Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 3hThe Hyde Amendment has denied abortion coverage to millions of low-income people for 50 years. It’s not just outdated—it’s unjust. The #EACHAct will put an end to this systemic barrier to care. Abortion is health care. Full stop. 0124
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 21/09/2026This is an outrageous attack on the First Amendment.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 17/09/2026I was honored to receive the Lifetime Reproductive Freedom Champion Award from @reproductivefreedomforall.org. Anti-choice extremists would love it if we stopped fighting—if we just let them ban abortion and strip away health care from millions. But we will never give them that satisfaction. 1289
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 16/09/2026The nonpartisan CBO estimates this war has cost us tens of billions already and up to $3 billion each month it drags on. That money should be spent here, at home, where we need affordable health care, housing and energy. 0164
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 16/09/2026Last night, the House passed a War Powers Resolution for a THIRD time – with even more support – to stop Donald Trump’s illegal war with Iran.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 15/09/2026Happy to welcome Colorado Senate President James Coleman to my office in D.C. today. We’ve worked together for years on ways to make Denver even better, and I look forward to continuing our efforts. 150
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 15/09/2026RFK Jr. is giving a speech to his anti-vax buddies less than a week after a third person died from measles--a vaccine-preventable disease--this year. With everything happening under his watch, the biggest risk to public health is RFK Jr. 084
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 15/09/2026Good news—the Supreme Court just blocked Trump’s plan to interfere in the upcoming midterm election by silencing the voters who mail-in their ballots. The right to vote must be protected. 082

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 11/09/2026(1/2) I will never forget watching the news coverage of the deadly terror attack in New York from my office in Washington, D.C.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 03/09/2026I’m sad to hear of Gloria Steinem’s passing. She was an inspiration to many people, including millions of women who were emboldened by her outspoken advocacy for equality and abortion rights. Gloria’s storied legacy will live on for generations to come.apnews.comGloria Steinem, a potent voice of US feminism and co-founder of Ms. Magazine, dies at 92Steinem became the most visible symbol and potent voice of the U.S. women's movement in the '60s and '70s and a fierce advocate for feminist causes for the rest of her life. 082
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 02/09/2026When Republicans falsely claim that protecting the environment is bad for communities and our economy, I call out their lies. Here’s the truth: Clean air and environment improve people’s health and improve the economy. 2159
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 25/08/2026(1/3) The Supreme Court just greenlit Trump’s effort to make it harder for citizens to vote by mail (something Trump does himself). Several states, including Colorado, allow citizens to vote by mail. In the 2024 election, over 90% of Colorado voters cast mail-in ballots. Free and fair elections 1153
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 24/08/2026(1/2) While fighting an illegal war with Iran, Trump is now instigating a reckless trade war with our close ally Canada. Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans own this unaffordability crisis, and the nonsense must stop. 2134
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 18/08/2026(1/2)Trump’s hand-picked appointees at our nation’s health agencies are slow-walking grants for scientific and medical research based on politics. His administration is killing valuable projects based on their misguided partisan war on DEI policies, which is hurting our progress on maternal health 163
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 17/08/2026🚨 ICYMI: It’s happening exactly as predicted. Read my latest Op-Ed in the Denver Post about how Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans attacked your health care and how we can fix the mess they created. 060
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 14/08/2026(1/2) Donald Trump and Republicans’ reckless agenda is hurting Denverites. That’s why my Democratic colleagues and I are standing up to Trump every day. 185
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 13/08/2026Donald Trump now wants to give masked ICE agents electric shock gloves. 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. 1225
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 10/08/2026(1/2) Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans prioritized tax breaks for their billionaire buddies over passing an agenda to make your life more affordable. 151
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 23/07/2026Today, we passed another War Powers Resolution to end Donald Trump’s illegal war in Iran. This reckless war of choice has made life in America less affordable and less safe. Only 4 Republicans voted with us. The rest voted for more forever wars and higher prices. 392
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 23/07/2026The American people are tired of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Costs are rising, and troops are being killed – this has gone too far, and it must end NOW. 294
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 22/07/2026I just voted NO on the annual defense spending bill. The bill allocates $1.15 trillion of our taxpayer dollars to continue paying for Trump’s illegal war. As costs skyrocket here at home, House Republicans are choosing to leave America behind and bankroll more forever wars. 2213
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 22/07/2026(1/2) House Republicans just forced through their short term plan to fund the government past the midterm elections. Their funding bill had no input from Congressional Democrats and leaves open the door for providing even more money to Border Patrol. 2156
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 21/07/2026In Colorado and western states, we are experiencing a chronic water shortage. Data centers use millions of gallons of water to operate.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 21/07/2026The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate among developed nations globally. That’s why I’m proud to once again support a bill that’s a crucial part of the Momnibus Act and will help us save moms’ lives, especially Black moms. 1152
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 21/07/2026(1/2) Today, the House passed my bill, the DeOndra Dixon INCLUDE Project Act. This bipartisan bill is critical — it will boost research and accelerate our understanding of Down syndrome and many co-occurring conditions. 1111
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 17/07/2026(1/2) Last night, Donald Trump once again aired his lies and grievances about the 2020 election, which he lost. He touted his so-called booming economy, which is crushing Americans with skyrocketing costs. 3122
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 15/07/2026(1/2) Today, House Republicans once again forced through Trump’s anti-democratic bill, the SAVE Act. I voted HELL NO once again. 2137
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 14/07/2026(1/3) With everything going on right now–a rogue and lethal ICE agency, an affordability crisis, and an illegal war with Iran–House Republicans just jammed through a bill to make Daylight Savings Time permanent. The American public is divided on this – from farmers to educators and even the 693
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 14/07/2026(1/2) BREAKING: I just introduced bipartisan legislation that would help eradicate hepatitis C in the U.S. If the Cure Hepatitis C Act becomes law, it would have the greatest positive impact to public health of any legislation passed this Congress. 1101

