As the government shutdown enters Day 10, Republicans still refuse to re-open the House & are instead continuing their 4-week vacation.

It is shameful!

While Republicans continue their vacation — I’ve held 16 public town-halls in the past ten months, more than Colorado’s entire House delegation combined.

Grateful to the thousands of Coloradans who’ve showed up — and I’ll keep showing up too, in every community and every town, large or small!

House Republicans described Trump’s tariffs as “short term pain” — and now working families across our country are footing the bill, paying increased costs for groceries, consumer goods & more.

“As a Republican, I am very disappointed in my party . . . You have the power to call the House back. You refuse to do that just for a show.”

If you watch one video today, hope it’ll be this one. Powerful words from a military spouse this morning to Speaker Johnson — he must reopen the House!

Grateful for the opportunity to drop-off some breakfast this morning for workers at the Forest Service in Fort Collins.

House Republicans’ refusal to negotiate an agreement to end their shutdown is ridiculous.

Enough of the political games!

Grateful to all the constituents who came by my “Congress on Your Corner” table in Old Town Fort Collins on Sunday.

I’ll keep showing up — from bus-stations to farmers markets, parks to main streets, and everywhere in between!

Rep. Joe Neguse @neguse.house.gov · 5d

While House Republicans continue their 4-week vacation, I spent yesterday meeting with constituents in Fort Collins.

No pre-screened questions.
No attendance limits.
No “handlers.”

Just me and my team listening to folks in Old Town at our “Congress on your Corner” table and providing resources.

15 years together, and ten years since our wedding date — what an incredible journey it has been. From your courageous battle with cancer to the countless sacrifices you make for our family, I’m reminded everyday how truly lucky I am.

Happy anniversary to my wonderful wife Andrea!

The Trump administration’s cancellation of over $550 million in Federal funds for energy projects across Colorado — including critical programs at Colorado State University in Fort Collins — is UNLAWFUL.

We will use every legal and legislative tool to reverse it.

Trump administration slashes $550 million in Colorado clean energy grants. Democrats call it revenge.

Mostly blue states, like Colorado, are losing $7.5 billion in federal clean energy grants. Democrats say it is an act of political revenge.

Your daily reminder — as President Trump’s conduct becomes more unhinged — that there is nothing he does that Republicans in Congress won’t defend.

Case in point.

We’ll keep showing up, each and everyday!

I’m doing everything I can to minimize the harm to folks in Northern Colorado & on the Western Slope as a result of the government shutdown.

We’ve also taken steps to ensure all my offices will remain OPEN and available to constituents — because that’s our job.

Grateful for the opportunity to visit with the hardworking folks at NOAA in Boulder & drop off some breakfast items.

As we grapple with the Republican-initiated government shutdown, I hope you’ll join me in thanking & supporting the Federal workers being impacted — we owe them a debt of gratitude!

The Congress must reassert itself as a coequal branch of our government.

Enough is enough!

Rep. Joe Neguse @neguse.house.gov · 10d

Republicans are capitulating to President Trump at every turn. Now they’re demanding passage of a bill exacerbating the cost of living crisis that they created.

My answer is simple — NO.

Right now is a watershed moment for our republic. It’s never been more important for us to stand up for our hard fought rights & freedoms.

Proud to receive Colorado Common Cause's 2025 Champions for Democracy award last week — and recommit to the work ahead to defending our democracy.

Onwards.
