Climate change is real, and we can't pretend otherwise.

CBS NEWS: Trump's EPA revokes the "endangerment finding" on greenhouse gases, a major reversal in climate policy. Here's what to know. Speaking at the White House Thursday, the president called the elimination of the finding the "single largest deregulatory action in American history." Johh, I…

Colorado, will you be my Valentine? 💘

Johh, I've been thinking a lot today about love — and honestly, I can't help but think about how much I love Colorado. I love our mountains and open spaces; I love our communities, our scientists, our teachers, our small businesses, and the people who make this state such a special place to ca…

Washington is loud right now…but it's not being led.

Johh, Washington is loud right now — but it's not being led. This administration is pushing ahead without accountability, and House Republicans are doing NOTHING to check them. NO oversight. NO accountability. NO concern for the people who actually feel the consequences of their bad p…

Closing the books in January the right way.

Johh, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you. Last week, we closed the books on our first end-of-month fundraising deadline of the year — and because of you, we met our goal! That matters. Not just because it's January, but because this work is how we lay the groundwork to take back the…

Endorsement alert: the Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC stands with Diana.

Johh, The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) PAC just endorsed Diana for Congress! Diana is, and has always been, one of the top champions for progressive values here in Colorado and in the country. She is the fighter for the moment, and we're not the only ones who think so. As the CPC PAC…

Things have been really hard, I see it, too.

I wanted to reach out personally one last time before the month wraps up, Johh. Look…I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I know how heavy everything feels right now. There are days when staying engaged feels exhausting, when the constant stream of headlines out of Washington makes it t…

"We shouldn't even have an election" — the President of the United States

Johh, President Trump didn't mince words when he suggested: "We shouldn't even have an election." This is scary as hell. But it's not unexpected; it's a part of a broader pattern of unchecked power, where Trump continues to test the limits of our democracy and whether Republicans in Congress w…

Johh, While Diana is in the thick of it on Capitol Hill every day, I want to reach out personally ahead of our end-of-month fundraising deadline — and I want to be honest with you. It's hard to stay engaged in politics right now. And it's hard to open an email like this one and not wonder whether …

Kristi Noem and her thugs

It's time to dismantle and defund ICE, Johh. I don't need to give a big speech here to explain why. We have all seen it — on our phones, on our televisions, in the footage coming out of the Twin Cities over the past several days. We've seen just what Kristi Noem and her thugs are capable of. I…

1973 .

Johh, Today marks the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In 1973, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision that recognized a simple truth: women have the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. For nearly 50 years, Roe protected the right to privacy, autonomy, and basic dignity.…

This is political retaliation.

Johh, we wanted to make sure you saw this. The Trump administration is targeting Coloradans purely out of political retaliation, and it's our families who are paying the price for his petty games. Diana will always stand up for Colorado, but she can't do it alone. If you're able, please chip i…

Alert: Trump cutting critical program

Johh, In Washington, "affordability" gets thrown around a lot. But for most families, it's not theoretical — it's personal. And what is Donald Trump doing? He is trying to freeze funding for vulnerable kids in Colorado. It is unacceptable and unlawful. That’s why Diana is working with Color…

Stock trading has NO place in Congress

Johh, Since the very beginning of my time in Congress — both as an elected official and as a candidate — I've NEVER traded individual stocks. As public servants, I believe the role of the elected official is not to profit off their time in office. That's why one of the last things I did before…

2025 was a year of relentless attacks on reproductive rights
