25th Amendment. Impeachment. Trump is a threat to our country and to the world. He has to go.
The nonpartisan CBO estimates this war has cost us tens of billions already and up to $3 billion each month it drags on. That money should be spent here, at home, where we need affordable health care, housing and energy.
Last night, the House passed a War Powers Resolution for a THIRD time – with even more support – to stop Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran.
The American people do not support this forever war that is only making us less safe and causing prices to skyrocket.

Happy to welcome Colorado Senate President James Coleman to my office in D.C. today. We’ve worked together for years on ways to make Denver even better, and I look forward to continuing our efforts.

RFK Jr. is giving a speech to his anti-vax buddies less than a week after a third person died from measles--a vaccine-preventable disease--this year.
With everything happening under his watch, the biggest risk to public health is RFK Jr.

(1/2) I will never forget watching the news coverage of the deadly terror attack in New York from my office in Washington, D.C. When the Pentagon was struck, I remember seeing the smoke from my office window. Our nation changed forever 25 years ago, as terrorists tried to break us.
Opinion: Reflecting on the tragedy of 9/11 reminds us we can still stand united as Americans
On this somber anniversary, we must remember that we can come together to reject cynicism and hyper-partisanship.

I’m sad to hear of Gloria Steinem’s passing. She was an inspiration to many people, including millions of women who were emboldened by her outspoken advocacy for equality and abortion rights.
Gloria’s storied legacy will live on for generations to come.

(1/3) The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s effort to make it harder for citizens to vote by mail (something Trump does himself).
Several states, including Colorado, allow citizens to vote by mail. In the 2024 election, over 90% of Colorado voters cast mail-in ballots.

Donald Trump now wants to give masked ICE agents electric shock gloves. This is shameful!
People have suffered enough from these violent ICE agents.
This rogue agency must be abolished, not given more ways to hurt our neighbors and terrorize our communities.

Only 4 Republicans voted with us. The rest voted for more forever wars and higher prices.

I just voted NO on the annual defense spending bill.
The bill allocates $1.15 trillion of our taxpayer dollars to continue paying for Trump’s illegal war. As costs skyrocket here at home, House Republicans are choosing to leave America behind and bankroll more forever wars.

Data centers use millions of gallons of water to operate. As we manage data centers popping up everywhere, water usage needs to be a forethought, not an afterthought.
