This type of hate has no place in our community. Everyone should be able to enjoy our parks with their family and friends without fear of racism or violence. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

We met with Coloradans who are fed up with soaring utility bills. Here’s what we need to do to make energy cheaper: ➳ End Trump’s illegal war in Iran ➳ Fight for energy assistance programs ➳ Make Big Tech foot the bill for their data centers, not Colorado families

Undertrained and armed ICE officers are continuing to bring violence to American communities. ICE is completely out of control. Not one more penny for ICE’s lawlessness. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Today is Latina Equal Pay Day. When Latinas are paid fairly for their work, families are stronger, businesses grow, and our whole economy does better. We're committed to closing the gap and making equal pay for equal work a reality.

Trump is making it loud and clear: he’s politicizing disaster relief to hold states hostage depending on how they vote for him. It’s despicable and inexcusable. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Tina Peters was found guilty by a jury of her peers for election crimes. Now, she’s trying to collude with Trump to illegally interfere in the midterm elections. Once an election criminal, always an election criminal.

At our visit to a supermercado in Aurora, we heard how skyrocketing grocery prices and MAGA’s cruel SNAP cuts are making life that much more difficult for Coloradans. We need to bring prices down and reverse those dangerous cuts.

ICE sent undertrained, masked agents onto our streets. Americans have been killed. Families have been wrongfully detained and deported. Communities have been terrorized. Enough is enough.

Our healthcare system should work for people, not against them. Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and universal.

Cutting off clean energy projects means YOUR energy bills exploding in cost. It just doesn’t make sense.

Congrats to Colorado teachers Frank and Jim on winning the @harborfreight.com Tools for Schools Prize for Teaching Excellence! Their commitment to building up the next generation of highly-skilled Coloradans is something to admire. Very well deserved!

Trump’s illegal war and reckless brinkmanship are driving up the cost of doing business for the people who feed all of us. Diesel and fertilizer prices need to come down now. That means ending the Iran war NOW to give our farmers a break.

MAGA Republicans kicked 34,000 Coloradans off SNAP, including 13,000 children. It’s cruel. It’s inhumane. And it never should’ve happened. We’re fighting to restore food assistance for these Coloradans and the over 5 million Americans who were left behind by MAGA.

Looking for Congress’ declaration of war against Iran? It doesn’t exist.

Voting is one of the most sacred rights Americans have in this country. MAGA’s attempts to subvert elections and restrict YOUR voting rights won’t go unnoticed or unchallenged.

This administration’s energy policies aren’t working for American families. We need an approach that uplifts clean energy and brings down costs for everyone. abcnews.com/US/wireStory...

This month is Hispanic Heritage Month. Colorado’s history cannot be told without the story of the Hispanic, Latino, and Chicano communities. We’re taking the time to understand how that history has shaped our wonderful state. Resources like History Colorado give us the opportunity to do so.

President Trump is so out of touch. He thinks everything is going perfectly because, for him and his billionaire friends, it is. Just not for you.

The only people profiting off this administration are the Trump family, their billionaire friends, and the ultra-wealthy. The Trump family has made $4 billion since he’s been back in office. Their priorities are themselves, not the American people.

This is the reality of skyrocketing diesel prices caused by Trump’s war with Iran:

More than 7 months into Trump’s illegal war with Iran… Diesel up more than 70%. Gas up more than 50%. Grocery prices climbing steadily with no end in sight. It’s time to bring our troops home and bring down costs.

If there’s one thing Coloradans don’t need right now, it’s another detention facility run by a reckless agency like ICE. We’ve seen how they operate, and this lawlessness shouldn’t have a home in Colorado. coloradonewsline.com/2026/09/29/a...

Republican’s Ratepayer Protection Act has no teeth. It won’t actually protect families like yours from paying more on your energy bills.

The American people can’t afford two more years of MAGA policies – right now they can’t afford much of anything. Gas. Groceries. Housing.

$43.6 billion for Trump’s illegal war in Iran doesn’t take into account the human cost. 19 service members lost. Over 800 injured. Thousands still away from families with no end in sight. END THE WAR NOW!

College athletes have won new rights and a bigger voice, and they deserve both. But the rules changed fast, and the sports that don’t make money were left wondering whether they had a future.

The Constitution is clear. Congress holds the power over how taxpayer dollars are spent, not one person in the Oval Office. Over and over again, this admin chooses to ignore the law. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Get a load of the BS coming out of this admin. Inflation down? Beef prices down? Yeah right. The American people will believe it when they can actually see it.

We’ve voted over a dozen times to end the war in Iran and bring the focus back to Americans here at home. Every time, MAGA Republicans failed to meet the moment. It’s way past time for Congress to step up.

We can lower energy prices and protect our climate at the same time. Our climate bill is doing just that but Trump and MAGA Republicans have fought it at every turn, canceling grants, killing jobs, and hurting our climate. Let’s get real about an all-of-the-above approach to energy.

Trump has a laundry list of broken promises. Here are just a few for you:

Teddy Roosevelt said it best: it’s vandalism to destroy what’s beautiful in nature. No matter how many times MAGA tries to degrade, attack, and sell off our public lands, we won’t let them.

Diesel prices at record highs→Cost of doing business rises→Cost of living rises with it. It’s not complicated but it’s complicating life for too many Coloradans. End the war. Bring costs down. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

$43.6 billion spent on Trump’s illegal war thousands of miles away. BILLIONS more spent on increased gas, groceries, and housing costs by working families here in America. Your money down the drain with nothing to show for it.

Xi gets the red carpet. Americans get the boot. Instead of lavish receptions for our adversaries, Trump should start treating Americans like they matter and make life affordable again.

It’s peak harvesting season, and record-high diesel prices and record-low moisture are having drastic impacts on our farmers. Over $6/gal for diesel makes the business of running a farm unsustainable and drives up the costs for everything else.

Trump’s economy isn’t working for families across Colorado. It’s time to focus on bringing down costs because Coloradans can’t afford the basics right now.

High energy prices are only made worse when the admin refuses to end the war in Iran or fund clean energy projects that bring down your utility bill.
