We should be reining in government surveillance powers, not expanding them in the dead of night.

While you slept, House Republicans tried to sneak through a five-year expansion of warrantless surveillance powers — turning a foreign intelligence tool into a weapon to spy on Americans. They failed, so they're coming back in two weeks. I was a hell last night, and I'll be a hell no in two weeks.

House effort to end Trump's war with Iran fails by one vote The nearly party-line vote of 213-214 shows that Republicans are sticking with the president's military campaign in Iran. Every Democrat except one voted to order an end to the war.

Trump's illegal war in Iran costs $1 billion a day, and it's sending gas prices soaring.

Today, I voted again to stop it. Republicans refused again.

They would rather spend your money on a forever war overseas instead of affordable food, housing, and health care here at home.

Today is Tax Day, and thanks to Trump’s Big Bad Bill, billionaires are paying even less in taxes.

While Republicans in Congress try to rig the economy for their billionaire allies, I’m fighting to make sure they pay their fair share.

Teachers are the backbone of our communities. I stand with the teachers striking in Sheridan and urge the parties to come together and find a solution that meets the needs of our public servants.

This weekend, we celebrated 100 years of South High School! My mother, my sisters and I all graduated from South. I’m proud that this school remains a cornerstone of education and community in Denver, and I’m honored to represent them in Congress.

Congrats to the Pios on their 11TH NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 🏆 after beating Wisconsin in the Frozen Four! You’ve made Denver proud!

Every mother deserves to come home to their family, and I am not done fighting until that is the reality for Black mothers across this country.

#BlackMaternalHealthWeek

Even in a Republican Congress, I got my bill, the Preventing Maternal Deaths Reauthorization Act, signed into law earlier this year. It funds the programs that figure out why mothers are dying.

Today marks the start of Black Maternal Health Week.

Black mothers in America die at nearly three times the rate of white mothers, and more than 80% of those deaths are preventable.

I walked into Fifty-Two 80’s — @denverwestword's Best Place to Find Your Favorite Childhood Toy — and saw toys I haven't seen since I was a little girl! Times are tough right now and having a place like this that just makes you smile matters. Congratulations to Dede and Tony on the award!

Finally made it to Full Frame Beer & Coffee downtown — @westword.com's Best New Brewery. Alyssa and Jacob built something really special here, especially after how hard downtown got hit post-COVID. Caught them mid-brew when I walked in — you don't get more handcrafted than that!

I really enjoyed my visit to The Common Collective in Capitol Hill. Westword named them Best Place to Find Unique Earrings and they are so right — vintage, upcycled, and stuff you won't find anywhere. Exactly the kind of gem that makes our district special. Congrats, Tristan and Jenny!

I had the privilege of hearing directly from Chris and Zion, two young people whose powerful stories of recovery are a testament to what Urban Peak makes possible. This is why we fight for this funding.

Urban Peak serves the most vulnerable in our community — kids ages 12 to 24 experiencing homelessness. Since 2022, I've fought to secure $3.4 million in Congressional funding so they have the shelter and round-the-clock support they deserve.

What an exciting night for Denver hockey! The Pios took down Michigan in DOUBLE OT and are headed to the Frozen Four Championship Game on Saturday seeking their 11th national title — and if that wasn't enough, the Avs just clinched the Presidents' Trophy as they chase their 4th Stanley Cup.

The team at Re:Vision in Westwood are in full spring mode! In 2024, I secured $800k in Congressional funding to turn a vacant lot into Westwood Proyecto Soberanía — a working farm growing fresh fruits and veggies for our neighbors. This is the power of Congress in our community!

25th Amendment. Impeachment. Trump is a threat to our country and to the world. He has to go.

Donald Trump is openly threatening war crimes against the entirety of Iranian civilization.

25th Amendment proceedings must begin immediately, but if the Cabinet is too cowardly, the House should begin the impeachment process now.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is costing the American people $11,500 every second.

Every day costs are skyrocketing, but he’s spending our tax dollars on war instead of child care, health care, and affordable housing. That’s unacceptable and I refuse to vote for a single dollar for his forever war.

It's National Public Health Week, and this year the stakes couldn't be higher.

RFK Jr. is dismantling the public health infrastructure that millions of Americans depend on — cutting funding, spreading misinformation, and more.

I'm fighting to hold him accountable for his dangerous actions.

JBS workers in Greeley end strike after company agrees to negotiate, union says Thousands of striking employees will return to work at the JBS meatpacking plant in Greeley on Tuesday after the company agreed to return to the negotiating table, union officials said.

This is great news—I’m glad the parties are talking, and I hope this ends with a deal the workers feel empowered by.

Happy Easter! 🐣To everyone celebrating today, I hope you cherish this time to honor your faith and be with the people you love.

Trump asks Congress to supersize military budget, slash domestic programs The president’s fiscal 2027 budget request calls for Republicans to use a partisan process for enacting billions for the Pentagon.

No.

This morning, I met with Councilwoman Sandoval over coffee at Convivio Café – just named Westword’s Best of Denver Latino Third Space, and it's so well-deserved. Vivi and her team have built something special – a warm, community-rooted space with amazing food. Congratulations to the entire team!

Pam Bondi actively hid the Epstein files and oversaw the pardon of convicted insurrectionists — all while trusted career prosecutors fled the department to avoid violating their oath to uphold the Constitution. The American people will be better served with her gone.

Rather than pursue justice wherever it led, Bondi fought to protect Donald Trump and weaponize the DOJ against his political enemies at every turn.

Pam Bondi will go down as the most partisan and corrupt Attorney General in our nation's history.

Tonight’s address made clear that Donald Trump has no objective, no exit plan, and no clue about the havoc his illegal war with Iran is wreaking on our country.

Americans are dying while gas prices spike, all for another forever war in the Middle East that is costing over $1 billion every day.

Chag Pesach Sameach, Denver! Passover has always been about finding hope in dark times. As our country continues to grapple with unacceptable hate and antisemitism, that message of resilience is more powerful than ever. Wishing all who celebrate a meaningful and joyful Seder.