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 11/07/2026(1/2) Despite Trump’s stubborn refusal to sign it, the historic housing bill we passed out of Congress with broad bipartisan support is now law. This generational investment will make housing more affordable for families in Denver and across the country. 3120
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 10/07/2026(1/2) First, Trump eviscerated the FEC. Now, he’s cleaned house at the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission. On top of all this, he is hell bent on jamming the voter-suppressing SAVE Act through Congress. 160
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 09/07/2026(1/2) Congress passed a War Powers Resolution to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Despite the pomp & circumstance for the so-called peace agreement signing, Trump has forced us back into conflict. 2131
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 09/07/2026Donald Trump carelessly called Japan the “Islamic Republic of Japan” and accused them of attacking us. This isn’t a slip up that can be ignored. We remain committed to our alliance with the people of Japan. 2111
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 04/07/2026For 250 years, our democracy has endured through times of peace and times of struggle.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 30/06/2026(1/2) Although SCOTUS upheld birthright citizenship, we cannot overlook its despicable decision to greenlight bigotry against a vulnerable population and allow dark money to flood our politics. 21173
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 30/06/2026The Supreme Court has affirmed what we all know: birthright citizenship is a Constitutional right. For Trump to nullify the citizenship of countless Americans was an illegal attempt to destroy the promise of what it is to be an American, and he lost. 4228
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 29/06/2026ICE is a rogue agency. They’ve killed U.S. citizens, kidnapped people off the streets, and terrorized neighborhoods in Denver and across the country. While Republicans keep giving ICE billions of dollars, I’m fighting to abolish ICE and stop Trump’s cruel and discriminatory immigration agenda. 5214
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 29/06/2026Trump has waged an anti-democratic war against mail-in ballots, putting voters in states like Colorado at risk of losing their voice in elections. I’ve repeatedly urged that fighting back against Trump’s cruel and corrupt agenda requires Congress, the courts, and citizens. 2112

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 25/06/2026Donald Trump & and his GOP allies don’t really care about eliminating waste, fraud and abuse in health care. While Trump claims to be cracking down on fraud, he’s commuting prison sentences for his friends and donors who were convicted of fraud. 1113
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 25/06/2026SCOTUS just struck down a law that required firearm owners to get permission to bring weapons into private shops and businesses open to the public. This decision is dangerous and strips away commonsense gun safety regulation from legislators. Americans deserve to be safe in public. 1120
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 25/06/2026Since the disastrous Dobbs decision four years ago, millions of women across this country no longer have the freedom to make their own health care decisions. This is wrong. And it’s why we’re fighting to protect our rights. 2153
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 24/06/2026When there’s a pro-choice majority in the House, one of the first bills we pass will protect abortion access. I won’t stop fighting until all 50 states allow patients to access the care they need. 6269
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 24/06/2026As the co-chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, our sole mission is to restore and protect reproductive freedom. We won’t stop fighting until everyone has it. 273
Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 24/06/2026Donald Trump is refusing to sign a generational housing bill I voted for three times that would lead to more homes being built and more cost savings for Americans. He doesn’t care about lowering costs or making life easier for you. 3100
