If I could pass Medicare-for-All unilaterally in the minority, I would do it, because I’m an original co-sponsor of that bill. But the frustration people are feeling is with the whole system.

All of these radicals who are coming to the House, thinking they’re going to be able to pass a very broad bill like Medicare-for-All right away, they’re going to run into a brick wall immediately.

The government should never have the right to use health insurance coverage as a targeted weapon, should never deliberately strip certain people of the freedom to make their own medical decisions.

The right to decide what is best for your body, health and family should not be dictated by borders.

This rogue agency must be abolished, not given more ways to hurt our neighbors and terrorize our communities.

This is shameful! People have suffered enough from these violent ICE agents. This rogue agency must be abolished, not given more ways to hurt our neighbors and terrorize our communities.

I want to congratulate Melat Kiros for her victory last night, and I want to wish her all the best in her future.

Denver, Colorado, is not New York City.

I feel like my message is getting out to the voters: fighting against Donald Trump, fighting for Medicare For All, and against ICE, and that’s what they care about.

I have emphasized my efforts to fight Trump and his 'MAGA Republican' allies and protect access to abortion.

New allies should know that voters who have not returned their ballots need to see contrast communications in the mailboxes — followed by TV and digital targeted to likely voters 40+.

Pro-choice and Project allied groups should continue messaging on television and digital. New allies should know that voters who have not returned their ballots need to see contrast communications in the mailboxes — followed by TV and…

I believe every two years I am up for rehiring, and that’s why we’re here tonight.

We need a strong, bold, hardened leader who will hold Trump accountable, and when we win the majority in November, will have real power to move the U.S. to a more just and affordable America … That leader is me.

Nobody ever gave me a contribution and got anything in advance for that.

We are subject to term limits. It’s called elections every two years.

Now is not the time to gamble and send somebody with no experience to Washington.

The best part of this job is listening to Denverites and bringing what I hear back to my work in Congress.

Trump is a lawless president, and Republicans in Congress are only enabling his worst abuses.

Trump is coming after our elections, and we cannot let him. He has taken a sledgehammer to voting rights, not just to entrench his own power but to do it at the expense of voters in Black and brown communities.

I fight back, because that is the only thing this administration responds to. Colorado was the first state in 35 years to be denied a major disaster declaration, and Trump is still sitting on federal childcare and food aid that Coloradans…

Far and away it’s Donald Trump. Denverites are alarmed by the damage this administration is doing every day to our country, our democracy, and our economy.

Is that going to help speed up the timeframe to be able to process this?

We can do something about where we are refining the minerals.
