This is where we’re at. The Trump admin is literally crowdsourcing war strategy.

Should people in the richest nation in history receive healthcare that’s accessible, affordable, and universal? The answer is YES. Healthcare should be a human right, not a luxury for the well off.

Disaster relief shouldn’t hinge on who you voted for.

The average Colorado family has paid $3,700 more in goods and services since Trump took office. The longer this illegal war continues, the more Colorado families will pay. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Our brave firefighters are doing everything they can with what they have to battle this drought-driven wildfire season. We all need to keep fighting for the resources they need to continue their outstanding work. www.axios.com/local/denver...

When we protect public lands, we’re preserving Colorado’s ecosystems, ensuring all people have access to outdoor recreation, and protecting beautiful landscapes for generations to come. Public lands are central to Colorado’s identity. They’re not for sale. Not now. Not ever.

Last week we learned ICE will only release body-camera footage when it's in the agency's "best interests." Now we're learning they're spending $20 MILLION on gloves that electrocute people. ICE is out of control. Not one more penny for their lawlessness.

Trump isn't helping your household afford the basics. He's too busy spending your tax dollars making the White House a tacky mess. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

When we talk to folks in Northern Colorado and across the state, we hear the same thing: MAGA’s cuts to healthcare and food assistance are making it harder for working families to get by.

While Governor of Colorado, we implemented commonsense gun laws. We brought that momentum to Congress where we passed the first major federal gun safety law in nearly 30 years. Gabby Giffords and I refuse to let Trump bully our communities into reversing gun safety laws that keep our kids safe.

Fact: Vaccines save lives. The Trump admin is ignoring science once again and it’s putting kids' lives at risk.

President Trump is selling information to his Wall Street buddies. This White House is as corrupt as it gets.

6 MONTHS. That’s how long Trump’s illegal, costly war with Iran has dragged on with no end in sight. August marks six months since American families have been shouldering the cost for it at the gas pump, and anywhere they decide to spend their hard earned dollars. Trump needs to end this war.

Climate change is the existential crisis of our time. Historic drought. Lowest snowpack in decades. Raging wildfires. (1/2)

Had the honor to chat with Lorena Cantarovici, the Founder and CEO of Denver’s Maria Empanada before she testified at our Small Business Committee hearing to highlight American-made small businesses. Her story is the American Dream.

We’re collecting healthcare stories from Coloradans to show just how broken the system is. Was there a time you were charged too much for services? Have you ever received a surprise medical bill? Share your stories through our form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Today is the International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples. We honor Native American communities — including Colorado's Ute Mountain Ute and Southern Ute Tribes — and celebrate their culture while recommitting to Tribal sovereignty and a more just future together.

The whole point of body cameras is transparency — not giving ICE the power to hide its lawlessness. ICE doesn’t deserve another penny without accountability. apnews.com/article/ice-...

The SAVE America Act had another failed vote. Good. This MAGA voter suppression bill should never pass. Focus instead on lowering costs for working families.

ICE is trying to cover up an outbreak of tuberculosis in their Aurora detention facility by refusing to work with public health officials. We’ll continue showing up at the detention facility to demand answers and hold ICE accountable.

We just introduced a resolution to put a stop to President Trump’s illegal war with Iran. American lives have been lost. Gas and fertilizer prices have skyrocketed. Our military stockpiles drained. End this war. NOW.

Americans can’t afford the basics: gas, groceries, healthcare. The last thing taxpayers should be funding are bloated warships with Trump’s name painted on them. www.cnn.com/2026/08/06/u...

Trump is CRUSHING working families and our economy. Jobs lost. Wages plummeting. Costs soaring. Focus on the American people, not bombs, ballrooms, and billionaires.

The DOJ slush fund isn't dead. It's dormant. The confirmation process is the Senate's best chance to end it for good. A DOJ letter promising the slush fund won't move forward isn't law. It isn't binding. And it isn't enough.

As we celebrate the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, we’re determined to protect this fundamental right for all Americans now and in the future.

When Todd Blanche says the DOJ slush fund for election criminals like Tina Peters isn't moving forward, we should not believe him. His word is worth about as much as the Trump Meme Coin. I will vote no on his nomination for Attorney General.

No affordable housing for you. But Trump gets a brand-new $5 million helipad. Not one nickel of your taxpayer dollars should go toward Trump’s vanity projects while working families can’t afford the basics.

Wildfires are raging across the West and climate change is adding fuel to the fire. We’re thankful for our first responders battling these fires and we’re committed to fighting for the resources they need.

We’ll vote NO on Todd Blanche to lead the DOJ. Americans deserve an independent AG who respects the rule of law, not someone who refuses to stand up to Donald Trump.

This drought is hurting Coloradans all around the state. Farmers are fallowing their fields. Families are cutting back on water use. Outdoor rec is hurting. To address our water future, we need more funding for projects battling this drought. www.denverpost.com/2026/08/02/c...

We have a few ideas: Stop looking for creative ways to continue this illegal war. End the war. Bring down costs. Focus on Americans here at home.

We aren’t letting our guard down. We’ll keep up the fight to make sure election deniers and criminals can’t get a ridiculous taxpayer-funded bailout.

A good life starts with a good home. Housing shouldn’t be out of reach for working Americans. We’re in Loveland to talk about how our housing bill prevents Wall Street from dominating the housing market AND cuts red tape so we can build more homes NOW.

As governor of Colorado, we created the gold-standard mail-in voting system in the country. Now, red states and blue states alike use it because it’s safe and secure. Trump is attacking mail-in voting and is obsessed with the SAVE America Act because he wants to make it harder for YOU to vote.

We owe it to the families of the firefighters who lost their lives battling wildfires to conduct an investigation and get answers. With wildfires still raging across Colorado, we can't afford to wait months to learn lessons that could save lives right now. www.cpr.org/2026/07/30/f...

Every day the Iran war drags on, Americans pay the price. Donald Trump has little incentive to end it when his billionaire friends keep getting richer while working people struggle to fill their tanks and pay for the basics.

Over and over, Congress has forced votes to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran. Americans DO NOT WANT this deadly conflict. It’s simple: to lower costs and protect lives, this war needs to end. NOW.

It’s simple. Patients deserve price tags. Let’s pass our bill and bring transparency to healthcare.

We fought tooth and nail to create a program to lower drug costs for seniors, and now Trump is killing it. It's cruel and just plain wrong. Our seniors should be able to afford medication, not priced out of life-saving healthcare. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/28/b...

MAGA Republicans cut $1 trillion from our healthcare system at a time when rural hospitals were already struggling. A $10 billion bandaid program that only lasts five years does not fix the problem. Let’s get serious.

Denying asylum seekers a fair hearing betrays both due process and America's tradition of welcoming the stranger. We must keep fighting for an immigration system that is humane, just, and worthy of our values. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
