Every time you pull up to the pump, you’re paying more and more to fill your tank because of Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Working families deserve better.

Drought is hammering Colorado and only worsening the risk of catastrophic wildfires. We need all hands on deck for this climate emergency.

Health insurance premiums for families are DOUBLING, or in some cases even TRIPLING. Hospitals are worried about cuts or even closure. This is a health care crisis. www.cpr.org/2026/04/24/f...

Recently had a chance to meet with the next generation at Urban Peak in Denver. They’re doing so much here to help these kids succeed in life. We need to uplift their stories, experiences, and support their journeys.

We are the wealthiest country in the world. Health care should be affordable, accessible, and universal. Full stop.

Appalled by the shooting at the White House Correspondents Dinner. A night meant to celebrate the First Amendment was disrupted by political violence, which has no place in America. Grateful to the Secret Service and law enforcement who acted quickly and bravely to save lives.

The National Science Board should be guided by science, not political science. Firing independent experts is a major blow to American innovation and discovery.

Many Americans can’t afford health care and housing. Yet Trump can’t even stay awake at his own “affordability” event. We need to get serious about lowering costs.

It’s common sense. No one should be able to bet on the outcomes of military operations. Let’s pass our BETS OFF Act to make sure this never happens again.

More measles outbreaks, more distrust in science, and more kids getting sick. All thanks to RFK Jr.

It's great to see the federal government finally follow Colorado's lead on cannabis reform. Now let's release and expunge records for those charged with federal marijuana crimes, support small cannabis businesses, and prepare for full legalization. apnews.com/article/medi...

Democrats voted to lower costs. Republicans blocked it to fund ICE.

The president calls affordability a hoax. Over 90% of Americans call it a crisis. Trump’s tariffs, health care cuts, and unwanted war have created a cost-of-living emergency. Across this country, working families are struggling to make ends meet. We won't stop fighting for you.

Americans are asking their government for relief from the cost-of-living emergency driven by this president’s unwanted war, tariffs, and health care cuts. Senate Republicans made their priorities clear. (1/2)

We tried to lower costs for Americans. Republicans blocked it for more ICE funding. Priorities matter.

Why are we having a vote-a-rama? Because Republicans would rather hand ICE a blank check instead of lowering costs for working families.

Five times we’ve tried to end President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Five times Senate Republicans blocked it. We won’t stop pushing to end this unwanted war and tackle the cost-of-living emergency hitting American families.

CO small businesses have been collateral damage in Trump's reckless and illegal trade war. CO importers have paid $1.3B in taxes due to these tariffs. They deserve to get every penny back plus interest. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/u...

We’ve heard from Colorado farmers who are worried they won’t be able to even plant this season due to Trump’s illegal war in Iran. When grocery prices are already high, the last thing we need is to put family farms out of business or ruin supply chains.

It’s 4/20, Colorado! 🍃 As Governor, our state created the gold standard for marijuana legalization. Now, we’re taking it national, with our legislation to set us up for success when marijuana becomes legal nationwide.

Today marks 27 years since 13 Coloradans lost their lives in a senseless, horrific act of violence at Columbine High School. We keep those affected by this tragedy close to our hearts. We’ll fight to protect our communities from gun violence like our kids’ lives depend on it—because they do.

Trump’s economy is ballooning costs for working families, but Montbello’s FreshLo Hub is an example of the power of organizing and uplifting a community. We won’t ever stop fighting for Colorado in Washington.

Affordable and accessible child care is a form of economic freedom for working families. In our meetings with providers and parents at Grand Junction’s Confluence Center, this was crystal clear.

On Yom HaShoah, we mourn and honor the lives of the 6 million Jews and all those murdered by the Nazi regime. Their memory reminds us we must confront antisemitism in all its forms and work together to build a more peaceful world.

Trump’s war in Iran is jacking up prices for working families and American taxpayers are on the hook for the bill. We need to end this illegal war. NOW.

The Trump admin continues to block critical funding for Coloradans who need it most to recover from disaster. Playing politics with disaster aid is inhumane and beneath this country.

Today, we honor the decades of public service by former Colorado Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell and remember his boundless generosity and kindness. He will be sorely missed by the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and all Coloradans.
