Election criminals like Tina Peters don’t deserve pardons. They don’t deserve commutations. And they sure as hell don’t deserve a dime of your taxpayer money from Trump’s slush fund. www.ms.now/opinion/tina...

As we mark the one year anniversary of the antisemitic attack on the Jewish community in Boulder, our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the Jewish community forever changed by this senseless act of hate.

The Trump admin is in no rush to make life affordable again for working Americans. We’re in a cost-of-living emergency and he’s putting gold on statues.

We met with Colorado families at Mile High United Way to hear about their experiences pushing through the cost-of-living emergency. We need to make the basics affordable so families can thrive.

President Trump wants to make it harder for Americans to vote because his illegal tariffs, war, and healthcare cuts are crushing working families. Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and accessible. We proved that in Colorado when we expanded it statewide during my time as governor.

The healthcare stories we hear from Coloradans are heartbreaking. This shouldn’t happen in the wealthiest country in the world.

Healthcare is a right, not a privilege. Republicans’ “One Big Beautiful Bill” ripped nearly $1 trillion out of our healthcare system, putting vulnerable Americans at risk so billionaires could get more tax breaks. It’s cruel. And we will never stop fighting to reverse these devastating cuts.

Americans are feeling the financial shock of a Trump economy. An illegal war, reckless tariffs, and zero thought for working families.

Three years ago, a court found Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. Now, Trump is using the DOJ to target his victim. It’s disgusting even by Trump standards. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/27/u...

Allowing our CO Air National Guard members to remain in Greeley is the right decision that gives much-needed clarity to our servicemembers and their families. The assignment also helps ensure these talented professionals can continue serving and making Colorado proud.

ICE is completely out of control. We can’t have a rogue, masked police force separating families and terrorizing our communities. Not one penny more for ICE.

We don’t need an illegal war with Iran. We need to fight the rising healthcare costs hammering Americans.

Colorado is facing a water crisis. We won’t stop pushing the administration until all of the $152 million in grants we secured for the CO River are released.

Not this nonsense again. Shutting down customs at major U.S. airports would hurt millions of American businesses, workers, and families — not to mention totally upend international travel. Another example of Trump making life harder when he should be lowering costs.

It’s called the 14th amendment. It’s in our constitution, President Trump. We know you’re cheap on everything but ballrooms, so we found you the cheapest one.

This weekend, 45 million Americans are traveling. They’re paying more at the pump and at the airport. Gas is up 52%. Jet fuel is up 56%. Trump’s illegal war with Iran is the reason. Tina Peters doesn’t deserve more money in her pocket, you do. (2/2)

Enough with the money for slush funds, bombs, and tax breaks for billionaires. Republicans created a healthcare emergency by letting ACA subsidies expire, putting coverage at risk for millions of Americans. We need to get back to lowering costs for working families.

Kalshi and Polymarket have a history of using influencers as young as 15 to market their platforms to teenagers. They’ve let insiders make huge profits on bets. We grilled them in a Senate hearing today. We see this for what it is.

America First was just a marketing slogan because Trump First doesn’t sell. It’s always been about Trump. Trump’s finances. Trump’s family. Trump’s name on everything. Meanwhile your gas, groceries, housing, and healthcare costs keep rising. You should be a priority, not an afterthought.

These “prediction markets” are ripe for corruption. The world shouldn’t be one big casino. We should pass our BETS Off Act ASAP to stop people from profiting off of war and government decisions.

Finally. The Senate just took a step in the right direction to stop Trump’s illegal war with Iran that’s created a cost of living emergency for folks at home. Congress needs to assert its constitutional duty and do what the President won’t—help Americans and end his war of choice.

Slashing limits on harmful forever chemicals in our drinking water won’t “Make America Healthy Again.” The admin talks a big game about “MAHA,” but when forced to choose between polluters and public health, they side with polluters every time. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...
