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...

Our farmers are our best entrepreneurs, but they can’t do it alone. During this record drought, we need to do more to help them.

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.

Instead of ending his illegal war with Iran and focusing on Americans here at home, President Trump is fixated on vanity projects that cost YOU the taxpayer. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/07/u...

The Arkansas Valley Conduit will be a vital resource for 50,000+ Coloradans. We’ll fight until the very end to get this project finished.

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.

Colorado leads the nation in aerospace innovation. Companies like Agile Space Industries and communities like Durango take that ingenuity to new heights 🚀

Students across Colorado are standing up for what’s right. They know ICE is out of control and they can’t just sit back. These young folks are exercising their first amendment right to demand an end to ICE’s lawlessness, cruelty, and lack of accountability. www.denverpost.com/2026/09/03/c...

Our farmers, producers, and ranchers are our best entrepreneurs. We met with folks from across the Eastern Plains to hear how our agriculture community is dealing with skyrocketing prices and historic drought.

We’ll continue standing shoulder to shoulder with those impacted by these tragedies and urge the administration to swiftly approve Colorado’s remaining requests for Individual Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant funding. (2/2)

We’re glad to see the communities impacted by the Aspen Acres and Gold Mountain fires will begin receiving some of the critical federal resources they need and deserve to help get back on their feet. (1/2)

We need to make healthcare affordable, accessible, and universal. A huge first step will be passing our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act into law to finally bring price transparency to our healthcare system. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

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.

We won’t let this admin’s attempts to undermine our free and fair elections stand. Mail-in voting is safe, secure, and accessible for millions of Americans. That’s why Trump uses it himself.

Weaponizing government against news coverage you don’t like is right out of the authoritarian playbook. This is America. Freedom of the press and freedom of speech were the first bricks laid in our country’s foundation.

While Colorado families are struggling to put gas in their tanks, President Trump is making money hand over fist off his prolonged, illegal war.

What a sad waste of your tax dollars. No propaganda can change what Americans feel at the pump and the checkout line. End this war. NOW.

Coloradans are sick of paying the tax for Trump’s tariffs. The President’s reckless economic agenda won’t get in the way of Colorado and Canada’s partnership. www.axios.com/local/denver...

Childcare is a form of economic freedom for hardworking families across Colorado. The folks down at Durango’s Powerhouse understand that fully. Working hard to address the shortage of childcare spots requires consistent funding. That’s what we’re fighting for.

Colorado is in the middle of an extreme drought. The impacts are real but so is our grit. The outdoor rec industry in Colorado is a lifeline for so many and a global phenomenon. That’s not possible without Coloradans who pull up their sleeves when the going gets tough.

Always a pleasure to meet with the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe in Towaoc. We’re going to continue fighting for Tribal sovereignty and securing federal funding that helps the Tribe address their needs.

Colorado Springs is already the epicenter of our national security and space efforts. This unnecessary proposal is yet another example of the president seeking to distract from his illegal war in Iran and the economic pain it has caused everyday Americans. (3/3)

To duplicate that effort at a time when our national deficit is soaring, is reckless and makes a dire situation even worse. (2/3)

President Trump’s proposed plan is duplicative, costly, and unserious. Establishing a dedicated service academy for space may sound good on paper, but our nation already has an exceptional institution that trains tomorrow’s Space Force leaders: it’s called the U.S. Air Force Academy. (1/3)

The McPhee Reservoir is just one example of how devastating this record 1,200-year drought is in the West. We need to collaborate to tackle our new water future.

Liam Tadeo is 5 years old. He was on his way to a soccer game with his dad when ICE arrested them. This week, he was deported. Liam should be on a playground with friends at school. ICE’s cruelty needs to end NOW.

Our bipartisan Fix Our Forests Act addresses our wildfire crisis head on. Communities should be more resilient and better prepared to battle wildfires of the future. There’s no time to waste. Let’s get it passed.

Yesterday, we visited the site of the largest gas spill in Colorado history, just outside of Durango. Here’s the bottom line: the cleanup must stay ahead of the spread. We’ll keep pushing for accountability to protect public health and the environment.

Social media companies can’t continue to push addictive algorithms onto our kids. Profits should never come before their mental health. Glad to see social media companies held accountable and make real changes. But we won’t stop pushing to make kids safer. abcnews.com/Technology/w...

More than half of the people Trump’s ICE is arresting have ZERO criminal history. Many are simply waiting on our backlogged immigration system. What happened to going after the worst of the worst? ICE needs a top to bottom overhaul.

36% of American households carry medical debt. Americans owe over $200 billion in medical debt. As many as 550,000 file for bankruptcy each year because of it. It’s time to make healthcare more affordable, transparent, and accessible. No one should go into debt just to get care they need.

Farmers are some of America’s most resilient entrepreneurs. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t do all we can to make their life and business easier. We need to bring down costs for American farmers by ending Trump’s illegal tariffs, war in Iran, and passing a new Farm Bill.

Dolly Parton was a country music pioneer and American icon. Her influence extended far beyond music, and her philanthropy and Imagination Library have left a lasting impact on Colorado and our country. She’ll be sorely missed.

President Trump is restricting Americans’ ability to vote because his presidency is a disaster. Instead of ending his war, repealing his tariffs, and lowering prices for working families, Trump is trying to protect himself from accountability. (1/2) apnews.com/article/trum...
