The Colorado River is running dry. The megadrought in the West is getting worse and worse. This is a climate emergency.

Enough with the whiplash. Americans don’t want anything to do with this illegal, costly war.

It’s been 10 years since 49 innocent lives were taken from us in the Pulse Nightclub shooting that targeted members of the LGBTQ+ community. We hold the victims and their loved ones in our hearts today as we continue to fight for an America free from the terrors of gun violence.

We helped stop Trump's DOJ slush fund for Tina Peters and January 6th rioters. Now the courts are keeping it frozen. Election criminals should never receive a taxpayer-funded payout. Period.

Americans are tired of the whiplash. We need to end the chaos and end this illegal war NOW!

The three pillars of Trump’s economic agenda: → Bragging about a higher trade deficit → Showing ZERO care for Americans' pocketbooks → Celebrating inflation

DOGE’s painful legacy is coming into view and it’s as ugly as one of these worms. The Trump admin needs to get this screwworm issue under control before it hurts more of our farmers.

Trump’s economy: 4.2% inflation and working families squeezed on gas, groceries, healthcare, and housing. The priorities are backwards. End this illegal war and let’s focus on making life affordable.

The bare minimum requirement for an attorney general is to respect the constitution and the rule of law above all. Todd Blanche doesn’t even meet those basic requirements. He shouldn’t be the next leader of the DOJ.

Transparency, justice, and accountability. All things we’re demanding from ICE here in Colorado.

8 times we've voted to end Trump's illegal war in Iran. 38 times Trump lied that a deal was imminent. $100 billion later, costs skyrocketing, and we're all still waiting. The war needs to end NOW. www.cnn.com/2026/06/09/p...

Republicans have already taken $1 trillion out of our healthcare system. They won’t stop until they dismantle it even further and take social security down with it. Americans pay for these programs. They should NEVER be cut just to line the pockets of Trump and the ultra-wealthy.

Nearly 70,000 Coloradans rely on insulin to stay alive. No one should have to choose between paying rent and paying for life-saving medication. We took the first step in capping insulin costs at $35/month with our Inflation Reduction Act. Now, it’s time to do it for EVERYONE.

Ask any Colorado farmer what's keeping them up at night: costs and water. Trump's tariffs and war are driving up costs, while his delays on Colorado River drought funding are making an already serious water crisis even worse.

When we first envisioned the Wynkoop, I was a laid-off geologist who didn’t know the first thing about starting a business. But through a lot of grit and determination, we were able to get it off the ground. (1/2)

Trump is completely unhinged. He promised to lower costs. Instead, his tariffs, health care cuts, and war with Iran have sent prices soaring. While Americans struggle to pay their bills, he's focused on settling scores and chasing crazy conspiracy theories. Enough is enough.

The DOJ needs a leader who believes in equal justice and the rule of law — not the rule of Trump. Todd Blanche was the architect of the slush fund for Trump’s cronies, Tina Peters, and January 6 rioters. He has no business leading the DOJ. Not now. Not ever.

The Trump admin has made it crystal clear that they’d rather run with conspiracy theories than trusted science. The American people deserve to hear directly from Trump’s NSF director nominee. There should be a Senate hearing ASAP. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/s...

Trump says he only hires the best people. Yet his administration just hired a convicted Jan 6th rioter to work inside a Pentagon office that manages highly classified military operations. If you attack the Capitol, you should NEVER get a government paycheck or a taxpayer payout.

I owned a brewpub. Trust me: nobody walks into a restaurant excited to pay more. Higher gas, grocery, and restaurant bills aren’t signs of confidence—they’re signs that this administration’s policies are hurting working families.

Bill Pulte has zero intelligence experience. He’s spent the bulk of his time in government targeting Trump’s enemies. As always, Trump is choosing loyalty over national security. That puts all of us at risk.

Parents shouldn’t have to worry about whether they can afford the healthcare their children need to survive. But that's what we heard from families in Denver.

Trump's DOJ slush fund may be dead for now. But we must end it permanently. Not a damn dime of your taxpayer dollars should go to Tina Peters, Jan. 6 rioters, or election criminals. My reconciliation amendment will stop them. Soon, every senator will have to choose a side.

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.

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.
