Steve Bannon reportedly compared the Republican-controlled Congress to the Russian Duma.

Republicans have debased the Article I branch of our government.

It should offend every American.

The healthcare crisis that Republicans have created is bankrupting families across our state and our country.

"Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health is the most shocking and immoral.”

As Republicans cut taxes for billionaires while refusing to lower health care costs for working families, it is clear Martin Luther King Jr.’s words ring true today.

Cannot overstate how ludicrous it is that House Republicans have been on paid vacation for FOUR WEEKS while the government has been shut down the last four days.

It should offend every single American!

Neguse: "What Trump is attempting to do is create a perception that he has all the power & create a sense of hopelessness or helplessness in the public. We've gotta resist the temptation. He's electorally unpopular. In fact, the most unpopular POTUS at this juncture than any modern POTUS in history"

Some House Republicans are breaking ranks — and it isn’t rocket science as to why:

Costs are up, rural hospitals are closing, and Speaker Johnson refuses to end week four of their vacation while the government remains shut down.

Back in Washington D.C., where Speaker Johnson refuses to end House Republicans’ 4-week paid vacation and re-open the House.

I’ll be joining @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social in a few minutes to discuss the road ahead — tune in! 📺

Just landed back in Washington D.C.

Republicans have been on paid vacation for the last 4 weeks, and the government has been shut down for 14 days — yet they refuse to come back to work.

My offices will remain open in Colorado & DC — because we work for YOU!

The fire at Caribou Village, which destroyed 30% of Nederland’s small businesses, is devastating. But Nederland is an incredible, eclectic and resilient community, and I’m confident folks across our state will rally to help our neighbors. That is the Colorado way! 🏔️🏔️🏔️

The Republicans who cut Medicaid & are refusing to lower health care costs for working families are the same politicians who gave $40 million of taxpayer dollars to President Trump to build a “garden of heroes.”

Seriously.

Grateful to everyone who came by on Friday to our “Congress on Your Corner” at CU-Boulder.

Whether on main streets, at bus stations and farmers markets, or on college campuses — the best part of my job is speaking directly with folks in Colorado’s 2nd District!

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 · 10d

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.

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.
