes to child vaccine recommendations U.S. health officials have made unprecedented changes to childhood vaccine recommendations, alarming pediatricians and other medical experts

This reckless change by RFK Jr, Trump and their hand picked anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists is gambling with the lives and health of all Americans. We should not allow decades of evidence based decisions to be abandoned.

Activist Jeanette Vizguerra granted bond and will be released from immigration custody Vizguerra has been in the U.S. for almost three decades.

Jeanette Vizguerra’s detention is an example of the Trump administration’s bigoted immigration policy. While they claim to be going after the worst criminals, instead they are going after moms and advocates in our community like Jeanette. I'm happy to see Jeanette is going to be with her family.

Did you watch Trump's speech the other night?! His attempted damage control just looked nuts.

Unacceptable! Republicans are driving up costs from health care to groceries.

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress are still trying to raise the cost of your health care. One simple thing we can all do is extend the ACA subsidies and they still aren't acting.

Kennedy Says He Told C.D.C. to Change Website’s Language on Autism and Vaccines

Just a friendly reminder, RFK Jr is lying about vaccines and Autism. I will continue to call out his lies. Americans need to trust that they are getting science-based information from the government.

Democrats revive package of bills to clamp down on fracking The legislation would close the "Halliburton Loophole" and strengthen other regulations on oil and gas production.

I'm continuing to lead on environmental issues because we must protect our land, air, and water, especially during the Trump Administration.

Under the Republican shutdown, health insurance premiums are skyrocketing, critical services have been disrupted, & public servants are working without pay.

And where are House Republicans? Nowhere to be found.

The American people deserve public servants who show up to fight for them.

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.

House Republicans have been on a taxpayer-funded vacation since mid-September while millions of Americans are paying the price for their inaction.

Democrats haven’t stopped working. We've been in Washington every week during this shutdown ready to reopen the government & lower costs for families.

Donald Trump found hundreds of millions to build a ballroom at the White House. Meanwhile, he is refusing to provide a dime to keep Americans from going hungry.

He would rather leave children, seniors, and families hungry than negotiate a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government.

Donald Trump has spent more time golfing than figuring out how to reopen the government.

Meanwhile, House Republicans have been on a five-week vacation.

Democrats? We're in Washington week after week, ready, willing, and able to reopen the government and lower health care costs.

The government has been shut down for 30 days, and Donald Trump and House Republicans are nowhere to be found.

Meanwhile, supplemental food assistance is about to expire and health care prices are skyrocketing.

It’s time to stop the vacation and start governing.

Health insurance premiums on Colorado's individual marketplace to double in 2026 | Colorado Newsline Roughly 225,000 Coloradans purchase their health coverage from insurers that offer plans on the individual marketplace.

For months, Democrats have been sounding the alarm about the Republican-forced health care crisis.

Costs are already too high under Donald Trump, and now hundreds of thousands of Coloradans will be forced to choose between staying on their health care or buying groceries.

We are heading into a health care crisis of the Republicans’ making.

Republicans need to work with us to find a path forward that reopens the government while making health care more accessible and more affordable.

And I am ready to work with my colleagues to get this done.

Congresswoman DeGette and CO Insurance Commissioner lay out worst-case scenario if insurance subsidies end Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette held a press conference with the Colorado Insurance Commissioner, warning about rising health care costs if subsidies are not extended.

Between the Big Bad Bill & Republican's short-sighted refusal to extend ACA premium assistance, Coloradans will see a 28% increase in insurance premiums.

Last year, it was 5.6%.

This is unacceptable.

We should be making it easier for people to get health insurance, not harder & more expensive.

Trump & Republicans don’t care about you.

Rather than lower costs or open the government, they're giving a massive bailout to Argentina, buying new private jets, and building a ballroom at the White House. Speaker Johnson even refuses to bring the House back so they can't release the Epstein Files.

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.

Donald Trump and Republicans slashed Medicaid in the Big Bad Bill while handing tax breaks to billionaires.

Now they’ve shut down the government instead of stopping massive premium hikes—then skipped town for another week.

It’s time for them to get back to work and reopen the government.

While troops & public servants in CO & across the country worry about missing paychecks, House Republicans are planning another week off.

Americans are right to blame them for jacking up health care costs, shutting down the government, & taking a vacation.

It’s time for them to get back to work.

Shoppers of Affordable Care Act Coverage Are Already Being Hit With Sticker Shock Marketplace window shopping reveals steep 2026 premium hikes as Congress stalls on extending enhanced ACA subsidies.

Across the country, families are seeing the real cost of Trump and Republicans’ health care sabotage.

ACA shoppers are already facing steep price hikes — a glimpse of what happens if Republicans let premium tax credits expire.

Democrats are fighting to keep coverage affordable.

Republicans shut down the government instead of extending premium tax credits.

Now, millions face a 114% increase in health care costs.

Republicans should stop trying to make life even worse for Americans. They need to finally negotiate so we can reopen the government and lower health care costs.

Democrats and most Americans agree: We want to quickly reopen the government while addressing the Republican health care crisis and lowering costs for working families across America.

Each day Republicans wait, costs will go up, thousands of Americans will go without care, & people will die.

Under the GOP's health care plans:

202,000+ Coloradans could lose their health care.

207,000+ million more face skyrocketing premiums.

But instead of extending ACA tax credits or protecting Medicaid, Republicans would rather shut down the government and make you pay the price.
