Fighting for Colorado, Holding Congress Accountable 💪🏾

 Dear Neighbor, This week was chaotic and dysfunctional for the American people, as President Trump's reckless tariff tax policies created significant economic harm. Many in our communities felt the very real consequences of this economic turmoil: retirement accounts lost value, recession fears spiked, and small businesses in Fort Collins, Longmont, and Boulder are scrambling to chart a path forward to stay in business and keep folks employed under difficult circumstances. This week's economic chaos also provided a ripe opportunity for individuals close to the President — including Republican members of Congress — to potentially take advantage of market manipulation in the stock market. As you know, I've led the charge in Washington D.C. for years to ban stock trading by all members of Congress — which is why I led a letter this week to Speaker Mike Johnson, urging him to ensure that all Members, on both sides of the aisle, immediately disclose any stock purchases in the past week, and that the Speaker bring our legislation to the House floor for a vote that would ban members of Congress from trading stocks. You can read our full letter HERE or below.

And I intend to make certain that folks elected to the "People's House" are working to represent the interests of their communities, not their own stock portfolios. Keep reading for more updates on our work this week!   STANDING AGAINST A HARMFUL BUDGET   Earlier this week, House Republicans passed their disastrous budget resolution, laying the foundation for the Trump Administration's harmful tax plan – which adds trillions to the deficit while cutting Medicaid and nutritional food assistance, all to pay for massive tax cuts for billionaires. This plan is a disaster for working families and farmers across Colorado, benefitting the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of everyone else. Safe to say, I voted 'No.' Watch my interview on MSNBC calling out this reckless proposal HERE.    DEFENDING OUR COURTS   I took to the House Floor to call out an extreme bill proposed by my Republican colleagues that bars federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions on President Trump's unconstitutional executive orders. Not only would such a law set a deeply disturbing precedent, but it also erodes the fundamental checks and balances that are inscribed in our Constitution. We're not a monarchy, where the president has unchecked authority. These attacks on the courts and judges must end. Watch my speech calling out Republicans in the House for their ridiculous hypocrisy HERE.   WHAT ELSE HAVE WE BEEN WORKING ON?   Grateful to meet with Mayors from across Northern Colorado to discuss our ongoing efforts to strengthen our communities. Last week, I had the opportunity to visit with countless folks at Rocky Mountain Equality's annual event. We will continue to support the LGBTQ+ community during this incredibly difficult time – and we will never stop working to protect the civil rights of every American! Mobile Office Hours Next Week!
