Republicans killed the resolution, greenlighting the war and putting American servicemembers in harm’s way. Meanwhile, this war is costing at least $1 billion every day. That is billions of dollars that could go towards affordable health care and housing. I refuse to support this war.
The Constitution mandates the president must receive Congressional authorization before engaging in acts of war, except in very limited circumstances. To date, I have seen no evidence that there was an imminent threat against our country. I voted for the resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war.
Iran has been the largest state sponsor of terrorism globally and a significant destabilizing force in the Middle East for decades. However, that does not give Donald Trump the authority to launch a war of choice.
The most corrupt DHS secretary in our history. Good riddance.
Donald Trump’s reckless war in Iran has put Americans across the Middle East in grave danger. I encourage all U.S. citizens in the region to review the latest Travel Advisories at travel.state.gov. Americans needing emergency consular assistance can call 24/7: +1-202-501-4444 (overseas).
Trump's illegal war is getting American servicemembers killed and causing gas prices to skyrocket. This week, I'm voting to END this war, just as the American people demand.
This past year, Trump and his Congressional allies have unleashed a torrent of attacks on our climate and democracy.
I’m proud to earn 100% on @lcv.org’s 2025 #LCVScorecard and will never stop fighting to defend our communities, democracy, environment, and clean energy progress. lcv.org/scorecard
March is Women's History Month. But this year, we're not just celebrating women's history — we're fighting to protect it. This administration is erasing women from our parks, museums, and national memory. I will not let that happen.
I urge my Republican colleagues to join us in stopping Trump’s unjustified march to war.
While the Iranian regime is a brutal autocracy that has oppressed the Iranian people, that alone does not give Trump the justification needed to launch a military operation of this magnitude without Congressional approval.
This is why Congressional authorization is urgently needed. I have cosponsored H.Con.Res. 38, the Massie-Khanna War Powers Resolution, on which Leader Jeffries has said he will force a vote this coming week. Congress must immediately return to Washington and reclaim its Constitutional authority.
This morning, Donald Trump illegally began a massive military operation against Iran without consulting Congress. During his State of the Union address earlier this week, President Trump made no attempt to explain why he felt military action was necessary at this time.
🚨Trump and his team are plotting to steal the midterms by creating a fake emergency because they know his policies are deeply unpopular. We can’t let it happen, and as a member of the Litigation Task Force, I’ll fight to stop this anti-democratic effort.
I’m proud to see Mayor Johnston’s order to protect Denver’s families against the unconstitutional brutality of this administration’s ICE operations.
Our police officers serve Denver — not Donald Trump
This administration has declared war on our communities. They are terrorizing families, threatening local officers, and shredding the Constitution in broad daylight.
Regis is a vital part of Denver, and I look forward to our continued partnership to expand access to education.
It was a pleasure welcoming Regis University interim President D. Scott Hendrickson to my office this week.
I was proud to secure more than $1 million in federal funding for their new Center for Cyber Security Defense — training the next generation of cybersecurity professionals.
RFK Jr. and Donald Trump have decimated America's public health system — undermining vaccines for kids, gutting Medicaid, and making secret deals without Congress’ approval or knowledge. Republicans refuse to hold this administration accountable. When Democrats take back the House, I will.
The Trump administration’s war on science must end now.
"If the United States stops being the most reliable place to pursue discovery, the world's best minds will simply do their research somewhere else — perhaps even for our adversaries."

Donald Trump has done nothing to make life more affordable for my constituents in Denver and has prioritized enriching himself and his friends. He is an embarrassment and a stain on our country.
As expected, Donald Trump continued to mislead the American people about his record. His delusion was on full display as he lied about the economy, launched personal attacks against Members of Congress, and showed his focus is on himself.
Four years ago today, Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
For three years, the United States stood with them. Trump has ended that, abandoning Ukraine to coddle Putin, as Ukrainians keep fighting for their democracy.
I won't stop supporting the Ukrainian people. #standwithukraine
This is disgusting.
On State of the Union Day, we find out that the DOJ is hiding and deleting allegations that Donald Trump sexually abused a minor.
We need all the files now.
Donald Trump demeans our Constitution, courts, and respected public institutions almost every day.
I will not legitimize his egregious actions by attending his address.
Remembering my friend and mentor John Lewis on his birthday.
Your steady courage changed this country.
I miss you often, but rest assured, we are all still getting into good trouble as you instructed us to!
For a year, Congressional Republicans let Trump increase costs for the American people by allowing him unchecked authority to impose illegal tariffs. Today, the Supreme Court said that his lawlessness must end.
This is a huge win for American families, businesses, and the rule of law.
Trump is illegally blocking $600 million that was supposed to LOWER your energy bill.
He’d rather wage a war on clean energy than help working families save money.
Colorado is suing this administration for the 54th time, and we’ll keep fighting to hold Trump accountable.

Ramadan Mubarak! I’m wishing Muslims in Denver and around the world a peaceful and reflective holy month.
I'm saddened by the loss of Reverend Jesse Jackson. Jesse Jackson gave his life to the unfinished work of advancing civil rights. He marched alongside giants and became one himself.
He once came to Denver to campaign for me, and I never forgot his kindness. Rest in power, Reverend.

This President’s Day, we can’t forget what true presidential leadership looks like: serving the people, upholding the Constitution, and putting country over self-interest. I'm fighting every day to restore accountability and trust in a government that works for all Americans.
