The basic necessities are no longer within reach for too many Coloradans. We’re in a cost-of-living emergency that won’t end until we end Trump’s tariffs and his illegal war in Iran. Americans are looking for stability, not the circus going on at the White House.

When we passed the most consequential housing bill in decades, Trump threatened to veto it because of petty politics. It’s time for serious leadership that delivers affordable housing to American families, because right now it’s out of reach for too many Coloradans.

The stories we heard from Coloradans this week were devastating. People shouldn’t be forced into impossible decisions because our healthcare system doesn’t work for them. We need to fix it. We need transparency. We need a path to affordable, accessible, and universal healthcare.

While you pay a fortune at the pump, Trump is making a fortune.

Glad to join the Protect Our Care Sick of It Bus Tour to raise awareness of the impacts of MAGA’s cruel cuts to our healthcare system. Americans deserve accessible, affordable, and universal healthcare.

Trump’s war in Iran has cost taxpayers more than $47 billion. And that doesn’t even count what Americans are paying in higher prices at the pump, the grocery store, and on their utility bills. This war has been a disaster. It needs to end now. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/u...

Devastated to hear that the great Dolores Huerta has passed away. Dolores was a trailblazer, creating a movement that stretches across generations. Her commitment to securing rights for workers leaves a legacy that will last forever.

Everyone’s talking about the Cheesecake Factory. But Trump’s Corruption Factory? That menu keeps growing by the day.

Americans have paid an additional $56 billion on gas since Trump started his illegal war. Diesel prices have DOUBLED. You feel it every time you’re at the pump, the grocery store, or anywhere else. It’s time to end the war and get back to lowering costs for Americans.

We’ve all seen it. ICE is out of control, terrorizing our communities, and separating families. Not one more penny for ICE’s lawlessness.

Tina Peters continues to sow distrust in our free and fair elections. She's guilty as sin and a disgrace to Colorado.

Building data centers isn’t the responsibility of communities. Funding them isn’t either. If Big Tech wants data centers, they foot the bill for them.

As a former small business owner, I can’t imagine trying to build a business with Trump’s tariffs and diesel prices having doubled because of his war with Iran. When we opened up the first brewpub in Denver, it wasn’t easy.
- JH
Before President Trump’s illegal war in Iran, diesel was at $3.27/gallon. Now, it’s at $6.60/gallon. We met with truckers and other Coloradans impacted by diesel prices in Commerce City that have DOUBLED here in the past year. The Iran War needs to end. NOW.

Trump will try anything to pump his flailing approval rating even if that means selling you out and cutting a deal with Putin. He’s using your taxpayer dollars to pay for Russian diesel, money that Putin will use in his war against Ukraine. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/17/t...

Pastor Nalwamba, a 78-year old Coloradan who has spent decades living and preaching in America, was released from ICE custody this past week after 13 months of detainment. ICE didn’t show a shred of human decency, not even providing him a wheelchair even though he was unable to walk.

In Trump’s second term, the average Colorado household has paid: → $1,700 in tariff costs → $836 more on gas → $310 more on groceries → $621 more on housing We need to end the tariffs, end the Iran war, and put a stop to an admin that prioritizes billionaires over families.

MAGA’s $1 trillion cut to our healthcare system means people will go without care, people will get sick, and people will die. Reversing these cuts is the first step to giving Americans what they deserve: affordable, accessible, and universal healthcare.

The Trump admin continues to ramp up its interference with our free and fair elections. We won't stand for it. Coloradans deserve to have their voices heard without the Trump admin looming over them at the ballot box. The DOJ should respect Colorado election laws.

Yet another attack on science by an admin that’s endangering Americans. Being able to predict extreme weather saves lives and this ability is crucial to combat the impacts of a changing climate.

Making Washington work for Coloradans means: → Securing record investments in infrastructure projects → Combatting climate change → Putting taxpayer dollars back into our communities

We need a free press to hold this White House accountable a whole lot more than President Trump needs a second swimming pool. Yet another potential vanity project and distraction from a president who seems focused on everything but lowering costs for American families.

Colorado diesel prices have doubled in a year. No other state has been hit harder. Here's who's paying for Trump's war in Iran. YOU!

Trump thought gas prices would be even higher and still started a war with no plan to end it.

When we started Free Application Day in Colorado as Governor, we aimed to tear down barriers that prevented Colorado kids from pursuing a college education. The results have spoken for themselves. Millions in waived application fees each year, helping kids reach their full potential.

Ways we can lower costs for Americans: → Reverse MAGA’s cruel healthcare cuts → End Trump’s illegal war with Iran → End Trump’s reckless tariffs → Reinvest in clean energy → Expand childcare All things we’ll continue fighting for.

Coloradans have paid $2 BILLION more on gas since Trump started his illegal war with Iran. High prices like this are unsustainable. We need to end the Iran War NOW.

From Red Rocks to The Mish, Colorado’s music venues bring culture, visitors, and economic opportunity to communities across our state. Our American Music Tourism Act, just signed into law, will help bring even more visitors to Colorado venues!

Trump’s sweetheart deal with Putin is as backwards and corrupt as it gets. He continues to sell our country out and does nothing that will make your life affordable.

We’re glad to hear that the SBA has approved disaster relief for Colorado communities impacted by the Aspen Acres Fire. These loans are a roof, a payroll, a new start. We’ll continue pushing for more assistance for Colorado communities that need it.

We’ve been all around Colorado hearing how MAGA’s Big Ugly Betrayal Act has made healthcare inaccessible for people. We need a healthcare system that’s affordable, universal, and actually WORKS for working families.

Our hearts are with the families of the children and educators killed yesterday at an Oregon elementary school. No parent should fear for their kid's life at school. No kid should fear they'll die at school. Colorado knows this grief too well, and we know it doesn't have to be this way.

While President Trump is focused on ballrooms, bombs, and billionaires, here’s what we’re doing to make life more affordable for Coloradans:

American families can’t afford Trump’s economy. It’s never ending, higher prices on everything from gas to groceries to health care. End the war. End the tariffs. End the corruption. Get back to lowering costs for working people. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/10...

Every day Trump’s illegal war in Iran drags on: billions more of your tax dollars burned, servicemembers in harm’s way, and prices rising on everything from diesel to groceries. This war needs to end. Full stop.

Ukrainians have shown extraordinary courage in the face of Russian aggression. Trump’s response? A diesel deal with Putin and threatening the temporary protected status of 100,000 Ukrainians we welcomed to safety here in the United States. (1/2)

Unprecedented corruption. As working families are struggling to pay for groceries and gas, Trump is focused on enriching himself to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars and selling out our country.

Behind every brave servicemember is a family and support system. It was an honor to meet with Blue Star Families in Colorado Springs and thank them in person for everything they carry.

Colder weather is coming. Which means you’re about to turn on your heat. But this winter, it’s going to cost more – way more. Gas prices are up. Diesel prices are up. And energy demands are up too. We need all hands on deck while working towards lowering these costs for American families.

Today on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we honor the cultures, histories, and resilience of Native communities — including the two Tribal nations in Colorado. We recommit to honoring every promise the federal government owes and to continue building a relationship worthy of that trust.

YOU and your family are the ones footing the bill for Trump’s reckless tariffs while he’s obsessing over vanity projects and illegal wars. That’s not leadership. That’s a con.

Trump and MAGA want to put a price tag on our public lands. Every time they attempt to sell them, we stop them in their tracks. We won’t let America’s greatest treasures get ripped from the hands of future generations.

We’re the wealthiest country in the world. It’s simple: our healthcare system should be affordable, accessible, and universal for working families.
