ICE is out of control. Separating families. Shooting Americans in cold blood. Profiling folks based on the color of their skin or the language they speak. We need accountability for ICE. We need it now.

🚨 Senator Bennet and I are continuing to hold up the minibus to demand full funding for the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder.

The House passed a bipartisan three-year extension of the ACA enhanced premium tax credits that Republicans voted to cut just last summer. It’s the critical next step in making sure all Americans have access to affordable, accessible, and universal health care. The Senate needs to vote on this ASAP.

This is D.C. at its worst. Every single U.S. House member supported this bill to bring clean water to Southeastern CO before Christmas — Democrats & Republicans. But they refused to stick to their guns & override Trump’s retaliatory veto. Rural Colorado is paying the price for these political games.

The House will vote today on overriding President Trump’s veto of our bipartisan, unanimous Arkansas Valley Conduit bill. Rural water projects shouldn’t be used as political weapons. Congress must stand up to Trump’s intimidation and override this veto.

Congress, not the President, decides when this country goes to war. Nicolás Maduro is a corrupt, tyrannical leader who has trampled the democratic will of the Venezuelan people. (1/3)

Every single Senator and every single House member voted for our Arkansas Valley Conduit bill. But then Trump vetoed it. Trump is leaving real people out to dry for his own political grievances and making our rural communities pay the price.

From @bennet.senate.gov and I in @ms.now: “It’s southeast Colorado today, but if we allow basic infrastructure projects to be used as a political weapon, it could be your community tomorrow.” www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

The footage out of Minneapolis is horrifying. ICE cannot continue their rein of terror across this country. Countless families separated and today a woman killed. We need an immediate, independent investigation into this shooting.

Nothing says ‘Make America Great Again’ like denying 50,000 rural Coloradans access to clean, affordable drinking water. Congress should do its job and overturn Trump’s veto.

RFK Jr. is getting what he wants — public health decisions based on his conspiracy theories, not science. This decision will put the health of our children and communities at risk.

NCAR provides weather data that is critical for everything from agriculture to public safety. Trump wants to gut NCAR and put our communities at risk. We will use every tool to keep that from happening.

Five years ago today, Trump and his allies tried to overturn an election by inciting an insurrection that killed five police officers. He then began his second term by pardoning the violent rioters and his most loyal supporters. (1/2)

At a time of rising costs for Americans, Trump is cutting child care services and resources for the most vulnerable families. President Trump thinks this is a game, but these are people’s lives. www.axios.com/2026/01/05/t...

Happy Monday, folks. The Senate is back in session, but we can’t let it be just business as usual. We’re still holding up the appropriations package to demand full funding for NCAR. We won’t let Trump continue to attack science and life-saving weather research.

Mark Kelly is a patriot who has served his country in combat, space missions, and the U.S. Senate. The Trump administration’s threats and intimidation won’t stop Senator Kelly from standing up for the country he’s always served.

It’s Southeast Colorado today — your district tomorrow. If any member from either party wants to actually deliver for their constituents, they’ll stand up and send a clear message. Congress should overturn Trump’s veto on our unanimous, bipartisan bill to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit.

If you give a bully your lunch money, he’ll keep demanding more until you fight back.

We criss-crossed the state in 2025, meeting with constituents and visiting Colorado communities to discuss top-of-mind issues. Thanks for having us!

This project will bring water to 50,000 rural Coloradans. Farmers & ranchers are counting on the promises made by our government 60 years ago. This unanimous bill is as nonpartisan as it gets. Yet Trump always finds a way to make people suffer rather than get things done. www.cpr.org/2025/12/30/t...

We can’t let President Trump leave rural Coloradans out to dry. Our bipartisan bill to finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit was passed unanimously. Congress should overturn this veto as soon as possible.
