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.

Today in our Senate Small Business Committee hearing, we highlighted small biz owners like Lorena, Founder and CEO of Maria Empanada in Denver. Her success story embodies the American Dream.

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...

Everything costs more under Trump’s economy: housing, gas, electricity, groceries, and healthcare have become totally unaffordable for working families.

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/...

The SAVE Act is a wolf in sheep's clothing–voter suppression dressed up as an election security bill. We’re still a HELL NO on the SAVE Act. Our elections are safe and secure.

In case anyone forgot: Our elections are safer, more secure, and more accessible because of mail-in voting. In 2013, Colorado set the gold standard. Now the fight to protect Americans' right to vote continues.

President Trump has no idea what he’s doing in Iran. For five months he has promised complete and total victory. He’s not winding down the war, he’s escalating it.

A historic 1,200-year drought is adding fuel to the wildfires in Colorado. It’s costing our state. →It’s costing lives →It’s costing homes →It’s costing communities We won’t stop fighting for resources our first responders and communities need to battle these fires.

Instead of actually working to fix our broken immigration system, the Trump administration is trying to reignite yesterday’s culture wars. These young people, many of whom have never had a home other than Colorado, want an education so they can build their lives.

At a time when 41% of Americans carry a staggering $220 billion in medical debt, patients deserve price transparency. Our Patients Deserve Price Tags Act brings much-needed sunlight to our health care system—the first step toward lowering costs and making universal health care a reality. (1/2)

The link between climate change and drought is undeniable. New research shows the 2026 Western snow drought was about four times more likely because of climate change. We need to work together to address this existential crisis. www.denverpost.com/2026/07/22/c...

May 5th. That’s the last time Secretary Hegseth and General Caine gave a public briefing on the Iran War. Now they want Congress to write a blank check for nearly $100 billion. Why are they keeping the Americans in the dark, but wanting taxpayers to hand over billions for their illegal war?

The proof is in the pudding. Trump is bad for the economy and bad for American jobs.

Enough is enough. The American people overwhelmingly don't want this war of choice. President Trump needs to end it before more lives are lost and more damage is done.

More than a hundred billion in taxpayer dollars have been spent for no discernible benefit, while working families struggle to afford gas, groceries, and health care. With no deal in sight, President Trump is now escalating this illegal war even further, with no clear justification and no endgame.

This weekend was a painful reminder that President Trump's war isn't some distant conflict. It's costing lives and hurting Colorado families. Seventeen heroic U.S. service members have now been tragically killed, with many more injured.
