We can lower energy prices and protect our climate at the same time. Our climate bill is doing just that but Trump and MAGA Republicans have fought it at every turn, canceling grants, killing jobs, and hurting our climate. Let’s get real about an all-of-the-above approach to energy.

Trump has a laundry list of broken promises. Here are just a few for you:

Teddy Roosevelt said it best: it’s vandalism to destroy what’s beautiful in nature. No matter how many times MAGA tries to degrade, attack, and sell off our public lands, we won’t let them.

Diesel prices at record highs→Cost of doing business rises→Cost of living rises with it. It’s not complicated but it’s complicating life for too many Coloradans. End the war. Bring costs down. www.cbsnews.com/colorado/new...

$43.6 billion spent on Trump’s illegal war thousands of miles away. BILLIONS more spent on increased gas, groceries, and housing costs by working families here in America. Your money down the drain with nothing to show for it.

Xi gets the red carpet. Americans get the boot. Instead of lavish receptions for our adversaries, Trump should start treating Americans like they matter and make life affordable again.

Until Trump, USAID was a bipartisan force for good that saved over 90 million lives, including 30 million children under the age of five, just in this century alone. Heartbreaking to think about the lives lost because of that decision.

Secretary Rubio, DOGE, and all the other leaders who enabled the gutting of USAID will be remembered for one of the most shameful decisions in American history. apnews.com/article/usai...

It’s peak harvesting season, and record-high diesel prices and record-low moisture are having drastic impacts on our farmers. Over $6/gal for diesel makes the business of running a farm unsustainable and drives up the costs for everything else.
- JH
Trump’s economy isn’t working for families across Colorado. It’s time to focus on bringing down costs because Coloradans can’t afford the basics right now.

High energy prices are only made worse when the admin refuses to end the war in Iran or fund clean energy projects that bring down your utility bill.

It’s past time to go all-in. We need decisive action that protects our communities and tackles the crisis at its source by cutting emissions and boosting clean energy.

There’s no waiting, delaying, or procrastinating anymore: climate change is here and now. We see it in the historic drought. Raging wildfires. Worsening natural disasters.

This isn’t the “Golden Age of America” President Trump pretends it is. The reality is working families are getting squeezed while Trump’s ultra-wealthy buddies get richer and richer.

Instead of focusing on building another monument, Trump should focus on building a better economy for Americans.

These resources are what’s needed to help Colorado families and communities recover and prevent future tragedies. We will continue standing with those impacted by these horrific fires and do everything we can to support them in their hour of need.

The Trump administration should reverse this decision. Requests for individual assistance and hazard mitigation grants are not made frivolously.

Americans can’t afford gas. Diesel is up 50% since Trump started his illegal war. Another spike in prices would be even more devastating. This war needs to end. NOW. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Homeownership and the American Dream is not attainable for so many, and it’s only getting worse because of Trump’s economy.

At a time when Trump’s economy is already unaffordable, the dream of home ownership is only getting further out of reach. We have to end the administration’s harmful tariffs and unwanted war with Iran and start bringing down costs for working families. www.wsj.com/economy/hous...

Folks should be able to afford the healthcare they need to lead a healthy, long life. It’s time to buck this trend and deliver on universal healthcare that works for hardworking Americans. That starts by reversing MAGA’s $1 trillion cut to our healthcare system.

Coloradans are facing higher prices everywhere they turn, and borrowing is about to get even more expensive. We have to end the administration’s harmful tariffs and unwanted war with Iran and start bringing down costs for working families.

President Trump promised to bring prices down. Instead, inflation is higher now than when President Biden left office.

The war has already cost taxpayers tens of billions. U.S. forces have also burned through as much as two-thirds of certain missile-defense interceptors leaving us less safe. Every day we spend fighting this forever war is another day we’re not fighting high costs here at home. It needs to end.

Tracking the money means cheaper, more competitive prices for patients. Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act is the first step towards healthcare that’s affordable, accessible, and universal. Let’s get this bill passed.

This past month we went all around Colorado, from the Front Range, to the Eastern Plains, to the Western Slope, and everywhere in between. Hearing from Coloradans and taking their stories back to Washington is the most powerful form of representation.

The only conceivable reason for ICE to be at polling places is to spread the same fear and intimidation we’ve already seen in our communities. Every eligible American should be able to cast their ballot freely and safely. We’ll keep fighting tooth and nail to protect that sacred right.
