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.

Public health officials can’t stop a TB outbreak they’re not allowed to track. ICE’s refusal to follow Colorado law or give Congress answers puts lives at risk. www.denverpost.com/2026/09/22/i...

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

Had the best time with Mayor Yemi and everyone who attended the Colorado Korean Festival! At a period when there is so much division in this country, I'm moved to see so much unity and joy.

Coloradans want leaders who focus on them. They don't want leaders who focus on themselves.

Not only a waste of taxpayer money, but we can all see past their attempts to rewrite history.

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 don’t want a President who only looks to enrich their bank account and build monuments to themselves. They need leaders who focus on building better lives for American families.

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

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.

Had a great time at Emily Griffith Technical College’s new Osage Campus in Denver. Apprenticeships are a great way for young folks to start their careers in their dream fields. This new campus will only further strengthen that pathway for Coloradans.

25 years ago on September 11th, our nation suffered the worst terrorist attack in our history. Today, we’re remembering those lost, including the brave first responders who risked their lives to help those in need on that traumatic day. We’ll never forget.

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.

Our thoughts are with the students, teachers, and families of Evergreen High School and the entire community who experienced a terrible act of violence one year ago today. We’ll always fight to come together and end gun violence in our communities.

$1M every two minutes. That’s how much Americans are paying for Trump’s illegal war in gas prices alone. While your costs keep rising, Trump’s focused on vanity projects and forever wars. www.axios.com/2026/09/07/i...

The gap between the top 1% and the rest of America is growing. Too many families are living paycheck to paycheck. We should be uplifting American workers, not just the wealthy few.

Got the chance to sit down with healthcare providers in Lamar who are experiencing devastating cuts to rural healthcare firsthand. Our rural hospitals are often the only lifeline for miles. Now is the time to boost funding for rural healthcare, not cut it.

Very saddened to hear about the attack on Ohio gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton at the Canfield Fair. We are grateful to law enforcement for their swift actions to save lives. Political violence has no place in America, not now and not ever.

As I travel across Colorado this month, we keep hearing the same thing: everyday essentials cost too much. Colorado is facing a cost-of-living emergency made worse by President Trump’s illegal war, tariffs, and massive healthcare cuts.

It’s been over six months since Trump started his illegal war with Iran. Shortly after, he declared ‘complete and total’ victory. Americans see right through the lies. They’re sick of waking up to headlines of servicemembers lost and higher prices everywhere.

At Timberline Fire Station #3 in Black Hawk, we saw firsthand what investing in our first responders looks like. This momentum can’t stop. Our communities and first responders need the support more than ever.
