I 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.

Last 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. The American people do not support this forever war that is only making us less safe and causing prices to skyrocket.

Happy 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.

RFK 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.

When 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.

(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.

(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

(1/2) Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans prioritized tax breaks for their billionaire buddies over passing an agenda to make your life more affordable.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 23/07/2026
Today, 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.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 23/07/2026
The 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.

(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.

The 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.

(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.

(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.

My official response to Trump notifying Congress of more attacks against Iran: No.

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.

(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.

For 250 years, our democracy has endured through times of peace and times of struggle. And it’s up to all of us to continue working toward the promise of our country—where there’s freedom and justice for all—for the next 250 years and beyond. Happy 250th, America. 🇺🇸

The 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.

ICE 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.

Donald 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.

SCOTUS 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.

Since 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.

Rep. Diana DeGette @degette.house.gov · 24/06/2026
When 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.

As 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.

Four years ago, the Supreme Court stripped away the right to abortion care. Since the Dobbs decision, at least 12 women have died and millions more have been harmed. As co-chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I won’t stop fighting until all Americans can make their own health care decisions.

(1/2) As we commemorate Juneteenth, we are reminded that the struggle to secure justice and equality for all continues, and this work is all the more urgent now after the Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act.

Donald Trump claimed his ballroom wouldn’t cost taxpayers a single dime. Now, taxpayers could be on the hook for $300 million, or half, of the $600 million total cost. The American people should NOT be paying for Trump’s vanity project.

Fourteen years ago, America invested in the potential of Dreamers. Since then, DACA recipients have built careers, raised families, paid taxes, and strengthened communities across the country. After 14 years of success, Dreamers deserve permanent protections—not uncertainty. #DACA #HomeIsHere

Federal agents showed up unannounced at children’s legal aid organizations this week with no warrant and one clear purpose: intimidation.

It is no coincidence this happened the same week that Trump and his GOP allies handed ICE and CBP an additional $70 billion payout. These nonprofit organizations help kids prepare for court, stay safe from trafficking, and navigate a system designed for adults. They are not threats. They are a lifeline, and their young clients are often under the direct care of HHS’s Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR).

ORR has the responsibility for the care and placement of unaccompanied children in federal custody. Secretary Kennedy has a lot to answer for, and as the Ranking Member of the Health Subcommittee, I want answers immediately.

June is Immigrant Heritage Month. Whether it’s a first generation story or an eight generation story, the United States of America is a nation of immigrants. I remain committed to ensuring that immigrant communities feel welcome and safe.

You're paying more because the guy who “loves inflation” forced us into an illegal, forever war.

This week, Democrats notched yet another win by stopping Republicans from further eroding our democracy. We were able to defeat the FISA extension bill, which would allow our government to spy on American citizens without a warrant. We must keep up this fight to secure our democracy.

Donald Trump has never bought his own groceries or filled up his own tank. Of course he “loves inflation.”

Trump & House Republicans just forced through their bill to fund ICE and CBP for the next 3 years. Their latest move gives these rogue agencies more than $70 billion of your taxpayer dollars – on top of the $140 billion they gave them last year. I voted HELL NO. ICE must be defunded and dismantled

(1/2) 58% of American adults have experienced gun violence in their lifetime, or else they have a loved one who has experienced this tragedy. Gun violence is a public health crisis, and we must end it. That’s why I am fighting to ban high-capacity gun magazines, ban assault weapons, and enhance

We’re 94 days into Trump’s illegal war with Iran, and he has no idea what he is doing. The American people have been forced into another forever war, and Trump’s recklessness is driving up everyday costs for you and your family. This war needs to end immediately.

The Trump administration continues to dehumanize immigrants. Their rhetoric is sickening & will endanger immigrant communities across our country. I stand with all who are seeking to make a better life for their families in the US, even as Trump & his cronies advance their cruel immigration agenda.
