I warned this would happen. Pete Hegseth’s confirmation meant a compliant Pentagon—and that’s exactly what we continue to see. We need leaders who restrain the President, not amplify his impulses. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

It cost ~$215,000 to run a winning campaign for Congress when I first ran. That’d barely get a campaign off the ground today. Dark money in politics is a crisis—and Citizens United enabled it.

President Trump has talked a big game about America's foreign policy failures. But, in just one year, he's become a foreign policy President: dropping bombs on seven countries and two oceans, and promising to use U.S. tax dollars to make *other* countries rich. youtube.com/shorts/TAzDM...

I don’t want to just fiddle around the margins. We need a national emergency on housing, and my bill does just that.

One year into the Senate, I heard the same thing over and over: it has been a hard year for our country and our community. But everywhere I go, I still see good people who love their families, love this country, and want to do the right thing. That goodness is worth fighting for.

I've said repeatedly that I will not support one dime of funding for Trump's lawless ICE operations. The funding bill released today fails to sufficiently rein them in or ensure people's rights are protected. I'm voting NO.

Last year, Trump ripped away $500 MILLION from Howard Hanson Dam—critical for flood control, our water supply, & habitat restoration. Pure corruption. Well, I just passed the funding to get construction back on track. Don't mess with our water. Don't mess with our fish.

Actions have consequences. Trump cares more about picking fights with our friends and allies than he does our own economic security. The American people want a president who cares about strengthening our economy, not throwing it into complete chaos.

16 years after the Citizens United decision, we are living with its consequences: a corrupt administration beholden to America’s wealthiest donors, not its people.

It’s treasures like these that Trump and his BLM nominee Steve Pearce, a fierce advocate for selling off our public lands, want to take away from us. I’m a NO on Steve Pearce. Colorado’s public lands are NEVER for sale.

Everything is getting more expensive for working people, but Trump is abusing his power to make himself at least $1.4 billion richer. The most corrupt President in American history. A government of, by, and for the crooks.

Trump has spent his first year back in office making life more expensive for Coloradans. He has hiked health insurance costs, driven up energy prices, and cut taxes for the wealthiest—all while his tariffs add thousands in annual costs for working families.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs for Americans on Day 1. A year later, families can tell you that is just not happening.

Trump says US needs Greenland to protect Greenland from Russia. That is probably not in the top 100 national security threats we face. It is not a threat I have once ever heard mentioned, until now.

It was an honor to be recognized at last night’s National Cultural Diversity Council Martin Luther King, Jr. Dinner. At a moment when hard-won civil rights protections are under pressure, I’m reminded of Dr. King's teachings and our collective duty to show up for our communities.

Just last week, Trump claimed “inflation is stopped.” But YOU know that’s a lie. In fact, his first year back in office cost NV families an EXTRA $1,500 each on average. Prices are up on everything from housing to groceries and Nevadans can’t afford three more years of Trump’s reckless tariffs.

It's officially been one year of Trump breaking his campaign promises to the American people. Here's what Trump's "America First" agenda looks like: — Skyrocketing health care costs — Biggest cut to Medicaid in history — Higher costs under reckless tariffs — Running Venezuela

Over the last year, President Trump pardoned dozens of criminals. Combined, they were ordered to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in fines and restitution. Trump let them off the hook. Nothing says cracking down on crime like letting criminals run free.

Just like the water cycle we all learned about in grade school, when politicians receive money from special interests, they then make it rain on these special interests with favors, pardons, favorable legislation, and government contracts. I break it down.

ICE agents are now racially profiling and harassing *off duty police officers* in Minnesota and demanding their papers.

Today I talked with police chiefs from across the metro area. This isn’t just happening in Mpls and St. Paul. The 3000 ICE agents are in the suburbs and across our state. The surge is disrupting the work of local law enforcement.

On the campaign trail, President Trump promised to lower the cost of everything. Yet, at every turn, he has chosen to make life more expensive for American families. While President Trump calls affordability concerns a "hoax," the numbers tell a different story. 🧵(1/5)

69-22, Americans feel utility costs going up. They are. Believe your own eyes. Trump keeps inexpensive clean energy off the grid to pay off his big fossil fuel donors. It’s on purpose; a deliberate scam to make you pay more so his corrupt fossil fuel donors make more.

As a member of the committee that oversees DHS, I’m calling on Sec. Noem and Tom Homan to testify in front of the Senate immediately. The deployment of ICE agents across the country is putting our communities at risk. You deserve answers and accountability.

Undertrained, unaccountable ICE officers are putting Americans’ lives in danger while law enforcement agencies who know their communities go underfunded thanks to Trump. My PUBLIC SAFETY Act with @cortezmasto.senate.gov takes $75 billion from ICE and gives it to local cops who keep our streets safe.

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

Trump promised his tariffs would bring manufacturing “roaring back.” Instead, factory jobs have fallen nearly every month since April, as higher input costs and uncertainty hit U.S. producers. This article explains why.
