Veterans already face so many obstacles when in need of medical care. To see VA hospitals reporting even more severe staffing shortages is gutting. Lauren Boebert voted to cut VA funding because she doesn't view caring for veterans as her job. Well, I disagree. Let's vote her out. wapo.st/45G9oj4
Every VA medical center has severe staffing shortages, audit finds
All of the Veterans Health Administration’s 139 facilities reported lacking workers, and reports of severe shortages increased 50 percent from the previous fiscal year.

Grateful our bill to support water access for Eagle County passed out of committee last week.

Earlier this year, my office was recognized as the 2nd-most effective in the entire U.S. House of Representatives — and we will keep pressing forward!

Don’t be fooled: It’s our businesses here at home who have to absorb the cost of Trump’s tariff-taxes – not other countries.

This administration will give billion-dollar handouts to corporations – but pinch pennies when it comes to our students.

Gutting after-school programs only creates further challenges for our teachers, students, and working families.

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth, and we couldn’t agree more with Brianne’s words: 🌟 “...celebrating my abilities...” 🌟

To everyone with a disability: we see you, we value your contributions, and we celebrate you for who you are and all you bring to our communities.

Happy Disability Pride Month. Republicans celebrated with passing the Senate Bill the will gut the lifeline for people with disabilities.

This right here is what we’re up against.

Closing Colorado’s rural hospitals so the ultra-wealthy can get another tax cut? Unacceptable.

Senator Mike Lee is now trying — for the third time — to sell-off YOUR public lands to the highest bidder.

We’ve built a bipartisan coalition to repeatedly block his efforts, and will keep doing so until he gets the message:

Our public lands are not for sale!

Millions of Americans kicked off their health care.
Millions of kids losing their food assistance.
Millions of acres of public lands up for sale.
Trillions added to the national debt.

All so Washington Republicans can give the wealthiest among us a massive tax handout. Shameful.

President Trump's Birthday Parade will cost taxpayers up to $45M.

Trump thinks Americans who died for our country in war are "losers" and "suckers." Today's vanity project isn't about celebrating our military; it's to boost his ego.

It's a waste of time, money, and resources.
