Happy 4th of July, Colorado! As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, we’re also celebrating the Centennial State’s 150th this year! Hoping everyone can get out and enjoy time with family and friends and some good food today.

We’re on the ground near Steamboat where conditions are ripe for wildfires. This megadrought is an emergency. All of us, across the state, need to work together to address our water future.

There’s no doubt climate change is shaping this fire season in Colorado. Our communities are in the middle of a megadrought. Our water resources are stretched thin. Our snowpack is at historic lows. This is a climate emergency. coloradosun.com/2026/03/22/1...

It’s been a week since President Trump threw a tantrum and refused to pass a bipartisan bill to lower housing costs for Americans. We need to get this bill across the finish line and make homes affordable for working families.

We’re forever grateful for our servicemembers as we head into July 4th weekend.

Trump’s economy only works for the ultra-wealthy, not YOU. Trump and his cronies are banking billions off the backs of working Americans who are getting the short end of the stick year over year. www.cbsnews.com/news/labor-s...

Colorado communities are under evacuation orders and covered in smoke. The West is experiencing a historic 1,200 year megadrought. This is an all-hands-on-deck emergency. Firefighters and communities need resources NOW to keep themselves and all of us safe. www.denverpost.com/2026/06/30/c...

Scam after scam after scam. While you’re struggling to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare, Trump and his family are banking billions on crypto scams. The most corrupt administration in our nation’s history.

President Trump’s priorities are clear: a giant ballroom for himself while blocking a bipartisan bill that will help working families buy homes. www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Colorado’s elections are free, fair, and secure. We’ll keep fighting to protect your right to vote and fighting back against their lies and suppression. (2/2)

While hundreds of thousands of Coloradans were making their voices heard yesterday, Tina Peters and Donald Trump were in the Oval Office undermining confidence in our democracy. (1/2)

Election Day in Colorado is over, but the real work continues. Working people are facing a cost-of-living emergency, and America is facing the most corrupt administration in our nation’s history. There’s no time to waste. It’s time to work harder and harder. It’s time to giddy up!

Birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Constitution. Even a MAGA-engineered Supreme Court wouldn't buy Trump's bogus reading of the Constitution. But this isn't Trump's first or last attempt to trample the Constitution. We'll fight him at every turn.

On the ground today in Mesa County meeting with the brave firefighters and emergency management staff who are responding to the horrific Snyder fire. We’ll fight for any support or resources they need as they continue battling these destructive fires.

After a record low snowpack this winter and a 1,200 year megadrought, the West is already in the midst of a catastrophic fire season. This is a climate emergency. The Trump admin needs to quit firing Forest Service staff and send FEMA resources to our communities in need. We need action NOW.

Mail-in voting is safe and secure. As governor of Colorado, we created the gold-standard mail-in voting system because we know every American deserves to have their voices heard. Today’s decision reinforces that every vote counts and states have the right over their own elections.

Denver Pride was electric today! Great to see everyone celebrating our LGBTQ+ community as we continue the fight to make sure everyone has the freedom to be who they are and love who they love. 🏳️🌈

We met with Pastor Nalwamba today during an oversight visit to the Aurora ICE detention facility to demand answers and urge the Trump admin to follow the law and pause his deportation.

Colorado Pastor Edward Nalwamba should be with his own congregation today. Instead, he's being detained at the Aurora ICE detention facility and faces deportation to Uganda where his safety is at risk.

Our thoughts are with the three firefighters who were killed yesterday while battling wildfires along the Colorado-Utah border, and with their loved ones. Wishing those who were injured a speedy recovery. (1/2) apnews.com/article/west...

Big problems call for big solutions. That's why we fought for and passed the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the largest investment in infrastructure in generations. Roads. Bridges. Water. Airports. All laying the foundation for a stronger Colorado.

Last year, we liberated the Kennedy Center. Now, Trump’s name is off the building, his hand-picked director gone, and we’re still celebrating Pride!

As a geologist, I’ll translate: the White House demolished a perfectly fine, historic walkway and replaced it with expensive granite. Americans want cheaper gas and groceries, and Trump keeps wasting your money on vanity projects.

Masked agents. Families torn apart. Our communities terrorized. Not one more penny for Trump’s lawless ICE.

Our public lands aren't for sale to fund billionaire tax breaks. Not now. Not ever. When MAGA Republicans tried to sell off our public lands we fought them and won. These lands should be cherished and preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Trump’s illegal war in Iran is hurting Americans at the pump, the grocery store, and everywhere in between. Trump ran on lowering costs. Instead he’s raising them.

Tina Peters doesn’t deserve a dime of your taxpayer money. She deserves to be in jail. We led the fight that forced the White House to back down from its disgraceful slush fund for election criminals and the Jan. 6 rioters. And we'll keep fighting until it's dead permanently.

Americans want reliable and affordable energy. To keep up with demand and to combat climate change, we need more investments in clean energy projects. We’ve fought the Trump admin’s reckless cuts to clean energy alternatives at every turn.

No one in Colorado ever did more to promote music, musicians, and the thousands of ways they make Colorado a paradise for all of us lucky enough to call this place home. And no one ever did more to promote the public good and community benefits than Bret Saunders.

We voted twice this week to end Trump’s illegal war in Iran that’s raising costs on you and your family. The president is focused on everything except lowering costs for American families.

President Trump should foot the bill for his disastrous work on the reflecting pool. It’s a national treasure, not a rushed vanity project for a photo-op. apnews.com/article/refl...

Alongside Republican clerks we created the gold standard mail-in voting system in Colorado. It’s safe, secure, and saves money. The admin’s attacks on mail-in voting are an attack on voting rights. Plain and simple. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

How do you spend $16 million on the Reflecting Pool and end up with this crap? Congress needs to investigate this immediately. Trump needs to reimburse taxpayers. The American people deserve answers.

The Reflecting Pool belongs to the American people. The bill for this mess belongs to one person: President Donald J. Trump. We’re calling on him to personally reimburse taxpayers for this disaster. If he wants a green reflecting pool with algae and dead ducks, he can pay for it himself.

It’s ballrooms for him. No housing for you. Once again, Trump is putting himself first over lowering costs for you and your family.

Trump’s cruel cuts are leaving 800,000 kids hungry. All so billionaires can get tax breaks. If only he cared about your family as much as he does about himself or his friends.

As a former small business owner, your greatest foe is uncertainty. Trump’s on-again and off-again tariffs are making it harder and more uncertain for Americans to keep their businesses running and make ends meet.

Healthcare should be a right, not a privilege. We need to keep fighting for universal healthcare so everyone has access to the care they need and deserve.

Two things keep coming up when I talk to farmers across Colorado: costs and water. Trump’s illegal war and tariffs are driving up costs. And his administration’s slow walking of Colorado River grants has only made our water crisis worse. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
