The House Democrats leading the impeachment prosecution used the words of rioters supporting Donald J. Trump against the former president on Thursday, as they sought to show that the sacking of the Capitol was done by people who believed they were following Mr. Trump's wishes.
"They truly believed that the whole intrusion was at the president's orders — and we know that because they said so," said Representative Diana DeGette, Democrat of Colorado, and one of the House managers.
As she made her case Thursday that former President Donald Trump must be convicted by the U.S. Senate for inciting an insurrection, Colorado U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette replayed and read aloud the words of Trump supporters who rioted at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
Congresswoman Diana DeGette warned senators Thursday that if strong action is not taken to hold former President Donald Trump and his supporters accountable for the Jan. 6 insurrection, similar attacks will happen in the future as far-right groups continue to feel emboldened.
U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette is calling the five leading COVID-19 vaccine makers before her congressional subcommittee to find out what they're doing to speed up production, her office said Monday evening.
The Democrat from Denver chairs of the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations subcommittee, which oversees health agencies.
Leaders of AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax and Pfizer have been summoned to Capitol Hill to testify on Feb. 23.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), chair of the House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations panel – which oversees the nation's health agencies – announced today that the subcommittee will hold a hearing on Tuesday, February 23, to hear directly from the five leading manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines on their efforts to ramp up production.
Officials from AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, Novavax, and Pfizer have all been called to testify at the fully remote hearing.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A bipartisan group of lawmakers – led by U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) – introduced legislation today to provide billions of dollars in emergency relief to U.S. researchers to continue their important, federally-funded projects through the pandemic.
The legislation – known as the Research Investment to Spark the Economy, or RISE, Act – would provide $25 billion to independent research institutions, public laboratories and universities throughout the country to continue their work on thousands of federally-backed projects.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) reintroduced legislation today to permanently protect nearly 660,000 acres of wilderness in Colorado.
The legislation – which was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives twice last year – is the largest Colorado wilderness protection bill to make it through the chamber in more than a decade. While more than two-thirds of the areas included in the bill are already being managed as wilderness areas, the legislation would provide them the permanent protection they deserve.
With a more environmentally-friendly administration, U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette will try again to permanently protect almost 660,000 acres of Colorado wilderness.
The Democrat from Denver passed her Colorado Wilderness Act out of the Democratic-controlled House a year ago, then it passed again as part of multi-state. 1.4 million acre proposal.
