Secretary Noem must be impeached.
She has obstructed Congressional oversight, directly violated a court order, violated public trust, and engaged in corruption to enrich herself and close associates. She must be held accountable.

While Trump is taking over Venezuela, ICE is shooting Americans, and.costs are skyrocketing, House Republicans are voting on a bill to police shower heads.
Their complete capitulation to this admin is unacceptable. They refuse to do any oversight while wasting valuable time on pointless bills.

Republicans claim to support an “all-of-the-above” approach to energy dominance, but are actively undercutting renewable energy sources.
The administration renamed the National Renewable Energy Lab to the National Lab of the Rockies because they want to erase the importance of renewables.

Reopening broken coal plants doesn’t lower energy bills—it raises them. This administration is doing everything it can to increase costs for Coloradans and punish our state.
I led a letter last year urging the EPA to reverse course and leave Colorado alone.

Great news: a federal judge just temporarily blocked Trump’s attempt to freeze funds for childcare and food assistance in Colorado.
His effort is illegal, and I will continue to fight his blatant politicization of funds that help the most vulnerable families in our state.

I had the honor of serving in Congress with @GabbyGiffords for 5 years before she was shot and almost killed 15 years ago today. Her spirit was unbreakable then, and it remains so now through @giffords_org.
I am proud to call Gabby my friend and to stand with her in the fight against gun violence.

This health care affordability crisis did not appear overnight.
Democrats sounded the alarm for a year.
Donald Trump and Republicans responded by passing their Big Bad Bill to kick 15 million people off their health care— all to fund billionaires’ tax breaks.
Remember who they chose.

Congressman Steny Hoyer epitomizes what public service is about - a willingness to do anything to make the lives of the American people better.
He has been a mentor & ally for my entire career as he helped lead our caucus through challenging moments, intense debates, & legislative victories.

Donald Trump’s attempt to freeze funding for vulnerable kids in Colorado is illegal, and I’ll be working with AG Phil Weiser to stop it.
We must fight Trump’s unlawful actions in the courts, because Republicans in Congress have shown they are unwilling to stand up to him in Washington.

Extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits is a short term fix to lower health care costs, and we're forcing a vote to do just that.
But I know that our health care system needs major reform. That’s why I have championed universal health care as the top Democrat on the Health Subcommittee.

This admin is making unreasonable demands of Denver Health and Children's Hospital Colorado, forcing them to stop critical care for kids who need it, risking their mental and physical health at risk. If Trump finalizes these cruel policies, I'll introduce a bill to overturn them.

Therefore, I urge my Republican colleagues to leverage their relationship with the administration and end this blatantly political attack against the most vulnerable families in Colorado. And, as a member of the House Litigation Task Force, I am exploring legal action to reverse these unlawful cuts.

Donald Trump’s decision to take federal benefits from vulnerable children in Colorado is vindictive and illegal. I vehemently oppose his actions of political retribution against our state. This devastating freeze will take food from families across the state, in red and blue areas. buff.ly/sWNLR8z
