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! 🎃

(1/2) 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.

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.

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.

Trump's 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.

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.

$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.

(1/3) 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.

The nonpartisan GAO found that the Trump Administration illegally withheld Congressionally approved health care research funding. These funds support lifesaving research for Americans. Congress must stand together to uphold the Constitution and protect Americans' health.

DeGette, Matsui, Beyer Statement on Illegal Impoundment of Health Research Funds: The GAO’s decision today confirms what we have known for over a year: Donald Trump is stealing taxpayers’ dollars that Congress set aside to improve Americans’ health. The administration’s unilateral dismantling of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s grantmaking operations is an illegal impoundment of Congressionally appropriated funds.

Under Article I of the Constitution, the power of the purse rests strictly with Congress, not the executive branch. Trump’s administration cannot simply refuse to spend the resources we authorized for lifesaving health care research. Republicans must join Democrats in demanding that the Constitution is upheld.

Melissa Hart was a dear friend, and our families were close for many years. She was a brilliant judge and a kind person with a firm commitment to justice. Lino and I send our love and deepest condolences to her family—Phyllis, Kevin, Talia and Noah.
