As a geologist, I’ll translate: the White House demolished a perfectly fine, historic walkway and replaced it with expensive granite. Americans want cheaper gas and groceries, and Trump keeps wasting your money on vanity projects.

Masked agents. Families torn apart. Our communities terrorized. Not one more penny for Trump’s lawless ICE.

Our public lands aren't for sale to fund billionaire tax breaks. Not now. Not ever. When MAGA Republicans tried to sell off our public lands we fought them and won. These lands should be cherished and preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is hurting Americans at the pump, the grocery store, and everywhere in between. Trump ran on lowering costs. Instead he’s raising them.

Tina Peters doesn’t deserve a dime of your taxpayer money. She deserves to be in jail. We led the fight that forced the White House to back down from its disgraceful slush fund for election criminals and the Jan. 6 rioters. And we'll keep fighting until it's dead permanently.

Americans want reliable and affordable energy. To keep up with demand and to combat climate change, we need more investments in clean energy projects. We’ve fought the Trump admin’s reckless cuts to clean energy alternatives at every turn.

No one in Colorado ever did more to promote music, musicians, and the thousands of ways they make Colorado a paradise for all of us lucky enough to call this place home. And no one ever did more to promote the public good and community benefits than Bret Saunders.

We voted twice this week to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran that’s raising costs on you and your family. The president is focused on everything except lowering costs for American families.

President Trump should foot the bill for his disastrous work on the reflecting pool. It’s a national treasure, not a rushed vanity project for a photo-op. apnews.com/article/refl...

Alongside Republican clerks we created the gold standard mail-in voting system in Colorado. It’s safe, secure, and saves money. The admin’s attacks on mail-in voting are an attack on voting rights. Plain and simple. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Women should make their own healthcare decisions, not politicians. On the fourth anniversary of the Dobbs decision, we’re fighting to restore reproductive freedom.

How do you spend $16 million on the Reflecting Pool and end up with this crap? Congress needs to investigate this immediately. Trump needs to reimburse taxpayers. The American people deserve answers.

The Reflecting Pool belongs to the American people. The bill for this mess belongs to one person: President Donald J. Trump. We’re calling on him to personally reimburse taxpayers for this disaster. If he wants a green reflecting pool with algae and dead ducks, he can pay for it himself.

It’s ballrooms for him. No housing for you. Once again, Trump is putting himself first over lowering costs for you and your family.

Colorado loves our public lands. When Trump and MAGA Republicans tried to sell them off to the highest bidder, we fought back and WON. Our public lands are NEVER for sale.

Trump’s cruel cuts are leaving 800,000 kids hungry. All so billionaires can get tax breaks. If only he cared about your family as much as he does about himself or his friends.

As a former small business owner, your greatest foe is uncertainty. Trump’s on-again and off-again tariffs are making it harder and more uncertain for Americans to keep their businesses running and make ends meet.

Violence, hate, and antisemitism have no place anywhere. Today, the Senate passed our resolution marking the one-year anniversary of the antisemitic attack on Boulder’s Jewish community, which took place on June 1, 2025.

At a time when it feels like we can’t agree on anything. We can agree that a fundamental part of the American Dream is the ability to buy a home. The bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act addresses the affordable housing crisis in concrete ways.

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We need to keep fighting for universal healthcare so everyone has access to the care they need and deserve.

Two things keep coming up when I talk to farmers across Colorado: costs and water. Trump’s illegal war and tariffs are driving up costs. And his administration’s slow walking of Colorado River grants has only made our water crisis worse. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Lynn Bartels was a one-of-a-kind person. That’s not a cliche she would have tolerated in a story, but it’s the truth about her. She had a knack for breaking big stories, asking smart questions, and holding all of us accountable. (1/2)

Americans already paid the price for Trump’s illegal war through months of higher costs. Meanwhile, Iran stands to receive hundreds of billions in post-war relief. Iran gets money back. You don't. It’s despicable. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/18/w...

Happy Juneteenth! Today we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. As we look back, we’re also looking forward. The fight continues for America’s promise of a country with TRUE justice for all.

It’s common sense: Dreamers deserve a pathway to citizenship.

So you’re telling me that: → Trump took us to war with Iran → Gave us no strategy or plan → Spent billions of dollars and depleted our military stockpiles → Sent gas prices soaring at the pump for Americans → Threatened the livelihoods of our farmers and ranchers with rising fertilizer costs (1/3)

ICE isn't targeting the “worst of the worst.” They’re separating families and profiling people based on their skin color or the language they speak. It’s cruel and un-American. abcnews.com/US/3-recent-...

$100B spent. 14 servicemembers lost. Military stockpiles drained. Costs soaring. Trump’s “deal” with Iran puts the U.S. in a worse position than we were before his illegal war began.

$300M of YOUR taxpayer money for Trump’s gold-plated ballroom? HELL NO.

Colorado families are shelling out $3,300 MORE on average since Trump took office. Washington needs to get back to focusing on what matters: making life more affordable for working Americans.

In the past 14 years, thousands of Dreamers have been able to pursue their American Dream because of DACA. Attacks on DACA will never be tolerated and the fight continues to give Dreamers the pathway to citizenship they deserve.

DACA is just common sense. Dreamers know no other home than here in the U.S. They should be protected, not attacked by an administration hellbent on separating families.
