Very grateful to receive First Focus Campaign for Children's support for MediKids. This is a compelling case for why we need to act NOW to ensure all kids have healthcare — and coverage that addresses kids’ particular needs on pediatric, dental, vision, and behavioral care.

This confirms what we've known all along: the Trump Administration is using federal funding to punish states that dont fall in line politically.

All of America has fallen in love with Seattle's most famous raccoon—a weird little guy named Jimothy. But Jimothy's friends shouldn't have to lose their homes. We can all speak up to protect their habitats.

There are some good things in this bill. But some of that good is paid for by robbing one veteran to pay another. We don't have to choose between veterans. Fund it right.

What I thought about during the dignified transfer ceremony when our brave fallen soldiers came home is: Why? Why was this necessary? Five months of war and President Trump STILL can’t answer that question.

Any Trump official who lied and told the nation these clean energy grant cancellations had nothing to do with politics should resign. As the administration has now been forced to concede — these cancellations had everything to do with politics. Of the worst kind. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

A private company wants to nearly triple the size of its gravel quarry outside Glenwood, putting our hot springs at risk. We're glad to work with the Glenwood Springs community to introduce legislation that would block this expansion. www.westword.com/news/sen-ben...

Even when Trump’s tariffs are struck down by the Supreme Court, he can’t help but find new ways to spike your costs. It’s an attack on your budget and small businesses across the country.

Instead of actually working to fix our broken immigration system, the Trump administration is trying to reignite yesterday’s culture wars. These young people, many of whom have never had a home other than Colorado, want an education so they can build their lives.

My two girls are only here because of IVF—but for far too many Americans, this treatment is out of reach. No more excuses from Republicans. It's time to protect IVF and make it more affordable for middle class families.

The deadly June earthquakes in Venezuela have claimed thousands of lives and left countless injured and without shelter. I asked Ambassador Michael Kozak what the State Dept. is doing to ensure American aid is reaching those affected, and not being taken by corrupt officials. Here was his response:

This President is trying to shut down the Department of Education and undermine special education. Why? Not to make our kids get a better education, but to fulfill a campaign tagline. I heard from parents today about what this means for their families and children’s education.

Finally the Trump Admin admits what we have long known, that their grant cancellations were not based on “waste” or sound policy but vindictiveness. Americans should never be punished for voting, & it's despicable that the Admin is taking away funding from states that did not vote for Trump.

Families just want to be able to afford their groceries and rent and save up for their future. My family grew up counting every dollar, but a lot of folks in Washington don’t know what that’s like — and that’s why they’re failing working families. I’m fighting to fix that.

We don't have to guess anymore. They admitted it in court. It’s not a budget decision, it's the weaponization of government. This administration shows us time and time again they only care about one person — and that person only cares about himself.

There have been more American measles cases in the past two years than from every year from 2000 to 2024… combined. This administration’s MAHA policies are making our kids sicker and less safe.

When a public safety officer is killed or permanently injured in the line of duty, their family needs immediate, unwavering support — not administrative delays. I’m fighting for changes to the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program to make sure claims are processed reliably and quickly.

When this regime puts its thumb on the scale in favor of fossil fuels over more affordable renewable energy sources, it's Americans who are left to pay the higher electricity and gas prices, while massive profits go directly into the pockets of big oil companies.

Trump bought at least $1 million of Dell stock in February. Since then, he's repeatedly told Americans to buy Dell products. No wonder he has pocketed $2.3 billion off the presidency. The grift never stops.

DOGE and the Trump administration pushed 7,800 workers out of Social Security. Now it's scrambling to hire people back as seniors face longer waits for fewer appointments. What did Trump and DOGE accomplish besides making it harder for people to get the benefits they earned?

Did you know that 1 in 3 kids are underinsured? This means about 23 million kids' healthcare is unable to meet their needs. MediKids solves this problem by guaranteeing comprehensive healthcare for EVERY child. It’s a no-brainer.

As I pointed out this week, experts at the Dept of Commerce warned Trump's deal with a UAE company compromises our national security, but Trump did it anyway as he rakes in money from the Emirati royal family. The whole thing stinks of corruption.

Safety in our communities is paramount but policing US citizens has always been the job of law enforcement, not DOD. The Nat'l Guard deployment in DC is burning readiness, morale & taxpayer dollars on missions that don't belong to the military. Worse, it's eroding public trust our Armed Forces need.

Trump has made billions while in office and wants you to believe there's nothing wrong with it. He’s making himself and other billionaires richer while jacking up prices for everyone else. Being President is supposed to mean serving your country — not cashing in on it.
