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.

RFK Jr. has ruined trust in our public health and put our communities at risk. He's appearing before Congress this week. Drop your questions for RFK Jr. below:

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.

President Trump relented on his threat to wipe out Iranian civilization less than two hours before his deadline, after terrorizing the world for two days. If your head is spinning, you’re not alone. Check out our latest Substack on why we need to end this illegal war—now.

In Denver, we met with community leaders at Montbello’s FreshLo Hub. As basic necessities become less affordable, the work they’re doing here to create affordable lives for Coloradans is remarkable. We’re fighting to make sure families across the country have that same access.

Scientists fired. Measles cases up. And we’re less prepared for the next pandemic. That’s what we heard in Adams County meeting with public health officials from around the Metro area. The Trump admin has done a number on America’s public health. It puts our families and communities at risk.

Across Colorado, the message we’re hearing from Coloradans is clear: they want stability. They want relief. The president couldn’t care less. He’s got no plan to get us out of Iran, while prices at home continue to rise.

Between his tariffs and his illegal war in Iran, Trump’s economy is making life unaffordable for too many Americans. We met with folks in Montrose who’ve been feeling their impacts for a year now:

Inflation at a two-year high, gas prices soaring, weekly grocery trips outpacing your paycheck. This illegal war with Iran is creating a cost of living crisis for working families.

It’s been over a year since Trump’s illegal tariffs stole money from small businesses and your wallet. And now, his actions abroad are only making life more expensive for Coloradans. You deserve a full refund. www.denverpost.com/2026/04/07/c...

In Delta, we toured rural health facilities and sat down with local providers and officials to chat about our fight for health care. Every Coloradan deserves health care that is affordable, accessible, and universal.
