We need to hold ICE accountable for its lawlessness. A new facility in Hudson will make a horrible situation worse. It should be out of the question. www.denverpost.com/2026/02/24/c...

When someone says repeatedly they support selling off our public lands, believe them the first time. Colorado’s message to Steve Pearce, Trump’s pick to lead the Bureau of Land Management: Our public lands are NEVER for sale.

Trump’s first year is full of broken promises. Working families can’t afford groceries, housing, or child care. People are being priced out and kicked off their health care. Americans deserve better.

Try as he might, Trump can’t erase what we see with our own eyes. Working families are struggling to afford groceries and health care. Small businesses are crushed under illegal tariffs. (1/3)

No matter what Trump says, ICE is killing people, separating families, and denying constitutional rights. We all see it with our own eyes.

Trump has had “concepts of a plan” to address health care for over a decade at this point. Yet, he kicked millions of Americans off their health insurance and DOUBLED costs for millions more. We need health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.

President Trump’s tariffs robbed small businesses and working families of their hard earned money. He isn’t fooling anyone with his complaining. Where’s the refund???

Invitamos a Caroline Dias Goncalves al Estado de la Unión del Presidente Trump. Dreamers, cómo Caroline, crecieron aquí desde que eran niños. No deberían vivir con miedo de la violencia de ICE.

Caroline Dias Goncalves is our guest for tonight’s State of the Union. Dreamers like Caroline have grown up here since they were young kids. They should not have to live in fear of violence from ICE.

Renee Good and Alex Pretti should still be alive today. No matter how many lies we hear from Trump tonight, they were killed by ICE agents. We’re thinking about their families today and always.

Tonight, President Trump will tell us not to believe what we can see with our own eyes. His ICE agents are running lawless through our streets. Life is unaffordable and his tariffs stole from families and small businesses. We all can see it, no matter how they spin it.

It’s been 4 years since Putin launched a brutal invasion of Ukraine. We must always stand with Ukraine in their fight for democracy.

ICE is terrorizing our communities and scaring away business and visitors from many of our destination towns. It’s unacceptable and hurts our local economies.

Trump’s illegal, reckless tariffs ripped off the American people for billions of dollars. Working families and small businesses deserve a refund.

Dr. Justina Ford’s courage changed Colorado forever. Denied her license because of her race, she still became the first Black woman to become a licensed doctor in Colorado, delivering over 7,000 babies. During Black History Month, we honor her life and legacy.

We’re more than one year into President Trump’s second term, and Americans are getting completely ripped off. Costs are rising while our nation’s health, science, and education are suffering — because of decisions made by the President and his cabinet.

Trump and MAGA Republicans are still trying every way they know how to sell off our public lands to the highest bidder. Our public lands are NEVER for sale!

Met with patients and health care professionals in Colorado Springs to talk about how Republicans and Trump’s reckless cuts to Medicaid and the ACA are making health care less affordable and accessible.

ICE is ripping families apart and ruining children’s lives. What violent crime did a nine-year-old commit to be detained for FOUR MONTHS?!? ICE is out of control and needs a top-to-bottom overhaul.

Trump didn’t get his way. His reckless tariffs were always illegal and punished working families and small businesses just trying to make ends meet. The law is clear: only Congress can set tariffs.

The Trump administration is weaponizing child care funding to punish families.

ICE has failed to provide to us the information on the reports of their agents leaving “death cards” in detainee’s vehicles in Eagle County. When we requested a meeting this week, ICE kicked the can down the road. We need immediate transparency, not deflections. (1/2) bsky.app/profile/hick...

An update: these two young women who were detained by ICE for MONTHS were finally released yesterday. They should have never been in there to begin with.

We knew President Trump’s tariffs were clearly illegal. That’s why we signed an amicus brief giving the Supreme Court more information and urging them to reject his use of tariffs.

President Trump’s tariffs were blatantly illegal from the start and made life unaffordable for working families and small businesses. The Supreme Court confirmed today that tariffs are taxes and only Congress can set them. (1/2)

Had a chance to sit down with veterans down in Pueblo. Trump’s cuts to health care and VA staff are slashing veterans' services. We should honor our promise to folks who served our country.

Windy day down in Pueblo County visiting the construction site of the Arkansas Valley Conduit. Trump took away funding for thousands of rural Coloradans to get safe, reliable drinking water. We won’t stop fighting to get it completed.

Down in Teller County today, we heard about how Trump’s economy is making life harder for Americans in rural communities. We should be supporting our local businesses and working families, not crushing them.

Trump’s new prescription drug plan costs thousands more than generics. His “plan” will only leave your wallets and prescriptions empty. We already know Big Pharma is ripping Americans off. But working families need health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.

Trump told the American people that his tariffs would bring back American manufacturing jobs. In reality, they’re doing the exact opposite. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

ICE is targeting people based on the language they speak or the color of their skin. They’re separating families and detaining people without any due process. ICE needs to be overhauled NOW. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

126 years ago today, “Daddy” Bruce Randolph was born. He was a true Denver legend and a fellow restaurant entrepreneur who truly loved his community. This Black History Month, we honor the legacy of Daddy Bruce and his son, Bruce Randolph Jr.

I’m a small business guy. One of the reasons I got into public service and ran for Mayor of Denver was because I felt the government wasn’t doing enough to support small businesses.

This winter’s alarmingly low snowpack across Colorado adds an exclamation point to the already dire drought in the Basin. If we don’t address this problem together – head-on and fast – our communities, farms, and economies will suffer. (1/3)

Trump’s attacks on child care hurt Americans across the country. Families deserve better.

Republicans had two weeks to work with us to overhaul ICE. Yet, they chose to shut down DHS instead. They can’t keep asking us to ignore what we’ve seen with our own eyes. ICE needs a top-to-bottom overhaul to stop them from terrorizing our communities.

Republicans rebranded their original SAVE Act to the SAVE America Act, but its goal is the same. They want to stop Americans from using their RIGHT to vote. I was a no then, I’ll be a no now.

The American people have seen with their own eyes that ICE is out of control. The agency needs a top-to-bottom overhaul. We proposed commonsense reforms — like body cameras, judicial warrants, and strict restraints on the use of force — things that are standard for local law enforcement agencies.

This reckless decision puts our health at risk and will let harmful emissions dirty our air and water. While the Trump administration continues to attack science, it’s our communities who will pay the price.

By cancelling this funding, President Trump is jeopardizing the health of Coloradans and making America more susceptible to future outbreaks. These cuts should be reversed immediately. www.denverpost.com/2026/02/10/t...
