Rep. Diana DeGette, a Democrat who represents Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, leads the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations panel. The panel looked into deceptive and unfair practices by some online ticket brokers on Wednesday with testimony from industry executives. Ticketmaster, AXS and StubHub were just some of the companies going before the panel not only discussing fees and marketing to customers but also privacy and personal information stored by the brokers.

U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette pressed hard on Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar about the Trump administration's response to the coronavirus Wednesday. Azar was on a panel that testified about the deadly pandemic to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "Who's in charge?" DeGette asked, slightly raising her voice.

If a version of the bill is approved by the Senate, DeGette’s legislation would offer permanent safeguards for more than 600,000 acres of land in Colorado. The bill offers land protections in three states, Colorado, California, and Washington. Almost 1.4 million acres in total would be declared federally protected wilderness and about 1,000 miles of rivers would be added to the National Wild and Scenic River Systems if the bill makes it through the Senate.
