25th Amendment. Impeachment. Trump is a threat to our country and to the world. He has to go.
I’ve been honored to lead the Reproductive Freedom Caucus for over 25 years, fighting alongside champions, like @RepPressley, @BarbaraLee_CA, and others to fiercely defend Americans’ freedom to make their own health care decisions, including abortion, without interference by politicians.
The fight is far from over.
Thank you, @RepDianaDeGette, for 26+ years of leadership in the fight for reproductive freedom.
Your courage and dedication have strengthened our Caucus and this movement.
We stand on your shoulders and carry the fight forward!
Happy Veterans Day to all the veterans in Denver & across our nation. We thank you for your bravery and service.
I was honored to receive the Vanguard Award from Interfaith Alliance of Colorado this evening.
Being recognized by a group that brings our community together and protects our fundamental rights means a great deal to me.
I look forward to continuing to work with them to protect our democracy, our planet, and our people.

I’ve always had faith in the American people.
I often talk about the importance of the “Three C’s — Congress, the Courts, and our Citizens” to keep our democracy strong.
Last night, the citizens resoundingly proved our democracy continues to hold.
Now the hard work begins. Let’s go, America.🇺🇸
If dealing with the Trump administration isn’t scary enough, now we have goblins, ghouls and ghosts walking around…
Wishing everyone in Denver a safe and happy Halloween! 🎃
Today’s guilty plea confirms what we knew all along—when the Boulder firebomber lobbed two Molotov cocktails at a group of Jewish activists, killing an 82-year-old woman and injuring others, he targeted the individuals because they were Jewish.
There can be no room for nuance when denouncing antisemitism. It has no place in our society and must be categorically condemned by leaders and citizens alike.

I’m saddened to hear of Dolores Huerta’s passing. She was a trailblazing leader and fearless advocate for workers, women, immigrants, and many other human rights causes. Her lasting legacy of activism, organizing, and empowering vulnerable communities, in Denver and across the country, will live on for many years to come.

Trump is charging American families for the price of his illegal war. Costs continue to climb, yet Trump’s exit strategy is nowhere to be found. The only thing coming from this war are higher bills and less security.
The war must end.

The Trump administration remains hellbent on destroying our public health. His announcement today to weaken methane restrictions, a main driver for climate change, for Big Oil polluters will harm Americans’ health.
I passed the bill to tighten methane emissions from these companies, and now he’s reversing them at the behest of his wealthy donors. Shameful!
The Trump administration's continued attacks against Rep. Ilhan Omar are outrageous. That's why I joined my colleagues in a letter today calling out this abuse of our justice system and supporting her legal defense. We can't normalize their corrupt actions.

Denverites have paid over $4,900 in extra costs under Trump, as the price of everyday life continues to climb at the expense of working families.
So much for Trump’s affordability promise.

Trump promised Americans lower prices. Instead, Colorado families were hit with a $3,700 bill.
We shouldn’t have to shoulder the burden of Trump’s failed policies.
It was a pleasure speaking with Rocky Mountain Equality CEO Mardi Moore about my record fighting for our LGBTQ+ community. Though progress has been made, there is still much work to be done, particularly in health care.

I am deeply honored to have been recognized today by the Colorado Black Round Table, with touching speeches from John Bailey and Selena Dunham.
I was also honored to be presented with a joint commendation from the Colorado General Assembly by Senate President James Coleman.
Serving the people of Colorado for nearly 30 years has been the greatest privilege of my life, and to be recognized by my community in this way means the world to me.

Spreading misinformation like this only harms women.
Abortion pills are safe, FDA approved, and standard medical care.
Katie Zacharia: The abortion pill has the same chemicals that they used in the extermination camps in Nazi Germany
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Nazi gas chambers used hydrogen cyanide (Zyklon B) and carbon monoxide. Abortion pills contain neither: mifepristone is a synthetic steroid that blocks progesterone, and misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin analog.

$20 doesn’t get you as far as it used to – literally.
And it’s all because Donald Trump and his cronies started a war with Iran, causing energy and gas prices to skyrocket and making life at home unaffordable.
It is past time for this illegal war to end.
Methane is 80 TIMES more potent than carbon dioxide. That's why I have been working to curb methane waste for years -- to protect Americans’ public health from this super pollutant.
In 2024, we took significant strides when the @EPA finalized a comprehensive rule to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. Now, Donald Trump and Lee Zeldin are preparing to get rid of that rule, focusing on the profit of these companies instead of protecting Americans' health.
This is wrong.
