ICE is ripping families apart and ruining children’s lives. What violent crime did a nine-year-old commit to be detained for FOUR MONTHS?!? ICE is out of control and needs a top-to-bottom overhaul.

Trump didn’t get his way. His reckless tariffs were always illegal and punished working families and small businesses just trying to make ends meet. The law is clear: only Congress can set tariffs.

The Trump administration is weaponizing child care funding to punish families.

ICE has failed to provide to us the information on the reports of their agents leaving “death cards” in detainee’s vehicles in Eagle County. When we requested a meeting this week, ICE kicked the can down the road. We need immediate transparency, not deflections. (1/2) bsky.app/profile/hick...

An update: these two young women who were detained by ICE for MONTHS were finally released yesterday. They should have never been in there to begin with.

We knew President Trump’s tariffs were clearly illegal. That’s why we signed an amicus brief giving the Supreme Court more information and urging them to reject his use of tariffs.

President Trump’s tariffs were blatantly illegal from the start and made life unaffordable for working families and small businesses. The Supreme Court confirmed today that tariffs are taxes and only Congress can set them. (1/2)

Had a chance to sit down with veterans down in Pueblo. Trump’s cuts to health care and VA staff are slashing veterans' services. We should honor our promise to folks who served our country.

Windy day down in Pueblo County visiting the construction site of the Arkansas Valley Conduit. Trump took away funding for thousands of rural Coloradans to get safe, reliable drinking water. We won’t stop fighting to get it completed.

Down in Teller County today, we heard about how Trump’s economy is making life harder for Americans in rural communities. We should be supporting our local businesses and working families, not crushing them.

Trump’s new prescription drug plan costs thousands more than generics. His “plan” will only leave your wallets and prescriptions empty. We already know Big Pharma is ripping Americans off. But working families need health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.

Trump told the American people that his tariffs would bring back American manufacturing jobs. In reality, they’re doing the exact opposite. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

ICE is targeting people based on the language they speak or the color of their skin. They’re separating families and detaining people without any due process. ICE needs to be overhauled NOW. www.propublica.org/article/immi...

126 years ago today, “Daddy” Bruce Randolph was born. He was a true Denver legend and a fellow restaurant entrepreneur who truly loved his community. This Black History Month, we honor the legacy of Daddy Bruce and his son, Bruce Randolph Jr.

I’m a small business guy. One of the reasons I got into public service and ran for Mayor of Denver was because I felt the government wasn’t doing enough to support small businesses.

This winter’s alarmingly low snowpack across Colorado adds an exclamation point to the already dire drought in the Basin. If we don’t address this problem together – head-on and fast – our communities, farms, and economies will suffer. (1/3)

Trump’s attacks on child care hurt Americans across the country. Families deserve better.

Republicans had two weeks to work with us to overhaul ICE. Yet, they chose to shut down DHS instead. They can’t keep asking us to ignore what we’ve seen with our own eyes. ICE needs a top-to-bottom overhaul to stop them from terrorizing our communities.

Republicans rebranded their original SAVE Act to the SAVE America Act, but its goal is the same. They want to stop Americans from using their RIGHT to vote. I was a no then, I’ll be a no now.

The American people have seen with their own eyes that ICE is out of control. The agency needs a top-to-bottom overhaul. We proposed commonsense reforms — like body cameras, judicial warrants, and strict restraints on the use of force — things that are standard for local law enforcement agencies.

This reckless decision puts our health at risk and will let harmful emissions dirty our air and water. While the Trump administration continues to attack science, it’s our communities who will pay the price.

By cancelling this funding, President Trump is jeopardizing the health of Coloradans and making America more susceptible to future outbreaks. These cuts should be reversed immediately. www.denverpost.com/2026/02/10/t...

Trump wants to silence people he disagrees with, but we are a nation of laws. Intimidation is a classic authoritarian tactic.

Kids should be going to school and dreaming about a better world, not being detained in poorly run facilities. They’re just kids. ICE needs to stop separating families and arresting children.

President Trump claims ICE is targeting “the worst of the worst.” In reality, they’re targeting people with no criminal history, separating families, and killing people in the streets.

Sending masked federal agents to terrorize people at the grocery store, at school, and in their homes is just wrong. Overhaul ICE!

A little over one year into Trump’s second term and Americans are getting ripped off. Costs are rising, tariffs are wrecking small businesses, and affordable homes are nowhere to be found.

Is the President sharing these disgusting racist images to distract people from his ICE agents killing people in the street? I don't even think he deserves that credit. Every single Republican should denounce this immediately.
